cite m beginning Its work of enc0uS
aging the formation of boys COW clubs.
There are many calf clubs. Banks
have done a great deal toward encour-
aging boys to own calves. The plan,
ordinarily, is to lend a boy money to
buy a calf, which he keeps for a
year, then sells, and repays the bank.
The dairy specialists believe that there
should be COW clubs, also-and there
are few already. A boy can borrow
money to buy heifer about ready to
freshen, and make her pay for herself
in from one to two years, provided, of
course, that there Is an available mar.
ket for his milk or cream.
One of the objects sought of course,
Is to interest the boy in cows and in
dairying. but the dairy specialists be-
lleve that they see way to use the
COW for deepening the boys interest
in other things. They propose, wher-
ever 1t can be done, that the COW be-
come the basis Of the boys arithmetic
at school.
For the average boy, 1t is pointed
out, arithmetic is not related to life.

Not every boy, Of course, is in posi-
ton to do thing like that. The big
gest limiting factor, it is realized, is
the schoolteacher. There are great
many teachers of rural schools who
could not teach dairy arithmetic; and
there are great many others who
could teach 1t if they had time, but arc
50 busy that they could not give it the
necessary attention. But, all over the
country, there are neighborhoods
where the scheme would work, and
in practically every neighborhood there
are some boys who could just as well
manage cow as grow calf for year
and then sell it.
The department does not expect that
the thing will become general all at
once, but suggests it as a matter to be
thought over by boys, parents, teach.
ers, progressive bankers, and others.
And the thinking along this line need
not be confined to boys. either. There
are probably nearly as many girls as
there are boys who could very we'll I'M

where the percentage of bad plants
is small, and 1t is not advisable
where the fall stage of 'black-leg' is
evident. This method must be fol-
lowed 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 carefully ex-
aiming the plants select those that
are desirable and have a clean bill

were run out 'multipliers'-big
plants with fine purple blooms but
with strings of tubers the size of

FIELD EXPERTS
SEED WARNING
Idaho Potato Growers
Must Select Tubers
Now

BO1SE.-In statement urging
that potato growers of Idaho "look
out for seed potatoes now" E. r
Bennett, field horticultural Of the
University Of Idaho extension divi-
sion, says that 1000 cars 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 well known truth
has been brought forcibly to my
mind again and again in the past
month while looking over some hun
dreds of fields of growing potatoes
that we have just seen in a trip
over the potato growing counties of
Idaho.
I'VE 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.
1.-TWO years ago we found 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 num-
Der of fields of seed potatoes be-
cause of the presence Of 'black-leg.'
Last fall we saw a fine field of DO
tatoes-fine except that there were
here and there over the field plants
that had stems black and decayed
just above the ground. Some of the
tubers from these plants decayed.
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 per.
centage of plants in everyone OF
these fields that have we'll developed
cases of 'black-leg.'
"Rhizoctonia and fusarium are
both also common. The rhizoctonia
and to lesser extent the fusarium
are always with us, but we must not
encourage either of them by planting
seed known to be infected with them.
We also have several other insidious
and elusive, though none the less
dangerous diseases, showing up here
and there in our fields. The most
common Of these is the calico, caus-
ing the plants to have white patches
on their leaves. 1t is not fatal, but
it does reduce the yield of the tu-
bers of that plant-and we don't
want it. We find in many fields,
especially of the Idaho Rural varie-
ty, many plants with small, weak
stems. The lower leaves get arus-
ty appearance and fall off. The
plant continues sickly all season and
makes less than half yield The
disease comes back the next year
in greater numbers. We don't want
it.
among the Gems this year we
find in many fields a great percent
age of weak, dwarfed plants. Many
growers attribute this to dry wealth
er at planting time. They are wrong.
These plants, traced back to the
seed, show many tubers that in
stead of sending out normal sprouts
developed only weak, spind1y sprouts
the size of darning needle. This
is the 'spindly sprout' disease. We
don't want 1t.
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 discard the whole lot and get
seed elsewhere, though we may not
help matters much, as the other fell
lows seed may be equally bad. Sec
ond, we can dig out and destroy all
the plants in the field that are weak
or diseased. This is feasible only
