For a two family house the doslgn here shown has many advantage, among them economy of arraugement. which utilizes every foot of spaco under the roof. Each family has a separate front veranda and main entrance and separate entrance to the cellar, which Is nlso exclusive. The bedrooms on the second lloor belong with the first Uoor apartment. They are reached by a central stairway and hall which connect below with a third bedroom; nlso the bathroom, dining room and reception hall. The main part of the second lloor and the entire third floor combined form an apartment similar In arrangement and convenience to many single family houses.

I I tV U CMAM311 CMAMDUr L J Agricultural Experimentation in Box Butte County Disease in Potato Vines There are several forms of disease in potato vines to which I wish to call the attention of potato grower?. I mentioned one of them last wcelc and recur to it again because of a possible misconception that lias arisen in the minds of several who have observed it. I refer to the brown rot that appears at the bottom of j the growing stem beneath the surface of the ground. When one notes a vine that I looks sickly and pale and the leaves begin to roll slightly in the heat of the day, he will find upon digging away the earth that the disease has attacked the lower end of the stem giving a brown or black color on one side, and sometimes entirely sur rounding it. Some people have thought that this disease was caused by a small borer that works up the heart of the stem. Whether this is true or not will have to be determined by laboratory investigation. In my opinion the two troubles are en tirely separate and distinct though, some times co-incident; that is, both appearing in the same plant at the same time. Prof. Drunur, state entomologist and also ento mologist of the experiment station at Lin coln, has prepared a bulletin giving the life history and methods of dealing with this potato stem borer. I have sent for a number of copies of this bulletin and will have them for free distribution as soon as they come in. In this way any one inter ested may learn all that is known about it. In the meantime Dr. Wilcox is investi gating in the laboratory the brown rot at tho lower end of the stem and as soon as the nature of the disease has been deter mined will communicate his discoveries through these columns. The only other diseases of the vine that have come under my notice are a few specimens of blight, or what appears to be blight. It is barely possible that there are forms of blight in this locality that are not known elsewhere. This will be for tho specialists to determine. For blight, if it is abundant, the only feasible remedy is spraying with liordeau mixture. The blight may be effectually controlled by this method. A demonstration of the efficiency of the sprayer is now being made at the experimental plat north of town. No means of combating the brown stem rot can be determined until the pre cise nature of the disease has been ascer tained. I suggest that where only a few plants in the field are effected with either brown or stem rot or blight, that the plants" bo dug up and burned. These dis eases are caused by a fungus which is propagated by spores. If this fungus is allowed to mature it cau spread the dis ease as well when pulled up as when in the ground. The only way to effectually kill it is to burn the plants. Potato Culture The farmers in this vicinity have under taken more work than they can properly do with a season such as this has been. Many potato fields are showing neglect, weeds are becoming abundant, and evi dently on some fields an attempt is being made to grow a large crop of both potatoes and weeds on the same ground. Of course this is impossible. The weeds if left alone have native virility enough to distance potatoes in the race for life. The cultiva tors should get busy until the weeds are exterminated and the crop is practically made. In my judgment the cultivator with four two-inch shovels on the side is the best tool to use. Many of the farmers are , usiog cultivators with three shovels on the I side and these, though not as good, answer I the purpose fairly well. Under no cir- cumstances would I use in this soil and . under these conditions the old fashioned cultivator two five-inch shovels on the side. It is well at the first cultivating to plow deep with the cultivator but after the first cultivating the implement should not be allowed to run deeper than three inches. The growing plant sends out roots in all directions from the growing stem. These roots are its feeders. 13 y plowing deep after these roots are formed those that reach toward the center of the row are cut off and the plant is thereby deprived of a part of its food and consequently cannot thrive as well or produce as large a crop. All cultivation after the first should be shallow so as not to destroy any roots and frequent enough to destroy all weeds, keep the surface stirred so as to give the roots the proper supply of air and to pre vent unnecessary evaporation. After cul tivating it will repay any one to go over the field with a weeder ,at least once a week. The field should be left as nearly level as possible. When the rows are ridged up a much larger evaporating surface is ex posed and much of the moisture that should go to produce a crop is taken up by the air and lost. WhencuFAifaita Perhaps there is no subject where there is such a difference of opinion as this. I have seen it recommended that the alfalfa be left until it is in full profuse bloom Others advise cutting when the bloom is PROF. E. W. HUNT, DIRECTOR half out, while still others say cut when it first begins to bloom. I wish here to call attention to a factor that must be taken into account in deciding this question. We have here in some fields a disease known as "leaf spot" in alfalfa. This is a fungus disease that effects the leaves, de stroys them and weakens the plants. Its development is very rapid and a difference of only threo or four days in cutting will make a great difference in the value of the crop. It is well known that the leaves are the best part of the alfalfa plant and fur nish the most desirable part ofthe nutri ment in alfalfa bay. Every loss of leaf is a loss of value in the crop. My advise is to ait the alfalfa as soon as this disease makes it appearance. In this way most of the leaves are saved from the disease for valuable animal food. In some fields that I have visited there has been great loss through "leaf spot" which might have been avoided if the crop had been cut earlier. In one field that I visited the leaves were so thick upon the ground as fairly to form a carpet and give one the impression of walking on moquet. If this field had been cut four days earlier and properly handled, that is handled before it became excessively dry, most of these leaves would have been saved for feed and a great loss thereby prevented. Alfalfa leaves have about the same protein feed ing value that bran has and when fed right after the right kind of a harvest are worth as much ton for ton as bran, liran in this market is almost out of sight and it behoves every grower of alfalfa to use every effort to save the most valuable part of his crop.
