Before he returned he had traveled
8.000 inlhs, inade twenty-Are speeches,
addressed Thousands of people and
been acclaimed In eight state as the

That was the beginning of It. On bis

plied to all questions by saying that
the presidency was too big a thing for
any man to set about to capture, as It
was too big ror any mnn to refuse.
Now, however, there set In a spontane

POTATO LEAF-ROLL
By W. A. ORTON, Pathologist in
Charge of Cotton and Truck Dio
case and Sugar Plant Investigations.
Introduction
The years 1911 and 1912 have been
marked by the prevalence of Ktato
troubles In some of our Western
States more serious than any hither
to experienced. Such heavy losses
have resulted, particularly In eastern
Colorado and western Nebraska, that
the production of potatoes, generally
one of the most profitable crops for
these Irrigated districts, has been
rendered so uncertain that the grow
ers have been compelled to greatly
curtail their acreage.
The Identification of the disease
responsible for the decrease In po
tato production In the country east
of the Rocky Mountains and west of
the one hundredth meridian has been
in doubt until recently. It was at
first thought to be an aggravated
form of diseases already known,
Rhizoctonla, stem blight, and Fusar
lum wilt, but it is now considend a
tn w and distinct malady called "leaf
roll." This has been common In
Europe since 1905, but ha not hither
to been Identified in the United
St i' tee.
Description of Leaf-roll
As indicated by the name, leaf-roll
Is marked by an upward rolling of
the leaves on their midrib. There,
is usually a pronounced change in
the color of the foliage to a yellow,
unhealthy shade, often tinged red
dish or purplish.
The disease may start early In
summer and be far advanced by the
end of July. The plants do not die
quickly, as they do when attacked by
Fusaritim wilt, but may live nearly
its long as healthy oues. The growth
is checked and the formation of tub
ers prevented. Often no potatoes
are set, or only small ones clustered
around the base of the stem, while
numerous rudimentary tubers are
formed on the stolons.
The browning of the woody pari,
cf the po'uto stem and the presence
cf a brown discolored ring at the
stem end of the tub?rs is not so
much a character of the leaf-roll.
hut is rather to be taken as nn In
dication of the presence of another
disease, the Fusnrium wilt.
The formation of aerial tubers is
sometimes a feature of leaf-roll, but
in other rases Is the result of stem
cankers caused by the fungus Rhiz
octonla. Loaf-roll is considered to be her
8 litary through the seed potatoes;
that Is, If potatoes borne on plants
affected by leuf-roll ar? planted the
resulting crop will be diseased and
usually much worse than the first
: rop.
The cause of leaf-roll remains un
known, though it has been prevalent
in Europe since 1!05 and has been
given much .study there. It is now
believed to be a physiological disor
der rather than one ciused by a
parasite. Many consider it due to
some unfavorable soli or climatic
Condition, but no one lias beeu able
to show what conditions produce it
or how it may be controlled by any
cultural practices.
Leaf-roll an Unsolved Problem
No fully satisfactory remedy for
leaf-roll has been discovered. It pre
4 nts one of our most serious prob
lems for investigation and one which
it Is hoped to push actively as soon
a . means are provided. We have,
however, the benefit of seven years
Of German experience with the same
trouble. The anxiety caused by its
appearance in Germany has been
somewhat allayed with the passage
of time, and the best authority on
potato diseases there even s.ates
that through the awakening of In
terest in better culture and in im
provement of seed the leaf-roll will
prove in the end a b?n?:J to Ger
man agriculturists and their potato
production will be pcrmancn y in
creased. Control Measures
While we cannot recommend any
in ventive treatment with the con
fident assurance that it will be suc
cessful, there- ure some points of at
tack that are strongly to be recom
mended as having ghen the best re
sults el sew he i3 and as being common
sense measures whether disease Is
present or not. Most important of
these are good seed, crop rotation,
and Improved culture.
The feed problem takes first place
In any movement for the betterment
of our potato Industry und particular
ly In these western districts, where
diseases ure extensively carried on
Med. While there may be apparent
exceptions, It is the general rule
that seed from fields affected by
leaf-roll will give a diseased crop.
It 13 therefore strongiy to be recom
mended thut no so d be planted ex
cept that known to come from heal
thy fields. If there are none in the
neighborhood, seed should be brought
in from outside. Ieaf-roll is not
known to occur in Minnesota, Wis
consin or Michigan.
The expense of bringing seed from
distant points and the uncertainty of
getting a vigorous stock of the var
iety desired emphasize the gr:it

and of the variety claimed. Su li
ceriificatu. n should be based on a
field inspection made in early aut
umn, when ths foliage Is still a'ive.
Leaf-rcll eannot be detected by an
Inipeition of the tubers.
In purchasing seed potatoes, those
lufected with Kusanuut wilt should
also be avoided. Any let where
many tuber show a brown, discolor
ed ring when cut across the stem
end should be discarded.
Crop rotation is absolutely essen
tial to permanent potato culture. It
Is a common practice to grow several

