May Prevent Potato
Mosaic Disease

Prevention of mosaic disease Of
Irish potatoes, which decreases yields
of affected potatoes 20 to so per cent,
and for which no satisfactory control
measures have been generally adopted
now appears possible as a result of a
series of Investigations conducted in
Maine by specialists of the United
States Department of Agriculture and
the Maine Agricultural Experiment
Station.
The essential points are that mosaic
is carried over from season to season
and from farm to farm by planting
potatoes from diseased hills. The
spread of mosaic in field is due
mainly to aphids or plant lice, which
feed upon mosaic plants and then upon
healthy ones. The potatoes thus in
oculated may show the disease very
soon, or it may not appear until the
following season, when the progeny
will develop mosaic. Mosaic may be
spread also by rubbing crushed leaves
of diseased plants upon healthy ones,
and by injections of the juice of dis
eased plants. 1t has not been spread
by the seed-cutting knife.
The percentage of diseased plants in
a field may not change greatly from
year to year, but the tendency is for
the mosaic to increase, particularly
where aphids are abundant Seed from
hills that grew near mosaic hills are
more likely to yield mosaic progeny
and more so if the parent hill con.
tains only two or three tubers, and as
the relative size of the tuber in the
parent hill is greater and as the seed
larger.
The conclusions drawn from the ex
periments are that the first essential
is to secure seed stock from fields en-
tirely free from mosaic, or as nearly
so as one can be found. The potatoes
shuld be isolated from all fields where
mosaic occurs and every effort should
be made to prevent attack by aphids
Thus far, Colorado beetles and flea
beetles have not been found to trans
NIT mosaic, nor does the disease livi
over in the soil except in volunteel
tubers.

Did You Ever

White paper seen in dream, say

colored paper is an omen of treachery
at work against you There are others
of the oracles who say that white
paper in a dream means innocense
and leave the application of the orac-
ular utterance to the reader. These
same mystics see in a dream of writ
ing paper a warning of chinanery
working against the dreamer. The

per instead of writing paper.
Printed paper this second set o.
mystics considers to be significant o.

Decorated paper they consider to BIZ

mystics see in all sorts of paper simply
prophecy of tidings on the way to
you but are non-committal as to the
nature of those tidings. To dream Of
seeing printed paper is asserted by q
number of the oracles to mean briei
happiness. Wall paper in dream is
asserted by some of the mystic inter
prefers to be an omen of obstacles
which you will have to overcome in
order to achieye success.
To dream that you are tearing paper
off the wall is looked upon by most
mystics as significant of prosperity
some of them say great prosperity.

Shows Value of
Farm Woodland

To show the serious disadvantage
and economic loss to which large
numbers of farmers have been put
because they have not properly util
lied available woodlands, the Forest
Service, United States Department of
Agriculture, has compiled information
regarding conditions in number of
sections Of the country, of which the
following cases are typical:
Farmers in Rockbridge County, Va,
who have time on their own farms
have been little affected by high lum-
Der prices. and have been able to make
the necessary repairs and improve
ments, while their neighbors whose
home woodlands failed to afford the
needed supplies of timber have been
Obliged to cease or greatly curtail i'm
provements requiring much lumber
These farms are suffering from depre-
citation in value. In California, where
the agricultural prosperity has been
marked for the past three years. many
ranchers are now making only such re-
pairs and improvements as are abso-
lutely necessary This is owing to the
high prices, limited supply, and poor
quality of available lumber These
and many other instances are cited in
the report which the Forest Service
has prepared on the condition of the
forestry resources of the country in
response to a resolution passed by the
United States Senate.

When Does a
House Look Cool

Have you ever noticed in going into
your friends houses on a very hot
summer day how much cooler it seems
in one than in another And in a
great many cases if you should look
at the thermometer you should find
same in both houses. This is because
some women have a faculty for max
ing house look cool whether it is
or not. And when that is done half
the battle is won.
How do they do it? Well, in the
first place all the heavy stuffed fur
niture is covered, and not covered with
those deadly pale linen covers of a
decade ago, but with a cool Powered
cretonne, Bingham or plain green, blue
or pink chambray. No house could
possibly look even livable with the
faded covers that so many folks en-
shroud their chairs and sofas with in
cool and comfortable on hot day #
it is Uttered with bric-a-brac and
cushions. All such things are put
away in the house that looks cool
even on the hottest and most sultry of
days.
Summer curtaining
Another mistake that people make
in getting house ready for summer
is to take down all the curtains. This
is relic of the old days when everv
housewife felt that she must drape her
windows with heavy lace draperies

1t was no wonder one wanted to put
them away in summer. They were ex

One-Mu1e VS..
TWO-Mule Rigs

Cultivation cost is largely reduced
by using adequate power harnessed to
modern cultiNating machinery. Fig
ures compiled by the United States
Department of Agriculture in farm
management studies conducted upon
southern farms show that the two
mule team hitched to a two-mule i'm
plement saves time and money over
the usual one-mule outfit. In Texas.
where the farms are comparatively
large, the two or four mule hitch is
generally used, but the farmers in the
Southeastern States are inclined to de-
pend upon the single rig to do their
blowing, planting, and cultivating,
even where their acreage is large. In
preparing the land for cultivating
crops the southeastern farmer with
his one mule makes five trips across
his field to the Texas farmers one.
The Texas man cultivates both sides
of the row and the middle at single
trip, but one-mule hitch must make
two or three trips to accomplish as
much. Moreover, the single-mule far
mer uses twice as much man labor as
does the chap who drives team. In
some cases the one-mule farmers get
around this difficulty by exchanging
mule labor and working two-mule
teams.
An Alabama farm study furnishes
a dollar-and-cents accounting of the
two methods. when the rows were
laid out with the contour of the land
and cultivated only one way, the cost
of cultivation was $1.38 an acre and
the hoeing cost 70 cents an acre.
When the corn was check-rowed and
cultivated both ways, the cost of Gull
tivation was reduced to $1.10 an acre
and the hoeing cost was only 81 cents
an acre" Such treatment is only pos
sible with adequate machinery.

Rustic tree-posts, seven or eight feet
high, make decorative holders for
gourd vines or cyprus, and are often
mounted with bird sanctuaries by
those who wish to encourage the visits
of native birds. Clay bird baths are
also set on rustic posts with a frame
to hold them.
In one attractive garden there is a
rustic circular seat placed in the cen
ter of circular formal garden where
the four short paths meet. On top
of the center post the sun dial finds
a resting place, an objective excuse
for the paths.
The rustic crown is rather a new
decoration. The woodwork forms an
eight hoped arch, six feet high and
six feet across. Under it is a lily of
the valley bed at the apex is a pot
of feathery fern. A cyprus vine climbs
up each of the rustic hoops.
