DOES it pay to spray potatoes prop
erly? Just following the recent
foggy hot spell, the Farm Bureau
Office here received word from thirty
two pGtato-growers whose plants had
gone down. OF these, twenty-seven
had MOI sprayed at all, four had
sprayed with commercial mixture,
and one claimed to have properly
sprayed with Bordeaux. County
Agent Bridges says the potato crop in
this section has been hit hard by that
spell of hot, foggy weather, and by
the present drought. Plants are
whiting and the spuds not developing,
but plants that have been properly
sprayed are standing up better
against disease and weather than
others.

gorieai nature at the beginning
showing the struggle between the
forces of ignorance and light for the
possession of little soul, and grad
ually, as the tale unfolds, the light

to-day-beautiful learned and desir-
ing to learn stin more--is seen.

companion and instructor, Anne Sui
livan Macy, appear personally in the
