Best Seed Will
Increase Yield
Clean and Healthy Sweet
Potatoes Are Only Kind
to Plant.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
Clean and healthy sweet potatoes
of strains resistant to disease and
most productive for the soil where
they are to be grown, are the only
kind to use for seed, says r. f. Poole,
sweet potato specialist of the New
Jersey agricultural experiment station.
when buying Yellow Jersey sweet
potato seed, the grower should de-
mand certified seed or it's equivalent.
Certified seed sweet potatoes are OBJ
tanned from fields that show very
slight infection of scurf and stem rot,
or none at all. These two diseases
are transmitted in the plant-bed from
diseased potatoes to sprouts, and are
carried to the field on the latter.
Diseases Cause Loss.
Severely diseased seed potatoes may
result in 90 to 100 per cent of diseased
sprouts. In case of stem rot, high
percentage of the plants die soon aft
er they are reset in the field, as well
as during the summer. When scurf-
infected sprouts are set, black.
scurfed potatoes are generally har-
vested.
"Some strains Of Jersey varieties
which are more resistant to stem rot
than others produce 25 to 100 bushels
per acre more than the very suscep-
tible ones.
Difference in Production.
"On the same soil there is differ
ence in the production Of Red Jersey,
Vineless Yellow Jersey, Gold Skin, and
other Jersey strains. That is, the Red
Jersey sometimes produces better than
the Yellow Jersey strains on low sandy
loan areas, while the Yellow Jersey
strains sometimes give the best pro-
duction on high 'sassafrass" sands.
The proper use of the Jersey varieties
and strains will do much to improve
the quality of the crop. as well as
bring the production up to a profitable
point, through the reduction of losses
from disease"
The best time to procure sufficient
supply of good sweet potato seed is
at the digging season. Growers who
failed to do this. and have not yet
laid in their stock, are advised to OBJ
tain good supply now, and not wait
until bedding time, when they may
have to take any kind Of seed they
can get.

Academic Prize Went
to Skillful Arguer

Heretofore "wrangling" was only an
other word for disputing, and as in
the Middle ages all scholarship was
decided by skill in argument in public,
so the senior disputer or ''wrangler"
was the winner of any academic prize
Long after this system of public ar
gument had been superseded by the
system of written examinations, the
name of wrangler had survived, and
up to only few years ago was given
at Cambridge to the senior mathema-
tician Of any one year, many of the
famous scholars of the world being
known as first, second and third
"wranglers."
Some seventeen years. ago, however,
the order of senior, second, and so on,
'wrangler" was abolished, mathemati-
cal scholars being now alphabetically
arranged under groups.

Scientist Has Found
Stars BY the Billion

Prof Frederick Ii. Sears of the
Mount Wilson observatory recently
completed counting the stars in the
heavens. This seemingly impossible
task he accomplished by mathematical
calculations, although he could not
see even with the most powerful tele-
scope 81 per cent of them. First he
divided the sky into squares. Then,
139 of these squares, he photographed
all the stars included in each space
with the great 60-inch rejecting tele-
scope Of Mount Wilson observatory,
which collects $4,000 times as much
light as the human eye. A count of
the stars in the 139 squares showed
1,0O0,000000. The 139 squares,
however, represented only the 1850
part of the sky and include stars
only up to the twenty-first magnitude.
So he worked out ratio between the
stars of each succeeding magnitude
and by an intricate calculation ar
rived at the final count of 30,O00,O00.-

 The high lights were the singing by Mir. German, who gave two of the finest baritone songs extant.

He also sang a song written by Cantor Dis count.

 Cantor Marwit sang several songs in happy style, turning their humor upon Hitting melodies which charm ed his hearers. It was clear that the cantor could travel far as an entertainer.
 Cantor Discount added touch of originality to the proceedings by accompanying himself as he sang and doing so without music. He was so adept at it that he rarely looked at the keyboard as he played -or sang-and the accompaniments be 1t said, were no insignificant ex- amples. His songs were of a de- clamatory humorous variety and there was report that they were of his own manufacture.

 The choir's singing was an im- portant division of the concert The Jewish musical idiom predominated in its offerings, and under Cantor Marwit's direction it sang With a due regard to finish.
