Ford cars and some people are
very similar in one respect.
50 often you can't see their
lights.
: There will be a special run on
note books this week. Everybody
is getting ready to set down New
Years resolutions.
Some folks can keep whisky,
but few can keep good resolutions
longer than It takes to find out
they are troublesome.
Why not each one make a reso-
luton to, boost Warrington this
coming year?
Deacon slapapple might even
decide to lay away his hammer
for a while.
Wouldn't It be fine, too, II tho
Assembly would resolute to quit
playing football?
Nobody expects the impossible.
though.
Wouldn't 1t be a good idea to
do Christmas shopping between
December rs and January 1?
Look at the big reduction sales
put on during that week.
One thing nobody ever puts a
reduction on, though, is meat.
Some hogs would be proud OF
themselves If they could know the
price they bring.

AGRICULTURAL NOTES
BY Dan Shafer. County Agent
Late Blight Of Potatoes Reported.

A few cases Of late blight have been
reported in Iron county. AS far as
the spread Of the disease is concern
ed, the danger is past, for the heavy
frost lew nights ago put an end 10
that. But the real danger now lies
in the tubers, and extra precaution
must be taken if we are TO save our
crop. II you put your potatoes in the
so called pits" in the field, above
all things do not cover the potatoes
with the tops taken from the field,
but use straw or marsh hay. If the
potatoes are covered with tops that
contain the blight germs. the sweat
ing OF the potatoes in the pile will
cause moisture condensation on the
tops and this moisture will drip back
on the potatoes and will carry with it
the germs of late blight and rot. In
"A short time the potatoes will start
to rot and their quality will be ruined
and at the same time great loss will
be taken, both in tubers and in labor.
Owing to the warm weather only a
small quantity of ground should be
covered over the pits and care should
be taken that the pit has sufficient
ventilation ut the top.
If you are planning on storing
your crop in your cellar. be sure that
good clean stock, free from rot, is put
in. Also look after the ventilation
Of your cellar, if you don't you'll be
sorting over your potatoes this winter.
If we are to take out good quality
of potatoes next spring, whether Tor
seed or for eating purposes, we must
exercise extreme care this fall in
handling our potato crop.
