The newest complaint Of the Hill
toppers is sore hands. Other colleges
hereabouts say the weather is at
fault for the ailing digits. Coach
John O'Reilly says it is a new one
on him but he supposes that the cold
weather has had much to do with the
epidemic.

plain Of sore hands," says John.
"The weather has been cold and the
wind on the Hilltop goes right
through you. But we haven't miss
ed a day since we started out some
time ago and the team, aside from
any number of sore hands, Is in
pretty good shape"
Georgetown has lost but three
players from last season. Bill
Dudack, rightfielder, is handling
athletics out I'm Tulsa, Okla; Del
BissOnette Is getting trial with
the Cleveland Indians. Jimmy
Sullivan, the Duke of Rochester.
Is sOmewher i'm New England.
With the squad at Norfolk today
are Capt. Bill Kenyon, Smell and
Cunningham, catchers; Reynolds,
Mccarthy and Jenkins, pitchers, and
Florence and Adams, substitutes.
Sheedy is back at first base.
Welsh is holding down second with
Flavin at third and j. r. Murphy at
shortstop. In the outfield will be
found Jimmy Murphy, John Walsh
and General" Sheridan.
With the exception of Dudack
and Jimmy Sullivan this is the same
team that was accorded inter-
collegiate championship baseball
honors by number of critics last
season.
The addition of Schmidt as a
pitcher and the fact that Reynolds
and Hyman are hold-over veteran
pitchers will mean much to the
Hilltoppers again this season. see
ing that Bill Kenyon is supporting
the windpad behind the plate.
There are number of other
players who are expected to make
the veterans sit up and take notice,
according to reports, and from lndl'
cations there will be plenty OF ac-
ton on the part of the veterans in
the effort to hold on to the present
assignments.

meet scheduled with Bill Martins
Penn State track team will be
showed ahead to April ii. The

rs per schedule.
O'Reilly has had his track squad
out of doors for the past two weeks
doing little more than jogging. AS
soon as the weather breaks the
team will start intensive work for
the Penn State meet and Will have
assignments thereafter on each
Saturday until the Intercollegiate
are held.
The Hilltoppers with the strongest
track squad in years expect to make
q great record in all meets this
spring. With so many veterans on
hand and with newcomers who have
already made fine records indoors
this season, the Georgetown colors
should be carried out to the front in
practically every start this yea
1t would not be surprising to see
the Georgetown men create several
new South Atlantic records this
spring in the South Atlantic meet in

The seaport cities have secured the

If the interior will get together we
shall have large government approp-

be no determinations tub

z. II. Ha State
RltraI Districts

Lansing, April 27.-In spite of
everything that has been said and
written TO the contrary and in spite
IF numerous object lessons in every
community, there is till a widespread
notion that tuberculosis is a disease
Of the city and that the rural dis
trict is comparatively immune. Miss
Elsie Horr, public health nurse of
Tuscola county, made an investiga-
ton in her county, nearly all Of the
population Of which lives in rural
districts and villages, and she found
that one per cent Of the population
Of that county was actively tubercu-
lous, which means that that county
alone has some 800 active cases.
And this is not at all out Of the
ordinary, according to the Michigan
tuberculosis Association. Investiga-
tions made in other counties would
disclose the fast that the proportion
is probably as high elsewhere. And
the rural districts Of the state con-
tribute large share to the total of
cases. The country is not anymore
free from tuberculosis than is the
city, and the supposed greater health
fulness of country life is more than
conteraeted by the fact that the adj
verage rural district has far less
tuberculosis fighting equipment than
the average city.
One of the most practical steps
that any rural county can take to cut
down the death rate from tuberculo-
sis, according to the state association,
is to appoint county health nurse.
Such nurse does much to prevent
the disease in children before it has
had chance to fasten upon them,
and it is one way in which the coun-
try can keep step with the city in
fighting the white plague.

Treatment of
Seed Potatoes

Every farmer plants a few po-
tatoes each year. Some times he
has a good yield and is able to put
a few bushels on the market while
often he has only enough for his
home use. In either case good
clean potatoes free from disease are
more valuable than scabby and sour
fed tubers. Treat your seed po-
tatoes this year and produce only A
No. l spuds.
/. Sort the seed tubers to remove
all scabby rotted and bruised pota-
toes.
2. Treat seed before cutting
3. Cut by hand.
The first cut should take off p in.
slice from the but end. Reject this
Do not plant any tuber showing
flesh discolorations.
4. Plant in good soil. Use a
MANFRED clover or alfalfa sod. Do
not follow potatoes with potatoes.
3. Cultivate frequently while po-
tatoes are young: sparing later.
6. Spray for bugs" and blight.
Get poison and blue vitroil early.
Z. Ask your county agent about
developing a seed plot

]. Dissolve four ounces Of the
crystals in little hot water in a
glass or earthen dish
2. Pour this solution into 80 gal
ions of water in a barrel.
3. Soak uncut potatoes 80 minu-
ties. 1t is dangerous to soak seed
tubers longer than p to 2 hours.
The solution gets weaker with use.
Add one ounce Of crystals (dissol-
ved) after each lot of tubers is dip
