Potato Varieties
Free From Wart
Tests Show That American
Species May Be Planted
in Infested Areas.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
II is now well established that po-
tato culture need nowhere be aban-
doned on account Of the prevalence of
potato-wart disease, so long as suit
able immune varieties are available,
according to the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture. Cooperative
tests conducted by the department
have shown that there are a number
of American varieties of potatoes
which are immune from the disease
and may safely be planted in infested
areas. The results of these tests, COW
ering a period of from one to four
years, are discussed in Department
Bulletin 1855 just published and now
ready for distribution.
Immune Varieties.
A few of the principal varieties
which have proved to be immune are
Early Eureka. Early Petoskey, First
Early, Cordon's Early Snowflake,
Flourball and Irish Cobbler, belonging
to the Cobbler group; Early Harvest.
Ehnola. Extra Early Sunlight, and
White Albino Of the Early Michigan
group; S%paulding Rose, of the Rose
group; Burbank, of the Burbank
group; Bountiful. Delaware, Gold
Coin, Green Mountain, Green Mountain
Junior, Idaho Rural, McGregor, Nc
Kinley, and Norcross of the Green
Mountain group, as well as a number
of others.
Quarantine Policy.
The use of wart-immune varieties of
potatoes was adopted as a quarantine
policy in 1920, the disease first having
made its appearance in this country
in 1918. AS a preliminary step in this
direction all owners of gardens and
fields actually infested with potato
wart were permitted to grow only
wart-immune varieties. The particular
variety selected for this purpose was
S%paulding Rose, which is a potato of
good commercial quality and in addi-
ton possesses such outstanding vari-
etal characteristics that the detection
of mixtures is comparatively easy dur
ing the whole season of summer in
spectiOn.
A survey to determine the geo.
graphical location and extent of the
disease was completed in September,
1922, and shows infestation in Penn
sylvania, West Virginia, and Mary
land.

UNPEOFFTABLE FARMING

81 American Wheat-groWers have had hard time
lately and deserve sympathy and any reasonable hep
but it does not follow that they themselves are alto
gether blarneIess or without means of self-help.
The Woodland Cat. Tfaiff, speaking Of local farm
ing conditions, says:
"Yolo county is one of7 tle-big grain producing
counties of California Grain is grown here, not be-
cause is the profitable crop to grow because it IS
the only crop to grow but because it was profitable 40
so years ago.
1T may be good thing for Yolo county that
crisis has in the grain industry. Every acre of
this land be irrigated and made to produce alfalfa
to be turned into milk butter and cheese, at much
greater profit to the land owners, and the grain crisis
will help to bring that about. af4ze 5"-
The same comment might apply in hundreds of
other American communities.
business expert remarks that the average wheat
grower works his crop three months of the year. and
many farmers raise nothing but wheat. It is hardly
fair for such farmers to expect large return for
their effort and investment others who do more IN
tensve kind Of agricultural work like truckraisng
dairying or who raise mixed crops requiring their at
tention throughout the year.
Neither is it possible to overlook the fact that fail
ures in farming probably no more frequent than
failures in business, and are often due to the same
cause-unfitness for The occupation, lack of intel
ligent use of opportunity.
In any event the best help the farmer can get is
the help that he provides, individually and collective
ly for himself. Governmental help never does more
than supplement the farmers efforts, and often
fails in that.

TRAFFIC AND PROSPERITY

By the end Of the year, says the Department OF
Commerce. there will be 1A00G000 automobiles in this
country, with every city, town and village having its
share of them.
How many by the end of next year, and the year
after and 10 years hence? And how will all that gas
engine traffic, piling up rapidly, be taken of
by communities and business institutions that cannot
cope with the present traffic?
This is true of cities whose main streets are al
ready impossible large part of the time and true of
hotels stores and amusement places rendered nacces
sible to the automobilists from and far, who
would like to reach them. <sfs-. 49, IA
The prosperous community hereafter will be one
that provides, early enough in the game, adequate
thoroughfares and parking places and auxiliary
of getting around town easily and quickly.
The prosperous hotel store theater other bus
ness institution dealing directly with its patrons will be
the one that enables all its potential patrons to reach
it without undue effort
