Increase Food Value of Potatoes by Spray Has Effect of Controlling Diseases and Helps Yield. (Prepared by th« United State* Department ©t Agriculture.) Spraying pulutoea with such copper sprays us bordeuux, pickering 'sprays, and barium water sprays uot only bus ths effect of controlling the diseases for which they are applied, but, according to the United States Department of Agriculture, thorough and timely spraying usually greatly Increases the yield, Influences the composition of the tubers, and increases their keeping qualities. For many years observers have reported also a stimulating effect of bordeuux mixture on potato foliage and a gain in yield even when no diseases were present. The why and bow of this effect of copper have been much discussed by scientists and many experiments made. An interesting contribution to this subject has lately been made by F. C. Cook of the bureau of chemistry In department bulletin 1146, where evidence is presented to show that bordeaux and other copper sprays increase the starch and nitrogen constituents of the potato tubers and consequently make them more valuable for food and Industrial uses. The bulletin contains considerable data collected from a number of stations doing experimental work with copper sprays on potatoes and should be of Interest to the plant physiologists and others doing investigational work of this nature. liesuits obtained in seven states (Virginia, Maine, Minnesota, Pennsylvania, New York, Connecticut and New Jersey), showed an average of 2,591 pounds of solids of the tubers per acre for the non-copper sprayed plants and 3,430 for the copper-sprayed plants, an average Increase of 32.4 per cent, or 48 bushels, due apparently to the use of copper sprays. The results should furnish additional support to the practice of spraying potatoes. Those interested may secure a copy of this bulletin free of charge upon request from the United States Department of Agriculture, Washington, D. C. Value of Pure Bred Is Taught by County Agent A county agent In Colorado reported to the United States Department of Agriculture a convincing method he has used in furthering the better-sires work In his county. A butchering and meat-cutting demonstration was given w ith two market hogs, one a pure-bred Duroc Jersey and the other a scrub red hog. The hogs were weighed, then slaughtered and dressed, and .weighed again. The live weight of each hog was practically the same. The dressing percentage of the pure bred was about 7 per cent more than that of the scrub. The good hog figured to be worth $2.10 more than the other. Tills was but a fraction of the difference in value between the two hogs, however, as the pure bred was but half as old as the scrub hog, and had consumed much less feed. The meat-cutting demonstration was held In the auditorium of the county school, and more than 500 men and women were present. The two carcasses were cut Into the various cuts of meat, showing the superior quality of the meat of the pure-bred hog. Alfalfa in Full Bloom Will Produce More Hay Alfalfa cut in full bloom is slightly less palatable but produces more hay than when cut at beginning of bloom. Fields mowed earlier die out sooner. Cutting the alfalfa just when the new growth starts from the crown gives the plants the best chance of competing against weeds and conserves moisture by keeping the ground shaded most of the time. Too late fall cutting promotes winter killing. Nebraska station finds that it does not pay to plant alfalfa In rows and cultivate for hay. Combination to Provide Pasture for Farm Stock A combination that will provide a good pasture for sheep, calves and colts all summer may be secured by using rape as a base. The mixture consists of three pounds of rape, one bushel of oats, one-half bushel of one or two other small grains, and from ten to twenty pounds of sorghum. If desired ten pounds of Sudan grass may be substituted for the sorghum with satisfactory results. Durability of Leather Can Be Much Increased Specialists in the bureau of chemistry, United States Department of Agriculture, have learned that the durability of machine belts, driving belts, harness, and other leather articles used by the farmer can be greatly Increased after a judicious selection in the first place by giving them the care that will strengthen and preserve them. Rat Viruses Unreliable and Also Quite Costly "Generally unreliable and costly." the United States Department of Agriculture says of rat viruses. The department has vigorously urged the destruction of rats and co-operated with local rat-killing campaigns. Farmers' Bulletins 896 and 932, Issued by the department, describe methods of destroyIng rats.

