in some of these fields Joseph II. Bodwell.
county agent, claims that this is due to
potato leaf roll disease, a vine disease
spread from infected to healthy plants by
plant lice. Experts agree that this dis
ease is usually the cause of net necrosis
and spindling sprout in potatoes. Grow
ers should be sure, says Mr.. Bodwell,
that the curled leaves are rigid, for SINH
larly ourled leaves often come from wilt
disease, wherein the leaves are pliable, not
stiff.
Local growers are starting control
measures by pulling out all spindling or
affected plants. Lice, the carriers of
this infection, may be killed by adding
oue-half pint of nicotine sulphate to 30
gallons of bordeaux mixture, and using
noz2lcs or sprayers to reach both under
and upper sides of the foliage, according
to the county agent.

The figures for the present year

pected that they will be higher than
those of last year The central fact
OF an exasperating situation for the
British taxpayer is that:
whereas, In pre-war days the
state took one-tenth of the annual
wealth production in taxes, today
1t takes one-third.
Whereas, In former years it was
recognized that taxes should be
1ghtened as trade was depressed.
the present tendency is to add
heavier burdens with each decline
in productivity.
No One Escapes.
Before the war income tax rang
ed around ninepence to a shilling
on the pound, and the exemption
figure was SO high that only com
paratively prosperous persons paid.

the pound and not even the work
