GLASS In GOOD DEMAND.

The Glass Wdrkers Close Two Days Con-
vention-No Agencies to Be Established
Throughout the Country-Every Dis
trict Represented.
The Western window glass manufacturers
who have been in session at the Audi
torium in Chicago the past two days ad-
iourned Yesterday. William Loefder, OF
Pittsburg, who acted as secretary, said to q
representative of The DISPATCH that the
gathering was one of the regular meetings
of the organization, and that it was held for
the purpose of receiving reports, discussing
the situation and determining the prices to
be charged for the product. The reports,
he said, indicated that stocks are unusually
low, and the demand for glass is extremely
heavy for this season of the year.
''I do not know how to explain this, he
added, "unless it is because many building
schemes which were delayed id the early
part of the year by strikes have been re-
'sumed and are being pushed with unusual
vigor."
He said that it had been decided to affirm
the existing list of prices, with eighty, ten
and five as the extreme limit The scheme
of establishing agencies OF the combine at
Pittsburg and other points for the sale of
glass to consumers at rates to be fixed by
the manufacturers, Mr.. Loeff1er said, has
been given up. That was talked OF,
but we came to the conclusion that
it would be best not to attempt it and the
product of the factories will reach the pub
lie through the brokers, as heretofore.
After adjournment committee Of the
Association remained in session for some
time. The attendance at the meeting was
large, all districts being represented.

the future.

CLAssED as A PLATE MILL.

The Wages of a Youngstown Firm Reduced
From 20 to 40 Per Cent.
A special from Youngstown says that the
friction developed between the Mahoning
Valley Iron Company and the Amalgamated
Association regarding the classification of q
mill, which has been the subject of conten-
tion for several months, was settled this
afternoon by the Executive Committee
classifying it as plate mill. The crew en-
ployed on it have maintained that it should
be clsssed as a jobbing mill, while the COM
pany has asserted that it was a plate mill
and only plate mill prices should he paid.
Under the decision the wages of those en-
ployed on it will be reduced from 20 to 40
per cent as compared with the prices that
would obtain if it were jobDing mill. 1t
is expected that after eight months idleness
the mill will resume next Monday.

POTATO CULTURE.
The Soil Must he Worked Deep to Secure
Good Results.

tne SOIL Must BE worried Deep TO securS
Good Results.
Two of the most important items in
the growing of good crop of potatoes
is to have the soil fine and mellow
when the seed is planted, and to keep
it in this condition during growth.
To secure the best results with all
root crops, it is an important item to
work the soil deep and thorough, and
usually the more fully this is done the
better will be the growth and yield of
the crop. In nearly all cases, the more
fully the soil is prepared before the
seed is planted, the easier the work
will be of keeping in proper condition
afterward. The harrow can nearly al
ways be used to good advantage in a
few days after planting the seed and
then once again as the plants show we'll
above ground; this will aid materially
In killing the weeds and keeping the
soil fine and mellow.
In using the cultivator the first time,
care should be taken to work reason
ably deep and as close to the plants as
possible, and at each subsequent cult
vation work little shallower and a
| little farther from the plants. A FIVE
shovel cultivator, using one horse, is
one of the very best implements for
:ultivating potatoes; another is two

and yield of the crops
Potatoes require considerable mois-
ture to make the best growth and
yield, and by keeping the surface level
and in good filth, you aid materially to
retain moisture in the soil. Another
advantage in keeping the soil level is
that the cultivation can be repeated as
often as may be considered necessary
for the best growth and thrift of the
crop, and when the soil is weedy this is

SPRAYING FOR FRUITS.
Valuable Hints on the Proper Use of the
Various Fungicides.

Nhiuapit Iihts on the PROPER use Oh the
Various Fungicides.
A. c. Hammond, secretary of the Illi-
nois Horticultural society, is the pio-
neer in the method of spraying fruit
trees. Much has been written concern
ing this subject, yet it is one which
seems to bear considerable discussion.
Mr.. Hammond says that in spraying
for cooling moth and all half-eating in
sects, London purple is the cheapest
and best material. He uses one pound
to $50 gallons of water for the first ap-
plication, and for the second, ten days
later, adds forty gallons more of water.
II third spraying is done (which is
seldom necessary he adds forty gallons
more, reducing it to one pound to 26O
gallons of water.
The leaves of the pear trees are less
sensitive to arsenical poisons than the
apple, while those of the peach and
plum are much more so, which makes
spraying for the curculio different
matter. While no exact rules can be
laid down. enough is known to warrant
the assertion that this Insects depreda-
tici Nuii w SS'iihdS'd ny inllIlOIS VI
dollars, and it is as safely true that the
pests can be eradicated with poisons.
For the peach and plum Paris green
should be used, not stronger than one
pound to $50 gallons of water. This
weak solution should be applied fire.
quently during the curculio season.
Some seasons scab causes half the
apple and pear crop to be worthless,
and peach and plum and grape rot Of
ten destroys large portion of these
fruits. That these diseases can be over
come by the use of fungcides no one
who has given the subject careful at
tention for a moment doubts, but it re-
quires more intelligence and persever-
ence than the use of insecticides. Scab
and fruit rot is caused by minute par
asitic plant, and the application of cop
per solution kills the growth and of
course prevents the disease. TO obtain
the best results with fungicides it is
best to begin early and spray every few
days, as the condition Of the weather
may render necessary, until the danger
point is past. A ive-acre orchard OF
200 trees can be sprayed at a cost of $40,
including pump Gay Davidson, in St.
st. Louis Republic.
