SURPRISE CONTESTS IMPROVE
 QUALITY OF MILK DELIVERED

Surprise milk oonteSts-contests In which the milk sold by various dealers in city IS compared by taking samples occasionally without warning = have been very effective in improving the milk surply of many cities. Contests of this kind carried out with the assist ance of the United States Department of Agriculture have shown remarkable results in a number of western cities. The bacterial counts and the total milk scores for the cities were made up from the results of tests of samples from each of the delivery systems.
 In Long Beach Calif, the average bacterial count in the first contest was 11s,2SS; in the last contest it was down to 11,S23. In the first the average score of the milk sold there was 71.5s and in the last 1t was up to so.67. The milk

PoATATo CROP SUFFERS
 FROM THE BLIGHT

Late potato crops in some places they have been seriously damaged by late blight, and the crop this year will be poor on lands having an excess of mois- ture. Potatoes on high land or lands which drained quickly after the excessive rains throughout the year will return a fair or average crop.
 Most of the potato vines in certain lo- calities have succumbed to late blight ac- cording to one county agent. 'only where potatoes have been sprayed seven or more times. or late planted or planted under special conditions so that the air drainage was just right to prevent the spread of blight have potatoes stayed green this year.
 There will be a fair crop this year on high or average land. Crops will be very poor where the water has stood for any length of time after rainstorms. so that the roots of potatoes were drowned out.
 Reports from Aroostook County. Maine. indicate that the potato crop in that sec tion will be disappointing this year. Weather conditions have been adverse and diseases have made big inroads 7n ] the crop. Early potatoes are plentiful and prices are low. but many growers look for a decided advance in prices after the fall crop comes In.

CAPT. QUARRY OVERBoARD
 AT BLOCK ISLAND DOCK

Capt. Edward Quarry of the steamer Nelseco II added an interesting feature to the trip to Block Island Sunday which the passengers enjoyed and the captain did not mind, as he is a good swimmer. When making the landing at the island, the jolt as the boat hit the dock caused the captain to lose his bal ance as he stoo dnear the edge on the hurricane deck, sending him overheard in a neat dive. He came to the sur face in a minute and struck out for the dock to which he was hauled in safety and after getting dry clothing was ready to resume his duties again.
