FEW POTATO DISEASES |
PROBLEMS OF IMPORTANCE TO
PRACTICAL AGRICULTURE.
Particularly Heavy Losses Caused by
Late-Blight and Rot in the North
ern States Combatted by
Bordeaux Spray Mixture.
I
(By W. A. ORTON.)
More general and concerted efforts
on the part of potato growers are
needed to combat certain diseases
which threaten to impair the vigor of
the seed stock and to cause the de
terioration of varieties, according to
the U. S. department of agriculture’s
Investigator.
During recent years there has been
much doubt and misunderstanding
among plant pathologists and observ
ant farmers concerning the group of
potato diseases variously referred to
as wilt, leaf roll, leaf curl, Fusarum
blight, bacterial ring disease, etc.,
which in different countries of the
world appear to constitute problems
of Increasing importance to practical
agriculture. Environment has a most
Important Influence on crops In the
several states and in foreign countries.
Therefore, great care is needed to de
termine exactly which method of con
trol is best in each specific instance
where disease is present.
The fact should be particularly em
phasized that the same system of
seed selection and crop rotation that
will free the potato fields of wilt, leaf
roll and curly-dwarf, will not only
bring under control blackleg and some
other diseases, but will Insure the
maintenance of the strains cultivated
in their most vigorous condition and
free from objectionable mixtures with
other varieties.
Losses from the late-blight and rot
occur mainly In the northern states.
This causes particularly heavy losses
during cool and humid seasons. In
the states east of the Mississippi and
north of the Ohio this disease is par
ticularly common. It is now success
fully combatted by spraying with bor
deaux mixture. It is also hoped that
more disease-resistant varieties will
soon aid in controlling this blight.
With the progress of studies of this
problem other potato diseases have
been recognized in the United States.
Some of these, like the brown-rot, had

■ Europe.
The types of disease distinguished
as of some importance in the United
States are the following:
Fusarium Wilt —A disease charac
terized by the wilting of the plant.
Widespread in America, but not yet
identified from Europe. The distinc
tive characteristics of this disease are
a rolling or wilting of the leaves and
premature death of the foliage.
Verticullium Wilt —A wilt resem
bling the foregoing often more rapid.
Present in both America and Europe.
This disease is characterized by a
blighting of the foliage, resulting in
the premature death of the hill.
l Leaf-roll—An Inheritable disease
marked by rolling df the leaves, re
duced yield, and ptheF symptoms.
Pgobably not due to a parasite Cgm

h Mosaics-A condition marked by a
mottling and distortion of the foliage,
present in Europe as well as America.
The effect of Mosaic on the growth
and development of potato plants is
quite marked. Most conspicuous is
the irregular, wrinkled foliage.
Smoothing the Ridges.
A Connecticut farmer recommends
to the Massachusetts Ploughman a de
vice which he says is better than a
board to put on the rear of a cultiva
tor for smoothing the ridges left by
the cultivator. “Take a piece of 2 by
4 hardwood (any length desired). I
use one 30 inches for corn, 20 inches
for potatoes. Bore holes two and one
half inches apart in the rows. Put in
nine-inch wire spikes and bend so as
to slant back Fasten to rear tooth
of cultivator with clamp. If made long
enough it will answer for weeder and
cultivator both.”
Keep the Soil Loose on Top.
Never allow the soil to become hard
and baked; stir it frequently and as
deeply as possible without disturbing
the roots. This will increase its ca
pacity to hold moisture, which is
very necessary to the welfare of the
plant. Soil around leaf crops must
be kept loose to cause them to grow
rapidly, which will make them ten
der.
CHARTERS HELPS THE POOR
BUT DOES NOT ADVERTISE IT.
He Doesn’t Issue Circulars Presenting people’s
Names that He Helped—But He is
Charitable Just the Same.
There (was a case brought to the
attention of the local bar some
months ago, and Charters was one
of the first men to give money. He
opened his purse and gave $5.00,
Billy Sloan was next to give $5.00
and many others gave $2.50. And
Charters’did not tell it.
That is only one instance where
he helpedjthe poor. He didn’t issue
a circular advertising that fact.
There are other cases in Gaines
ville where he gave a man $7.50
whose son was ill, and the father
needed aid.
He didn't issue a circular.
There is another case in Gaines
ville where he helped a widow
woman to S4O. He didn’t issue a
circular.
Another [case he helped a widow
woman; to S2O. He didn’t issue a
circular to telljabout it.
It is a fact that Bill Charters is as
charitable as any man you will find
in Hall county or any other county
in the State, but he doesn’t play
upon the voter's feelings by adver
tising himself as charitable.
In giving to the poor he does it in
a quiet, unassuming manner, and if
anyone besides the receiver knows
of it, the information is not given
out by Charters.
“He that exalteth himself shall
be abased; but he that humbleth
himself’shall be exalted.”
He doesn’t give alms with a loud
noise that people may see it, but
with the quiet unassuming nature
peculiar to himself.
“Take heed that thou do not your
alms before men, to be seen of them,
otherwise you have no reward of
your Father which is in heaven.
“Therefore when thou doest thine
alms, do not sound a trumpet before
thee, as the hypocrites do in the
synagogues and in the streets, that
they may have glory of men. Verily
I say unto you, They have their
reward.
“But when thou doest alms, let
not thy left hand know what thy
right hand doeth.”

