Northeastern states are frequently
caught by frost before the vines rlpen.
so should be dug just about the time
frost first strikes them. Potatoes
should be dug when the soil is reason
ably dry, so that it will not adhere to
them. A spadlng fork or a potato hook
is best for digging them and great care
should be taken to avoid spearing or
cutting them in digging. Only small
quantity should be turned out at once,
as they will become sunburaed If ex-
posed more than an hour or two.
Store potatoes i'll a cool, dry place
where they will get plenty of ventila-
ton and be in the dark. Potatoes must
not be allowed to freeze either before
they are dug or while in storage. A
good, cool, well-ventilated cellar or
storm cellar forms suitable storage
place for potatoes and under proper
conditions will keep through the win
ter and into the early summer. An
other method is to bury the potatoes
in a pit outdoors and cover them so
that frost cannot get to them.

THE Squirting HOSE.

In a free city hospital for children
we're many boys and girls. The hos
pital overlooked the city ostreets. 1t
was situated In very crowded part
Of the city and the streets below the
hospital were always crowded with
men and women and children and
cats!
Sometimes merry-go-round would
stand on the street before the hospital
and the children would listen TO the
gay tunes it played. They would
watch others riding the spirited
horses-and still others with not such
adventurous spirits would be sitting
in quiet chairs as they revolved around
to the music.
But oh, in the summer time 1t was
hot in the hospital. Lying in beds
md sitting in hospital wheeling chairs
seemed to them far hotter than play
ing would be- for 1t was hard to for.
get the heat when sitting or lying
still.
Now and again some Onv brought
ice cream to the hospital, and some
times children who lived just outside
the city, came in with wild flowers
which made the hospital wards,
seem far more summary. and even
less hot.
At night it was very hard 20 sleep.
1t almost seemed to the children as
though the heat had no Intention OF
letting anyone alone even then
And SO it went on when one eve
uing the matron came in for her usual
goodnight rounds. 1t was earlier
than usual. They hoped that she
would not be suggesting going to bed
any earlier. But that was not like
her. :

said, land I've brought every one OF
you a bathing suit. Even though we

She paused for a moment while ev-

right, of course, to "make-believe"
about many things, but not about
bathing suits when there was no wa

But she was talking some more.

Then they went out to the elevator,

courtyard below.
In moment or two the nice, good

When a plant disease or some other
crop pest destroys an important crop
throughout large area, 1t is easy to
see how dangerous these pests are
both to agriculture and to the 'coun-
try. The farmer whose crop Is de-
stroyed suffers through loss effhis

the wheat crop of the United States

But spectacular and widespread de-

Every season and in substantially ev-

take heavy toll on crop production.
Their existence without control con-
stltutes one of the chief hazards which
the farmer encounters, increasing his
cost Of production and ultimately the
price which consumers must pay.
1t has been difficult to determine

damage done by plant diseases. but
very careful estimates recently made
by the Psychologists Of the state ex

Of Agriculture indicate that In 1915
