' In 4hl? way it. continues from yearto year. , Since thia troul^isdmo dlaeuBO is spread .through the Blips which grow from dlBeaaed potatoes, it ia very | necespary at this time of the year j that, wo secure seed potatoes for bedding which are free from disease. Where no such Heed potatoes are available, it is advisable to plant a small portion of the patch from I the earliest slips you can get and j tihen an soon as these put out vines ?lake cuttings from the vines with which to finish the planting. Black ?ot is a rootdisease and vines tak- j t> n trom diseased plants will pro- I dure o. her plants free from disease, ! Wlvre the disease is present, it in ?f course necessary to practice a rotation. When you grow sweet po- 1 tain oh free from disease, you will find that, it Is an eaSy matter to keep them.

It is quite ;i serious proposition to ja great many people who were em ployed in these mills, as well as to business generally in (Jeorgotown I and vicinity, as this was the chief i industry In this section, but tho | management has announced that the j work of rebuilding will be started | at once, antl that the two mills | which were not burned will bo run j day and night, so it Is hoped that i It will not turn out to bo as serious i as was at first anticipated. Owing to tho faot that most of 'flie t pumps woro put out of commission | during tho early stage of tho flro very little could be done to check ? t ho flames.
