It was ne- 'cessary to work, and' feed and clothe the forces on the field of battle, but it was no sacrifice to get rich over the result of their labors, while others Were dying in order that those who were left might live in affluence and com- fort under a flag of freedom and protection.

(Experimental Farms Note) ‘ From the consumers’ side. the iq'xestion of marketing potatoes is of ltne greatest importance. especially so in years when the prices for this com- nmdity are advancing daily. The 'otficers of the Experimental Farms recently had an opportunity of inspecting quantities of potatoes in the consumers" own cellars. The pot- atoea had been purchased in the ordinary way from small dealers. The condition of the potatoes was most unsatisfactory. In 'three casesl the amount of rot came up to 75 per cent. Of the total quantity in storage. This rot was the common Late Blight ‘ rot, and was certainly present when . the potatoes were dug. and before llshipping. The consumer is helpless in such: cases. and rarely is there a way open: to him for compensation. Nor is the . small dealer to blame. The blame} rests entirely with the shipper and the l grow er. In order that such losses may I be a voided and the consumer he in al pesi tion to seem e for his good money. ! good pototoes that will keep overj winter, it is necessary for the growers. f on theirpert, to exercise more care in; digging. sorting and handling‘ potatoes. Late Blight is e preventable dieense; every farmer should know this fact, since the Experimental Perms system has made every effort | to demonstrate on meny terms in the ceuntry the effect of sprayini; with results showing the production of sound crops, and an increese in yield emeunting to some 90 to 100 bushels DOT acre. The sole of inferior potatoes is dishonest, if not illegal st the present. moment. Fermers know from their own oxporiense thst store's rota cause greet. losses in their own collars. It uoms. however. the general pract- ice to dispose of an infected crop immediately and shift the losses from not. from the former to the consumer. The letter. however. hos to pay the price of good potatoes. C In A‘ In some instelces. no doubt, the consumer is to blame by storing tetoee (or other winter vegetables) m too werm cellars. Potetoes and similier vegetables must be stored in a cool place. They eennet stand frost. which causes a. sweetish taste in potatoes; but the temperature should never rise above 40 degrees farin- height. Where such conditions are nonâ€"existent it is better not to lay in a. winter’s supply. as losses are sure to result. ‘II-r-‘â€" Farmers are cautioned that the attitude of consumers wii eventually result in demanding grading of potatoes just like apples; and the farmer who does not control diseases in the field, will have all rotten or diseased potatoes thrown on his +W4‘W++++++++$++$+~§4°M+Mé+++++ +W WW Gen.
