TREATMENT OF
SEED POTATOES.
State Zoologist Surface Prefers Forma
line to Corrosive SubIimate Because
Latter DissOlves Immediately.
HOW TO PREPARE THE MIXTURE.

The subject of the treatment of
seed potatoes to prevent scab was
brought to the attention of the
Division of Economic Zoology CT
the Department of Agriculture
of Pennsylvania by Mr.. r. j.
Belt of Wellsvllle, York Co., Pa, e,
Treasurer of the Wells Whip Co.
Mr.. Belt treated his potatoes with
blchloride of mercury, having
dissolved two ounces of corrosive
sublimate IN 16 gallons Of water.
Three times this quantity of the
mixture was used on 40 bushels
OF potatoes.
State Zoologist H. A. Surface
replied that he prefers formalln
TO corrosive sublimate for potato
scab treatment. This is because
the formalin, or formaldehlde,
dissolves Immediately IN water,
it being liquid itself when IN the
commercial form, and 1t does not
corrode any material by coming
in contact with and drying upon
it as the corrosive sublimate
might do. After having killed
the disease germs 1t evaporates
and is gone, so that no evil after
effects can come from 1t. 1t is
quickly and easily prepared, and
it's action upon ones hand will
not be anywhere near as serious
as the corrosive sublimate solu-
tion.
To prepare the mixture put &c
gallons of water into a barrel, tC
which add one pint of the forma
lin solution. This about equal:
ene.half ounce to a gallon. This
may appear weak, butlt is strong
enough to destroy the scab germs
Put the potatoes IN bags and the
bags into barrels, and pour
enough of the foregoing solution
of formalin and water INTO the
barrel to cover the bags, and let
stand for an hour. After that take
the potatoes out of the bags and
let them drain. Other potatoes
can be put in the bags and i'm.
mersed for the treatment. The
liquid can be used again and again
as long as any remains. IT should
be kept covered to prevenC escape
of the fumes or evaporation, aud
it 1t would be well to strengthen
1t occasionally by adding little
more of the solution. The pota.
toes can be treated either before
or after cutting, but if they are
not to be planted soon, dipping
before cutting Is best, They can
be dried IN crates or IN barrels,
or spread on the barn floor, after
the same has been swept com.
pletely and scrubbed with a solu.
tion of the formahn or blchloride,
whatever is beng used.

DON'T SPRAY TREES
WHILE IN BLOSSOM.
zooIogtst II. A. Surface, Of State Depart.
ment Of Agriculture, Warns Fruit
Growers OF Danger.
WAIT TILL BLOOM DROPS.

The owners OF fruit farms, who
intend spraying their trees to
prevent diseases and kill the cod
ling moth larva are advised by
Prof. Surface, of the Division of
Economic Zoology of the Pennsyl
vania Department of Agriculture
not to spray the blossoms, but to
wait until after the petals have
dropped, or more than three
fourths are down. He also says
injury will be caused to the bios.
SONS If they are sprayed when
open, but the spraying should
not be delayed after the blossoms
have fallen. To secure the best
results the spray must be applied
within SIX days after the bios
SONS fall, and second spraying
should be done ten days or two
weeks after the first application
to prove effectual.
The following are said by the
department to be the objections
to spraying trees when In bloom:
There is no definite pest for
which the spray Is applicable at
that time, and each spraying
should be for something definite.
The very young fruit Is liable
to be injured by the spray liquid
falling upon it at this time. Spray
ing when in bloom is very sure
way of thinning the fruit crop,
but 1t is very unsclentific and un.
satisfactory.
Spraying blossoms with poison
results IN the destruction of bees.
Bees are necessary for fertlliza.
tion and setting OF the fruit.
The delay of only a short time,
or until just after the blossoms
tall, gives the proper time for
spraying for the codling moth
and for plant diseases and does
not result in the destruction of
fruit or bees.
The proper spraying material
is the Bordeaux Mixture, to
which an arsenlcal poison such
as Paris green or arsenate OF
lead is added. There are two
spraying strengths for this li4uld
according to the hardness of the
tree or plant to be sprayed.
Spray the apple, pear, ounce
and potato with the strong form.
ula which calls for three pounds
of bluestone and four pounds ot
quickllme In fifty gallons of wa
ter, with ons or two pounds OF
arsenate of lead added to this. Ii
Paris green is used, instead OF
the arsenate of lead, third OF
a pound should be used to each
fifty gallons.
The weak formula calls for one.
half Of the above quantities oi
bluestone, lime and arsenate oi
lead in fifty gallons of water.
This Is used on peach and plum
trees on account of their tender
bark, and on similar delicate
plants. Peach and plum trees
do not need to be sprayed imme
diately after blossoming, bu,
these and the grapes should be
sprayed for wormy fruit, making
the application after the fruit
reaches the size OF buckshot.

