and definite part of the tissues,
known as the vascular or water con-
Quoting system. This latter appears
in cross sections Of healthy tubers as
faint ring short distance from the
outside surface and runs out into
each eye. With the wilt disease the
vascular ring, and this only. shows
yellowing or browning. The dis
celebration is sharply limited and may
form a more or less complete ring in
cross section of the affected region
OF the potato tuber. Net necrosis Oh
the other hand shows streaks and
network through other portions of
the flesh of the tuber, more especial
ly outside of the vascular ring.
No conclusive evidence has yet
been obtained to show that net
necrosis is of a parasitic nature \
similar appearing trouble may be
produced by chilling. but potatoes af-
fected with net necrosis have been
found in Maine where there was no
possibility of their having been
chilled. While the cause OF this con-
dition is not known we now know
what effects are liable to follow from
it. Work has been going on for five
years to determine just what might
be expected rs the result of planting
seed potatoes affected with net
necrosis. 1t has now been quite
definitely proven that potatoes affect
ed in this way should never be used
tor seed purposes. The plants which
grow from such tubers are in a great
proportion weak and spiadling and
the crop obtained is small and disap-
pointing.
Recently it has become evident that
there may be some relation between
net necrosis and leaf roll. In 1916.
1917. 1918 and 1919, net necrosis
potatoes from various sources have
been planted upon the farms of the
Maine Agricultural Experiment Sta
ton and have produced plants with
leaf-roll SYMPTOMS. That is, the plants
were dwarfed and spindly. with the
leaves rolled or spoon shaped. more
SO as they are closer to the soil. and
yeliowish green. Experiments are
under way at Aroostook Farm to de-
termine whether the elimination of
leaf roll is possible and whether its
reduction or eliminat ton will make
net necrosis disappear.
Ine Station appeals to the practi-
cal potato growers of the State for
assistance in studying and securing
data relative to this important potato
disease problem. Any reader of this
article who has observed net necrosis
among the potatoes which he grew
last season will materially add to our
knowledge of the distribution and
prevalence Of the disease if he vii,
write the Station to that effect. In
return the Station will gladly ex-
anime, and report on any suspected
tubers which are sent in. 1t is also
desired to know when the disease
first appeared. What varieties have
been attacked, and Is there any diff
ference In suspectibility? Is the dis
ease on the increase? Have YOU con-
elusive evidence that II occurs where
the tubers have never been even
slightly chilled? Have you any evil
dence that the disease is hereditary?
Is it found when either the parent
stock or the progeny are known GER
tainIy to be free from leaf roll? ANY
other information relative to this and
similar potato troubles will be APP
preciated.

WATCH OUT
FOR POSEN

How clever Hammond vonlan out
witted the rustic authorities of a cross
roads town in Illinois after she had
been maliciously arrested was revealed
here today The story carries also a
warning to other Indiana motorists who
may drift into the tolls of the graft
ring of the little burg.
The Hammond woman yesterday was
gliding along Thornton road in her
chummy roadster. She passed an old
land mark and knew that the corporate
limits of Posen. Ill. cncomp passed her.
As she approached the crossing of the
Grand Trunk railroad. near Blue Island.
no trains in sight and she drove over
the crossing. A moment later up
wheezed a man on q motorcycle.
You're under arrest by heck" says
he.
For WHAT" asked the Hammond
woman
For what" says the village sleuth.
as he removed a stalk of timothy from
his mouth. We'll fer not stoppin' be-
fore you crossed the railroad tracks
You gotta come to a full stop. Now
come on and see the judge"
Outside the dingy shack that served
as ''calaboose' and city court of Posen
tho woman drew her car TO halt About
twenty other cars. some bearing Indiana
license tags, and others in transit were
parked before the bar of injustice
You'll have 20 put up $40 cash bond
% appear here tomorrow morning" said
the judge. The woman was well sup
piled with currency and a like amount
Of suspicion. III have 10 give YOU
check" she said. After whispered con
sultation with his henchmen the judge
consented to accept the check.
OF course the woman stopped pay
ment Immediately on returning to Ham
mond. According to her lawyer the
kangaroo court is old graft and
she had ben wrongfully arrested.
Other Hammond motorists will avoid
Posen, ILL., on weekend pleasure trips.

.LYNDORA RESIDENTS
WANT LOWER PRICES
Object to U. S. Housing
Corporations Prices for
Houses it is to Sell.

seventy-hve tenants Of houses built
bg the L. s. Housing Corporation in
Hammond's Lyndora addition. decided at
2 meeting last night that the prices
asked BY the government in the sale
of the houses arc too high and efforts
VIII be made TO hold up the sale until
the matter can he investigated.
The Lyndora Welfare Association was
organized recently among the tenants
OF the government houses. Last nights
meeting was called at the I4yndora hotel
after the tenants had received notices
Of the approaching sale Of their prop
erty. stating the prices which had been
fixed for the houses in which they live
and giving them until next Wedn dnesday
in which 70 exercise the option which
was given 10 all renters.
At least half Of the families living in
the subdivision were represented and
the opinion was voiced that. considering
the situation. the prices nNed should be
lowered.
Frank Martin. who is tho govern
ment's agent IN the sale. was present
when the meeting convened but as it
had been called for tenants only. he
was not permitted 10 remain. but re-
turned and spoke after the business of
the evening had been transacted He
had been made the butt of much of
the argument of the session as the i'm
preston prevailed that he was going
TO clean up from $500 to $500 on each
house This idea seems to have been
started by the action Of the Housing
Corporation in adding the above sums
TO the prices which had been fixed on
the houses by the appraisers
When Mr.. Martin was permitted to
speak. he explained that he was merely
the agent and had nothing to do with
the prices. Pressed regarding the com
mission he expected he finally permit
Ted the chairman TO see the contract
between him and the authorities at
Washington. He is 10 get commission
of onc-half Of one per cent where sales
are made to tenants
Following his speech and the proof
which he submitted the renters were
inclined to let up on their condemna-
tion of the agent, but they remained
unchanged in their original determina-
tion to protest against the prices.

neat vari-colsred border. In opposite
corners had been passed the heads Of
two fine looking bull dogs.
As employees began struggling in
they surveyed tbs sign and began TO
laugh. Bill Bridge. city engineer
sauntered in. looked at the sign and
chuckled. When Bill chuckles the
building shakes and when he laughs
animate objects become petrified.
