POTATOES HIT HARD BY
THE LATE-BLIGHT ROT

Late-blight rot on potatoes has
caused losses to growers in six north
east Minnesota counties of from 20
to 30 per cent of the crop in storage
or in pits, says r. C.. Rose of the ex-
tension division, University Farm,
who was called upon for counsel in
the emergency. Losses have mounted
to many thousands of dollars, he
says, and will continue to increase un-
less the potatoes are marketed at once
or are put in dry storage where the
temperature can be kept under 40
degrees and the ventilation is good.
Late blight is disease caused by
n mold or fungus. Potatoes affected
with it become unstable, or must
be sold at heavy discounts. The rot
starts on leaves of the plants late in
the summer; the tubers become in
fected when they are dug. Blush
gray colored spots appear. Pits form
under the spots and a dry chocolate
brown rot is developed.
The use of disease-free stock and
repeated high pressure spraying with
Bordeaux mixture will hold the blight
to the minimum, oftentimes Danish
ing it, says Mr.. Rose. Organization
of spray rings and the purchase of
high pressure sprayers for use anoth-
err season in the district are now being
planned. For three seasons of the
last four late-blight has taken a
heavy toll in the northeast.

january l, 1923 falls on a Sunday.
The next time our present New Years
Day comes on Sunday will be in 1888.
So if the 13-month calendar is to go
into effect in the easiest possible
way, beginning the week exactly as
at present, something must be done
about it fairly soon, or we shall wait
another five years. The idea of the
13-month calendar, which is strong
ly favored by the U. S. Weather Bur-
eau, is that there will be 13 months
of exactly % days each, necessitating
an extra month, probably set in be-
tween June and July. There will be
one day left over, and it is proposed
to call this "Year Day" and make it
a universal holiday between Decem-
Der % and January 1. All in favor,
say aye!

HOW TO FAIL At FARMING

No farmer wants 10 fail but many
farmers go broke without knowing
why. A farmer who is making real
success of his job gave us ten rules
for going broke one the farm which
he says is about the best set of
"Don'ts" he knows anything about.
Here are his ten rules, for going
broke:
l. Grow only one crop.
2. Keep no livestock.
3. Regard chickens and garden as
nuisance.
4. Take everything from the soil
and return nothing.
s. Don't stop gullies or grow COW
err crops-let the top soil wash away
and then you will have bottom" land.
6. Don't plan your farm opera
tions. It's hard work thinking-truSt
to luck.
7. Regard your wood land as you
would a coal mine; cut every tree, sell
the timber, and wear the cleared land
out cultivating it to corn.
O. Tolu last 10 liie lued lidt Iiie
methods of farming employed by your
grandfather are good enough for you.

your neighbors in any form of cooper

10. Mortgage your farm for every
dollar it will stand to buy things you
would have cash to buy if you fol-

Nation Watching
Plumbers Strike
For 5-Day Week

Building trades workers of the ma
ton are directly involved in the 10
week strike of 5000 Brooklyn union
plumbers for the five-day week and a
S14 scale, declares the Eastern Bur-
eau Of Federated Press in a release
yesterday.
The issue involved is whether build
ing trades wages have reached their
crest, and employers the country
over are following keenly the fight
being directed by the New York Build
ing Trades Employers Association
against the Brooklyn union. Efforts
Of the International union to settle
the strike have been fruitless with the
bosses refusing to arbitrate, unless
the men first go back to work.
Contracts awarded in the New York
district are nearly as high as last
year, according to the official F. w.
Dodge reports. The Brooklyn plumb
ers contend that higher wages may
easily be paid, with the contractors
making large profits and investors in
sistent that buildings they are spon-
soring be erected practically without
regard to cost.
The strike of plumbers in South
Bergen, New Jersey, for $13 involves
similar issue with the master
plumbers receiving support from
other contractors who declare that a
victory for the plumbers means a
higher scale in all parts of New Jer-
sey.
Brooklyn plumbers are receiving
the loyal support of their helpers,
organized in the independent Ameri-
can Association Of Plumbers Helpers,
who are seeking a 50 scale and the
five-day week. Their strike is city
wide, the helpers having gone out
when all the plumbers of New York
were locked out recently. The lock-
out failed but the helpers are still
out.
Other building trades workers who
quit on two big Brooklyn jobs in sup
port of the plumbers, have been or
dered back to work by building trades
council officials. Plasterers, carpen-
ters. electricians, hosting engineers,
marble workers and other trades
showed their solidarity in downing
tools.

he was not prepared to proceed at
