POTATO CULTURE . LATE BLIGHT " AND ITS PREVENTION . In the coming food production campaign among gardeners and allotment holders potato culture will receive pride of place . The abun- dant crop of that humble vegetable was the most satisfactory feature of the food question last year and there is no doubt that the sur- plus which is available hás considerably eased the situation all round . This year the food shortage is not less but more serious and it must be obvious that if we are to win through again , the potato must receive even more at- tention than last year . We would like to support the appeal of Councillor John Wat- kins , Chairman of the Food Production Com- mittee , for still greater efforts . The Deputy Mayor's enthusiasm for the food production campaign is keener than ever and we feel con- fident that his hope of another fine result by Leominster allotment holders will be fully realised . Every man , woman and child in the district , is now experiencing some of the effects of the food shortage and little persuasion should be required in order to get not only all the present garden and allotment ground cropped , but still more land broken up for the production of food , every ounce of which will be sorely needed . So much for the need of continuing and increasing efforts . The next question is how the general desire to help may 1 utilised to the greatest effect . We not only want quantity ( as regtrds the area of land cropped ) but quality ( as regards cultivation ) . Every effort must be made to spread the knowledge of the best cultural methods as widely as possible in order that no labour may be wasted . In this direction the authori- ties are only too anxious to help in every pos- sible way by placing within the reach of every gardener and plot - holder the most up - to- date and reliable information . necessary . In short , spraying must not be re- garded as an infallible preventive of " blight . " It is not . Spraying should rather be regarded abling the plant to tide over a time during as a measure of insurance , as a means of en- which it is specially liable to infection , and if by reason of spraying this dangerous time is successfully passed , the work of tuber formation goes on instead of being checked , als would be the case if the disease got a hold on the plant . The accumulated evidence of many years justifies the conclusion that the cost of insurance by spraying in an average season is amply repaid by the greater yield of healthy tubers . Very explicit and detailed instructions for mixing and applying the spraying fluid given and these will be valuable to those under- are taking such work . The dates suggested for the first spraying in Herefordshire are July 8-15th . Many objections to spraying are fully answered . It would appear that spraying may be actu- ally harmful where aphis have attacked haulm , and also in fume - laden atmospheres . This , however , does not affect this part of the country . the Other means of reducing the damage caused by " blight " are suggested and some of these will find favour locally . First of all there is the choice of clean and vigorous sets , suitable to the soil and free from disease . The stronger and healthier the plant , less liable is it to suffer from disease . The Leomiuster Food Production Committee are rendering an importtnt service in securing 20 tons of seed potatoes of good varieties . Blight can also be to some extent warded off by methods of cul- tivation , including sufficient space between the rows and plants , and earthing up in two stages about the time when the disease is likely to appear . The Department recom- mend the use of superphosphate of lime ( 5 parts ) and sulphate of ammonia ( 3 parts ) at the rate of 3-4 ozs . to the square yard , and also the use of wood ashes in order to produce vigorous growth . Attention should also be paid to the treatment of diseased haulm and care taken in lifting and storing . The booklet briefly reviewed above is a really exellent and practical treatise and we hope that steps will be taken to see that every gardener and allotment holder in the district has a copy .

Perry presented his annual report , viz . , To his Majesty's Justices of the Peace for the Petty Sessional Division of Lower Muns- low , the Hundred of Overs and part of the Hundred of Stottesden in Brewster Sessions assembled this 11th day of February , 1918 .. Gentlemen , -I have the honour to submit for your information my annual report of the con- duct of the licensed victuallers in the Division since last Brewster Sessions held on the 5th day of February , 1917. In the Division there ara 21 public houses and 2 beerhouses , total 23 , to a population of 9,438 ( census 1911 ) , this showing 1 licensed house to about every 410 of the population . In addition to the above licenses there are two shops licensed to sell wines and spirits not to be consumed on the premises . During the year 6 licenses have been transferred . Since last Licensing Ses- sions one licensed person has been proceeded One of the most important things in connec- against and convicted for an offence against the tion with potato culture is the prevention of Intoxicating Liquor Laws , viz . , selling intoxi- " disease " or " late blight , " which wrought HEREFORD'S NEW BISHOP . cating liquor to a child under 14 years of age . such havoc in all parts of the country last With that exception the houses have been When we remember the thousands of conducted without complaint . With reference tons of potatoes that must have been des- troyed by this means ( and the loss in this im- mediate locality was not a trifling one ) all will agree that no trouble is too great to prevent a repetition of such an outbreak this year . We have pleasure therefore in recommending our readers to obtain a copy of a valuable , booklet issued by the Food Production Depart- ment , 72 , Victoria Street . S.W.1 . , entitled " Potato disease ( ' blight ' ) and its prevention . " It is illustrated by remarkable coloured photographs showing the appearance of blight on the leaf of potato ( both upper and under surfaces ) , a map showing the dates ou which the disease was first reported in each county , and a striking photograph showing the advan- tages of spraying . year . The first sign of the disease visible to the naked eye is the appearance on the leaves of dark brown or blackish spots of irregular size and shape , on the under surface of which a DR . HENSON ENTHRONED . Dr. Hensley Henson was enthroned as the Bishop of Hereford in the Cathedral of the Diocese on Tuesday , in the presence of a large congregation . The service was fixed for 11.30 a.m. , but half an hour before most of the seats were already occupied . Special accom- modation had been provided for the Mayor and Corporation of Hereford , and the Freemasons , of whose Order the new Bishop is a Past Grand Chaplain of England . What added to the solemnity of the occasion was the presence of the Hon . Sir C. M. Bailhache , one of H.M. Judges of the High Court , who had been at the Assize Court the previous day . His Honour Judge A. A. Tobin , K. C. , who at Hereford for the County Court , was also present , both judges being in their robes and wigs .

The Millennium is God's final test of man , and as soon as the opportunity is given for man to again range himself on Satan's side against God he does so , but fire comes down and consumes them .. Satan himself is cast into the lake of fire . Then there comes the raising of the wicked dead , and the solemn judgment of the Great White Throne . This is the last of sin and death , for the Heavens and earth that now are are destroyed by fire and God creates new Heavens and a new earth and so at last comes the fulfilment of the petition " Thy Kingdom Come .
