P0TATODlSEASE
Will CUT YIELD
1000 Acres Inspected BY
County Agent Morris
During Past Month

Serious disease sinMsnaany potato
fields throughout the. county, and the
likelihood Of q relative crop decrease
owe last years production are the
findings Of County Agent: d. B. Nor
rvs. who has been making a tour of
the country during the past few
weeks making personal inspection Of
which is the first Of the year. was
made with a view to certificAtion Of
seed In order to- determine just what
seed is free from disease.
MI. Morris reported today that he
found many fields badly infected with
two main types of potato disease.
Khizoctonia, sometimes known as the
little potato disease land blackleg.
saan c the LAT 'attsf.,eRd ,beth iks, believes
what it otherwise would have been
IN ONE fields. Rhizoctonia, a fungus
disease, which seems to have -four
ished during the damp weather con-
ditions Of June and July. has infect
ed some Of the fields as high as fifty
per cent, while occasional fields have
been infected with blackleg to the ex-
tent Of 40 per cent. Blackleg is a
bacterial disease.
Many Inspected.
Mr.. Morris inspected practically
one thousand acres of potatoes dur
Ing the past month and finds, the APP
pearance Of disease general through
out the county. Although the coun-
ty potato acreage has increased this
year to 1000, over 5000 acres of last
year, An increase Of practically 100
per cent. 1t, is the opinion of%sthe.
county agent that the potato crop will
be very little larger this year than
last year. due to- the disease stricken
areas. All of the potato fields in the
county, it is reported, show traces of
disease, although it can be said. that q
few fields are practically free.
In sections where the seed was
treated before planting, the potato
fields show q considerable improve
was done. Fields planted with seed
not treated r showing up badly, but
as some fields that were we'll taken
care of are infected, the prevalence
of disease can be attributed partially
to he wet growing season, tending to
develop the disease. Both treating
and selecting the seed, Mr.. Morris
said, will do much to prevent the
spread of the infections, ~rhizoctania
especially giving away before these
two precautions. Blackleg, it has been
found. a be controlled only by seed
selection ~ v
Farmers who have made Sapplca-
ton FOR certification of their seed,
have been requested to route out the
diseased plants before the mex field
inspection by the county agent which
will occur sometime during the lat
ter part of August. Following the
second field inspection, the digging or
bin inspection will take place, and
the final test will be given by Prof. H.
L., Bolley, state seed inspector Of
Fargo, who has the final word as to
potato certi1cation. Mr.. Morris made
It known that the inspection Of the
county agent to the fields did not
mean that the farmers would. neces-
sarily receive ce%rtifcation on their
seed.

At The Theatres
AT THE Cram

On nor than one occasion I have
heard a few folks say they did not
like Gloria Swanson. The fact of the
matter was they did not like the part
of the most acknowledgements we have
on the screen today. Her interpre-
tation in Her Husbands Trade
mark" which is being shown at the
Grand theater the first part Of this
week, Is excellent and one which
everybody will admire. She does not
everyday the part at all. She is simply
a beautiful and lovable wife, a SPLEEN
did type Of the American woman.
She is supported by a fine cast, the
story is clean and wholesome and has
a wonderful climax which apparently
pleased a big audience at the Grand
last night. Her Husbands Trade

Canadian Pacific Plans
$25, 600, 900 Extensions


MONTREAL, Jan. 12.-lt il expected
that the executives of the Canadian
Pacific Railway will give their approval
to the spending of $25,000000 on ex-
tensions and improvements to the road
within week or so. This will repre-
sent the 1922 construction budget Of
the company, full details of the work
to be announced later.
The company's general program for
the year is scheduled for confinement
to actual nccessaries pending an
nouncemout Of the new government
policy with respect to the railway stu
alton in general and in relation to en-
enlargement Of immigration in partc-
ular. The company has under way its
own colonization plan, which includes;
joint aid from the British government
and the Canadian Pacific Railway to
agricultural immigrants from the
United Kingdom. 1t is not thought
that these expenditures will have any
thing to do with the S25,o0o,00 loan
recently hoatcd in the United States,
the view being that this fund will be
used for expenditures in the United

Violating Regulations

Gustav NJ. Minton was expelled from
membership on the New York Stock Ex-
change, Seymour i. Cromwell, presi-
dent, announced yesterday from the

equitable principles Of trade, may be
suspended or expelled, as the said com
mittee may determine, unless some
other penalty is expressly provided for

mined that he was guilty of proceed
lngs inconsistent with just and equita-
Bile principles of trade" The transac-
tons out of which the charges arose

Silverware Prices Revised

Slight reductions arc seen in the new
price list for silverware just issued BY
several manufacturers. On certain
articles, no revisions have been made.
but the readjustments on the general
lines bring the average rate of de-
crease in prices to about per cent.
Although other manufacturers have not
yet announced their new prices, it was
intimated that similar reductions would
be forthcoming.
While it is yet too early to determine
the showing of the silverware trade in
the last year, dealers in the Maiden
Lane district declared that the Christ
mas business transcribed all other pre-
ceding years. The diminution of the
purchasing power Of the public was
seen in the large number Of sales in
medium priced goods. and the apathy
shown to more expensive silverware.
The opinion regarding the probable
showing Of business in the last wear.
compared with 1920, was epitomized by
one of the leading manufacturers, in
the statement: "In 1920, our export
business approximated over one million
dollars and in the last year, practically
nothing"