The waters of the Salt and Verde rivers carry the drainage from some 12,250 square miles of territory. If tills water could be properly stored and carefully spread over tills great unproductive area during the "growing’’ season fabulous crop wealth would naturally result. By tlie building of a tremendous dam a reservoir was formed which holds the water which formerly went to waste. This dam (Roosevtflt) Is 1,125 feet long on top and 280 feet high in the center, and contains 342,325 cubic yards of building material. The reservoir extends some 20 miles up stream and holds sufficient water to cover 1.365,000 acres one foot deep. To properly and efficiently handle such a herculean task as the storing and distribution of such a stupendous volume of water over such a broad area. It was necessary to construct and bring into use an intricate and far-reaching system of spillways, tunnels, hydraulic gates and something like 750 miles of canals. Some idea of the success of this project can be glimpsed from the crop report for the year 1920. The Irrigated area had been divided into 4,200 farms which boasted a population of 31,600 and contained eight towns which had forty-one schools and forty-five churches and housed 32,199 persons. These 4.200 farms yielded the following crops, in bushels: barley, 178,520; com, 66,985; oats, 67,390; wheat, 95,285; sorghum grain, 22,388; beans. 1.490; potatoes, 11,700; 13,671,000 I lbs of fruits; 28,465,000 lbs. of cotton, 100,936 tons of alfalfa hay and 42,700 tons of cotton seed. The farms , on this project also contained 5,137 I sheep; 8.662 hogs; 254,572 chickens, < turkeys, geese, etc., and 13,819 hives of bees. Thus the magic-like touch of the U. , S. reclamation service “maketh the desert to blossom as the rose.” (®. 1»23. Western Newspaper Union.) America’s Marvels NATURAL AND OTHERWISE By T. T.

Black Raspberry Hurt by Disease Growers in Many Sections Suffer Heavy Losses From New Ailment. (Prepared by the United States Department ut Agriculture ) Growers of bluck raspberries in various parts of the United States, particularly in Ohio and New York, have been suffering discouraging losses in many instances from a mysterious disease, which, for is called eastern blue-stem. During the last few years, the United States Department of Agriculture has been studying the disease in certain localities mid now sums up what is know n about it in Department Circular 227, Eastern Blue-Stem of the Bluck Raspberry, by R, B. Wilcox. Profits Curtailed. The disease, which is marked by a peculiar curling of the young leaves and blue stripes on the canes, gradu- . aiiy reduces the productivity of the plantations and kills the affected plants in two or three years. In some sections where raspberries have been grown extensively for years profits are curtailed to such an extent that farmers are not encouraged to stay in the business and the center i of production is gradually shifting as disease follows the new plantings, j Where investigations have been made tlie infection of fields has ranged from : 0 to 75 per cent, and total loss In | tlie northeastern part of the country j Is thought to be very large. Some I slightly infected patches have been found in Michigan and Wisconsin. Tlie general effect of blue-stem is a gradual stunting of the plant, with a reduction of tlie yield and dwarfing of tlie berries. When affected tips are planted they make little growth, and the following spring they start feebly or not at all. Often the grower may suspect that tlie trouble is win-ter-killing. No recoveries have eve? been noted. If tlie affected parts art; cut off tlie disease will soon show up in another part. Plants started by rooting tlie tips of diseased plants | will always have the No I bacteria or fungi liave yet been found ■ that might be said to be tlie cause, j but certain features of tlie malady, i such as tlie mottling and deformity i of tlie leaves and tlie stunting and | final death of the plants, indicate tliat j it may be of the mosaic type. Diseased Tips Planted. Blue-stem becomes established by the planting of diseased tips, lint at the time of digging it is impossible 1 to recognize those tliat carry tlie infection, and tlie symptoms do not tip- j pear earl* enough in tlie spring so that tlie diseased tips can be found before they have made a growth of several inches. Thus far no very resistant variety has been found, and ! no spray is known to be effective I The only practical method to get ' ahead of blue-stem is to get stock ! from a nursery known to be free of it and set as. far as practicable from : diseased plantation*. Young fields