The Frankness of the Great Teacher.
John 14:2. If it were not so, would
have told you {
1t He were judged according to
modern high-pressure business meth
DDS, Jesus Christ would be rated as
the worst salesman on record, for
when people came to inquire about
His gospel the very first thing he did
was to tell them about its disadvan-
tages. "Men shall revile you, and
prosecute you, and say all manner of
evil against you falsely, for my sake"
He warned them.
The worst blunder a salesman can
make at the start is to let his "pros-
pect" know the cost of the thing, es-
pecially if the cost is heavy. But
when the multitudes swarmed around
the Master, eager to be His disciples,
the very first word He said to them
was "sit down and count the cost"
And He told them bluntly what the
cost of discipleship is-renunc; alton
of all that one has, the bearing of a
cross, and the possible enmity of for
mer associates and friends.
The Master frankly told people
about the disadvantages Jas well
as the advantages of His way of life,
the troubles they must expect as we'll
as the rewards they would receive
the sorrows as well as the joys they
would experience. He never held out
any p eading hopes to win men. He
new tered any politicians prom
lses. ever covered up any blem-
lshes Clever salesman's false
hoods. men accepted His gospel
they did it with their eyes open and
their wits about them.
4 The Great Teacher faced the facts
arely, however unpleasant the
s might be. He would allow
her Himself nor anyone else to
refuge in comforting illusions
Fan trust this Teacher We know
that He speaks nothing but the truth
We know, therefore, that He is tell
ing US the truth when He says, "In
my Fathers house are many man.
sions; if it were not so l would have
told you" This Teacher never toll
Grated idle words or hearsay testi-
mony. He had no use for day dreams
and baseless hopes. He handled facts,
nothing but facts. He was ruthless
realist. So we have to believe Him
when He says, GIN my Fathers house
are many mansions, for He speaks
nothing but the truth.
~ We have to believe Him when He
tells the pure in heart that they shall
see God, the merciful they shall OBJ
tain Gods mercy, the peace-makers
that they shall be sons of God, and the
prosecuted that theirs is the kingdom
of heaven. If it were not so, He would
have told us.
We have to believe Him when he
says to those in sorrow, 81 will not
leave you comfortless: 1 come to
you. Lo, am with you Away, even
unto the end of the world. Because
I live, we shall live also" If it were
not so, He would have told us. e.

COUNTY AGENTS COLUMN.

7f Resident County Agent,
Office, Court House.
Growers Experience Unusual Potato
Losses.

Growers of potatoes throughout the
greater portion Of Maryland are re-
porting to DR.. R. A. Jehle, plant path
ologist for the University of Mary
land Extension Service, an unusual
and serious condition of potatoes in
storage due to late blight.
While the disease is not new in
Maryland, it is usually confined to
the higher attitudes and to the north
ern section of the State and as rule
does not affect potatoes in storage so
seriously as has been the case this
year. The unusual prevalence of the
disease is directly attributed to the
peculiar weather conditions of last
August.
An interesting feature of the situa-
ton is the fact that the tubers gain
their initial infection from spores of
the disease that are washed down
from the vines and into the ground by
rains befop9 the potatoes are dug.
Late blight is caused by fungus
w attacks the vines, as well as
tubers, causing dark, irregular
spots on the leaves and stems. The
affected areas Of the plant die and
frequently diseased fields look as if
the vines had been scalded or frozen.
The spores of the fungus are produced
on the blighted vines from which they
are washed by the rains through the
soil to the tubers.
The disease begins to develop on
the tubers when they are dug but it
is not so apparent until after they
have been stored. Its presence in
stored potatoes is characterized !
dark, sunken areas on the surface and
by dark, dead areas that extend into
the flesh of the tubers. The disease
will continue to develop in storage
unless low temperatures are main
tanned. Under ordinary home storage
conditions the temperature will be
high enough for the disease to devel-
op, it is said.
Cool wet weather, especially cool
nights accompanied by heavy dews
and fogs, favor late blight, Weather
conditions last August were highly
favorable for the development of the
disease with the result that it spread
to all parts of the State with the ex-
ception of the southernmost counties.
The disease has been found on all
varieties of potatoes and while the
vines of the Jersey Redskin and the
Mccormick are resistant to the dis
ease, the tubers of all varieties are
alike susceptible.
In all cases where blight is present
in home stored potatoes, the crop
should be marketed at once. Where
the percentage of infection is small,
seed from the crop may be saved if
very carefully sorted, although the
safest plan is to purchase new seed.
Certified and uncertifed Jersey
Redskin seed, free from late blight, is
available in Worcester and Somerset
counties, says DR.. Jehle, but the sup
ply is limited, and growers who want
it will have to place their orders i'm
mediately. County agents in the two
counties will be able to assist in To-
eating the good seed.
