Seed Important
in Potato Yield
First Requirement Is That
They Be Free From Any
Possible Disease.

prepared by the United states Department
OF Agriculture.)
A progressive corn farmer does not
plant the nubbins left In his crib after
he mas fed or sold the bulk Of his crop
during the winter. He has long since
learned the value Of good seed corn.
The same farmer, on the other hand,
does not always use equally good judg-
ment In selecting seed for his potato
patch. Too often he plants the culls
and inferior potatoes which are left In
the bin after the good ones have been
sold or eaten. He has not learned the
value Of good seed potatoes.
First Requirement.
"The first requirement in good seed
potatoeS" says William Stuart, potato
specialist Of the United States Depart.
ment of Agriculture, IFS that they be
as free as possible. from disease, at
least of those diseases which cannot
be destroyed through treatment in
either the hot or cold corrosive subli-
mate or formalin solutions" Good
seed. he says, must also possess good
vigor, high productive capacity, and
be true to name and to type Of va
riety. While such factors as the prep
aration Of the land, its fertilization,
the proper spacing Of the seed pieces,
and the cultural care given the grow
Ing crop have an Important bearing
on the yield, none, he says, is of such
prime Importance as the character Of
the seed. -..-ss-.. u.
Perhaps the best way for the aver
age farmer potato grower to be as
sured Of good seed is to purchase Ger
titled seed" There Is abundant evil
dence that certified seed lis improved
seed, and that it will yield much more
than common or uncertified seed. Re
ports to the department from a num-
Der Of experiment stations in the Unit
ed States and Canada, based on H..
627 tests show an actual increase Of
46.4 bushels per acre for certified seed
over uncertified seed. Individual tests
showed an increase of as much as 219
bushels per acre by the use Of certi-
fed seed. ...
Crop Grades Higher.
Increased yield is not the only ia.
vorable result from the use Of such
seed, says Mr.. Stuart. The crop from
good seed will invariably grade high
er per cent Of No. 1 stock than win
that from poor seed. The difference
may often be SO great as 20 per cent,
but even If 1t should be only 10 per
cent 1t materially enhances the value
Of good seed. -

Origin of "Motch"

The derivation Of the term match"
as used in its present sense Is OBJ
scure. 1t is probably from the Greek
and Latin "myxa," meaning nozzle
of a lamp. In 1887 we find reference
In literature to matches, the name
being applied to the wick Of candle
or lamp. The earliest reference to
matches In their present sense Is
found In 1880.

Grapes need four sprays during the
season II they are to have adequate
protection against diseases and insects.
The Iowa Fruit Growers association
recommends the following spray SEIZED
ule for grapes
First Spray-Spray a few days be-
fore the blossoms open for anthranose
and black rot. Use homemade Dor
deaux mixture Of four pounds quick
lime and four pounds copper sulphate
to fifty gallons Of water, or about six
pounds commercial bordeaux to fifty
gallons Of water. .......... ....s-
Second Spray-Apply the second
spray after the grapes have bloomed
and are about the size Of small shot,
before the berries touch In the bunch,
for the control of black rot and leaf
eating insects. Use homemade Dor
deaux mixture, 44-5O formula, or about
six pounds of commercial bordeaux to
fifty gallons Of water. Also ada one
and one-half pounds of dry arsenate of
lead to every fifty gallons of water, no
matter whether homemade or COM
mercial bordeaux Is used. .-.e
Third Spray-Apply the third spray
about two weeks after the second,
using the same spray material as in
the second spray.
Fourth Spray-Apply the fourth
spray ten days to two weeks after the
third spray and use the same spray
material as in the second spray.
The latter sprays are especially I'm
portant for the control of black rot on
grapes, particularly If the season has
been wet.

Complete Draft of Safety
Measures Considered at
National Meeting

Washington, March $50 "A
complete draft Of safety measures
designed to reduce traffic accidents,
which last year took toll of $500
lives and approximately 100000 IN
jured in the United States, was taxi
en- up today at the first Of three
day session of the second national
conference on street and highway
safety.
Secretary Hoover. in opening the
conference attended by about ! 900
delegates, including governors OF 43
states, sent here at the request Of
President Coolidge, emphasized the
need Of uniformity Of laws as ne
tween the states and uniformity Of
traffic ordinances as between cities
in the same state.
Answering those who doubt the
wisdom of uniform traffic laws, Mr.
Hoover called attention to results Of
study recently made indicating
that accident hazards in states having
modern vehicle codes are less By -
to 80 per cent than in states not
having such laws. These figures
he added, appear to be supported by
data gained from the experience Of
automobile insurance companies.
Drastic Penalties Advocated
He advocated drastic penalties 70,

ing belief that much Of the solu-
ton Of the present high accident
rate on our city streets and rural
highways lies in the enforcement OF
the law by the police and by proper.
