MOSAIC WILL REDUCE POTATO YIELD

A group of definite virus diseases
are causing a loss of yield of from rs
to SO per cent in the potato fields Of
many sections of Washington, says
George L. zundel, extension specialist
in plant diseases at the State College
of Washington.
Until few years ago this loss was
ttributed to what was called running
out" of potatoes. 1t is now known
to be group of definite virus dis
eases. These include mosaic, streak,
eaf roll, spindle tuber, witches broom,
etc.
The virus that causes these diseases
is disseminated by sucking insects.
The diseases are also spread by plant
ng seed potatoes from diseases vines.
Many farmers have high percent
age of mosaic in their potato fields
and do not know 1t. Not infrequent!y
the diseases plants are mistaken by
the farmer for new early variety.
A recent extension trip in North
Central and Western Washington re-
vealed the fact that many farmers
there have even 100 per cent mosaic
White Bluffs spokesman. [volume] (White Bluffs, Wash.) 1907-1938, 1924-08-22

in their fields and did not realize that
the disease was p1 esent
There are now two strains of pota-
toes in the state that are practically
free from mosaic. The Engler strain
of Melted Gem potatoes, raised near
}idgefeld, Washington, is of very high
quality.
Demonstration fields in Pierce and
Pacific counties, where this strain Of
Melted Gem was used, are being COM
pared with fields in which common
seed was planted. No mosaic is found
in the Melted Gem plots as compared
to large amount Of it in the common
seed areas.
Another demonstration at Menlo, In
Pacific County, showed that uncerI,-
fled seed had 81 per cent mosaic, as
ompared to only 6 per cent where GER
tilted seed was used. The yield in the
certified plot will probably exceed the
common seed planting by IS per cent.
Another good strain is Beauty Of
Hebron. These have been found on
the farm of Mr.. Lily, of Menlo, In
which no mosaic Is present

AVERAGE LENGTH OF LIFE WILL BE
INCREASED 20 YEARS, SAYS REPORT

The infant mortality from prevent
able causes will be eliminated within
two decades is the inference drawn
from a recent study made by DR.. Otto
R. Eichel, director of vital statistics
of the New York Department Of
Health, the results of which aroused
comment from the statistical advisors
of the Milbank Memorial Fund. BY
spending $2,OOO,00O in the practical
application Of scientific knowledge of
public health in three New York state
communities typical Of the country at
large, this fund hopes among other
things to aid in determining whether
public health authorities are justified
in believing, as many do, that by 1875
the present average length Of life can
be increased by at least twenty years.
DIR. EichePs studies, which were
made in Syracuse, one of the demon
stration communities, show that ba-
bies have much better chance today

We have learned that large pro-
portion Of the sickness from which
mankind suffers is absolutely prevent
able, but perhaps we do not realize o
what an extent this is true of acct

A study which one Of our large &C.
cident insurance companies has re-
Gently made shows that vigilance can
not be relaxed from the time we arise
in the morning until we retire at
night, IL we are to avoid accidents
large or small.
Analysing 10000 accidents, they
found that 121 persons were paid

cidents in getting out of bed the
wrong way (surely that could be cas-
lily avoided), 80 victims skidder on
the soap and were forcefully planted

NOT eliminate soap. The next hazard
started when the stairs were reached,
as 1853 persons were injured In too
rapid descent; sos were thrown to the
flood by insecure rugs (the remedy for
this is obvious); 396 automobile driy-
ers suffered injuries in turning her
over" but Lizzie usually boasts of a
selfstarter now.
A toointimate contact with birds,
animals and insects accounted for 118
accidents from "bites." Tight cloth.

the extent that their claims for dam.
ages were allowed. Foreign particles
in the eye accounted for 200 ac1i
dents; burns by matches, cigars and
lighters were reported by 35 persons

