of 'approximately six iniliion' bushels"of~pot_atoes~ and because we neglected tlie'precau_tions` taken 'elsewhere-,V precautions we were advised tof, take, precautions- which we should have taken, ivehave lost a' very large

ing conducted under direction of Professor Murphy of the Agricultural Department. It was shown that! potato rot was due to blight and that blight was pre- ventible byspraying. It was shown also as the result

of actual test that sprayed potatoes yielded on ani

average ninety-sevcn bushels per acre more than un- sprayed potatoes in the same field and planted under exactly the same conditions. "Notwithstanding this; the great majority of our farmers neglected taking this precaution and as a resultso many of our pota- toes are rotten, or ready to rot in transit, that those properly grown cannot be shipped although there is' a bigger demand for potatoes this year probably than-

,ever before: Our _potato crop at the current market' _

-necessary to end the evil. -In theearly months of the

prices would have been worth at least_`$2,4Qo,ooo. Itf~ willprobably be worth less than half of that amount. Over a lniliion;dollars lost through neglect! ' _

This is`not'the beginning of our loss in potatoes-_

\Ve have been receiving yearly _very mucli 'lessgfdr them than our neighbors in-New Brunswick and Nova Scotia simply because we were growing varieties of potatoes that were not- wanted in the best markets. Nova Scotia and New Brunswick farmers have been catering. successfully to the Bermuda and West Indies; markets, selling for- fancy prices while we supplied ati a lower price the cheapest markets in their home-_ cities and'_towns which they did not think it _worth while to bother with. -Even this fall while our far-fi mcrs are getting 40,to-_45 cents a bushél for their po-i tatoes New Brunswick and Nova Scotia farmers arc; selling theirs for $2.25'to $2._4o>pcr barrel of 165- pounds, about 80 to 85 cents, and this because wc arc; not growing the right varieties in suflicicnt quantities. to go to market with. '

The reason we are not growing thesehner varie-

ties is_ that the idea has got abroad that they a-re more susceptible to rot than the blue potatoes. '_ While this is true to a ,certain extent, the _rot can be so far pre- vented asto make the' white potato it very much more profitable crop than the blue. Farmers who have~ta-__ ken the trouble to-spray-'their potatoes atithe pijpperf timcs .have had very! little -trouble _with r_ot this soa- sou- At thc Experimental Firm ivliere spraying ,\vas\“ carried oil ,systematically`”th'e' vines hive.`held'thei‘.' greeness throughout the season and no considerable rot has been observed]-These potatoes have not yet been harvested and no figures are available but it is' expected- that the crop will turn out as usual and will,y' as usual, also show comparatively little evidence of disease next Spring.

It would be interesting to know from our farmers

throughout the province what their experience has been infpotato growing this season, what precaution they took to prevent blight and with what results. There is something wrong and it is only by comparing notes and by mutual help-that the wrong can be right- ed. ' - _

Suggestions

Among some of the most

marked styges to be seen in HoIman’s illinery Depart- ment th-is season are quite large hats, trimmed flat,also very becoming small close

high draped turbans for la ies, which are so warm and serviceable for winter. The“]ocltey" hats for young

smart, made with deep peak at front, closely resembling men’s Quebec shaped cap'. These hats are trimmed at front with narrow ribbon trimmings, and promise to be one of the most popular styles for the fall. The col- ors which will be used most extensively are purple,_win'e and. teledeiiegre (nigger brown); grey is also much gdwaiid. -Gold and Silver

at_ ns are very new_and stylish, -especially 'combined with narrow ribbon edged with gill: or silver to match. This ribbon is very pretty, and one of the new trim- mings in ribbons.

Tams mads of black or

colored velvet, and also chii,ichilla_cloth'will be very popular this season among young ladies on _account of their smart appearance and serviceabilit . Some _of these are ehectively piped __wit_h red and _ plaid, glide others aréwlningly immed with, t%cy,'loiig shaped hatpine; f rfmight _addthat theglli _t_ coriies pre decidedly Wand sty- lSh. especially" _ ii _ trim- grid with large.
