Influenza Epidemics.

A British doctor, writing in the Lon
don Lancet last November calculated,
as a result Of his observation Of intiu'
enza epidemicS. that one occurred
every thirty-three weeks, though those
falling in mild weather were so slight
as to be hardly noticeable. He pre-.
dicted that the next epidemic would
occur in January or February OF this
year. slxty-SiN weeks after the severe
epidemic of 1918. If his observations
and theory are correct the next two
should come in the mild weather OF
next September AMI NJ April, 1921.
Another one would then be due in
December. 1921. But n the germ cauS-
ing the disease seems to be losing its
yirulence there is ground for hope
that. in spite OF the defenselessness of
medical science in combating the cpl
demlc, the worst is over for a good
many years.

TOM MIX FIRST TO
PERFORM NEW STUNT.

Many screen actors who are fond
OF doing stunts can stop a runaway
horse by running along with the
horse and leaping to the animals
back-a matter comparatively sim
pie for an expert horseman. But
Tom Mix, whom William Fox Will
present in "The Feud" tomorrow at
the Coy Theater, is the first with
sufficient courage to bow TO the de-
mands OF the Scenario, leap tor the
back OF the horse andf then permit
the horse to throw him of while the
animal Is galloping at full speed.
This stunt is called for by an cpl
sode in the action in which Mix saves
the life of enemy feudists by stop
ping the runaway horse, but is
thrown from the animal and render
ed unconscious This paves the way
for the others to discover a locket
around his neck in which he carries
the portrait of the daughter of the
enemy.
When Mix first read the story he
liked the idea OF stopping the runa-
way. but baked at letting the horse
throw him off lest his admirers
think he had failed in stunt. But
II was pointed out that all would rec
ognize that the fall was necessary
for the sake of the story. So Mix
agreed. thus making this scene in
his newest feature more dramatic.

picture is found in the locket.

arm Notes BY the County Agent


Farm Notes by the County Agent
Many cases of late blight on Irish
potatoes have been observed the past
week, both in the gardens and in the
fields. This is a fungus that makes
its appearance about the time the POI
tatoes are ready to bloom and becomes
very destructive during moist weather.
1t is first noticeable on the leaves,
which take on a water-soaked appear
ance and dry UP at the tips or on the
edges. Later on the stems may turn
black and ide and the potatoes have
reddish brown rot. During dry
weather the disease does not usually
prove to be very serious, but should
there be many of moist weather a
whole field may be ruined in week.
With potatoes selling now at $500
bushel and the prospect of prices
continuing good, it certainly will pay
to go to some trouble and expense to
save the potato crop. Bordeaux OF
4-4-5O strength is the remedy. This
is cheap and can be bought already
prepared. or can be made at home.
Spray the plants thoroughly and with
pump that will give fine mist.
Make an application every week dur
Ing damp weather and every two
weeks when it is clear.
The disease is brought in on infect
ed seed and the best way to avoid 1t on
new land is to discard all potatoes
that show dark streaks and rings
when cut open.
Watermelon growers should be on
the watch-out for the aphis (plant
louse). or "Hessian fly as it is COM
monty known. BY going through the
field before the plants have developed
much vine and taking all infested
leaves and badly infested vines and
burying them, it may not be necessary
later on to spray against this insect.
It is easy to locate the presence of the
aphis by the wrinkled and cupped ap-
pearance of the leaves. BY taking
these off when they first show up,
big amount of damage later on will pc
prevented. In cases of heavy and
general infestation of the whole field,
the only effective remedy is spraying
with tobacco extract. Use black leaf
40. which can be bought at seed stores,
at the rate of one half pint to 90 gal
Ions of water and add three pounds
bordeaux mixture and half pint OF
the black leaf 40 to so gallons of the
bordeaux. This combination will con-
troll the aphis and also anthracnose'
which often seriously damages the
melon crop.
