j. W.. Owen comes before the
electors of Canton for re- endorse
ment Of his long and faithful ca

faithfulness ,limpartiality and in
tegrity are the characteristics the
public want in public servant.
Ali these we believe Mr.. Owen
possesses & he can Oxford to and
does stand on his record. A pub
lie official. like a good horse or
any other useful thing we know
to be all right, is what we want,
regardless of any extraneous
conditions or circumstances. If
elected the peace and welfare of
the city will in the future as in
the past be in safe keeping.
W. M. Yandell, who seeks the
mayoralty at the hands of our

way to make an honest, faithful
and acceptable official. He car

idential elect0rs-at-large without q
contest
The selection of chairman of the
Republican state central committee
brought out rather peculiar contest.
1t was pretty generally beEeved that
Mayor Pingree, of Detroit, desired the
selection OF Gen. Alger, while his oppo-
nents in the gubernatorial race favored
Hon. ID. NJ. Ferry, OF Detroit, but when
the two were named communications
were read from each declining the
honor. Nevertheless the various dis
tricts continued to support either one
of these two without naming another
candidate, and finally Gen. Alger's
name was withdrawn and Mr.. Ferry
elected with great enthusiasm.
Resolutions of thanks to the chair
man and secretary of the convention
were adopted, and then with three
great big cheers for William Mckinley,
of Ohio, the convention adjourned.

Agriculture In Central Colorado.

What is called the "Great Divide
experimental station, located at Monu'
ment makes report on the results OF
their experiments for number oil
years. The summary says:
1. The best results follow sowing one
and one-half bushels of oats to the
acre.
9. Eight to ten-inch plowing is better
for oats and potatoes than 4-inch plow-
ing.
8. Bromus inermis is the best grass
for the Divide region.
4. The American Wonder, Peoples
and Rose Seeding are the best varie-
ties of potatoes for field culture.
5. Potatoes planted 8 to inches deep
on soil plowed to 10 inches deep, give
better results than any other method
tried.
6. The best results are secured when
potatoes are planted between May 18th
and May Goth.
Z. The time to sell potatoes is when
they are taken from the ground. Thus
a loss of 16 per cent in weight, in six
months, is saved; also loss in size,
the smaller potatoes shrinking below
marketable size.
8. That farmer can better afford
to take 80 cents per 100 pounds for his
potatoes in the fall than to keep them
for a Accent price in the spring.
9. All ground should be well plowed
before potato planting begins.
10. Field corn Is an unprofitahe crop
at this station.
II. Under proper care, cottonwood,
box-elder, and ash trees do well.
IL. Further experiments are neces-
sary to give more definite information
on all lines of experimental work un-
dertaken at this station.

Prevent,on of Potato scab.

II person were tol. how he could
increase his yield of potatoes with
but little additional labor. and that
all at one time. so that he could by
this extra attention get a larger har-
vest and a more marketable crop, and
were convinced that the statement was
true, he would not be likely to neglect
the advice. Exactly such piece OF
information is the corrosive sublimate
method of treating seed potatoes TO
prevent scab.
Potatoes that have rough, spotted
surface, would have been larger if,when
growing, they had been kept free from
the germs that cause the scabby spots,
and many worthless potato might
have been marketable If 1T had thus
been well grown. If possible, potatoes
should be planted in ground that was
not devoted to root crops the preceding
year, and they will then escape the
germs that lived over in the soil from
the last crop. But in any event, germs
will be introduced into any hill with
the seed tubers at planting time unless
precaution is taken to first destroy
them. For however smooth the tubers
look, there are almost always some
germs lurking or their surfaces, ready
to begin operations upon the young
potatoes as soon as they are set. Un-
less the season is very dry, or other
wise unpropitious for germs, the crop
will suffer from them in the way or
smaller and less attractive tubers, hav-
ing lower market value.
The method of killing the germs and
securing the crop is very simple and
inexpensive, and any potato grower
who has not yet tried it should not
fail to do so the present season. II
given trial, it will not be again neg
lected.
This method has proven to be ell
that is claimed for it through half
dozen years of trial. 1t is employed
by many of the foremost potato grow
ers of the country, and has uniformly
given satisfaction. Whoever is really
desirous of increasing the quality and
quantity of his potato crop would there
fore do we'll to give it fair test.
The following treatment is recon-
mended on the basis of experiments at
the Indiana experiment station: Put
two ounces of corrosive sublimate "a
poisonous substance, that needs to be
handled with caution) into hot water In
a stoneware or glass vessel. When dis
solved, put it into wooden tub or bar
rel and add water enough to make tf-
teen gallons. Into this put the potatoes
intended for seed and let them remain
for an hour and q half or two hours.
After taking out of the bath, cut and
plant as usual. The same bath may be
used several times, but as 1t is con-
stantly growing weaker the potatoes
should be left in longer, or some fresh
solution should be added. Do not use
metal vessels, and do not leave the
material where persons or animals may
drink it. J. G. Arthur, Botanist,
Indiana Experiment Station.
