We also have several other insidious
and elusive, though none the less dan
gerous diseases, showing up here and
there in our fields. The most COM
mon of these is the calico, causing
plants to have white patches on their
leaves. 1t is not fatal, but it does
reduce the yield of the tubers of that
plant-and we don't want it. We
find in many fields, especially of the
Idaho Rural variety, many plants
with small, weak stems. The lower
leaves get rusty appearance and fall
off. The plant continues sickly all
season and makes less than half a
yield. The disease comes back the
next year in greater numbers. We
don't want it.
"Among the Gems this year we
fin din many fields a great percent
age of weak, dwarfed plants. Many
growers attribute this to dry weather
at planting time. They are wrong,
These plants, traced back to the seed,
show many tubers that instead of
sending out normal sprouts, develop
ed only weak, spindly sprouts, the
size of a darning needle. This is the
'spindly sprout' disease. We don't
want it.
"We might mention several others,
but space forbids. What shall we
do? There is a choice of three things
that we can do. First, we can dis
card the whole lot and get seed else
where, though we may not help mat
tiers much, as the other fellows seed
may be equally bad. Second, we can
dig out and destrop all the plants in
the field that are weak or diseased.
This is feasible only where the Der
centage of bad plants is small, and
it is not advisabl where the fall stage
of 'black-leg' is evident. This method
must be followed where certification
of seed is desired, and the work must
be done thoroughly. Third, we may
go into the field when the plants are
nearly mature, but before they are
ripe or frozen down, and after care
fully examining the plants select
those that are desirable and have
clean bill of health, for our next
years seed.
"This is the advisable method for
theaverage man for improving or
holding his standard of excellence of
his potato crop. Fields that are
badly mixed and that have a
lot of disease usually have many good
individual plants. These nay be
taken out and sowed by themselves
for seed with much profit.
Does good, pure seed pay? Last
week we were in a field of one hun
.red acres. The grower had planted
it with potatoes purchased from a
dealer. They were supposed to be
good seed of a variety that had been
The daily star-mirror. (Moscow, Idaho) 1911-1939, 1920-08-28

purchased in one of the eastern pota-
to seed growing states. This field of
potatoes had a poor stand. About 5
percent were of the variety purchas-
ed and most of them were run out
'multipliers'-big plants with fine,
purple blossoms but with strings of
tubers the size of bantam eggs. There
were at least half a dozen distinct
varieties of potatoes in the field. The
loss cannot be less than one hundred
sacks per acre. One hundred acres
makes 10000 sacks loss. Did poor
seed cost this mar anything?
1--WE must have better seed. We
will have quite a number of acres of
seed in the state that can be certi-
fled, and that means that it must be
good. 1t will take 1000 acres of po-
tatoes to plant Idaho's next years
crop of potatoes. We may have
enough certified seed to plant from
two to five per cent of the acreage.
What about the other 95 or SO per
cent? Now is the time to think
about seed for next years planting.
1t is also about time to get into the
field and get some seed, free from
disease, for next years crop. If you
think you will not be able to dis
distinguish the desirable plants

inarians to do the testing free of

well says he recently tested a herd
of AZ cows in which there were IL,

with tuberculosis, and another herd
in which more than so per cent were
afflicted. Boise recently passed an
ordinance requiring the testing of
all COWS whose milk is sold within
the city limits.
to test a herd of dairy cattle whose
owner had lost a member of his fam
lily from tuberculosis. The test show
ed that the old family cow that the
had owned for years, was affected
with the disease and it is believed the
child had been infected by the use
of the milk. Babies are especially
susceptible to tuberculosis from
drinking milks from diseased cows"
said DR.. Kidwell "and the law is in
tended to protect them. With 1900
students coming to Moscow to at
tend the university of Idaho, it
would appear that every precauction
should be taken to safeguard their
health n 1t seems to me that the as
surance of pure milk from COWS
known to be free from disease is an
important STEP"
DR.. Kidwell explained that under
the state and federal laws the gov
ernments cooperating, do the testing
and the owner of any diseased cow is
reimbursed for his loss if the cow is
condemned and ordered slaughtered.
The government pays up to $50 for a
grade COW and up to 500 for a pure
bred cow and the owner is entitled to
any salvage from the hide and car
cass," said DR.. Kidwell. The matter
will be taken before the city council
at its next meeting.