Guthrie, Okla, Oct. 20.-There is a
gast difference between the manner
in which banking is conducted In Okla
hoina since the installation of Presi-
dents Taft's geological garden of
cranks' and the time when Governor
Frantz proclaimed a series Of holidays
for the purpose of keeping the banks
closed so that a run could not be made
on them. There are people in Okla
homa so unreasonable that they pre-
fer the Crank method of handing out
ell the deposits that one has in bank,
when called for, to the method that
was in vogue when the "cranks" as
sumed control, that of letting a depos-
itor draw five or ten dollars per day
until the peculiar brand OF confidence
that we then enjoyed(?) could be doc
tored. OF course, President Taft is
not responsible that the monkeys in
Oklahoma cannot appreciate his logic
as well as his refined and beautiful
smiles.
The state inspector ana examiner was
recently criticised through an article
issued by the Republican press bureau
The Chickasha daily express. (Chickasha, Indian Territory [Okla.]) 1899-current, 1909-10-20


because he did not make public the
report of the special examiner who had
checked up Pottawatomie county Of
ficials. The state inspector and ex-
aminer has always given his reports to
the press just as soon as they were
completed but this was report made
t. the governor which had been order
e9 by the governor. The state inspec-
tor and examiner had no right to make
it public until it was in the hands of
the governor, and at that time the gov
ernor was not in the city. 1t is abso-
lrtely unreasonable to expect that
these reports should be made public
before the governor has knowledge of
them. Suppose there is a deficiency
in some of the accounts and the gov
ernor should want arrests made. He
certainly would not want the press to
notify the offenders in advance that
an arrest would follow. 1t Is just as
reasonable to expect a grand jury to
make a report to the Republican press
bureau before they make a report to
the court as it is to demand that the
state inspector and examiner give
these reports to the press before the
same had been read by the governor.

within the past few months. the air
IN this vicinity has been fun Of all
scrts OF town-building and town-boom-
ing schemes.
We have had railroad rumors. inter
urban propositions, a big hotel. street
cars. etc.
Il is noticeable, however, that as yet
all Of these propositions are in the
conversation stage. 1t is high time
that some vigorous steps we're taken
70 bring some Of them down to the
realm Of the real.
For example, there is the street rail
way matter. We have man who
guarantees to build and operate the
line, provided certain conditions are
net To meet these conditions win re-
quire the cooperation and assistance
Of all who are to be benefited in any
way. A few men cannot assume the
entire burden and they should not be
expected to do it. II we proceed upon
she theory that few men win carry
the proposition through, it will likely
be a long time before Chickasha has
any street railway.
The more paving that 1t put down,
the more expensive will a street car
line become, and the more difficult
viii 1t be to get anybody to build
IL. Already some Of the streets that
would be trayersed by the car line
are paved and this presents a great
obstacle TO the promoter. Now is the
most favorable time we shall ever
have to interest the street railway
builder in Chickasha.
II is well known fact that a street
railway at the beginning is never a
paying proposition in city the size

always be Offered to get capitalists to
put their money into it. Men who have
property interests at stake, the values
OF which depend upon the future
growth and prosperity Of Chickasha,
should lose no time in getting this
street car line cinched.
AS with the street railway, so with
other important propositions before
the people OF the city. Chickasha can
not stand still. II must go forward
for supremacy being waged by dozen
or more towns in Oklahoma, some Of
them out near neighbors, the reason

president Taft's speeches, particu-
larly his Winona speech, win help the
Democrats win the next house. The
influence of the Aldrich-Cannon stand
patters over the President appears to
be increasing.
"In the short statement which he
gave out when he signed the bill, he
asserted only that it was part full
fillment of Republican promises; but
in his Winona speech he positively as
serted that it is the best tariff bill eyer
put on the statute books. AS the aver
age rate in the Payne-Aldrich bill is
about per cent higher than the aver
age of the Dingley bill, President Taft's
Winona statement is absolutely prepos-
terous, unless he has come to believe
that the higher the tariff the better

THE suFFRAeETrE NEXT DOOR

Pas come out for woman suffrage, tho
he used to kind of sneer,
Sayin politics was never made to be a
woman's sphere;
Ma was once in favor of it, but she's
gettin lukewarm now,
Claimin' that there are few women
who would vote right anyhow.
There's very pretty lady livin' in the
house next door,
And pa never growls or grumbles in
loud voice any more;
He has got to bein' careful Of the way
he looks, you bet,
And the pretty little lady is an earnest
sufiragette.
Pc has come to the conclusion that
the ladies ought to vote.
Says the man who thinks they should
not has no more sense than a goat;
He has read lot of pamphlets, his en-
thusiasm's fine
And he's keepin' busy tryin to get other
men in line.
Mas has lately quit believin' that the
women ought to mix
In affairs outside the family or take
part in politics;
Once she advocated suffrage, but she
doesn't any more,
And guess she's kind of worried by
the suffragette next door.
