ed potatoes, if planted on land

Ii you have already bedded your
potatoes and are not sure that they
are free from disease, plant as much
OF your crop as you can from vines
and on land not previously planted
in potatoes. When you gather the
potatoes, bank separately the ones
grown from the slips and note the
keeping qualities of each.
Potatoes should not be banked for
two years in succession in the same
place, because the fungus which
causes this rot will live over in the old
banks and attack the new potatoes
as soon as they are banked. Where
potato houses or cellars are used
for storing. they should be cleaned
out and disinfected before the new
crop is put in. This can be done by
cleaning them out thoroughly and

BLACK ROT OF SWEET POTATOES
We Must Get Disease-Free Seed and
Plant In Rotation With Other
Crops.

The black rot OF sweet potatoes
occurs quite commonly and does
considerable damage on potatoes
both In the field and in storage. The
rot Is caused by a parasitic fungus
which. under certain conditions, is
other and thus spread the disease.
The trouble first appears as
brown or black patches or notified,
discolored areas on the surface OF
potatoes. Quite frequently these
dIscolored areas are observed in po-
this stage the disease only seems to
penetrate the skin and is apparently
doing no serious harm. Later, the
rot extends into the potato. When
such potatoes are stored In warm,
moist places. the reproducing fun
gus becomes especially active and
spreads rapidly from one potato to
another.
II slightly diseased potatoes are
stored in a place where conditions

OF the rot. they frequently remain
partly rotted until spring. The real
danger OF spreading the disease from
one field to another comes in bed
ding such potatoes. Slightly dis
eased potatoes seem to sprout as
readily as healthy ones, and the
slips from such potatoes are dis
eased The disease transferred
with such slips to the field remains
on the plant and attacks the potatoes
when they develop. The fungus
which causes black rot also lives
over In the soil from year TO year.
and where potatoes are planted
every year on the same land, the
disease constantly gets worse.
To prevent black rot then, We
must. Cd secure disease-free seed
for planting: CD avoid planting
potatoes on the same land for two
years in succession.
Quite frequently 1t is impossible

are entirely free from disease. In

NURSE CRYSTAL IS EX0NERATED Board of Charities Takes Final Action on Charges Against
 EmplOye Finds That Complaining Nurse Acted in Good Faith in Pre-
 ferring Charges

In keeping with the expectation of the general public the Board of Charities at a meeting late yesterday dismissed as not proven the charges of neglect brought by Miss Frances Ladd, the nurse employed by the Wis., tting Nurse Association, against Miss Agnes Crystal, the nurse in charge of the tuberculosis hospital at Lakeview Home.
 The board went on record as be- lieving Miss Ladd brought the charges in good faith, under a mis- understanding of the operating con- ditions of the hospital, Miss Ladd supposing that more adequate assist ence was at the command of Miss Crystal.
 Among the other matters disposed of was the granting of a day a week to Chauffeur A. B. Burlison of the automobile ambulance. Burlison at present is on duty seven days and nights a week, responding to ambu- lance calls much as firemen answer alarms, except that heretofore he has not had a day to himself.

 THOMAS IN, JAIL

Merfden, Aug. 4.-John A. Thomas, or Warehouse Point, formerly of Meri- den, has been sen to jail for 120 days by Juoge Fay in the Police court-thirty days for contempt of court, thirty days for intoxication and sixty days for as- sault on his former wife.
 The troubles of Thomas. who had a good position in local factory, be- gan some years ago when his mother died In Bridgeport and left A1aim a supstantlal legacy. Because of his con- duct his wife finally divorced him and she recently married again.
 The testimony in court WAS that Thomas went to H. F. Reffelt's home on Britannia street at 10 o'clock Mon day night and rang the bell. Mrs. Ref felt answered the door, she informed the judge and Thomas opened the screen door. forced his way into the hall and grasped Mrs. Reffelt at the throat. crying. "Now I have you"
 MT. Reffelt heard the conrnotion. He threw Thomas out of the house but he repeatedly returned and aroused the neighborhood. He was beastly drunk. the Reffelts said.
 When Thomas was taken into court Reffelt. Sweet, very sweet" he said. lnsultingly. The police warned him put he continued his sneerine remarks and Chief Bowen assisted one of his men in pushing him into the pen.
 Thomas testified he came here to get his belongings in the Reffelt home. As to the statement that put a. foot inside the house. it's a damn lie." he oecIared. He was equally emphatic Tn hls denial of assaulting Mrs. Ref felt.
 City. Attorney Dunne asked Thom- as If he had been drinking before he went to the Reffelt home Thomas Ilew lnto rage and. pointing his fling CT at the prosecutor replied:
 None Of your damned business" The days then began to fall from the Judges lips and Thomas slid down Tn ms seat as though he had been struck with a hammer.
 He told the police he was farming at Warehouse Point. He also confid- ed to them that he had made s7,OOo m stocks this week. Little credence was placed in his statements by the police who think that John Barley corn has beat him down.

UNCLE SAM'S WAR VESSELS READY AT
 PR0VINCET0WN
fspecial from United Press.)

Provincetown. Mass, Aug. A. Crowded as never before, even when Presidents Grant and Roosevelt wis ited here, Provincetown today is making ready to see President Taft tomorrow at the dedication of the Pilgrims monument. President Taft nthe Mayhower will arrive tomor- row. When the Mayfower arrives she VIII have difficulty worming her way through the anchored craft. Hundreds of yachts and sailing craft are in the harbor today and by to- comprising 40 war vessels of various classes will be here to greet the Chief Executive of the country with a triple salute of 21 guns.
 The town itself has practically completed arrangements for the ad- vent of it's distinguished visitor. All over the place flags and streamers are rampant, public buildings, churches, stores and private residences vieing with each other in an effort to pre- sent the best appearance. There are more than 15,000 people in town now and fully 10000 more are expected by Friday. The present contingent includes many former townspeople who have come back for an "Old Home Week., hundreds of fakirs who have set their stands and vari- ous devices for mulcting the public at every vantage point; p1ckpOckets by the thousand and ordinary sight seers. Provincetown has one lone policeman. For that reason a score of Boston policemen have been de- tailed to assist in keeping order and several hundred sailors from the North Atlantic squadron, will also be detailed to patrol the streets.
 Provincetown's hardest problem is the housing of the multitudes. Hun dreds of automobilists are utilizing their cars for sleeping quarters in lieu of better accommodations.

CHINESE GOVERNMENT
 DOES NOT SANCTION
 BOYCOTT ON AMERICA
Special from United Press, !,

Pekin. Aug. 4-The Chinese gov ernment, it was announced today, has no sympathy with the boycott on American goods inaugurated by the Chinese Self-Government Society of Canton. It will do it's best to con- fine the boycott to Canton and its environs where the society has its greatest strength. China fears that if the boycott is permitted to spread 1t may interfere with a number of commercial enterprises that China is now undertaking in conjunction with the United States.
 Although the government believes that the basis of the boycott, the al- legged mistreatment of Chinese enter ing America in the detention sheds on Angel Island in San Francisco Bay is worthy of notice, it will make for mai representations to the United States of the Canton society's com- plaint.