must be carefully watched and plants showing blue-stem symptoms removed and replaced by healthy tips. Growers Interested in a thorough discussion of the disease may get a copy of tlie circular by writing the Department of Agriculture, Washing ton, D. C. Crispness and Tenderness Come With Rapid Growth To have good vegetables most of them must grow rapidly. If they grow slowly the leaf crops will lie tough and will get strong quickly. Crispness and tenderness come with rapid growth. Pens and beans are better flavored. Radishes are less pithy. Corn is deeper and better set, and I think the flavor is better, too. Rich soil is a prime factor In forcipg rapid growth, but it is not all. Cultivation to preserve the soil moisture is a help. Irrigation is not much practiced but where it is possible it will often save a crop from a severe check in a dry spell, and these checks make for toughness. It has been shown by tests that a little artificial feeding will not only make ■ vegetables better in quality lint in I many cases will keep such plants as tomatoes setting when ordinarily' they stop in hot weather. Then shade or partial shade will often make tlie leaf crops more tender and sweet. Sometimes Difficult to Get Start of Alfalfa On land which is very rich in humus it is sometimes difficult to get alfalfa started because of the looseness of tlie soil. On such soli the alfalfa seed which is deep enough in the ground to have moisture enough to grow, maybe so deep that it does not grow; and if the seed is shallow enougli to grow it may not be deep enougli to have moisture long enough. Hence on such ground tlie seed should be covered shallow and the surface soil be well compacted by rolling after the seeding Is done. Main Requirements of Good Alfalfa Seed Bed The main requirements of a good seed bed for alfalfa, red and sweet clover, and other small seeded crops are that It be moist, finely pulverized, compact, with a loose surface. Aside from moisture which depends on the weather, perhaps the most Important point, especially if the seed bed has been plowed, is to get it firmly packed.

Brands Chicago Board Os Trade As (Jambling Place (United Press Service) Chicago. June 19— (Special to Daily Democrat)—The Chicago Board ot Trade lias bocdnie the world's 1 urea ter l gambling place and works j against the Interest of both the producer and the consumer. Senator Arthur Capper of Kansas told 500 delegates to the national wheat con- . fxrence here today. The conference Is being held to devise away of increasing wheat prices, "By operating bears on the market prices were adjusted to bring profit 1 to the speculator at the expense of the man who grew the grain and the man who merely consumes it," Clappt r declared. "In the famous ‘May squeeze’ of a year ago a few- speculators cleaned j up more than $2,000,000 within twen-ty-four hours. That $2,000,000 was more by far than all the farmers of I Kansas were paid for their entire crop." To "protect the farmer and the consumer” Capper urged the organization of a co-operative wheat marketing association. WHEE! ANOTHER HOT ONE Indianapolis, June 19. —Another hot night is predicted by J. H. Armstrong. U. S. weather bureau expert. No let up in the hot weather is yet in sight he said. Tlie minimum temperature of the past twenty-four hours came at 5 a.m. this morning when the reading was 71 degrees. The maximum temperature recorded yesterday was 88 degrees. Thousands flocked to the city parks last night. CHICAGO MARKET CLOSE Wheat; July $1.07%; Sept.sl.o6%; Dec. $1.09’4. Corn: July 82%c; Sept. 78%c; Dec. 67%. Oats: July 40%c; Sept. 37%c; Dec. 39%c.

Usually it is of tine organdie or linen, and is combined with an elaborate jabot or bow tie. — Suede Hats Small suede hats are very smart, and may be trimmed or untrimmed as one wishes. The general rule to follow is the more brilliant the color the less noticeable the trimming. New Handbag Some of the newest handbags have a small ring at one side of the handle through which is drawn one of the colorful handkerchiefs so popular this season. Ruffled Skirts Ruffled skirts are popular not only in the bouffant silks and chiffons for evening, but also in thd smart little frocks of calico, gingham or chambray that are designed for summer wear. o Equal Bird Right*. Homing pigeons probably are doser to tlie human family than any other form of winged life. The thirds have remarkable intelligence, says Nature magazine. They mate in pairs and the female of each union lias exercised her right of suffrage to the extent tliat the male helps her in hatching out the eggs and In caring for and feeding the young.
