When cool Heist weather occurs
in July and August, late blight of
potatoes often causes great losses
particularly in the Northern States
The disease spreads very rapidly ir
favorable weather, killing the plants
in a few days. Late blight can be
controlled by thoroughly spraying
the plants with 4-4-50 Bordeaux
mixture, beginning when the disease
is first seen. Repeat the spraying
every 10 to IA days in dry weather
and every Z to 10 days in moist
weather

manifested since the break of 1921.
This is the opinion Of George II.

sProphets OF ssaturation points,
and OF declining exports alike fail
to study carefully the economic
compulsion which is maintaining
both our domestic and overseas

'sIn the matter of domestic con-

which win constitute the backbone
of our export business.
'sThese countries are undergoing
the same social and economic de-
selopment among the middle classes
which was begun is years ago in
this country and concluded with
the general acceptance of the motor
car as every mans necessity. The
great middle classes OF these coun-
tries are in the economic position
to possess motor cars and, reacting
to the vast literature of American
life which is circulating among
them, they are learning that the
possession of passenger cars and
trucks are social and business mat
ters of fact.
There is now going on in these
African civilizations a great move

mobiles. Obviously this demand
must be satisfied and, at present,
that can be done only by American
methods Of volume production. The
future of the American automobile
industry is, therefore, clear.
