Closo observations have shown that
the potato leafhopper is the cause of
an injury that bcr;ins ns a slight Yel-

The injury progresses; the leaf turns
brown, curls upward and .dies. The
disease spreads front the margin to-

rapidly during dr,, hot weather.
Early potatoes ulna be so checked by
loss of foliage as to reduce all poa-

Bordeaux controls leafhopper and
prevents hopperbnrn. The spraying
must he thoroughly done and must
be applied to the underside of the

THE WISE FRIEND.
Once upon a time -and not very
long ago -there was a brother and
sister who had a friend. A very spec-
ial friend be was, who told then''
stories about men who flew through
the skies over far-flung spaces of the
earth; of boys and girls who had
thrilling and mysterious adventures;
of others who had most unusual
situations confront them, yet managed
to come through their tests with
steadfast and courageous hearts: of
wild animals in deep jangles --how
they lived, hunted, and died. Such a
host of things did their good friend
tell them of, and how interestingly
he told then'' I
Cause the three when their friend
moved away to another town. Brother
and sister were saddened by his go-
ing, for they knew they would miss
his cheery smile and the wonderful
stories and 'amusing anecdotes lie was
so fond of telling them. Then one.
day the postman brought them a let-
ter from their friend, in which he
told them he was sending them The
Youth's Companion so that they
would not forget 'him and that. iii'it
they would find just the sort of
stories they had so much enjoyed
hearing hint tell.
1nd sore enough, a day or two later
the magazine arrived, and brother'
and sister found that it truly dill have
just such wonderful stories of ad-
venture and sport and mystery, and
just such jukes as they lived so well.
And every time tiara new inttnher of
The Youth's Companion arrived, they
wrote a note to their friend and 'told
him how much pleasure the magazine
gave them
