Important Storage
Diseases Of Potatoes
With the approach of the storage
season the present is an appropriate
time for laying plans to offset the
factors responsible 'for testes due to
storage -diseases of potatoes. Obser-
vations made by the Division of- Bot-
any, Ottawa, provide convincing evi-
dence that -Canadian farmers may lose
as much as 17 ,per cent. of the stared
crop; a significant amount indeed., and
e'specially so in a year of good prima
..(jf the diseases affecting stored pota-
toes the greatest losses are due to
the presente of late blight rot, Fus-
ariuni rots, -Phoma rot and Silveit
sourf.
Late blight rot is the worst disease
of stored potatoes. In fact, it is' so
destructive that we may expect to.
learn this year of leases exceeding 50
per cent. of the stored crop unless
Preventive measures . are - practised.
Fortunately blight rot does not corn-
monly spread. from tuber to'tuberInt
storage. However, in the absence of
good storage -conditions,, this rot
paves the v -a-' for other rots Whitt;
do spread ropidly. Blight, rot develop-
ment is rstarded by a storage tem-
perature not higher than 40 degrees,
P. In fields where blight has been
active, digging should be delayed for
at least ten days. By this time most
of the rot, producing spores will have
died and infested tubers, may be de,
teeted and discarded, the remainder
of the crop being stored with com-
parative safety. •
The presence of Fusarium rots de-
pends largely upon the condition of
the .potatoes entering storage. Crack-
ed and bruised tubers offer acaess to
the organistma of the roots. The pres-
ence of clay on the potatoes. favours
the progress of these rots by inter-
fering with air circulation and by
Maintaining the correct water require-
ment of these fungus plants. It Is to
be recommended, therefore, that pot-
atoes intended, for winter storage be
as clean as passible and free froni all
injuries.
Phoma rot is due to a fungus which
enters the potatoes through the ins
jurleal assoolated with. Powdery scab.

MILK, THE LIFE -GIVER
The best of all fttods. Of all foods
thp, most dangerous.
Of the sextette of essential foods,
milk,' meat, hsh, eggs, negeta,bles and
.fruit, milk Is the best and most ufil,
vessall-y-ausefula it- ha the.

oil is the grass of the sea, elaborated
in the liver of the sea -fish. It is the
beat of all infant, foods and in a Mau-
dred ways enters into 'the diet of the
adult.
But milk is encumbered by dan-
gers along all the' 'extensive route
from cow to the conaulner. From the
dirty flanks of the animals', the un-
clean an,d dusty stables', from dirty
utensils, dirty .fingers, fingers laden
with disease, come danger. The heat,
the dust .ef transanirtation, interior
dairy methods and finally exposure
to the sun on. the back steps of the
tenement, contribute to •render this
product dangerous to the user. There
is another dangerous factor attending
milk. It is one of the best mediums
for the growth - of germs of disease:
A combination of heat and a few bac-
teria produces millions; of germs In
short order.
Every sixth day' in Canada and the
United :States, Someone diet; from the
effect of dirty milk; every eighth 'day
there is an epidemic of sickness from'
the same cause. •
What are some of the milk illness-
es? They are, seen in the experience
'of us all: tuberculosis, both bovine
and human, undulant fever, typhoid
'fever, the devastating summer com-
plaint of babies, all the infectious dis-
eases, cholera and dysentery may be
spread through the medium a infect-
ed milk. The City: of Montreal, less
than 10 years ago, had within- the
space of a few months 5,000 cases of
typhoid and 500 deaths, the cause of
which was unerringly traced to the
milk supply of the -city. Many a
mother mourns the loss of her infant
through a diarrhoea inspired by the
same cause. The majority of our
cripples—young persons with Minch -
back, hip -disease, joint disease—are
produced by tuberculosis in: one form
or another. Mitch of this is due to
infected milk.
How may these dangers and their
disastrous results be prevented? Is
it possible !secure, a safe milk sup-
ply? 'Undoubtedly.' The means are
simple and within reach of everyone
whether he be a dweller in the large
•city or of the remotest part of the
country. The remedy for the dangers
incident to dirty milk is pasteuriza-
tion. In. well-managed cities all the

a serious matter. A little orange

WHYa PREVENT COLDS?
Do you ever bear of people having
Pneumonia, Bronchitid, Pleurisy, Tub-
erculosis or Influenza without having'
a Cold 'first? Almost never. Usually
they have thad repeated colds. If the
patient goes to bed. when -the first
(suspicion of a cold appears, then it
is probable that these other diseases
would not deielop. But he says that
he "cannot go to bed." Next day, he
is warse. By another day he has to
go to bed whether the will or no, and
he may -pay for his neglect with his
life.
Other diseases which follow colds
and are largely caused by Colds are
Tinsilitis, diseases of the ears, mid-
dle ear disease, mastoid disease, dis-
ease of the different sinuses connect-
ed with the nose and face—an of
them painful and dangerous diseases,
as well as bard to cure.
Another reason Why we should pre-
vent colds and isolate the patient in
bed who has a cold is that all the
diseases moat dreaded in childhood
begin the same way as a oold and for
the first day or two we cannot tell
whether the child has a cold or one
of these diseases. Measles, whoop-
ing eough, scarlet fever, .diphtheria,
infantile paralysis, all begin •in much
the same way—with headache, sore
throat, water running from the eyes
and nose and general malaise. These
symptoms are the first to appear. So
-that when we put the child to bed in
his own room and take care of him
and keep every one else away from

These diseases often have serious
consequences. In measles the lungs,

let fever the kidneys and the ears',

child may never be "really strong
again.... It is always better to take
care of the ,child from the: first, whe-
ther he has a cold, or whether he
may have one of these other diseas-
es. It has recently been shown that
a ,dangerous germ which is found in
the' nose and throat of many persons
sufferin'g„ from colds. is the cause of
.most cases of puerperal fever or
childibecl fever. Puerperal fever fs,

priHROUGHOUT Canada, life insurance
1 policyholders and beneficiaries should realize
the,menate to their own and the national welfare
that lies in extreme and unjust legislation.
These policyholders represent 50 per cent. of
the electors—federal and provincial. Through
the institution of life insurance, they. have so
pooled their resources that their collective interest
can withstand attacks that would bring financial
disaster to the individual.
Despke war, epidemic, panic and depression,
life insurance has met ' every policy obligation
promptly and in full.
Despite the financial disturbance of the past
six years, it has distributed, and continues to dis-
tribute, to its policyholders and beneficiaries, over
$500,000 every working day.
Seventy-five per cent. of this money has been,
and continues to be, paid to living policyholders;
the balance to beneficiaries.
Life insurance is the greatest co-operative
business in Canada. No one doubts its strength
and stability. No one .questions the prudent and
intelligent direction of its affairs.
It is the guardian of the hard-earned savings
of 3,500,000 linen and women in all walks of life.
Today there are forces in Canada that menace
the welfare of these people. These forces would
penalize their ,savings and impair their invest-
ments through legislation which cancels public
and private debts — regardless of the debtor's
.to piy—and which tends to destroy the
ownership of public and privase property.
The interests of life insurance policyholders
and beneficiaries — as of all other citizens whose
savings are invested in one form or° another in
Canada — demand that promises to pay be oh.

.,
earned savings which safeguard the homes and
