CLOSES
Second Day of Potato Show Equally
as Interesting as First With
Good Attendance.
Experts Elucidate Potato, Diseases.
Their Control and Best Ways
of Spraying Tubers.

Upon the second day Of the potato
institute at the armory there was a
good attendance of representative far
mers, all of whom were much inter-
ested in the program.
G.. R. Bisby of the plant disease
bureau of the state college of agri-
culture addressed the audience on po-
tato diseases, potato disease control
and seed certifcation. In his discourse
he emphasized particularly two points,
the first being the treating of seed
potatoes. He advocated the use of a
solution of 4 ounces Of corrosive sub
Innate to 30 gallons of water, and the
soaking of the seed in this for an hour.
and a half. This, he said, was the
best treatment that experimentation
had discovered. The old formalin
solution, he declared, has not proven
successful for rhizoctonia or black
scurf. The second point upon which,
he laid stress was spraying with arse
nate of lead instead of Paris green.
The arsenate of lead, he said, sticks
40 times longer to the plants than
Paris green, but it must be utilized as
the eggs are Matching, as the poison
acts more slowly than Paris green.
He also advised spraying with Bor-
deaux mixture to stop blight and gen.
eral leaf injury.
P. E. Clements of the state uni
versity farm covered many general
points in the marketing of potatoes.
designating in particular the kinds
and quality Of the potatoes demanded:
by the big markets. He showed con-
clusively that one of the most i'm
portant points to be considered in
marketing is to produce uniform high
quality, disease-free and injury free
stock. Local buyers must necessarily
pay lower prices for much diseased
and run-out stock, he said. This would
be particularly necessary, he declared,
should farmers desire at any time to,
ship out a carload of potatoes them
selves. He also showed very clearly
the need of middlemen in handling,
potatoes.
Prof. Kirkpatrick spoke briefly. on
the general precautions which should
be taken in potato culture and of the
! necessity Of farmers supporting the
Mile Laos county bureau in it's pota-
to Improvement project as outlined by
County Agent Dahlberg the previous
day. The county agent, he said, cam

or purpose because he has not the time.
Farmers desiring his assistance must
make their wants known.
Verne Steward, former county
agent, announced the premiums cash
and ribbons and the insti-
tute closed. The amount of cash.
premiums awarded was $72..

Away With the Slingshot.

o.
Complaints have been made that
boys with slingshots (catapults) are
shooting robins and other songbirds
which have arrived from the south to
raise their families.
Before more of these birds have
been slaughtered or driven from their
nesting places in the trees and shrub
berry of our lawns it is timely to call
attention to the federal and state laws
which prohibit killing, worrying or
disturbing the nests of harmless birds,
whether migratory or NOT, by any
means whatsoever. The statutes are
very specific-the state cooperating
with the federal authorities-and both
Imprisonment and fines are provided
for violation.
'Slingshots, in the hands of boys, are
considered among the most destructive
weapons used so far as bird life is
concerned, and it would be well for
parents to make their children desist
from the utilization of this murderous
instrument.
Then, again, aside from the destruc-
ton of our feathered friends and the
driving of them to more congenial
sections of the country, the slingshot
is a menace to both pedestrians and
window panes. Numerous instances
have been recorded throughout the
country where men, women and chill
.dren have been deprived of sight in
consequence of being struck by BIB
shot projected from catapults.
Marshal Fox has signified his inten-
ton of arresting all boys found to
have slingshots in their possession.
This is published as a warning to
those who have and are using these
weapons, as to do so constitutes
violation Of the law.
There are thousands of people who
do not realize the benefit derived by
all of us from bird life especially to
farmers, gardeners and fruit raisers.
In conversation with Rev. Mayer of
st. Edwards church last week he con-
graduated the Union upon the stand it
takes in regard to birds and dumb
animals, saying that kindness to these
creatures should be more largely in
culcated into the minds of school chill
dren. Father Mayer is a great lover
OF birds and animals, and, speaking of
our feathered friends, he said that if
the farmer and gardener would but con-
slider the vast amount of benefit they
derive from these insect destroyers
they would protect them to the utmost
of their ability. Were the birds an
initiated, said Rev. Mayer, in one
year a famine would result of so great
a magnitude as has never been known.
Protect the birds and they will pro-
tect you against insect pests. They
will demonstrate to you that one good
turn deserves another. And then
there are their CHEEKY little morning
carols as they sit upon the treetops
near your bedroom window and sing
praises unto God. There are but few
who have not enjoyed the inspirational
warblings of these little songsters,
and it is crime against heaven to
destroy them or permit the little fell
lows to be destroyed or molested.

Public Health Association.

