study hall was model of quietness
and order and as the teacher in charge
glanced over the heads Of the students
she silently congratulated herself on
obtaining a position among such un-
usual students. Everyone was busily
at work, so she returned to the pile
of test papers before her.
The faint notes of bird broke the
silence. Instantly every head in the
hall was raised. A sudden change
quickly swept through the hall. Books
were thrust aside, a few of the older
boys started to whistle in an under
tone. an indolent sleepy air seemed to
settle on every student.
The teacher sensed the change and
lifted her head. A flash of blue out
side the window had caught her eye,
but it was the change in the class that
occupied her mind. In vain she tried
to fathom the new feelini that in less
than a minute, had changed the entire
attitude of the students. But she has
not seen what all eyes in the study hall
had seen. the first bluebird that
heralded spring.

POTATO DISEASES AND
DIS-INFECTI0N

Through cooperation between the
Lincoln County Farm Bureau and the
Schneider Drug Co. and Sinclair's
Pharmacy, the farmers of the county
will be able to buy their Corrosive
Sublimate for potato disinfection at
S1.25 per pound. These stores have
kindly agreed to sell this product at
wholesale prices plus the freight
charges. The farmers on the Rich
field tract wanting this Corrosive
Sublimate should write the County
Agent, who will leave it at the Barnes
Drug store.
Formaldehyde is a good disinfectant
but it will not kill BLACK SCURF.
CRhizoctonia, which can be found as
brown, scurfy dirt-like bodies on the
potato especially the Melted Gems.
This disease 4 uses poor stands as this
fungus growth fresuently causes the
growing tips to rot off in the ground
In lighter attacks it girdles the sprouts
and leads to cankered stems. These
plants develop large tops and a large
number of small misshaped tubers.
| BLACKLEG: This disease is marked
I by the upward rolling and yellowing
of the young or half grown plants and
! by a black. shrivelled condition of one
0
ground. 1t is the cause of the black
rot of the tuber. These rotted tubers
contaminate the other tubers and all
| blackleg germs exposed on healthy po-
tatoes will be killed by dipping.
/ FUSARIUM WILT: A brown or black
ldiscoIoration of the stem end of the
tuber when cut across. one-fourth to
one-half inch deep, should condemn
! the tuber for planting. Several dis
eases infect the stem this way but the
most serious is the Wilt. This fungus
enters the plant through the small
roots and works upwards in the water
bundle, which becomes filled and wilt
and death of the plant results. Pre-
vented only by planting clean seed
stock and dipping for contamination
from diseased tubers.
SCAB: This is caused by bacterial
organizm which can live over in the
soil on crop rotation and seed treat
ment.

SEED POTATOES

l. Sort the seed tubers to remove all
scabby. rotted and bruised potatoes.
>. Sort out potatoes true to type and
free of disease as possible for seed
plot for next years seed.
3. The potatoes should be dipped at
least week before planting so they
may recover from the shock of dip
ping.
I. Dissolve four ounces Of Corrosive
Sublimate "a level Tablespoonful is
near enough to an ounce( in a little
hot water in a glass or earthen dish
s. Pour this solution into 80 gals. OF
water in wooden or eathen vessel.
Or Soak the uncut tubers one and a
half hours.
T. This is deadly poison so pick out all
doubtful potatoes before dipping. It
will not hurt the hands.
S. As it looses its stength, the soiu-
ton should be completely renewed
after three dippings or else by adding
one half ounce of the poison dissolved
for every 300 lbs dipped. A new solu-
ton should be made up after adding
the one-half ounce three times. II a
barrel is used and the potatoes are
dipped in the original sack, first find
out how much water it takes to cover
rosive TO the water proportionately,
say about ounces to Is gallons. The
potatoes may be treated loose in a bar

titles his saves poison as the fibre
in the sack also takes up the poison.
9. After treating they should be spread
out TO dry.
TO- Wetting and covering the potatoes
II to IA hours will make the treatment
more effective.
IL. In order to further control the stem
rot and fusariurn wilt a slice is first
taken off the stem end to depth or
one fourth to one-half inch while cut
ting and any potatoes showing flesh
discoloration should be discarded. a
further precaution for especially in
growing potatoes for seed is to have
extra knives for cutting and when 8
potatoe Is cut showing discoloracon,
to drop the knife blade into q jar OF
formaldehyde solution for time and
use another knife in it's place so as
not to carry the disease TO a helthy
potatoe.
T. Those wishing to grow seed stock
should send in their respective requests
to the county agent for field inspection
this summer. The Lincoln Seed Grow
ers Assn. hopes to be able 70 ship out
some certified seed this year.
13. The average distance apart IN a
row for planting potatoes is about II
inches.
IA. Hill selection this summer and fall
from healthy growing plants and for
good type tubers Is the best way TO
improve the seed stock.

THE FACULTY PLAY

A very interesting thirty minute
program was given between shows last
Thursday night. The principal char
acters were chosen from the faculty.
while some OF the High School girls
entertained the audience between the
acts.

with the following members OF the
faculty taking part.
Mr.. Werrel; the unwelcome father.
Miss Keller and Mr.. Gibson; newly
weds breaking into society.
Mfr. Kirkpatrick; the butler.
brief snopsis of the play is as fol-
lows:
The father arrived on the same night
that the newlyweds were endeavoring
to break into society. Because of his
eccentricity in dress and manner. no
was very unwelcome on this particulaI
night. so the newlyweds tried to g.
rid of him.
Then 1t was made known that the
young husband was short a thousand
dollars at his club and because OF tenn
porary financial embarrassment was
unable to pay 1t.
In the meanwhile father finds that
he is not wanted and so rather patheti-
cally decides to return to Yarmouth"
Before leaving he presents Richard.
the husband with a large amount Of
money and this completely meits the
uewlyweds. They beg him to stay
longer; light his corn-cob pipe; and al.
together lavish so many attentions up
in him that he decides to stay awhile
longer. and the play ends.
An appropriate ending was provided
in the form OF barn dance, all the
family and several others taking part,
including Mr.. Todd. Excellent music
was rendered by Mr.. Werrel and Will
ton Fitzpatrick. to the huge delight of
the couples. who were dressed accord
ing to the customs OF 1850 and danced
the up-to-d date dances Of that year.
