PRES. WILSON'S APPEAL
Here are the highlights in Presi
dent Wtlsoii's appeal to the country
for each man and woman to do his
bit
"We must supply abundant food
for ourselves and tor a large part of
the nations with whom we have now
made common cause.
"We must supply ships by the hun
dreds.
. "The Industrial forces of the coun
try men and women alike will be
a great service army engaged in the
aerrice of the nation and world, the
efficient friends and sartors of free
men everywhere.
"The Importance of an adequate
food supply especially of the present
year is superlative.
"Upon the fanners of this country
In large measure rests the fate of the
war and the fate of the nations.
"I call upon yonng men and old
alike to turn in hosts to the farms.
"I appeal to farmers of the south
to plant abundant foodstuffs as well
as cotton.
': "To the middlemen of every sort:
The eyes of the country will be es
pecially upon you. The country ex
pects you as well as all others to
forego unusual profits.
' "This Is the time for America to
conquer her unpardonable fault of
wastefulness and extravagance.
'These things we must do and do
twell, besides fighting the things
without which mere fighting would be
fruitless."

, Potato Disease
Prof. J, K, Larson spent S days
with me last week and during that
Urn we examined the seed potatoes
of about 80 formers' In the county.
In not a single Inilanco did we find
seed absolutely free from disease, al
though some of It was very nearly
o. It was, however, gratifying to
find that almost every one Is plan-
I nlng to treat his seed before plant
ing. The three most common and ser
ious troubles found were scab, rhtioe
tonta and wilt. Almost every one Is
! familiar with the flrst named and
the method of treatment for It, The
j second Is frequently called the "I Jttle
I Potato Disease," It is shown in the
i resting stage by small Irregular dark
colored particles firmly attiched to
the skin of the potato although they I
can be readily scraped off with the!
finger nail. The disease attacks the
young sprouts and later the crown
and tuber stems of the plant. Such
attacks may kill the young plants
but more frequently results In, ro
setted tops and hills of many small
potatoes. This disease Is not con
trolled by formaldehyde treatment
but does yield to the corrosive snb
llmnte application as does likewise
the scab. So by all means nae the
latter treatment In the proportion of
one to 1,000. Dissolve two ounces
of the corrosive sublimate In S gal
lons of hot water and then make up
to IS gallons. Soak the seed, before
cutting, one and one half to two
hours, not longer. Do not line metal
containers. Rememher also that
this Is a polaon and should be handled
carefully.
The wilt shows up at this time of
the year In small dark ;ot and
commonly a dark ring about equi
distant from the surface of the po
tato, entering from the Mem end.
The only remedy for this trouble
is to eliminate all potatoes showing
any Indication of black spots or black
rings when cutting the seed, and

This dlaeaae Is perhaps responsible,
more than any other, for the decreas

vines, after they are 6 to 10 inches

Nine years of continuous, consist

Each year a better car and a bet
ter value!
Over three hundred thousand now

That is the history of the c-r that
built Overland because it repre
sented integrity of value.

And as steadfastly as thin car has
represented original integrity of
value, so also has The Willys
Overland Company sustained
that integrity ot value through
out its service in the hands of
those who purchased it.
The Overland Big Four of this
season and its twin except for
the motor the Overland Light
Six, are the direct outcome of
all this development.
More than three hundred thou
, sand owners and more than
four thousand dealer and factory-branch
organizations have
assisted this development by
their experience with these cars
and their helpful suggestions of
imprbvernents.
In their new beauty, in their per
fected easy tiding qualities, in'
their proven tsturdiness and
mechanical excellence, in their
admitted .tire, fuel and oil
economy, these cars are worthy
of the confidence we have, that
they will further enhance Over
