Everything neat and clean Best of everything the market affords, including fresh oysters and shell fish. MEALS 25c and up Particularly at this time of year it is very appropriate to remind all po tato growers of the disease that may be introduced on the seed, and to outline the methods of treatment that have proven most effective in their control. With this end lu view the following suggestions are offered: The diseases which are most apt to be introduced with the seed are late blight, common scab, Rhizoctonia (Black Scurf), and wilt. Late Blight: The fungus produc ing late blight on the potato vines grows within the potato tubers caus ing a rotting principally In storage. Infection by this fungus may be dis tinguished by darkened slightly s unken patches on the surface of the tubers varying in size from a quarter of an inch in diameter to Include the whole potato depending on the se verity of Infection and the storage conditions. ( On cutting into the tub ers, the tissue underneath the sunk en areas will be found darkened. Such infected tubers when planted may produce weak diseased plants which may serve as centers for the spread of the disease to the surround ing plants. Because the fungus grows deep within the potato tissues, no method of seed treatment is effective in killing the fungus. Consequently the only way to avoid bringing in this disease is to plant only potatoes that are free from this fungus. However all seed potatoes should be treated preferably by the method outlined under common scab, to kill any or ganisms that may be on the surface of the tubers. Common Scab: It has been dem onstrated that seed treatment with Mercuric chloride (corrosive sublim ate) using one part to one thousand parts of water is effective in control! iiig common scab. In making this up for use the amount to be used should be carefully weighed out and dissolved in a small quantity of hot water in a clean wooden or porcelain container, but never in metal con tainers as the solution reacts with the metal and rapidly deteriorates. Af ter dissolving it may be diluted to the required amount in similar contain ers and is ready for use. The pota toes should remain in this solution from 1 to 2 hours. This solution should not be used more than three times as dirt and trash carried into it cause it to lose its fungicidal pow er. A convenient way to make up this solution is to have the druggist or other person from whom the mer curic chloride is purchased, weigh it out in small amounts to be dissolved in a given amount of water for the required dilution. Four ounces of mercuric chloride in thirty gallons of water gives the required strength and may be a convenient amount of solution to use. It should be borne in mind that this substance is very poisonous, so should be kept away from small children or stock. Care should be taken not to rein fect the potatoes by placing them back in the same bags or storage place unless they, too, are disinfect ed. All potatoes whether they show evidences of scab or not, should be treated before planting as they may have been selected from badly dis eased lots and are apt to contain spores which might Infect the new crop if left untreated. Khizoctonln (Hlnck Scurf): The seed treatment recommended above for the control of common scab also kills any portions of Rhizoctonia that may be attached to the tubers, and should be used as a precautionary measure on all potatoes used for seed. Wilt: At present the best known method of control for this disease is to plant disease free seed on rotat ed land. If the seed potatoes are once infected, no method of seed treatment is effective in killing the fungi as they grow inside of the po tato tubers. Detailed Inspection of seed stock by cutting across the stem end of the potatoes to determine whether or not sign of strand discol oration extending down into the po tatoes occurs Is highly desirable. If very many tubers show such discol oration the whole lot should be dis carded as seed to avoid introducing this disease into the fields. It is high ly Important that the soil be kept as free as possible from destructive parasites. PHEPHESS CON- H OF NORTH- II!

University of Oregon; Eugene, March 13. From a picture of a lit tle girl with a doll In her arms, and with her hair unbraided so that It crinkles down her shoulders, a slide has just been prepared In the Univer sity extension division. The child Is seven years old, but she Is just be ginning to walk. She would not be walking even now were it not for the Thursday Charity club of Eugene and the physical training department for women at the University. This slide and a number like it will form one of 10 or 12 panels of a child welfare exhibit that is to be started over the state about April 15 by the Oregon Child Welfare commission. The exhibit is to be on tour eiglit months. It Is to go to towns that want it, and requests should be made to Mrs. Robert H. Tate, 1S19 East Morrison street, Portland. Women's clubs or otlior organiza tions that wish to help the child wel fare movement may have the exhibit free. The panels will be in three hinged sections, each 2 by 5 feet. Pictures will be 12 by 14 and will il lustrate some child welfare problem. No lecturer will travel with the exhibit but one may occasionally be had from the University extension division, in which case the pictures will be shown with a stereoptlcon. Otherwise the panels should merely be placed where the greatest number of townsfolk may inspect them. Fif ty towns are expected to ask for the pictures.