There was a time when the book
farmer was the subject of much rid
icule among his neighbors, but of
late th?y are getting over that. By
a book farmer we mean the farmer
who takes the best dairy and agri
cultural pap. a - and studies agricul
tural text books and bulletins from
which they can get scientific point
ers regarding this business of farm
ing. (Jo into any community and you
will find that it is the book farmer
who has made good. You will find
lhat the farmer with the most care
fully cultivated fields, the best build
ings, and he finest stock is more or
less bookish. He studies the game
Just as any other man would study
the game In which he Is engaged.
If any proof were needed of the dol
lar and cent value of reliable agri
cultural information in any of the
rsriottS farm industries It la afforded
by the cow census work, conducted
by W. U. Hoard of Hoard's Dairyman.
He found that the owners of 464
herds Investigated, having six thous
and three hundred and three cows,
were registered as readers of dairy
papers. They fed their cows at an
average cost of $14. 7S, securing $1.42
for each dollar spent for feed, and
had a net profit of $14.54 a cow.
The cow owners, whose minds were
not illuminated or their men hod im
proved through the influRn(e of dairy
literature, had seven hundred and
fifty-three herds, composed of nine
thousand one hundred and twenty-two
cows. They fed their cows for $!5
each, and had an average annual
profit of $1.86 a cow as compared
with the average profit of $14.54 a
cow made by the "bookish" ones. Of
the non-readers 48 per cent actually
lost money in following the dairy busi
ness. Investigations made by the Scien
tific Farmer show similar results a
mong those engaged in general farm
ing. The man who reads the Scien
title Farmer was found to average
higher yields of grain than his non
reading neighbor, in practically ev
ery case. This may be' owing some
what to the fact that men who take
and read such papers as the Scien
tific Farmer are more intelligent and
have bettor Judgments to begin with,
but much of the difference Is due
to the actual knowledge they get
from the books sad papers that they
read. They are hook fnrmerB and
are ready to profit by the experi
ence cf others, although it is printed
in a book.
This same rule holds true in re
gard to an agricultural education, as
shown by the experience of the slit
dents of the Campbell Correspond
ence School of Soli Culture. This is
a school that teaches scientific farm
ing by correspondence the student
does not have to leave home. He
can hold his job or stay on his farm
and take a course in soil tillage, dry
tanning, horticulture, or farm engin
eering just the same. Those who
are taking a course of Instruction
in this school find that their average
yields have increased from 20 to 50
per cent, simply by knowing when
and how to do their work better. It
is book farming, ami they are book
farmers, but they get there. One of
the students of this great agricultural
school said: "I will give you a little
story; it sounds like a fairy tale, but
it is true. Three years ago I did
not know more about farming than
a cat. Now I am considered an ex
p( 1 1 , and others come to me for ad
vice. The first I heard of the Camp
bell system was throuKh a friend who
showed me a copy of the Scientific
Farmer. At the time I was a com
mon hand, hoeing weeds. 1 subscrib
ed for the Scientific Farmer and
studied it. Six months later I was
made foreman on the same ranch.
Thrm I enrolled in the Campbell Cor
respondence School of Soli Culture
and b came a student. Since then
I have changed places twice. First,
I became manager of a large orchard
company, and now I am superintend
ent of a large estate."
This was all due to knowledge
gained from books backed by good
sense.
The Campbell Correspondence
School, located at Lincoln, Nebraska,
affords the ambitious fanner ebasoa
to get an agricultural education si
home. Through this SOhOOl he can
increase his earning power and the
yield of his farm fifty per cent. Ha
can become a book farmer of the
twentieth century, which means an
intelligent, successful tanner who
knows how to do things and why he
does them. A free book describing
this school and Its methods can be
