POTATO DISEASES AND
HOW TO PREVENT THEM.

Fortunately there are no diseases
of potatoes in Colorado which re-
quire spraying with Bordeaux mix
ture, as is so common in the East.
But we do have other forms which
attack the potato plant below
ground, and because of these our
potato industry is at present restrict
ed to special localities where the soil
conditions are favorable. We are
fortunate again in the fact that most
of our potato troubles may be pre-
vented, in n measure at least, by inn
proving the sanitary conditions of
field and storage cellar and by an
intelligent selection of seed.
Rhyzoctonia, the disease which is
accountable to a great extent for
large vines and no potatoes, as well
as for much of the potato scab, is
everywhere present in Colorado
soils. Where does it come from and
how did ii start? We don't know.
But we do know that it is a plant
and is subject to natural laws much
the same as higher plants. 1t de-
lights in heavy, soggy soils. So,
when the grower thinks he ruined
his crop by watering at certain
time, he really made the soil condi-
tions favorable for the growth of
this tiny plant. Keep the soil open
and porous; then, by deep and fire.
quent cultivation, and, if possible,
plant the land which is naturally
well underdrained. Be careful not
to overwater; do not have the rows
too long; make the irrigating fur
rows deep and do not let the level of
water rise TO the point where tubers
set.
There are many conditions of po-
tato vines which are locally known
as blight. The one which has been
most common during the past sea-
son is due to the attacks of fungus
plant known as Fusarium. This
disease is spread to new fields by in
fected seed, and 1t may live in the
soil on decaying vegetable matter,
where much of this disease is pres
ent on the seed or in the soil and
the conditions are favorable for its
growth, many of the young potato
sprouts are killed before they reach
the surface of the ground; thus we
have poor stand. Then the plants
may die at any time during the sea-
son and still further reduce the
yield.
AS preventive measures we should
thoroughly clean and disinfect the
cellars where seed potatoes are kept.
Then the seed should be carefully Sc
lectel and all potatos rejectd that
show any discoloration of the flesh.
All are familiar with dry rot of po-
tatoes in the cellar. This is caused
by Fusarium and the only way we
have to combat it at present is to
keep the fungus out of the cellars
and to practice rotation of crops in
the field. w. PADDOCK.

CARNEGIE's LATEST GIFT.

Mr.. Carnegie has added $1,000
600 to the s1O,0OO,OOO already
given by him to provide pensions for
wbrthy professors of colleges and
universities. This last $5,000,0O0
is made so as to include professors
in state universities, these institu-
tions not having been included in
the original gift.
This makes q total of S750,000,
which may be disbursed annually.
This pension system is one of the
best things that Mr.. Carnegie has
done. 1t is better in many respects
than his library benefactions. As a
rule the professors and teachers in
the universities are poorly paid. Col
leges are not too literally endowed
and they put their tuition low in
order to benefit as many students
as possible. Salaries as a conse-
quence' are by no means commen-
surate with the work involved and
the ability required.
Moreover professional men of this
sort usually lose the art of making
money. They are out of the way of
business and very few of them are
able to save much for old age. To
know that pension awaits them
will surely be of great relief and will
enable them to prosecute their work
without the necessity of diverting
their attention to the making of
money.--Colorado Springs Tele-

It required the utmost solemnfty and
decorum, surrounded by all possible
legal safeguards" and carried on
with that artistic assumption Of fair
ness and regard for liberty's palladium
commensurate with the dignified
hypocrisy of the proceedings.
1t can be readily imagined from the
foregoing that man had to keep his
eyes open when he weSt into politics.
Ordinary treachery and double-dealins
he became accustomed to at once, par.
ticularly If he was in a ward where he
could depend upon meeting men
whose ideas of honesty were dim and
fieeting; and whose word of honor was
something less In substantially than
a burned-out match. He might mako
half dozen iron-bound compacts with
the members of his own political
tribe in one night to have day break
with different combination forming
in his absence. The only way to rule
an ordinary ward is to have the power
over the "jobs" to be distributed, and
use that power with the utmost rigor
Let every political worker know that
he will walk the plank" instantly IL

A S the motto of the game is,
"A generally win at all haz-
A ards" it follows that poll
4 ". tics is in some wards, end in
some exigencies, a desperate
game. This applies both to the upper
and lower stratas of the men engaged
in it. If the men higher up" wanted
something put over the plate" that
required physical force, they could
always find men lower down in abe
scale who were guaranteed to stop at
nothing. These riff-raff of the under
current relied on political influence
to bring them clear of any crime they
might commit, and II often did gain
them immunity. The code of morality
seemed to be that the other fellows
would do the same thing il they had
the power and needed "the trick" so
that not even deliberate murder was
omitted on rare occasions to accom-
plish political end.
If anyone thinks I am drawing on
my imagination for this statement, he
is respectfully referred to the books
of the various cemeteries and the
record Of the murder trials in the
criminal courts Of the city.
In the practice of my profession as
a lawyer, had run across some mem
bers OF what were known as the
strong-arm boys" of a certain section
of the city. They had figured as wit
nesses in some criminal cases in
which my firm was engaged, and
had an opportunity to study them.
They were young fellows as a rule,
and exceedingly we'll dressed Some
of them were very handy with their
fists, and some were regulation gun
fighters" All of them were crooks"
In various lines, from "card-sharps"
and confidence" men to "shell-game
workers" and pickpocKets.

Of politics these "strong-arm boys"
were very active in local politics, al
though they were far distant from my
political bailiwick, and mostly did not
belong to our party. Sometimes they
held petty political jobs for a year or
six months, and sometimes they hung
around the saloons and polling places,
the henchmen of some local politician.
Another time a local politician of
considerable prominence was stabbed
in wrangle over the alleged stuffing
of ballot box and instantly killed

some one cried "get him" just before
the fatal thrust. An open knife, ready
there to sharpen lead pencil" was
the cause of his death His slayer,
after a bitterly contested legal battle
carried to the supreme court of the
state, was sentenced to serve a peni-
tentiary term. Another time one
crowd broke into the doors of closed
meeting, with a revolver volley from
both sides as the doors crashed in.
Two men dead and several wounded
was the result of this fracas. No one
was ever tried for any crime in con-
nection with this.
OF course these desperate affrays
were not frequent, nor did they usual
ly happen except in the tough wards
but they sometimes did occur in good
wards, where the people were above
the average in intelligence and order
liness. Anywhere, in the fierce ami
mosities engendered by the excite
ments of an election, of a primary, or
city convention, there was very
strong probability that somewhere
within the city's limits there would
be death to lay at the door of party
politics. Whisky, of course, often was
a contributory agent of no little i'm
portance. One time a would-be voter
lined up to get into a polling booth, a
pistol in his side coat pocket, and
something like eleven drinks in his

Her Reserved Seat.

1t was raining and the car was sop
ping wet. Most of the passengers
stood, but there are always excep
tions.
One big pink man with snowy
beard defied rheumatism and wet
cloth by Pumping himself down on
one of the drippy seats. His presum
able wife, with a laughing explanation
that she was tired, seated herself in
his lap. And when the conductor
came along to collect fares she in
quired, with the earnestness of one
who seeks knowledge:
DO l have to pay extra for re-
served seat?"
The conductor spoke no words that
could go resounding down the corri-
doris of time. He just grinned, and
the passengers grinned with him.
