A few friends took It upon themselves to arrange an Itinerary among some of the cities that wanted to see New Jersey's governor, ami he put himself lu tbelr bauds to the ex tent of agreeing to pn a train with the Itinerary In his pocket.

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 next president. That was the beginning of It. On bis western Journey Mr. Wilson had replied 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 spontaneous movement which overnight made blm candidate, willy nllly.

and which within lew weeks bad put his name apparently ahead of all others In popular favor, for the movement was distinctly a movement rather of citizens than of politicians, rather of the people than of party leaders. Early In January, 1012, Governor Wilson was present as a guest at the Jackson day banquet, attended by all the members of the Democratic uatlonnl committee and the most prominent men of the pnrty from all over the country, gathered In Washington, and there made an address so commanding In power that he fairly swept the 800 off their feet with the vision of duty und opportunity which beckoned the party of the people In this hour of national crisis. From that day Mr. Wilson's life has been lived In the full light of publicity. The press hns given a dally record of his acts and words and hns brought to nn end the work of this biography, whose purpose It has been to truce the course of not widely known events which.

In ways not unusual in our political history, hns singularly equipped Wood row Wilson for a chief part in the political life of the nation. The campaign for the nomination developed unusual bitterness Private letters were published and private conferences aired in the effort to beat Mr. Wilson Despite these betrayals of confidence he steadily gained before the people. A combination of the field against him was the last resort of bis enemies. When the convention met at Baltimore, however, he bad more than 300 delegates, and these never wn vercd.

Wood-row Wilson was nnmed for president of the United States ne bad gained constantly from the beginning, past the 400 mark, past the 500 mark, past the 1100 mark, until at list there came a scramble to get aboard the band wagon.

So brief narrative as this could reveal but lnierfect)y the personality whose development it essayed to truce, uor could uny assessment of it, in closing, do much to remedy the Imperfection.

Some few matters of fact might be added a little to round out the picture. Mr. Wilsou's face photographed lu repose is familiar, but It is not the same face animated. His photographs do not show the man whom bis friend know. The lines of sadness which murk the photographs disappear In cou versa tioH, In public Seecli.

A suffusion of kindliness overflows his countenance the moment his attention is drawn. Swift play of expression marks the interest with which he listens. His luugh. like that of the reprobate whom Mark Twniu engaged to applaud during his I rnt lecture. Is hung ou a hair trigger.

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 hitherto 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 growers have been compelled to greatly curtail their acreage. The Identification of the disease responsible for the decrease In potato 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 and distinct malady called "leaf-roll." This has been common In Europe since 1905, but ha not hitherto 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 reddish 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 tubers 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 is not so much a character of the leaf-roll. hut is rather to be taken as nn Indication 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 Rhizoctonla. 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 unknown, though it has been prevalent in Europe since and has been given much there. It is now believed to be a physiological disorder 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 problems 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 Interest in better culture and in improvement of seed the leaf-roll will prove in the end a to German agriculturists and their potato production will be pcrmancn increased. Control Measures While we cannot recommend any in ventive treatment with the confident assurance that it will be successful, there- ure some points of attack that are strongly to be recommended as having ghen the best results 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 particularly 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 recommended thut no so be planted except that known to come from healthy fields. If there are none in the neighborhood, seed should be brought in from outside. Ieaf-roll is not known to occur in Minnesota, Wisconsin 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 I 1 I uttu in 1 1 1 1 1 i ii oi uic potato growers for seed selection and inspection.

It should be poss'ble to buy seeu potatoes accompanied by a certificate a reliable auihor-ity that they are free from disp.ise and of the variety claimed. Su li ceriificatu. should be based on a field inspection made in early autumn, 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, discolored ring when cut across the stem end should be discarded. Crop rotation is absolutely essential to permanent potato culture. It Is a common practice to grow several suet crops in new western land, but this always has one inevitable result diseases are introduced and spread until it is no longer possible to grow potatoes with profit. Must every community and every farmer learn this lesson separately, or will the experience of the uiauy profit the (remaining few mm BOOK FARMING AND THE BOOK FARMER Wive at Seventh tflA Mnn nin I attribute their c-nod health to srnTn EMULSION because Its concentrated nourishment CPnntno na UIHIIUI1I, DOdV-DOWfir nnrl hanmna It Is devoid of drugs or stimulants.

ROWAN WRIGHT, phone 71. tf There was a time when the book farmer was the subject of much ridicule among his neighbors, but of late are getting over that. By a book farmer we mean the farmer who takes the best dairy and agricultural pap.

a and studies agricultural text books and bulletins from which they can get scientific pointers regarding this business of farming. (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 carefully cultivated fields, the best buildings, 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 dollar and cent value of reliable agricultural 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 thousand 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 improved 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 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 business. Investigations made by the Scientific Farmer show similar results a-mong those engaged in general farming. The man who reads the Scien title Farmer was found to average higher yields of grain than his non-reading neighbor, in practically every case.

This may be' owing somewhat to the fact that men who take and read such papers as the Scientific 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 experience cf others, although it is printed in a book. This same rule holds true in regard to an agricultural education, as shown by the experience of the slit-dents of the Campbell Correspondence School of Soli Culture. This is a school that teaches scientific farming 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 engineering 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 advice.

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 common hand, hoeing weeds. 1 subscribed for the Scientific Farmer and studied it. Six months later I was made foreman on the same ranch. Thrm I enrolled in the Campbell Correspondence School of Soli Culture and came a student.

Since then I have changed places twice. First, I became manager of a large orchard company, and now I am superintendent 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.
