nrarketinc Potato Crops.

Tn line with the classic case Of the
oyster shippers, cited by President
Hadley of Yale University In his book
IN Railroad Transportation, is the case
of the Aroostook potato growers
brought by President Tuttle OF the
Roston & Maine Railroad before the
Senate Committee on Interstate Com
merce. Nothing could better show how
a railroad works for the interest OF
the localities which it serves.
A main dependence Of the farmers or
the Aroostook region is the potato
crop. aggregating annually eight TO
ten million bushels which find a mar
ket largely in Boston and the adjacent
tbickly settled regions of New Eng
land. The competition of cheap water
transportation from Maine to all points
along the New England coast keeps
railroad freight rates on these pota'
toes always at a very low level.
pototoes are also a considerable out
nut of the truck farms OF Michigan
their normal market being obtained IN
and through Detroit and Chicago and
other communities Of that region.
Not many years ago favoring sun ana
rains brought tremendous yield OF
potatoes from the Michigan helds. AT
normal rates and prices there would
have been glut of the customary mar
kets and the potatoes would have rot
ted ON the farms TO help the potato
growers the railroads from Michigan
made unprecedentedly low rates on
potatoes to every reachable market,
ever carrying them in large quantities
70 n place so remote as Boston The
Aroostook growers had to reduce the
rrlce Oh their potatoes and even then
could not dispose of them unless the
Boston G. Maine Railroad reduced Its
already low rate, which 1t did. by
means of these low rates, making pos
sjble low prices, the potato crops OF
both Michigan and Maine were hnaiiy
marketed. Everybody cats potatoes
and that year everybody had all the
notatOes lie wanted.
While the Michigan railroads madc

cntive board in the matter of Sunday
opening. The Exposition will be CLOSED

TO FIGHT SMUT.
Col R. T.. JudsOn Suggests Effec-
tive Remedies.

Last year FIVE threshing outfits
valued at $l2 900 were destroyed by
smut fires in Umatila county. The
prevention of smut is one of the most
important questions now before the
farmers.
Col. r. G. Judson, industrial agent
of the O. r. & N. system, has made a
special study OF smut prevention and
offers the farmers of Umatila county
several excellent treatments for smut.
all of which are said to be highly ef-
fectve.
The following treatment is taken
from the bulletins of the South Dakota
experiment station and is highly
recommended by Col Judson. The
bulletin in part is az follows:
Smut is a disease transmit ed from
one generation Of plants TO another by
means of minute spores. At threshing
time the smut, which consists of
mvriads Of spores, is scattered through
the gam, the spOre terminating the
following sprin. one with the Young
wheat plant and. penetr atng the voung
Seeding, lives in the interior OF the
plant until it heads. At this time ,the
smut enters the seed absorbs its con-
tents and develops q mass of spores.
The most effective. cheapest and hand.
lest methods of reeting the seed wheat
are the Jenson hot water treatment and
the formaldehvde treatment.
This method consists in immersipg
the seed which is supposed to be in.
fected with smut for a few minutes in
hot water. The temperature must be
such as to kill the smut spores. and the
immersion must not be prolonged so
that the heat would injure the germi-
native power of the seel. If the water
is at temperature of 1872 10 degrees
F., the spores will be killed, and vet
the immersion, if not continued beyond
Is minutes. will not in the least injure
the seed The temperature must be al
lowed to vary bnt little from 1872 1-2 de-
grees, in no cafe rising higher than 1876
degrees, or falling below 100 degrees.
Two methods of applying the for
maldehyde are in general use, sprink-
ling and dipping. both of which have
their advantages, but the former is to
be preferred.
neutrality-suspicious. or piles of a
bushel of seed are thoroughly satur-
a'ed with solution made at the rate Of
one pound forma'dehvde to 30 gallons
of water. A common garden sprinkler
may be very satisfa ctorily used or even
a broom though a small hand force
pump is to be preferred. The grain
should be shoveled over and thoroughly
wet for at least two hours.
Dipping-A bushel or more of grain
is placed in gunny sack and is dipped
into a solution of formaldehyde, the
strength as that given above. Care
should be exercised that the grain is
thoroughly saturated.
The spores that continue rust from
one season to another, live over the
winter in the straw and stubb,e, and,
consequently, any treatment applied to
the seed would be useless.
Many different remedies have been
tried. but 80 far none have been found
that are effective. The straw should be
burned soon after threshing and where
possible the stubble. Some varieties