The Train that carried the body of
Mrs. Woodrow Willson passed
this city last Tuesday. There were
about 75 people that walked and
were two cars each carrying a trail
er packed full and people standing
and we counted about 40 autos, most
of them were Studebakers, and
there were about fifteen cariges full
of people; there were lots of pretty
flowers given by the clubs and some
by the people of Gainesville; there
already on the train two cars full of
pretty fllowers; the train stayed
about 5 minutes; it is said that the
crowd that attended was the bigest
that had every been to that Depot
at one time —three times as much as
there was when President Wilson
pass through.
A Grow came here from some
where and sat on one of the telephone
poles and talked an unknown lan
guege some of it you could make out
that it was English and some you
could only guess it sat on the pole
for about an half of an hour and
would styed longer if it had not been
for some boys that went up in a two
story building and threw at it and
and caused it to fly it flew from there
to another pole and was frightned
from their the same way it then pro
ceeded to fly in to Mr'. Loupers
porch and a boy named Hoolligan
went to catch it but didn’t because
he was afraid it would bite and only
scared it it flew over on rice street
lighting on poles and houses and
every time being scared away by
boys throwing rocks and it fineley
got to green st and flew in the back
of Mr. Adams house and went from
there to park st where a man shot
at it with a shot gun and wounded
it but it still flew and the last we
saw of it it was in a tall tree suffer
from it wounds.

Deafness Cannot be Cured
by local applications, as (hey cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear, There is
only one way to cure deafness, ar.d that is
by const it vtional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an inflamed condition of the mu
cous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed. Deafness is tht‘ result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal condi
tion, hearing will b(? dost royed forever: nine
cases out often are caused by Catarrh, which
is nothing but an inflamed condition of the
mucous surface?.

4DANIS HAS A RECORD, TOO.
To the people of Hail county:
That evil spirit, which moves a human
being to play an incincere role in pub
lic life for the sake of gaining political
influence or office, and to be a poser in
politics—and especially the evil influ
ence which causes one to pander to
popular prejudice and seek to inflame
reasonless passions in the advancement
of his own cause without regard to how
the public career of another may be
justly, or unjustly affected—appeared
unto its servant. J. O. Adams, and in
the midst of voluntary statements to
others that he would not run for the
senate, and his burning desire to be in
office, he took up his pen and wrote —
and the product was a circular attack
ing me on various grounds, some of
which were so obviously made for the
purpose of prejudicing voters against
me that they surely cannot appeal to
right-thinking people.
But, did you know, that Adams, too,
has a record? Poor fellow; he has al
ways had the people’s interests so much
at heart! House Journal 1912, shows
that his name was recorded as NOT
VOTING ELEVEN TIMES. See pages
166, 385, 941, 982, 984, 1029, 1044, 1046,
1049, 1086, and 1125. The House Jour
nal of 1913 shows that the roll was cal
led for voting 36 times and MR. ADAMS
WAS RECORDED AS NOT VOTING
EIGHTEEN TIMES. See pages 530, 625
778, 785, 942, 1086, 1088. 1091, 1093, 1101,
1137, 1148, 1154, 1186, 1191, 1195, 1219,
and 1222. Don’t Adams have the peo
ple’s interest at heart?
This covers his record of not voting
only two years Just how many times,
during his six years record he did not
vote no one can even approximately
estimate, for he is a past-master at
“vote dodging.”
He says he did not vote for the tax
equalization law. I repeat what I said
last week, why dont he tell us that he
did not vote against it, unless he wants
to deceive someb r dy? If he had been
present and voted against it on its final
passage it would have been defeated, as
85 voted for, and 85 against it —and the
speaker of the house untied the vote in
favor of the law. So you see, if Mr.
Adams had been at his post of duty
and working for the “dear people,” this
measure would have been lost.
He says that a man for the Senate
ought to be able to draw a Bill or an
Amendment on short notice. But why
dont he tell you that he undertook
to draw and pass a Bill to Amend the
Act creating the City Court of Hall
county so that judgements could be ta
ken in certain instances at the first
term, and it was so defectively drawn
that it did not accomplish that purpose j
by any me ins. For this see Acts 1911,
page 251. And he tried again in 1912.
See Acts 1912, page 237—and some good
lawyers are of the opinion that this
Act is defective and are afraid to take '
judgements under it.
Why, in his move to get a new char- {
ter tor Gainesville, he said he copied it,
from the most progressive city charters
in the country. Could not sny ordina
ry man “copy,” as well as he?

