Fotato Spraying.
The great Irish potato famines and
heavy crop loeses last year in America
were caused by the ‘late blight" of
potatoes, Beveral other disesse and
insects which carry blight and sattsck
foliage, stems and tubers can be con-
trolled by well known sprays. It
pays to spray. A Colorado potato
beetle may deposit upwards of one
thousand egge during the summer ov-
er a long period, Two generations
are common in this state, Foliage in-
jury in plants is equivalent to reduc-
tion of lupg capacity In avimals,
bence very detrimental, The tiny
black jumping beetle attacks both
leavee and tubers. The adult eats
tiny holesin the foliage and carries
the blight fangues, while the larvae
burrow into the tuber,
Hpray potato vines with Bordeaux
mixture (3 lbe. bluestone or copper
sulfate and four Ibe, fresh lime in 50
gale, of water)—with 2 lbs, powdered
arsenate of lead added.. Onpe<half
pound Paris green may be substituted
for arsenate of lead, but will be wash-
ed off by rain much quicker,
First spray when plants are 4 to 6
inchea high, 20d, two weeks later avd
later sprays at interals of three weske,
Four or five sprays thoroughly applied,
with good nozales, under heavy pres
sure, will insure a good clean crop, if

OBJECTED TO THE ROOSTERS
Philadeiphia Man Unable to Appre
clate Chanticleer’'s Greeting to
the Rosy Morn.
Roosters that are described as hav-
ing “shrill and penetrating crows” and
hens that cackle unceasingly are re
sponsible for William Brounsworth
getting a summons to court to answer
to a charge of maintaining a nulls
ance, the Philadelphia North Ameri.
oan SAYS
Complainant {n the action, begun in
court No. 1, is Andrew Heldrich, 418
Lindley avenue, who lives next door to
Brounsworth. He alleges that the noise
the roosters and chickens is de
stroying the peace and quiet of his
home and making early morning sleep
impossible
“For some months past,” the state-
says, "the defendant has been
keeping in his yard a number of loud-
volced crowing roosters and a large
number of hens, which have become
an intolerable nuisance, because the
roosters have shrill, penetrating crows
and they crow during all hours of the
night and early morning.
“The crowing of the roosters and
the cackling of the hens have affected
the nerves of the complainant, his
wife and children, and their health is
threatened. The complainant's wifa
has suffered complete nervous break-
down and is under the care of a physi
cian.”
The court is asked to declare the
chickens a nuisance,
Marketing Farm Products,
United States Senator Fletcher has
called a meeting of the national mar.
keting committee to devise moans to
aid the farmer in marketing his prod
ucts, and also to enable the consumer
to distinguish between the high cost
of food and the high cost of serv-
ice,
“The farmers of the country are pro-
ducing annually crops for which they
receive $9,000,000,000, and for which
the consumer pays, $27,000,000,000,”
sald Representative W, 8. Goodwin of
Arkansas, a member of the committee,
“The farmer gets 35 cents and the
middleman gets 656 cents for each dol
lar the consumer pays for the farm-
or's crops. There is an enormous
amount of waste, especially in perish.
able products, because of the lack of
some central directing intelligence.”

Having Fun With the Bread Cards.
German humorists have found excel
