SMITH, County Agent. To make a profit from growing potatoes on the hill lands of Mor row county, one must follow prac tices that will give him the largest yield possible. First of all after de ciding to plant potatoes one should secure seed free from fungus dis eases or the yield will be material ly decreased from this reason alone and as pure seed, free from disease can be secured for very little more than ordinary field rum potatoes, one should always take pains to se cure disease free seed. However, diseases affecting potatoes may be in the ground at the time of plant ing and one may have diseased po tatoes if they sow certified seed. Seed potato treatment for the pre vention of disease is recommended by all authorities on potato grow ing, and the best and most common practice of treating seed In small quantities is to use the corrosive sublimate treatment. This is done by dissolving four ounces of corro sive sublimate in one gallon of hot water. This is then added to 29 gallons of water and four sacks of uncut potatoes are soaked one hour, 1 hours, 1 hours and two hours. TlM treatment should be done in a wooden container only as the cor rosive sublimate corrodes metal, and the strength of the solution is reduced. Potatoes should be treat ed for 8 to 12 days before planting and should be allowed to drain and dry after treating. When possible bulk treating should be practiced as the sacks take up the strength of the solution and the effectiveness of the treatment is lost to some ex tent. When using corrosive subli mate care should be used in keeping it away from livestock and irre sponsible persons as it is a deadly poison and disastrous results may be experienced. Freshly cut potato seed pieces are best kept in a cool, moist place until planted. If exposed to the direct rays of the sun Injury results which prevents development after plant ing. The failure of many Oregon farmers to obtain good stands of potatoes has led to a series of tests at the O. A. C. It was found that freshly cut seed pieces exposed to direct sunlight for three hours be fore planting produced a 50 per cent stand and a 60 per cent yield. Nor mal production was obtained from several lots of seed cut two days be fore planting but protected from sunlight. When a potato is cut, a protective skin is formed over the cut surface. In strong sunlight the seed pieces dry out rapidly prevent ing the formation of this covering and permitting organisms to enter and destroy the seed after planting. The protective layer Is readily form ed in a moist atmosphere. When seed pieces are cut several days be fore planting it is advisable to store crates or spread out In a thin layer on the storage floor when the at mosphere is moist and turned once during the first twenty-four hours. The use of absorbants such as land plaster and flowers of sulphur as sists in the drying process and helps to heal the new cut to a very great extent There are any number of so called virus potato diseases such as Mo saic for which no treatment or pre vention except clean seed selection have been worked out. Consequent ly one should always secure seed from clean stock, treat at least eight days before planting, select ground where potatoes have not been grown for at least four years and cover tb,e potatoes immediately after they are placed in the furrows.

Open Farmers & Stockgrowers National Heppner Hllk Oregon Millions of Model T Fords are s till i in active service FOR nearly twenty years, the Model T Ford led the motor industry and it still is used by more people than any other automobile. More than eight million Model T Fords are in active service today an indication of their sturdy worth, reliability and economy. Because of the tremendous investment which people have in these cars and because so many of them will be driven for two, three, and even five more years, the Ford Motor Company will continue to make replacement parts until, as Henry Ford himself says, "the last Model T is pS the road." For the Ford Motor Company has always believed that its full duty consists not only in making a good automobile at a low price, but also in keeping it running efficiently for you as long as possible at a minimum of expense. No matter where you live, therefore, you can still buy Model T Ford parts with the same assurance as formerly, knowing that they will give you the kind of service you have a right to expect, and at the same time protect the money you have invested in your car. All Ford replacement parts, as you may know, are made of the same materials and in the same way as those from which your car was originally assembled, and are low in price because of the established Ford policy. So that you may get the greatest use from your Model T Ford over the longest period cf time, we suggest that you take the car to the nearest Ford dealer and have him esti mate on the cost of any replacement parts which may be necessary. You may find that a very small expenditure will maintain the value of your car and will be the means of giving you thousands of miles of additional service. Ford Motor Company Detroit, Michigan