The completion of the work of or
ganizing a Mile Laos county public
health association is only awaiting the
drying of the roads, as meeting with
representatives from all over the coun-
ty is desired. This is a movement
that should have not only the consider
alton but the help Of every person
in the county for, as the Rev. James E.
Freeman expressed it before meet
ing in Minneapolis last Friday morn
ing, at which time he was urging the
women to stand back of public well
fare bill, when you're getting down
to public health you're getting down to
brass tacks."
That there may be no misunder-
standing of the aims of county health
association they are herewith set
forth: 1. To check the spread of in
fectious diseases. 2. To detect aid
aid in the correction Of physical de-
fects. 3. To initiate habits of right
living in towns and rural districts.
Everyone will concede that the
spread of infectious diseases is large
ly due to ignorance and misinforma-
ton, and it is the aim of a public
health association to so educate the
public through the distribution of
literature and by other practical
methods that preventable diseases
may soon be a thing Of the past. : The
one way to get rid of preventable dis
eases is to educate the people in the
cause and control of disease and then
to put that education into daily prac-
tice. This the association will help
the people to do.
The widespread distress and the
Gripping of the industrial world
caused by the late epidemic of in
fluenza emphasize the need for CO.
operation along the line of combating
disease.
Spasmodic campaigns against dis
~s~o~
the solid foundation of a permenant
organization which employs practical
methods to build lasting bulwark
that will stand against all assaults
from disease.
Detecting and aiding in the cor
rection of physical defects are also
important parts of the education
furthered by the association. Statistics
show that disgracefully large pro-
portion of the young men of our coun-
try who were examined at the time
of the draft were suffering-in many
cases seriously-from defects that in
childhood could have been easily cor
rected.
Someone has aptly said that the
surest way to enrich the country is to
conserve the health of it's citizens. The
conservation of the health of the citi
zens of our county is the object of
the public health association. It's aims
are not visionary. It's methods are not
Impractical. It's aims are farseeing
and it's methods have been tested.
Give this movement not only your
good will but give it your active as
slstance by attending the public meet
ing that will be held in Princeton
some time this month.

No MORE PRICE FIXING WANTED
Fixing the price that a coz.
modify must sell for is a danger
Gus business and only justified IN
in emergencies where it is of
great Importance to stimulate
production, as with wheat during
the war period. A fixed price
satisfies no one. Farmers feel
that wheat would have brought
more if there had been no price
fixed, and the consumer feels
that fixing the price of wheat has
made his bread cost more than it
should. People are anxious
both producers and Consumers
to get back to normal basis,
where the law of supply and de-
mand will govern prices 1t is
to be sincerely hoped that many
years will pass before any more
artificial price fixing is necessary
in this country. Inland Farmer.

From Herbert Hoover, the directing genius of the Food Administration, the world peace commissioners who are soon sit at Versailles with great proht borrow a guiding maxim for their deliberations It happens to couched in precisely the same words as the message which the commanding ofhcer or the famous Host battalion during the Argonne Forest fight was said to have sent to the German General who demanded his surreider and it is easily reme- bered.
 Notified that the infamous Baron von Der Lanck- en- one of administrators of the Mllltary Government of Belgium, and an associate Dr. Rleth, had been named by the Berlin Government to nego- tate for supplies and desired conference, the impulsve Hoover hotly reminded the official inquirer of the arrogance with which he had been treated and the cruelty had been the portion of his Belgian charges during the two years of his work in that stricken country. Then he added this impressive but entirely appropriate and crowning peroration
 In language may select tell the pair person. ally to go to hell with my compliments
 There was a qualification which the commissioners should also regard He said that if necessity com pelled him to deal with Germany it would not be through the Baron and the doctor. Nor should the masters of the world assembled in France give need to the of evil genius who unoosed this torrent of terror and hurricane of hatred suffering hu- manity. Hoover is neither profane nor vulgar, put solemnly and eternally proper and correct.

could untrained American doughboys do in the face of such odds?
 What they did do, these American boys, in less than two years of training is matter of history. If any is in doubt let him ask the Prussian Guards any of the shock troops of the former Kaiser. They learned the answer along the Marne the Somme and before Sedan.
 Is it not possble-indeed, does it not appear highly probable-that America will enjoy much the same experiences the foreign courts of diplomacy as those which followed her entrance upon the fields of sanguinary battle? Is it not within the bounds of reason to believe that these diplomats and peoples particularly the latter-of the old world be- ginning to realize that there is power in plain, straightforward clean American honesty that may win it's victories surely will of careful train ing and the ceverest subtletes of intrigue?
 In the light of events now transpiring overseas there is neither reason nor excuse for any of the people in this country to fear that America and Americans will lose in the coming conferences whether they represent the final enterprise of humanity"
 Honesty as the best policy has long been admitted if not practiced If honesty is also accepted the universal policy among nations, and put into practice through the aid of President Wilson and his asso- cates, it will prove the most eventful chapter in history within 1900 years.

HONESTY AS AN INTERNATIONAL POLICY

Prksident Wilson, in his address at Guild Hall, London clearly states his reasons for going abroad explaining, in his reference to the establishment or an enduring peace among all nations "that it was my paramount duty to turn away even from the lm- perative tasks home to lend such counsel and aid as could to this great, may not say hnal enter prise of humanity"
 If the presence of President Wilson responsible, in part for the realization of such an inter national millennium, certainly his critics will be among the first to acknowledge their error. UT course these notable gatherings of the courts ana peoples of Europe do honor to representative or America, important they unquestonably are, are but the prelimnaries to the actual work and final decisions of the peace conference.
 In particular the visits of President Wilson and the wonderful receptions accorded him are tre- mendously significant. According to his own test- mony the recognized leaders and peoples of the allied nations are unit in acknowledging enduring peace" the only object of the coming conference and the only possible result which can compensate four years of terrible war
 How many of these similar ideas President Wilson found his arrival how many were molded or influenced by his presence, may be matter Of con lecture. Judging from the demonstrations accorded his appearance, the farreaching attention ac corded his every utterance and the indorsement Of his every address by the editorial comment Of the leading journals of the world, he has not failed impress these distant neighbors with his individual ity and personality well his integrity and sin cerity of purpose. These influences promise to play a real part in future history.