GET SEED POTATOES
NOW SAYS BENNETT
UNIVERSITY FIELD HORTICUL-
TURIST GIVES ADVICE TO
IDAHO POTATO MEN.

BOISE, Idaho-ln a statement urg-
ing that potato growers of Idaho
'look our for seed potatoes now" E.
R. Bennett, field horticulturist of the
University of Idaho extension divis-
ion, says that 1000 ears of seed will
be required to plant Idaho's next
years crop of potatoes, and that far
mers must begin to select the tubers
they will plant.
"Other things being equal" he
says, "the yield and quality of any
crop of potatoes will depend on the
quality and freedom from disease of
the seed used in planting the crop.
This statement of a well known truth
has been brought forcibly to my mind
again and again in the past month
while looking over some hundreds of
fields of growing potatoes that we
have just seen in a trip over the
potato growing counties of Idaho.
eve pride ourselves on the big
yields and fine quality of potatoes
grown in Idaho, and we'll we may,
for no state in the union produces
better, but we have diseases in our
potatoes-several of them-and they
are becoming more numerous.
Two years ago we found a few
plants in the fall that had gone down
from the effects of the 'black-leg'
disease. On this recent trip we have
turned down a great number of fields
Of seed potatoes because of the pres
ence Of sblack-leg.' Last fall we saw
a fine field of potatoes-fine except
that there were in places over the
field plants that had stems black and
decayed just above the ground. Some
of the tubers from these plants de-
cayed. Tubers from the plants with
less of the infection did not show
the disease at all. Seed from this
field was planted on many different
farms in that county, and the seed
looked good, but there is now a high
percentage of plants in every one of
these fields that have well developed
cass of 'black-leg.'
"Rhizoctonia and fusarium are both
also common. The rhizoctonia and
to a lesser extent the fusarium are
always with us, but we must not en-
courage either of them by planting
seed known to be infected with them.

Nonpartisans Spoke Here
The meeting held in the city park
last Friday evening by the nonpar-
tisan league, was not very well at
tended. At $50 O'Clock the crowd
numbered 27. Very few farmers were
in attendance.
F. D. Fairchild of Kuna, candidate
for governor on the League ticket,
and F. P. Waters, organizer for the
League in this county, were the
speakers. They pointed out a num-
Der of conditions that are facing the
people of the country today, but Of
fered practically nothing of a con-
structive nature that might reason
ably be expected to combat these
evils.
Farmers Bank Exhibit
September Is is the date set for
the opening day of the Farmers Bank
exhibit, which will continue for five
days. Quite a large display of grains
and grasses has already been received
at the bank but the farmers of the
Potlatch country r urged to save
grains, grasses, vegetables and fruits
SO that they may be added to the dis
play. 1t will be a fine thing for the
country if the growers take an in
terest in the fair and bring in a sam
pie of the best products of their
farms.
The name of the grower of any in
dividual exhibit will be attached so
that those who attend the fair will
know whose farm it came from.

out for ~surfacing the road.
When the crusher was located on
the Mervyn ranch it was thought
plenty of rock could be found. A drill
hole had been sunk and rock found,
but upon further Investigation it was
found that the layer of rock was only
some four or five feet thick and that
it was useless to begin operations
there so arrangements have been
made with Platt Bros. and the rock
taken from the old quarry there.
The Platt rock is much harder than
that found on the Mervyn ranch and
while it will take much more time
and work to take it out, there is an
other thing also in connection with it
for it will make a road that will wear
much longer and the upkeep will be
less. The haul will be much farther
and the work of surfacing of neces-
sity slower.
