JOURNAL PUBLISHED ELECTION EXTRA The election extra, . published by The Jackson County Journal, Sun day morning, and carrying the vote of the county by precincts, was in every township in the couuty, save four, before three o'clock, Sunday morning. The Journal regrets that it was , an impossibility to reach the four missing townships; Cashiers, Canada, Mountain and Caney Fork, with its extra, Sunday morning, and that it was impossible to distribute the papers to every man's porch i the county. Our l'riends will readily s'ee that it was inqwesible. ? However we covered the town of Sylv?, pretty thoroughly, placed the paper in every mail box along the main road?, on the {torches of many people in the county, who live on the main highways, left bund'es at |>ost oft'ices, filling stations, stores, forks of roads, and other, convenient places for the people who live off the main highways. There was no charge made for the extra, and we covered the county as thoroughly as jtossible. We hoj>e you got your copy, Sun day morning. If you diidn't we re gret it. The whole Journal force is proud of the achievement in getting the whole election story to fie p:~-' pie at such an early hour; a news paper work that was accomplished by no other weekly in the state. It isi the aim of the Journal to give Jackson comity the best weekly ncwspa|>er in North Caroltim. We hope our efforts are appreciated by our readers, and that, we' ofcn have the full cooperation arii^'support of everybody irf Jackson county. our efforts; anrl we appreciate the large number of subscriptions that are rolling in .without solicitation.

TILSON Thc production of Irish potatoes per acre can be materially increased by spraying or dusting. The devel opment of the tubers is dependent on the vines? the laiger the foliage and the length of time it can be kept green are factors that influence the development of -the tubers. Foli age diseases and the pota|^ bugs help to cut sbwt the> life of the vine. The results of spraying potatoes at the State Test Farm, in Bun combe County, over a )>eriod of five years, has shown a gain of 51.6 hush els per acre over unsprayed potatoes}. The cost of this spraying by using applications, has averaged around $7.67 per acre. For r.a early crop us ing a horse drawn sprayer, the cost has been $4.33 an acre, making three applications. This cost includes the labor. In one mountain county where dusting the patatoes is the -more general practice, the cost has been $7.00 to $10.00 n acre ? depending up on the number of dustings and size of vines. Time consumed at each spraying was 1 1-2 to 2 hours, using a Fan Type Duster. This cost in- i eludes labor. . MATERIALS TO USE IN SPRAY ING : ? For the diseases which are Early and Late Blight, Bordeaux Mixture consisting of 3 pounds of blue stone, 4 pounds of lump lime or 6 pounds, of Hydrated lime, to 50 gallons of water is used. If po tato bugs and fcla beetles are pres ent use poisoned Bordeaux Dust, ent add 2 pounds of either Arsenate of lead or Calcium arsenate to the ' mixtiaY. MATERIALS TO. USE IN DUST ING: ? Use Bordeaux Dust for con trol of blight and if hugs, are pres Some of our mountain growers use a poison dust made by mixing 4 ]>ounds of Calcium arsenate or lead arsenate to the 40 pounds of Hy drated lime and substitute this for one of the regular djustings of tlitf non-poison Bordeaux dust when the hugs are plentiful. A prepared poi son^dust can he bought. WHEN TO SPRAY AND DUST:? Begin when the vines are well start-1 cd with a minimum number of apli eations of three, more if rains arc frequent. Since late blight usually after sending a few days with h<*r ( sister Mrs. Hunter in South Carolina. Miss. Eva Estes toook dinner with Miss Hicks Ashe, Sunday. We are glad to hear that Mr*.
