TREAT POTATOES NOW Now that it is potato planting time, numerous inquiries are coming into the Agricultural Office on how to treat potatoes, for many farmers of the County have learend that it pays big dividends to treat potatoes. They can be successfully treated by any one of the following methods. Corrosive Sublimate (4 ounces of the chemical to 30 gallons of water). This will kill such scab, black leg, and Rhizoctonia that are on the potatoes. But to keep the potatoes free from these three diseases, it is necessary to rotate and plant the treated potatoes on new ground. The Sublimate should be dissolved in a wooden or earthen container in 2 quarts of hot water before the balance of water is added. Potatoes should be treahours. They should be dried ted 1 as rapidly as possible after treating. They should be kept in sterilized sacks or bins till planted. Corrosive sublimate solution loses strength with f ounce treatment; therefore, of the sublimate should be added for It is every 4 or 5 bushels treated. helpful to place the treated tubers before cutting in clean crates or sacks and expose to subdued sunlight for a period of 10 days to two weeks. Direct sunlight should be avoided as it endangers the vitality of the seed. Hot Formaldehyde Treatment: The hot formaldehyde treatment may be used with care. 1 pint of formaldehyde should be used to 15 gallons of water, andjhe temparature kept between 121 to 125 degrees F. After 3 minutes exposure in the hot solution, the tubers are removed, piled, and covered while warm for at least 1 hour. The seed should then be dried thoroughly and kept till planting time Greater care should be used in this treatment in keeping the temparature up and in not keeping the potatoes piled for over 1 hours time. Because of this care necessary, they best be treated by local farm bureau organizations or thru neighbors cooperating. In a days time; if farmers will assemble, under their local farm bureau, all potatoes to be planted in a community can be treated. The County Agent will be glad to assist local farm bureaus where these arrangements are made, and his help is desired. one-hal- ci I For Meditation I ooooo By LEONARD A. BARRETT j? g SONS OF RICH PARENTS "NXE of the most Interesting events In the . financial worjd was the promotion of three young men to partnerships In the hanking firm of J. P. Morgan & Co., of New York. The ages of the young men were twenty-nine- , and thirty. Each of the group held a college degree and served several years In the banking business beforj his refnark-abl- e promotion. Such an announcement, startling at first, causes one to wonder what special gifts these young men possessed that earned for them such a conspicuous advancement That they were worthy of promotion and were thoroughly capable of undertaking the duties of their respective offices, goes without saying, for no creditable banking firm retains "sluggards on their staff. It so happens, however, thnt these young men were the sons of wealthy partners of the firm in which their promotions occurred. That influence played a large part In their careers Is taken for granted. We say, good luck to the young men and best wishes for a brilliant future. The fact remains thnt all young men are not the sons of rich parents and therefore do not possess the advantage of the Influence which such a relationship affords. The nine hunout of every dred and ninety-ninthousand must depend upon their own resources and the influence created by the success of their personal endeavors. When such. young men rise to a high place of trust and responsibility we also vote the laurel wreath of victory. It may not be announced in the public prints, but we Instincmen, and tively applaud with pride, hold up their careers as examples for others to follow.

No state prizes are offered to teachers, only the three national awards being given.
