Why DO Potatoes Blight and Rot

1t was supposed until recently that
all of the blighting and rotting OF pota-
toes was due to one and the same cause,
but Investigations at the Nermont en-
pertinent station during the past decade
have shown that there are several
causes which may act separately or in
combination to bring about the destrnc-
ton of the potato crop. If the injury
leads to the death of the leaves it is
called blight; if it destroys the tubers
t. is termed rot There are at least
five kinds of blight and two kinds OF
rot against which the Vermont potato
grower must guard and in addition the
potato scab.
These are described for our readers
by Prof Jones of the experiment station
so as to enable any farmer to know
which disease he has to deal with. They
usually occur in the order here given
1. Arsenical Poisoning. Due to ex-
cessive application of paris green. Com
monty causes brown or black '.burned'
spots on the leaves. These may not ap.
pear until several days after the poison
is applied. There is much more injury
from this cause than is generally sup
posed, and sometimes the plants art
killed outright Remedy: Apply paris
: green in more dilute folm and NOR,
uniformly.
2. Early Blight. This is u fungu
disease which causes spots much lik,
those caused by the paris green. |
may cause complete destruction of tn,
tops. 1t never produces rot, however
Remedy: Spray with bordeaux mix
ture.
8. Late Blight and Rot Every Yer
mont farmer knows and breads this ole
enemy. 1t requires warm, rainy OF
"muggy" weather for its development
but under favorable conditions viii
sweep over a field and destroy ever,
plant in Il few days 1t is fungus
The same fungus causes both the LAT,
blight and the rot. Remedy; Bur
deaux mixture properly applied is ;
perfect preventive and will fully pro
tcct the crop on any soil and in any sea
son. This has been shown by min.
years experience at the experiment
station.
4. Tip-Burn. 1t is very common
especially in dry seasons or when hot
dry weather follows dry period, fol
the leaves to "burn,' especially at the
tips and margins. The trouble is worse
when the leaves are badly eaten by in.
sects. Remedy: Attention to proper
cultivation, and spraying with bordeaux
paris-green mixture.
5. The Brown Rot is bacterial dis.
ease, causing the willing and death OF
the stems, followed by wet rot of the
tubers. This is very destructive in the
south and occurs in the Hudson Valley
OF New York state. The experiment
station experts have not yet seen it in
Vermont, however.

CATARRH OF
THE STOMACH
A Pleasant, Simple but Safe and
Efectual Cure for 1t.

Catarrh of the stomach has long been
considered the next thing TO incurable.
The usual symptoms are full or bloating
sensation after eating, accom- panied with
sour or watery rigings, a formation of
gases causing a pressure on the heart
and lungs, and difficult breathing; head
aches, tickle appetite, nervousness and
a general played out, languid feeling.
There is often foul taste in the mouth,
coated tongue and If the stomach could
be seen it would show Shiny, inhamed
condition.
The cure for this common and obati-
nate trouble is found in treatment
which causes the food to be readily,
thoroughly digested before It has time
to ferment and irritate the delicate
mucous surface of the stomach. To ee-
cure prompt and healthy digestion is
the one necessary thing to do:and when
normal digestion is secured the catarrhal
condition will have disappeared.
According to DIR. Haslanson the safest
and best treatment is to use alter each
meal a tablet, composed of Diastaee,
Aseptic, Pepsin, little Nux, Golden
Seal and fruit acids. These tablets can
now be found at all drug stores under
the name of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
and not being patent medicine can be
used with perfect safety and assurance
that healthy appetite will follow their
regular use after meals.
Mr.. N. J. Booher, of 2710 Dearborn St.,
Chicago, ILL.,, says: "Catarrh is local
condition resulting from neglected cold
in the head, whereby the lining mem
brane of the nose becomes in6amed and
the poisonous discharge therefrom pass
ing backward into the throat reaches the
stomach, thus producing catarrh of the
stomach. Medical authorities prescribed
| for me for three years for catarrh of the
stomach without cure, but today I am
the happiest of men after using only one
box of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. I
cannot find appropriate words to express
my good feeling. I have flesh, appetite
and sound rest from their use.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is the safest
as we'll as the simplest and most con-
venient remedy for any form of indiges-
tion, catarrh of the stomach, biliousness,
sour stomach, heartburn and bloatinG
after meals.
Send for little book, mailed free, on
stomach troubles, by addressing F. A.
Stuart Co., Marshall, Mich. The tablets
can be found at all drug stores.

