SGod Potatoes Should
Be Treated for Disease
DISEASE INFECTED SEED sHoUL {
BE SORTED AND HEATED
BEFORE PLANTING

Wisconsin farmers may reduce
their potato acreage this spring.
But whether or not they plant the
iame or a smaller acreage the growers
do not want to have their acre yields
cut by planting diseased tubers. They
have found that a simple seed treat
ment will help to insure better mar
ketable crop of seed and table stock.
Growers of this and other counties
have found by costly experience, that
whether prices are high or low, dis
cases injure the tubers and cause
heavy loss.
3 According to the states specialists
IN potato production the potato dis
scab, blackleg and black scurf
i've from season to season on the
seed tubers. BY careful investigation
they have found that potato seed
treatment kills the germs of these dis
eases on the seed.
These members of the staff of the
Wisconsin College Of Agriculture state
that corrosive sublimate is more eff
fective than formaldehyde in seed pc
cato treatment. They are urging the
growers of the county to treat with
corrosive sublimate and to take Ger
saln precautions to insure the best re-
suits.
Treat seed uncut, while dormant if
possible, and at least ter days or
two weeks before planting, their lat
est announcement advises. In all cases
sort and reject very scabby or rough
tubers. Dry tubers Immediately after
poor, rinse tubers in clean water when
removed from solution. Piling up wet
tubers leads to injury. DO not expose
tubers to hot sun, as black heart will
be produced.
Use four ounce corrosive subli-
mate powder or crystals to every 80
gallons water. Dissolve in about gal
lon Of hot water in glass jars or stone
crooks before dilution. This makes a

STUDENTS CONTEST

The students Of EAGLE RIVER
HIGH School have chosen a business

week This course has been conducted
through more than 5000 schools and
has the endorsement of some of the
country's leading educators and fore
most business men.

followed this with a little two-act play
''Iiow Not to Sell" and "How to Sell
Some very worthwhile instruction in
salesmanship was gained, which is to
be followed UP by the students in their

The school is divided into two
teams, the JIGGs with HAROLD

even in the open air. There is an ever
present danger to operators of automo-
biles more particularly when closeted
with their machines.
The attention Of the New York
board of health has been called to the
danger that exists from carbon monox-
ide gas, particularly to those who sit
on low benches along pleasure drives.
Examination by blood tests of pleasure

automobiles are responsible for their
condition This may appear fshy, but
is nevertheless reality.
The danger is materially increased
when the winter months naturally
bring persons in close contact with the
fumes while automobile engines are
started in tightly closed garages, too
often the result of carelessness on the
part of those who have not been in
structed in the peril Of such proceed

The general public may be ignor-
ant of the fact that, according to prom
inent medical authorities, the contin-
ued breathing of even extremely weak
mixtures of carbon monoxide and air
may cause injury to the kidneys, heart,
brain and nerves. Automobile manu-
facturers are fully aware of this dam
ger. It has been stated that the vari-
GUS organs Of the body can be seriously

WINTER DANGERS
IN DRIVING CAR
Careful Driver win First See That
His Brakes Are Properly
Adjusted by an Expert.
TIRES SHOULD Be INSPECTED
Chain. Should Be Used on Rear
Wheels at All Times When
Streets Are Wet or Icy-Wind-
shield Clear of Moisture.

Snow, sleet, ice, slush and mud pre-
sent constant danger to the motor
list during the winter. Extreme care
should be taken when operating in
this kind of weather to see that minor
points are observed or bad col
lision will result.
The careful owner will first look
to his brakes and see that they are
adjusted by an expert so that they
will not grab uneyenly.
The worst thing that could happen
to an owner is probably the driving
of a car during the months when the
streets are icy with improperly adj
justed brakes.
Peril of Skidding.
Brakes in this condition mean tnat
when they are applied suddenly, or
even slowly but firmly, one wheel
will be slowed down more than the
other, and the result is positive
side slip or skid, which may end in
the death of some one, the wrecking
of a car or injury to another machine
passing or parked at this spot.
The front tires should also be in
spected, and care should be taken to
see that they have a tread on them,
as these rubber grooves give GER
tain amount of traction necessary for
steering.
It is preferable to use chains on
all four wheels, but when 1t is found
that only two chains are available do
not, under any pretext, or on the ad-
vice of any friend, put one on front
wheel and another on the opposite
side, rear. This will result only in
the wearing Of the rear tire on the
side where there is no chain, and
will not in the least prevent skidding
In the same degree that chains on the

Improper vision is also the source
Of disastrous accidents. A wind

are inexpensive, and can be bought at

Windshield Coating Precautions
Another excellent precaution to
take is the coating of the windshield
to prevent sleet and snow sticking
and obscuring the view of the driver.
A solution of one ounce of water,
two ounces of glycerin, one-eighth

ISOLATION

The doctrine of isolation is
being preached by politicians,
bus not by statesmen. They
misinterpret and give a wrong
construction to the utterances
of Mr. Washington, in which
he advised that America in her
inception avoid entangling her.
self with foreign alliances.
The reason Washington gave
that advice was that America
was coming out of England,
breaking away from the mother
country, and could not afford
to be involved in European al
lianees with other countries and
thus incur more of the mother 8
prejudice and anger.
It is absurd to preach such q
doctrine today. We are the
superior power in tie world.
We are in the world. We are a
part of the world And we
must pay our obligations, dis
charge our duties, and take our
place by the side of the other
members that make up the great
world governments.
For us to be Pharisaical and to
go by on the other side is to re-
eeive the contempt of the world.
The world is pleading, the world
is hungry, the world needs us.
America is responsible for the
worlds condition, which has
been produced during the last
two or three years. Had Amer
