February 28.—The i Georgia Experiment Station has, for a number of years, grown Irish potatoes, the seed tubers of which came from several different sec tions of this country as well as from Canada. The data, as a whole, in dicates very clearly that the kind and amount of disease infection i carried in the seed tut ers has a j greater influence on the yield that; : does the section of the country in I which the seed potatoes were i grown. The mosaic disease is one of the troublesome diseases of the Irish potato. This disease is carried in the seed tubers and can be con trolled only by selecting disease free plants in the field. The R?d Bliss or Triumph, so commonly grown for the early crop, is espec | ially susceptible to the mosaic di sense. An inspection of the tubers ; does net disclose the presence of the disease, and growers nave to de pend upon the reliability c-f the seco growers and the dealers. In some states the growers, who make a > eeialty of growing disease free sved j. tatv. ri have their fields in srected by capable state officials who issue certificates to growers of disease free seed stock. Such seed p :..toes are thus sold as cer tified stock which us-,-.fily cc-mnura-a .: premium, over ordinary or com mcrciai s t < • petal.-.s. i ertifii 1 seed pe.tat.v? do .1 always give larger yields than c. tumen seed st.-ck. j.:st cs a registe-rod dairy cow may not gi.-e more milk than s common grade c -w.

DIVORCE ON DECREASE NOW IN BALKAN STATE SOFIA, February 28. —Govern- ment statistics show a steady de crease in divorce from the high peak reached during and just after the World War. The decrease for 1922 was 40 percent. Marriage is a church function in Bulgaria, but after the church 1 grants a divorce the courts adjudi ■ eate questions affecting property, alimony and custody of children. There is no civil marriage in Bul garia. i Years and years ago men bought ‘ homes before autos. Some niep buy loud . speakers, some marry loud speakers, and some loud speakers are elected to -office.