NICARAGUA CANAL
IS SETTLED
Commissioners Settle Their Disagree
mGntS.
READY FOR THE
PRESIDENT
1t Will Recommend the Lull Route as
the More Desirable.

WASHINGTON, May 18.-The Nicaragua
canal commissioners, Admiral Walker,
Colonel Haines and Mr.. Haupt, are un-
derstood at last to have settled the
serious disagreements which have so
long delayed the report of the commits
sion, and which for time threatened to
make necessary the appointment by the
president of another commission under
the authority conferred by the last ses-
sion of congress.
The compromise effected among the
commissioners results in their fixing
the cost of the proposed waterway, which
is pronounced entirely feasible, at $685.
O0O,0 1t is believed the report will
be signed and delivered to the president
Immediately upon his return from Hot
Springs to Washington.
The members of the commission hav-
ing agreed after the elaborate and
thorough consideration they have given
to the subject, it is believed that the
last objection to the beginning of the
interoceanic waterway has been swept
aside, and that congress may be relied
upon promptly to authorize the Canals
construction.
A modified route is recommended. 1t
was the opinion of the commission that
of the two routes estimated for, the Lull
route was the more desirable, because
it is easier of construction, presents no
problems not well within good engineer
ing precedents, and will be safer and
more reliable canal when completed. sIt
| is also the expressed conviction that the
demensions and form of construction
preferred by the commission were better
than the cheaper form with smaller dim.
ensions, which would undoubtedly call
| for extensive improvements within a
short time after Its completion.

AMERICANS
WILL CONTROL
Generally Conceded That Further OPP
position to Americans is Useless
Filipino Leaders Have Been Ready
for Several Days to Surrender.

MANILA, May 19.-6:4 40 p.m.-General
Luna is reported to be making desperate
efforts to restrain educated Filipinos
within the limits of his self-appointed
jurisdiction from communicating with
the Americans, even to arresting
Encamino and Herrera, two of the most
influential officials coming via San Isidro
today.
This and the removal of the seat of
government to Tarlic, thirty miles north
of San Fernando, may lead to complica-
tions and delay in pacifcation, but it is
generally conceded that further opposi-
tion to American sovereignty is useless
and ridiculous. Neither General Luna
nor Rio del Pillar has sufficient force to
resist or compel submission.
New YORK. May 10. A dispatch to the
Herald from Manila says: Definite
peace propositions from the Filipino gov
ernment are imminent. The Americans
positively have entire control of the stu
alton if the rainy season does not set in
within ten days and make further mill
tary operations impossible, should the
insurgents still prove intractable.
The purpose of the Filipino leaders to
give up the struggle against American
authority was made known by two dele
gates of the Filipino peace commission
who remained in San Isidro when it was
captured and surrendered to Lawton's e
advance guard. In conversation with
American officers they state that the
Filipino forces have been for the last
four days willing to secure peace on any
terms that General Otis might see fit
t. offer. They declare that General Law
ton, by his rapid and energetic advance
from Balirag, has not allowed their
forces a moments cessation from fight.

The delegates add. as their most inn
portant piece of Information, that Agui.
naldo himself will sue for peace through
the peace commission within two days
If he does not 80 act, the Filipino gov.
ernment will repudiate him. as four
fifths OF the natives are weary of the
war and desire an early ending o
hostilities.
