SPECIAL SHORT COUI18K AT COOTIS
A special winter torm for farm boys,
beginning November 30 and closing
March C, is being offered by tbo
Nobrasku School of Agriculturo at
Onrtis. It is planuod to offer full
somoBtral courses in all tbo subjects
given and thus mako possible (or tho
farm boy, who can bo away from tbo

Beading, an opportunity to do regular
academic work that ho may use toward

nnOWN WREAKS IN POTATOES
Upon nutting across tho stem end of
many potatoos thoro may bo seen a
nnmbor of dark brown spots often
arrangod in a oirolo. This oirclo is
tbo water-conducting or vasoulilr rn
gion of tbo tubor. By cutting the
samo tubor lengthwito tlieso brown
spots aro found to bo tho ends of brown
threads wbiob extend from tbo stem
end toward tho blossom end of tho
potato. It is possiblo that this diauaso
is oaused by a species of Fusarium or
sorno otbor fungus. This and other
potato dlflonaos aro now boing studiod
by tho department of agriculturo
botany at tbo Nebraska Oollogo of
Agrioulturo.

Tho annual presenco in largo num
bers at this timo of tho slato black
colored bugs vat legated with red
arousos, as usual, tho curious interest
of those who aro not acquainted with
their namo or habits. The insect that
is invading residences and many other
buildings is tbo bo older bug. A
report of tbo ofiloo of tbo stato otoino
logiat at tbo University Farm, Lincoln,
says mat tun eggs oi tuo insect aro
deposited tbruont tbo spring and
summer in tbo crovices of tho box older
tree, walls, lumbor, and stones. As
soon as the red-colored young emorgo,
tboy obtain food from tbo box older,
tbo asb, and otbor trees. By fall,
tboy Book tbo crevices of houses and
other placos suitablo for hibernation
qnartors. 'Altho tboy have boon known
to stunt tbo young box elder, thoy
hardly rank h a Hooond-claBs pest to
trees. Tbo only effective method of
fighting tbo bugs is to spray thorn
with kerosono emulsion in tho spring
and early summer whilo ou tho troes.
CARE OF AUTOMOIIILE TIRES
The professor in obargo of auto
mobiles and otbor motors at tbo
Nobrasku College of Agrioulturo offers
, tho following suggestions rogarding tho
oaro of automobile tiros.
Tbo large poroontago of tiro trouble
is duo to tbo laok of suflloiont air
nrossuro. Pressure should bo i main
tnined at 20 pounds por inch of tiro
uiaraotor. tuub, a lour lnou tiro
flhould havo a prossura of 80 pounds.
tuo uoating of the tiro when in ubo
should not bo depended upon to in
crease tbo air prossura suflloiontly if it
is muoh loss than that required at tho
timo of starting. Thoro is littlo
danger of having too high a pressuro
on u now tire, as ovory avorago sized
tiro is tested to 200 pounds beforo
being sold.
If tires aro old, judgement must bo
usod in maintaining tho normal proBs
ure. It two strands, of tbo fabric are
loft, howovor, tho pressuro of 20
pounds por inoh of diametor may bo
maintained.
Tiros should always bo kept from
tuo uirootrays of tbo sun when pos
siblo,
bvery effort should bo mado to
keep moisturo from tho fabric of tbe
rubber. Tiro dough is usoful in keep
ing rcoiBiuro out of tho oraoks and is
not very expensive.

SELECTION AND STORAGE OF SEED
POTATOES
Nebraska potato growers do not
give saflloieut attention to tho selection
of their seo.l potatoes, Tho usual plan
of planting whatever happens to bn
left in the spring cannot bo too strong
ly condomnod, A very fow of our boat
informod potato growers are already
making bill selections. This ia a wiso
practico and will pay for itself in tbe
lnoroasod yields.
Tbo department of agricultural bot
any of tho Nobraska Collogo of Agri
oulturo has alreudy shown tho advant
age of fumigating or otherwise disin
fecting tho potatoes and tlui cellar.
Dry rot can bo prevented by proper
troatmont of tho collar and potatoes,
Tho work of this department has al
ready demonstrated that tho dreaded
leaf roll may bo eliminated nhru the
devolopement of rcsistont varieties,
Oorrospondooco regarding potato
diseases is desired,
WATCH FOR FOOT-AND-MOUTH DISEASE
The foot-und-mouth disease, which
Iibh been the sourco of heavy losses in
several eastorn states, bus not reached
Nebraska hi far as ia known, but farm
ers aro advised by tho Nobraska
College of Agricultuto to wutob for
any outbieak and report it to tho stato
votorinarinn, As tbo diaouse is ex
tromoly infections, tho most rigid care
must bo taken. Tho first symptons
are u chill followed by a fever, and a
day or two later by blistrrs on tho
tonguo nnd mouth. Eruptions similar
to thoso on tho mouth appear at tho
coronot and between tho digits of tho
foot. Ono of tho prominent symptons
ia the oramping of tho jaws and tho
driveling of the saliva. On a cow,
eruptions may appear on tho udder'
Tho blisters aro later ruptured, leaving
soro spots, Tbo soreness of tho mouth
by keeping tho auimal from drinking
and eating, greatly weakens the
victim und often onuses death.
ANOTHER SHEEP FEEDINO RXPERIMENT
For tho first timo in several years,
tho Nebraska Exporimont Station in
oonduoting uu experiment with sheep.
A consignment of 250 western lambs
has beou roooivod and divided into
fivo lots of 50 each. The experiment
will lust 100 days uud will bo for the
purposo of comparing a ration of al
falfa bay with one of com silugo and
also a medium with a heavy feed of
corn in conneotion with alfalfa and
corn silago.
At tho North Platto station a similar
Experlmont has been started with 000
westorn lambs to show tbo results
under western Nebraska conditions,.
