REPUBLICANS GATHER IN ILLINOIS
Leaders Getting Ready for the State Con.
vention

Springfield, Ill. May 1O-Al the candidates for
places the Republican State ticket are here and
incoming delegates rapidly filing the hotels.
Nearly all gossip relates TO combinations that are
expected to be made for the convention organiza-
tIon and for naming the head of the ticket The
consensus of opinion is that Governor Yates Frank
O. I.owden and Representative Warner in com
binaton. will try to control both organization and
nomination There Is, however wide difference of
opinion to whether such a combination will be
able the candidate for Governor,
though successful in getting control Of the con
Vention organization.
There is doubt that the three candidates named
will have an aggregate following that will consti-
tute large majority of the convention, but il is
uncertain that the control over the delegates IS
strong enough to give of the trio the nominal
ton. The State Central ComIpittee this after
decided to seat tho Yates delegation from
Sangamon in the temporary organization. This is
taken to signify a Yates-Lowden combination, by
which the Yates and Lowden delegates will be
seated In the temporary organization from practi-
cally all the contested counties.
The reported deal between Yates and Lowden is
that Yates shall have in the temporary organize
ton. all the contested counties except Clinton,
Marion and Rock Island. This will give Yates
three and Lowden thrty-four Of the contested
delegates.

With this the Mayor turned abruptly away, and

paralyzed for unnecessary year by the action of

Others spoke similarly. and sought TO calm the

Sterilized Chambers for Grain.

StSTIt<Su SndnpefS TOT STdIn.
Mr.. VIM. Goodwin, F. R. G. S., who
was for years leading South Ameri-
can grain exporter and inspector. ad-
vocates the shipment of Argentine
corn in chambers sterilized with car
bonic acid gas. In an article con-
tributed to London paper he said:
Some rs years ago Pasteur dem
onstrated that fermentation does not
result from the generation of gases
but from the action of living microbic
organisms; and it is now known to
psychologists that some 95 per cent
OF the germs which cause fermenta-
ton in grain require oxygen as we'll
as certain amount of heat and mois-
ture for their development =
Chemists say that inexpensive COM
positions of a perfectly harmless ma
ture in their after effects on human
food, can be used to sterilize an air
chamberlain Is either to consume
or drive out the oxygen contained in
atmospheric air-and that their appli-
cation to the holds Of a steamer or to
suitable warehouse silos, would only
need reasonable precautions.
The logical sequence of Pasteur's dis
covery should be a radical change in
the method of storing grain and near
ly all other food products, SID it
would appear that air in storage cham
bers either on sea or land, can be
more economically sterilized with car
bonic acid gas than by any refriger-
aIing process"

Prevent Potato Rosette.

Potato rOsette Is a disease that
seems to be spreading rapidly and
many reports are received as to the
damage done by it. The tops are at
tackled, but the tops are the parts OF
the plants that elaborate the food to
make the tubers. OF course if the
tops are injured in the growing sea-
son, the tubers themselves will also be
injured. 1t is therefore necessary to
take precautions to- save the crop
from this deteriorating influence. 1t
seems that the disease is carried over
from year to year on the surface OF
the tubers. The seed can be treated,
however, very effectively. One pint
OF formalin in 80 gallons of water
will prove strong enough fungicide
to destroy entirely the spores referred
to. The seed potatoes should be put
into this solution and left there for
two hours. The potatoes should then
be taken out and dried and cut for
seed. The expense of this treatment
is small, and should not be neglected.
Formalin may be obtained at any
drug store. 1t is sold under the name
of formaldehyde, which consists of 80
per cent pure formalin and 70 per cent
water. That combination is the ba
sis for the solution above. No allow
ance should be made for the water
already combined with the formalin at
time of purchase, else the solution
will be made too strong
