URGES YOUTH
NOT TO STRAY
Roger Babson Speaks of Opportuni-
ties in Canada—Better Than. in
U. S.—Economist Convinced that
Young Men Better Off in Domin-
ion.
Toronto, Ally 5—The young fel-
low who leaves Canada for a bigger
job .in the United States nowadays
is penny wise and pound foolish, in
'che opinion of Roger W. Babson,
head of Babson's statistical organiza-
tion. His analysis of present condi-
tions is that anyone who makes such
a move is sacrificing much more in
future prospects than he gains in
immediate advantage. He arrived
here Tuesday night in the course of
a tour of Canadian cities.
Inevitable Result.
It always strikes me as unfor-
tunate that we have so many of your
capable young Canadians coming
over to the States—unfortunate for
them, he said here today, "What
happens is that they come to the
States, fall in love with an American
girl, marry and remain in the Stats
for good.
"What they overlook is tha'c, while
a young man can earn more in the
States than in Canada just now, he
has nothing like the same opportunit-
ies for growth and advancement. The
United States is working virtually at
full capacity today and there is not
the room for dimension there that
there is in Canada. I do not mean
I would advise a middle-aged man to
leave the States and come 'co Can-
ada, but I certainly would not advise
any young man to leave Canada for
the States, He is infinitely better
off in this country.
"All you lack in Canada is men
for it is men that make values, The
'United States had just as much coal
and iron and copper and land a hun-
dred years ago as she has today.
She is more prosperous now, though,
because she has more men.
MAKES COMPARSION
"You Canadians ought to see to
it that you keep your young men,
particularly those who have the
'training or ability for leadership.
Here is a point to remember; In the
United States 20,000,000 workers are
employed under the direction of 40,-
000 executive -500 workers to one
executive. Therefore, when Canada
loses one young man who has in him
the :makings of an executive she loses
potential employment for 500 Men."
The United States Mr, Babson des-
cribes as being in the midst of a per-
iod of 'profitless leresperity.' He
did not predict any real ,depression
in business there) but he expected
the noxa 12 months to be 4pieter than
the last.

CONTROLLING LATE

.Maritime Provinces, it is worst dur-

jec'c to the disease. Spores which fall
from the leaves are washed into con-
tact with the tubers and cause infect-
ion, which develops in the form of '
purplish areas which become sunken
at digging time, or later in storage.
The flesh takes on a rusty brown col-
our which extends normally into the
tuber about one-fourth of one inch.
This condition is known as dry rot.
Successful control of this disease
is dependent upon thorough spray-
ing of the plants with Bordeaux mix-
ture. Five to seven applications are
necessary, starting when the plants
are six to eight inches high and con-
tinuing at intervals of eight to ten
days throughout the growing season,
In cloudy weather spray every week.
Spraying operations should be per-
formed with three nozzles 'co the row.
One nozzle directs the spray down-
ward, covering the lower surfaces of
the leaves. The pump should be cap-
able of delivering the spray under
not less than 150 pounds pressure.
The formula for making Bordeaux.
Mixture is as follows:
Bluestone (copper sulphate) .. 4 Ib
Stone lime 4 lb
Water 40 gals
It is not advisable to use a stronger
solution. If greater efficiency is de-
sired increase the pressure and num-
ber of nozzles to the row and go over
the field a second time in an opposite
direction.
Thelduestene must be dislved
and the lime slaked in ditr,r,111:

contain ono pound of bluestone.
Sieke 10 pounds of stone lime in a
0051>11 amount of water and make up
'to 10 gallons. Each gallon of water ,
will contain one pound of lime,
Bordeaux mixture can now be
made up directly in the sprayer by
filling it half full of water, and, if it
has a capacity of 40 gallons, add two
gallons of the stock solution of
bluestone and two gallons of the
stock solution of lime, ate)which
the cask can be nearly filled with wa-
ter and two gallons more of each
of the stock solutions added. If the
container is not full add the neces-
sary amount of water. If the sprayer
has a larger tank it is merely neces-
sary to add proportionate amounts of
the stock solutions.
While spraying is the essential fac-
tor in controlling blight, other pra-
ctices are exceedingly profitable.
Experiments performed at the La-
boratory of Plant Pathology, Experi-
ment Station, Charlottetown, Prince
Edward Island, have shown that
keeping the tubers well covered with
earth largely prevents 'blight when
blight is severe. In late September
or early October it has been found
profitable to kill the tops off with a
strong solution of bluestone (15 Iles
to 40 gals. of water). By delaying
digging for two weeks after the tops
are dead, much blight rot will be a-
voided.
Potato growers should look upon
spraying as a business proposition. It
is one of the necessary operations for
the successful culture of potatoes and
should not be neglected.
