GOVERNMENT in
WILLOW BUSINESS
Free Distribution of Best Varie-
ties Made from Nurseries
Located Near Wash
ingtOn

The government is right in the
midst of the harvest of a most unique
crop at its experimental farm near Ar
lington, just across the Potomac from
Washington, where corps of laborers
in charge of trained foresters are pre-
pairing for the annual free distribution
of 100000 basket willow cuttings.
Uncle Sam is encouraging the grow
ing of high-grade willow rods in this
country, and in the five years since
the establishment of the hollis at Ar
lington approximately a half million
select cuttings have been distributed
among farmers, with directions for
planting and preparing for market.
Particular attention is given to Sc
lecting the varieties and strains best
suited to the soil where the paintings
will be made.
Willow craft is an industry which
is constantly growing in Importance
in this country, yet the culture of bas-
ket willow I'm the United States made
very little progress until five or six
years ago.
Even now, practically all of the best
grades of basket willow are imported
from Europe, chiefly from France. Ex-
periments have shown that the best
grades of willow can be grown in this
country at a good profit.
This years harvest began early In
March. Four approved varieties are
being sent out, and only the best and
most thrifty rods are selected for dis
tribution. Cuttings for experiments,
planting and information on manage
ment of the willow hollis are furnished
those who make the request of the for
ester at Washington.
The government recognizes the im-
portance of good cuttings, a point
more commonly overlooked than the
matter of cultivation. Only the best
and most thrifty rods are selected for
each seasons distribution.
The forest service is receiving a
constantly increasing number of re.
quests for basket willow cuttings
These requests came from farmers
all over the country. many of them
coming through members OF congress.

REMEDIES FOR
SCABBY POTATOES
Two Poisons Are Recommended
TO Prevent Disease. Forma1in
Being Less Dangerous.

Potato scab is a disease of the pota-
to tuber caused by a fungous growth
attacking it in the soil. Spores of the
fungus will remain in the soil from
year to year and on the tubers from
one season to another. The disease
causes the surface of the potato to be-
come rough and unsightly and very
juring its food value.
Scab on potatoes can be prevented
by planting uninfected tubers in clean
soil. and the danger of injecting may
be reduced by rotation or by planting
the potatoes in different soil each sea.
son.
To insure a crop of potatoes free
from scab treat the seed with some
poison to kill the scab spores on them
and plant in soil in which no potatoes
have grown for several years. Two
poisons for scab treatment are recon-.
mended. Formalin is the less poison.
Gus and the one most commonly used
1t costs about so cents pint and one
pint is used with 80 gallons of water,
Formalin solution may be used either
in a wooden or metallic vessel, and,
although a poison, there is little dan.
ger in its use. Let the potatoes soak
in the solution for about two hours.
After disinfection place the potatoes
in bags which contain no scab spores.
Spores of potato scab may also be
killed by the use of corrosive sub
Innate. This is a very poisonous sub
stance and must be used with care.

poison in two gallons of hot water.

have instituted suit for personal taxes

f. A. Douthitt, who is acting as at

ployes are not liable for either personal
or income taxes, or for any other taxes
which would in any way diminish the
compensation they receive for their
services Chat opinion established the
principle that the only power which is
authorized in any way to diminish the
income of a federal employee is the
sovereign power which appoints and
employs him. And now for the Terri
tory of Hawaii to come in and try to
upset this precedent appears to him
very strange.
Federal employees are liable, of course.
for property taxes, both personal and
real, but other taxes, nay, nay; nothing
doing. And Mr.. Douthitt proposes,
with a good chance of success, to show
the territorial officials that they have
got off at the wrong station.
In case the district court decides
against Noyes, the case will be carried
through the other courts of the Terri
tory. and if the decisions are all ad-
verse to the defendant, probably up TO
the Supreme Court of the United States.

The terrible accusations against King

missionaries and convince the world
that the tales they had told were ut
