SELECT SEED WITH CARE

Sweet potato growers are agalf
warned of the necessity of care
fully selecting and disinfecting
their seed before bedding. A
number of diseases, such as black
rot, which cause serious losses to
sweet potatoes, both in the field
and in storage, are becoming bad
ly scattered and it behOOves the
grower to exercise every available
measure in combating and con-
trolling these diseases, say special
lists in Extension Division, LouiSi-
ana State University. One grow
er lost an entire field of eight
acres, this past season, through
failure to exercise precautionary
measures.
The United States Department
of Agriculture advises the follow
ing sanitation measures: % The
Careful Selection and Disinfec-
ton of the Seed Potatoes, (2) Care
in the Preparation of the Hot Bed.
and (3) Crop Rotation.
Seed Selection and Distinction.
Before the potatoes are bedded
they should be carefully picked
over and any with black rot spots
and all badly wounded potatoes
thrown out. The sound, healthy |
potatoes should then be disinfec
ted by immersing for ten minutes
in a solution made by dissOlving |
one ounce Of mercuric chloride |
crystals in 8 gallons of water.
(Use only wooden receptacles.) |
If large quantity of potatoes are
to be treated. about so gallons of
solution should be made up. After
treating 10 bushels in 80 gallons,
one-half ounce more Of the mer-
curic chloride crystals should be
added and the water brought up
to so gallons. Mercuric chloride
will dissolve readily in hot water.
The potatoes should be treated
just before bedding. Rinsing in
water after treatment is not neceS-
sary.
If mercuric chloride cannot be
obtained or if for other reasons it
is not advisable to use it, the po-
tatoes may be disinfected by i'm
mersing for 5 minutes in solu-
ton of formaldedyde CONNER
cial 40 per cent? made by dilut-
ing one quart,of the formaldehyde
with so gallons Of water. This So
luton can be used repeatedly with
out losing strength. The potatoes
need not be rinsed but should be
bcdded soon after treatment.
They may be left in sacks, crates
or any convenient receptacle dur
ing the treatment.
Preparation of Hot Bed.
If the old hot bed is to be used,
the dirt should be carted away
and replaced by new soil or sand
from the woods or elsewhere
where sweet potatoes have never
Teen grown. The framework
should be disinfected by spraying
with a solution of formaldehyde
of the strength recommended for
the treatment of the potatoes. All
decayed sweet potatoes and rub
bish likely to harbor the disease
germs should be raked up from
around the bed and carted off or,
preferably, burned. Cover the
potatoes with soil or sand from
the same source as that used in
up the hote bed. If ma
nue. is used as source of heat,
be sure that it has not been in
fected with the disease germs by
throwing rotted sweet potatoes on

it. If the bed is near the barn
yard, fence it ~ or cover it with
chicken wire to keep chickens
dogs, ETC., from running over it
since they may carry the disease
germs in on their feet.
Crop Rotation.
By carefully following out the
above directions, slips, free of
diseases may be grown, but they
may still become diseased if they
are planted on ground where dis
eased sweet potatoes were raised
the previous year. 1t is therefore
necessary to plant the slips on new
ground or on ground where sweet
potatoes have not been grown for
several years.

SINGING GIRLS
FIRST WEAVERS
With Their Mistress Help They Learn
to PLY the Loom for Silk
Manufacturing in
Ancient Days.

In a mulberry garden by the Rive
iHwang-ho, some 2,640 years before
the coming of Christ, Japanese lady
sat in the shade with her singing
girls and taught them to manipulate
the loom which she had invented end
by which it was possible to unra, eli
slowly the cocoons of the 81 pupa irto
fabrics soft as petals.
This was the beginning of the silk
industry that today is the leade. in
Japan, says Edward H. Smith in the
Saturday Evening Post. The cele-
brated wife of the famous yellow en-
peror, Hwang-ti, could not foresee the
Joy and the suffering that her little
invention would be responsible for in
the centuries to come; she had no
vision of the epic of industry, adven-
ture and crime that was to be written
about the frail weaves of her singing
girls.
Silk, weighed opposite to gold in the
DAYS of Justinian, today is sought as
much by thieves as gold itself. Silk
robbing wears the glamor of his
tory as long and bloody and various
as that of gold itself. Roman en-

Description of Spots Near keosauqua
and Pennington, AS Told in Latest
Annals of
Iowa.

BONAPARTE, Jly 24.-The last is
| sue of the Annals of Iowa, published
by the historical society, contained til ;
following description of the state
parks, located near Keosauqua and
Pennington: The one near Keosau-
qua extends from that town along the
south bank of the Des Moines river
in the horseshoe bend, about two
miles up stream, then south from the
stream to include about 1,400 acres
natural wild life sanctuary and set
apart to the unmodified and undis-
turbed use of the natural species of
wild animal and plant life. 1t is
rough, wooded and brushy; the high
hills affording rarest of vistas up,
down and across the stream and can
Ivassed with prehistoric mounds. The
rugged grouse opened in the summer
of 1919, with quail most abundant
1t is winter resort and summer
breeding place of the cardinal. 1t
has many dens of fox, skunk, mink,
raccoon, opossum and grounding. The
land owners for mile in all direc-
itions from the state park voluntarily
agree to assist the state in its pro-
lection of wild life. rather than lands
of the state so that there will be a
protected and undisturbed hiding
place of about 1000 acres "Ely's
Ford" historic river crossing of
pre-railroad days, famous then and
ever since as camping site for hunt
ing. fishing, bathing and for winter
sports. This large tract of land was
acquired by purchase at an average of
less than fifty dollars an acre, to
which over seventy-six hundred dol
lars was contributed by citizens of
Keosauqua and vicinity.
The other state park, situated near
Pennington, isone-half mile south Of
Pennington near the Des Moines riv-
er and state roads. There is unique
BIOLOGY, wonderful scenery and the

and summer and muskrats and other

is probably the largest list OF resi-
dences in any city of Keokuk's size
in Iowa, Illinois, or Missouri, due to
the fact that after the power plant
builders went away Keokuk had more

to this condition, too, is the fact that
Keokuk people realize that this is the
time to buy and to sell, and many de-
sire to sell a small home and buy a
larger or sell a large home and buy
a smaller one, and my list of excellent
opportunities for buyers includes many
residences ranging in size from four
