CERTIFIED POTATO SEED
Disease-Free Stock the Only Safe
Kind to Plant.

Clemson College, Sept. 17.-What
kind of Irish potato seed have you
been planting, and what kind are
you going to plant next spring? asks
DR.. C. A. Ludwig, associate plant
pathologist, who says that it is not
too early now to consider this ques.
tin in connection with next springs
planting. -.
The Irish potato is subject to scab,
black scurf, silver scurf, wart, late
blight, rosette,, leaf roll, curly
dwarf, wilt, root knot, black leg, and
a good many other diseases, and
every one Of these can be introduced
into a new locality on the seed.
Moreover, some Of them once intro
duced, will remain with the farmer
as long as he stays on the farm and
will then remain with his successor.
In spite Of this, much disease-in-
tested northern grown seed potato
stock is being planted in South Caro-
lima every year. If possible, growers
should combine and hire a potato
disease specialists to visit the fields
in the north from which they expect
to secure seed. If this is, impossible
they should insist that their dealers
furnish them with certified" seed.
Certified seed has been inspected by
representatives of the United States
Department of Agriculture or a
state experiment station and has met
certain high requirements as to free
dom from disease and trueness to
type. It is therefore the best seed to
be found on the general market.
1t is not too early now to acquaint
dealers with the quality of seed that
is required next spring. Many deal
ers may not know where to get Ger
titled seed, but if certified seed be
stipulated now, dealers will have
time to investigate and place their
orders. If the matter is put off until
planting time, it will be too late for
them to obtain the better stock.
Dealers who are unable to locate any
sources of certified stock should see
the county agent or write the botany
division at Clemson College.

LIST OF TOPICS
Subjects to Be Discussed Announced
To Powers.

Washington, Sept. 15.-The Amer
lean government has sent to the gov
ernments of all powers invited to
participate in the conference on the
limitation of ornaments and Far
Eastern questions a list of the topics
suggested for discussion.
Officials of the state department
refused today to comment on the ma
ture of the suggested program, but
it was understood that the offered
list of subjects was nothing more
than tentative and calculated to
serve merely for the basis of agree
ment.
The list of topics which was sent
to the invited nations by Secretary
Hughes is understood, however, to
be the first concrete suggestion as to
the conference program submitted
to all the prospective participants. 1t
is not expected that immediate re-
| sponses will be received since it is
assumed that careful consideration
will be given the proposed program
an that an agreement will not be
reached until there has occurred a
full interchange Of opinion regarding
such objections as may be made.
The only indication of the nature
of the subjects suggested was that
contained in Toxic dispatch which
declared that in addition to the OBJ
vious subjects Of army and navy re-
strictions, the United States commu-
nication proposed discussion of the
open door in China, respect for the
sovereignty of other nations terri
tory, the status of Manchuria and the
Chinese eastern railway spheres of
influence. and the general subject of
mandates.
Official comment on the Toxic
dispatch was withheld, but there
was an intimation that the field of
discussion might be much broader.

GOLDENRoD

Over all the countryside,
From Michigan to Maine,
Once there were campfres
On hill and plain.
Once there were smoke-wreaths
Where fields lie now,
And flame in the forests
That knew no plow.
The red men built them;
. Still there spills ..,
The Autumn wrath of wood-smok'
Upon blue hills,
, And white men, strong men,
Laid them to rest
By fires in the wilderness
From east to west.
,Campfres, campfres,
From Maine to Oregon,
The ash of their burning
Is scattered and gone.
But where famed a campfire
And brave men trod,
Blooms in remembrance
The goldenrod.