structive legislation he has been the
means of passing.
i Why does he ride on a pass in direct
I violation of the laws of his State? If
! he is a Railroad lawyer, whom would
1 he serve in a law making body? Does not
! “the Ox know his Master’s Crib?”
Why does he not tell you what he did
with a certain bill, looking to the im
provement of the morals of the State,
about which he is now being advertis
, ed by the Georgia Anti-Saloon League?
1 Why does he not explain why he, as
; Chairman of the committee the Bill was
referred, to refused to call a meeting
for nearly two years, and why it hap
pened that when the temperance peo
’ pie got so close after the committee
; that they forced a meeting and that
when the committee did meet that
; the bill was transferred to another
' committee?
' Why does he not explain why it is
; that just before each election he has
such great love for the old soldiers,
and during his six years he has not
done any more for them? Yes, his
: great love springs forth in abundance
every two years but seems to dwindle
' away after the election. He actually
voted against paying the pension of an
old Confederate Soldier to his orphan
children, who were dependent. See
House Journal 1911, pages 548-9-50.
The facts are statedin Acts 1911, page
1674. Wm. J. Wood of Whitfield coun
ty, was legally on the pension rolls of
; the state; he became insane, and for
i this reason failed to draw his pension
' for the space of three years, and the
' State was justly due hirn this amount.
But, there was no way to pay it to his
dependent children without a special
I act and a resolution was introduced
• for this purpose. J. O. Adams, togeth
ler with thirteen others voted against
! it, while 149 good Georgians voted for
: it.
Mr. Soldier, is he your friend? Was
'he then? All true Southerners
have a great pride in the Confederate
i Army, and there are fewjmen but what
' would do anything for the old heroes
‘ they could; but why, pray tell me, try
i get the old soldier’s vote in the face of
! such a record as this, upon the pre
tense that you are the only living mor
: tai that can and will help them.
I could show numerous other incon
sistencies in Adams’ record, but I deem
it un nectary. The people know that
he “blows hot and cold” on nearly
every proposition.
The people know just how I have stood
on every measure that has come before
the Georgia legislature. I may err in
judgment sometimes, but I am no “strad
dler,” and I always vote for those
measeres that 1 believe are helpful to
the people and vote against those
which I consider inimical to their in
terests.
If the people elect me to the State
Senate I will continue my best efforts
for my constituents. Thanking the
people for their support in the past,
and hoping that they may see fit to
choose me as their Senator,
Respectfully.

SICKENED BY
CALOMEL
If you ever saw anyone made sick
by calomel you won't want anymore
calomel yourself. There's no real
reason why a person should take
calomel anyway, when fifty cents
will buy a large bottle of Dodson's
Liver Tone—a good remedy that
perfectly and safely takes the place
of dangerous calomel, which is only
another form of deadly and poison
ous mercury.
Dodson's Liver Tone is a pleasant
tasting vegetable liquid which will,
start the liver just as surely as calo
mel, and which has absolutely no
bad after-effects.
Children and grown people can
take Dodson's Liver Tone without
any restriction of habit or diet.
Dr. J. B. George sells it and guar
antees it to take the place of calo
mel, and will refund your money at
once if it fails in your case.
