To too many the pure is as a knock
out drop. The preacher preaches a
ood sermon until he interferes with
,ome devil's hypocritical business.
Then "he's done spoiled it."
2. In order to be guided by his
spirit: (a) When his word opposes
your plans then say, "Thy will be
done." and don't kick and bellow like
a cow when his horns arte being
Knocked off. (b) When his word
nds you to new fields, new oppor
tunities, new duty, Just say, "Here
am I, send me. I will go." But
Mine will swell up as though poison
ed and say, "(ro do It yourself.
3. In order to be nowerful:
When you are among the wicked re
joice. Sing and live the pure life
ml you will run the tlevll out of his
boots, (b) When you are in the
Lord's don't be dumb, deaf and blind
and cold, but rejolee because God al
lows a poor devil like you to come
into his house, where you should
give him praise. Say amen, glory,
hallelujah.
4. .In order to make his kingdom
glorious: (a) When you are at work
rejoice alone. As soon as some peo
ple go to work they get mad. put
their ears back like old Tobe the
mule and begin to kick when they
nould thank the Lord fo rstrength
to work, (b) When off duty, join
the chorus, be sociable. You can't
vo to heaven alone nor to hell alone.
You must go somewhere. Join in
the chorus and help Ood'a people to
- nc his praise. Make his house
then keep up your monthly pay
ments, and before you know it you
will have a home of your own. Try
It. Buy a home.

POTATO LATE BLIGHT
STRIKES EASTERN FIELDS
l . H. Icpt. if Agriculture Aiuioiiim
cs That lUiirht. if I'montrolld,
.May Imm 2,000.000 Daily
Potato late blight, a fungous dis
ease, capable of causing enormous
destruction, has appeared in several
states from Maine to New Jersey and
West Virginia, according to the Unit
ed States Department of Agricul
ture. The blight occurred early this
year' and 'reports show that it is more
prevulent than usual. While in some
fields the blight ia already beyond
control, prompt spraying with Bor
deaux mixture will, in most cases,
still be effective, the specialists ad
vise. Unless potato growers spray
thoroughly with Bordeaux mixture,
they fear that the large potato crop
that has been promised will, not be
realized, as late blight, if uncontroll
ed, is capable of reducing the nation
al crop at the rate of 2,000.000 bush
els per day.
Potatoes in the northern states are
just beginning to form tubers. To
produce a large crop the tops must
be kept healthy till frost, as the tu
bers increase in size most rapidly
during the last weeks of the season.
The late blight kills the tops and
causes the tubers to rot in the
grouud. The blight starts in a few
centers in the field where diseased
potatoes were planted. Brown spots
develop on the leaves and a whitish
mildew appears on their underside
Frequent rains and warm, muggy
weather furnish ideal conditions for
the development of the blight under
which the foliage blights rapidly, the
leaves hang blackened aud dead, and
the tubers begin to rot. Dry and hot
weather, on the other hand, tends to
check the progress of the blight, but
growers should spray immediately
and not trust their cropB entirely to
improvement in weather conditions.
As an effective preventive of late
blight Bordeaux mixture has proved
its value for 25 years. Every grow
er from Maine to Michigan and south
to Virginia is urged to spray at once
and repeatedly.
Home-made Bordeaux mixture is
best. Use:
milestone (copper sulphate), lbs.. 4
Quicklime, lbs . 4
Water, gallons r.n
Prepare the copper sulphate fej
suspending It In a gunny sack Must
below the surface of several gallons
Of Miter in a clean barrel When the
sulphate is dissolved, which requires
three or four hours, remove the sack
and stir Into the barrel enough ad
ditional water to make exactly 2.r.
gallons of the copper solution.
Preprfre the llnie by slaking It
slowly and thoroughly in a clean
barrel, strain, and add enough addi
tional Water to make exactly gal
lons of lime milk. Stir thoroughly.
Pour the two Ingredients together
Into another barrel, or. better, dir
ectly Into the spray tank, if it will
hold ,r0 gallons. It is highly im
portant to stir the mixture verv
thoroughly and to strain both ingred
ients before they are combined, ns
otherwise clogging of the spray 1107.
liles might result. Use COpper 01
hronse wire strainer of 18 meshes to
I he Inch. Do not put copper sul--phate
or Bordeaux mixture into tin
or iron vessels; use wood or coppei
containers, mix the Bord m as
needed, and apply at once It is ne
er so good after it has settled.
Where poisons such as arsenate ni
lead are to be combined with Bor
deaux mixture, add the poison after
the two solutions are mixed. Then
stir well.
Those who ttse Bordeaux mixture
frequently and In quantity will find
it convenient to keep concentrated
stock solutions on hand, as these
keep indefinitely If the water which
evaporates Is replaced.
Build an elevated platform to hold
the barrels. 1 The flight before the
day you wish fr commence spraying,
suspend !"( pounds of copper sul
phate to dissolve In a :.( gallon bar
rel of water. Slake r.O pounds of
lime in another barrel Add water
to make 80 gallons of lime milk.
When Bordenui mixture is needed,
si 1 1 iioth stock barrels well and tar
4 gallons from each stock barrel. Di
lute the roppor sulphate in one bar
rel hy adding enough water to make
15 gallons. Dilute the lime milk la
another battel by adding enough wa
ter to make It gallons Stir each
thoroughly Combine the two at Iff
previous directions. Thorough agi
tation is essential in making good
Bordeaux mixture.
