at Orifino, having more than 5000 TO-
bacco plants NOW growing, and he de-
clares the finest quality of tobacco is
grown there. Tobacco grown by him
took the prize at the St. Louis EXPOSE

America produces better tobacco than
the soil and climate at Oroino." Some
leaves which he sent TO St. Louis meas
ured IL inches in length and 49, inches

finest. Mr.. Buckley is an enthusiast
over the outlook for tobacco growing

the man and former opponents in the
party have come out for him including
Henry Watterson OF KY, Gov Folk and
ex-Gov Francis of Mo-, ex- Senator
Villas of Wis, but not Grover Cleve-

Those who once called Bryan radical
now say he is conservative. Even
Pres. Roosevelt has led the rep ublican
party to adopt many measures that
scared people when Bryan advocated
A great welcome is planned for Bry-
an when he reaches N. Y. next month

riculturist, has prepared and sent out
the following bulletin:
The blighting of Potato foliage dur
ing July, August and September in
Western Washington is usually due to
the disease known as "late blight. "
This trouble-which is caused by the
fungus known to botanists as phytoph-
tora iEfestans De Bary-prevails
throughout the northern tier of states
and especially in the great potato
growing sections of Michigan, New
York, Vermont and Maine, where
much experience with remedial meas
ures has been gained which will be
directly applicable to Washington
conditions.
"The late blight fungus requires for
it's best development a moist or humid
climate and a mparatively low tenn
perature. 1t is for this reason that il
is widely prevalent in the regions
mentioned while it does not occur to
any great extent in Southern districts.
Losses due to blight are often not real
lied by farmers. These losses are of a
two-fold nature. In the first place
the crop is reduced by the premature
destruction of the vines, and in the
second place there is frequently con
siderable decay during storage due to
the same fungus which attacked the
vines. 1t is estimated by reliable au-
thorites that the average loss per
acre throughout the principal potato
growing sectors of the country
amounts to sixty bushels per acre in
seasons when the blight is prevalent,
making total loss of many millions OF
dollars, nearly all of which could have
been prevented.
potato blight can be efectualy
prevented by spraying Bordeaux mix
ture, and this treatment has become
an esta blshed farm practice in many
sections of the country. This should
also be the case in Western Washing.
ton, and few careful trials will soon
convince the most skeptical potato
grower of the profits to be made in this
manner
1T is advised that spraying be begun
the latter part of June, az it is impor-
tant to make the first application be-
fore the blight appears. Once the dis
ease has gained headway in field it is
much more difficult to check it. Addi-
tional sprayings should be made at in
terials of two weeks in dry weather or
more frequently toward the end of the
season if the weather is rainy and the
disease spreading in neighboring fields,

1t will be seen by an examination OF
this provision that it does away with
every objection which the Bulletin has
found, so far, to the proposed direct
primary system. There is no reason
why a similar provision should not be
in the direct primary law of this state.

has done more along the lines of con-
structive craftsmanship than has been
accomplished at any session with which
he is familiar. He says that men of
genuine patriotism have right to feel
"a profound satisfaction in the entire
course of this congress.
The text of the presidents statement
follows:
"In the session that has just closed the
the congress has done more substantial
work for good than any congress at any
session since became familiar with
public affairs The legislation has
been along the line of real constructive
craftsmanship Of the most practical and
efficient type, and bills have been en-.
acted which have been of an impor-
lance so great that it is safe to say that
the enactment of any one Of them
would have made the session memoir
able, such, for instance, as the railroad
bill, the meat inspection measure, the
pure f0ed BILL the bill for free alcohol
in the arts, the consular reform bill,
Panama canal legislation, the joint
statehood bill and the naturalization
bill.