WHEAT FARMERS VOTE
FIVE COMMUNICATION

Five special recommendations were
made to the government by 100 Pa
louise wheat farmers representing
vast acreage of production at con-
ference at the State College of Wash
ington with DR.. II. c. Taylor and Mr..
Beasley, government Department OF
| Agriculture specialists, at meeting
! presided over by Director e. l..
French of the State Department OF
agriculture and r. R. White, in charge
of grain inspection.
First there was a unanimous vote
to change the present grading so that
5 per cent of any other seed except
Durham may be permitted In the No.
spring red wheat, instead of the
present discrimination against white
grains.
The second motion was to make the
test weight Of white spring wheat the
same as red, So pounds instead of 60
pounds for No. J., as the white wheat
grown in this district do not run
heavy.
In the 1923 crop, on test of 100,-
900 bushels, only 6.34 per cent tested
60 pounds; 30.139 per cent, SO pounds:
5243 per cent, 5S pounds; 6.34 per
cent 81 pounds, and 4.76 per cent, 56
pounds or under. These averaged 1
pound heavier in each case than the
average crop here, as the season was
particularly favorable one.
The motion for reduction to g.
pound test was made because the
Portland conference had favored CO.
pound test, on account of the high
land farmers about Dufur and that tri-
angle Of Eastern Oregon raising heav-
Ter wheats under different tillage con-
ditions.
A third point made was that the
Federal tests should be made after
dockage and cleaning, not before. The
heavy dockage charge has been sore
point with Palouse farmers.
A fourth resolution was against
changing the present test weight OF
No. 1 Western red wheat from SO
pounds to 60 pounds. There Is no
objection to the establishment OF spe-
cial fancy and extra grades at SO and
go pounds but the No. 1 test should
remain at So pounds, they believe
Finally an independent motion was
made, quite outside the conference
aim, but showing the feeling OF the
local growers, in favor Of the McNa-
mara Hoag bill on wheat export.
At the close Of the conference d.
rector 70. c. Johnson Of the State Ag-
ricultural Experiment Station spoke
briefly on what has been done In
wheat breeding adaptation work to
get rid of the biggest problem of the
district-smut-by producing such re.
sistant wheats as the new Ridit.
At similar conference in Walla
Walla the day before the farmers OF
that section went on record In favor
OF 58-pound No. l white and red
wheats both.

Miss Sweet has caught the spirit OF
Anna and has made Anna talk on
the silver screen. In doing this she
has the marvellous services of George
Marion, who was the original Chris
on the stage; of William Russell as
Matt Burke, the Irish lover, and OF
Eugene Besserer as Martha, just a
member of life's scrap pile. The
movie cast matches up to the dra-
matte and spiritual intensity of the
play as written by O'Neiil. The cast
of principals is a small one, and every
one in the movie proves that he or
she is q great artist. 1 saw Miss Lord
in the stage version and Miss Sweet
has nothing to. fear by comparisons.
The work of Blanche Sweet as Anna
will go down in film records as one
of the few really great dramatic and
emotional creations that the screen
has ever produced.
O'Neill has a message for people
who are not afraid to think and for
those who are not afraid to rub elbows
with real life. Anna Christie has
sinned in flesh. She has paid the
price by becoming a painted woman
of the street. She hates men and
brands 'em as being all alike.
The author shows that men want
their wives to be lily white in soul al
though man has sinned with other
women. O'NeiIl proves that an honest
love can cleanse the woman Of her
sin when it is gowned in faith. O'Neil
is not sentimental. The Ann of the
street is always knocking at the door
Of the real Anna Christie.
That is the message Of O'Neill. It
may not be pleasant, but there is
more than a grain of truth tucked
away in this great play. 1t was great
on the stage and as convincing on
the screen. 1t is a story with back
bone because the souls and destinies
of men and women Of the world are
all mixed up.
Be not afraid of O'Nein and his
ANNA Christie" This story has
brains behind it, power and truth 1t
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1924-02-18

IS lofty in theme although it's human
characters often fall into the gutter.
And that is life.
Miss Sweet rises to the highest peak
of acting during the famous scene in
the water front saloon in New York.
Martha is there in the ladies'" part
Of the saloon. She is Anna twenty
years from now" Martha is a hard
animal. She has landed in the ditch
and will never rise. Anna has fallen,
but the spark of real love is tucked
away in her heart although her face
is covered with paint and her lips are
deep red in color.
Then in the barge scene where she
tells Matt and her father just how
rotten she has been, Miss Sweet
mounts again. Here Is dramatic act
ing that equals anything you have
or ever will see on the stage or the
screen.
1t isn't my duty to howl about sup
porting the real honest things Of the
theater. I am old-fashioned enough
right now to feel that the real article
with brains and backbone to it viii
challenge respect and patronage.
If you have any faith in my opinions
then go to the Circle this week and
see Blanche Sweet in Anna Christie. .
This picture proves that a great stage
play can be brought to the screen just
as it was acted on the legitimate
stage. Nothing has been lost in trans.
ferring Anna Christie" to the screen
And while this drama is being un
folded on the screen, Bakaleinikofl
directs the Circle orchestra through
a score which reflects the spirit OF
the play. Wonderful cooperation.
