majority of 5,640-Editor.)
BOSTON, Mass, April 4.-The fight
in the fourteenth district was made on
national issues and the verdict of the
people can only be regarded as re-
,.oI+ against the administration in
Washington.
II is now asserted that the person
aIitv of the candidates played a large
part in the result. The truth is there
never has been a campaign so Tree
from personalities.
Il did not win the fight. The plat
form on which I stood; the issues
which were presented to the people;
widespread determination to express
dissatisfaction with existing condi-
tions, all contributed to win the hght
for me. 1t was not until the polls
were closed, the ballots counted ana
a remarkable and emphatic vote OF
lack of confidence registered that we
heard the suggestion that my own po-
ruIarity and the unpopularity of my
opponent were responsible for the re-
suit.

pointed to succeed w. G. Souther, who
started the work for the club prior to
the enthusiastic meeting conducted by
Tom Richardson, of Portland. Mr.
Souther started the plan which is now
in effect, and when Mr.. Meacham as
sumed control of the work, he followed
the outline of his predecessor, thereby

Spokane Irrigation congress last year,

tions have been started and worked to-
successful completion, and the inau-
guration of a weekly business mems
luncheon was one of the more import
ant events marking the first year Of
publicity work. The latest step in the
advancement of the Walla Walla val
ley, and, in fact. the Inland Empire, is
the trade excursions, one of which has
already been run to Kennewick and

The clearing away Of the weeds
from portion Of the main street Of
the town adds very much TO the
general look Of cleanliness and neat
ness. It's only small part Of the
work Of this kind that ought to be
done.
The season for the vigorous growth
of grass has about passed, and the
City Fathers doubtless realize that
when the streets are neatly cleaned
now they will remain so throughout
the winter. Portions of Main street
are eye-sorcs not only to those who
must walk through the weeds and
grass to reach their homes but also
80 the casual passer-by, who is prone
u wonder II the work OF killing the
grass will not be taken up before
Jack Frost takes hand in the mat
ter. Jack Frost may kill the grass,
but Ire won't remove it, so unless il
il cleared away II viii remain as
much on eye-sore as ever.
II the City Fathers will manifest
a lively interest in the cleaning OF
the streets, they can do much, even
though they may be hand
icapped as regards funds. A request
for the cooperation Of the various
residents OF the city in a general
cleaning-upof things should be fruit
full of good results. Why can't we
have a cleaning up day" just as
many cities and towns Of the state
haveduringthc fall season. Unless the
City Fathers take the initiative and
set such movement on foot, there
is little reason to believe that much
will be don't. Can't we get away
from our apathy and slothfulness
and have genuine cleaning up"
day?

THE district convention OF the
home and foreign missionary socie-
ties Of the various NJ e t h 0 d ist

Richland October 1915, with q large

The meeting was an unusually sue

by all present, according to Mrs. d.
J. Minis, who was the delegate from
the local church.
Many important matters came up
before the convention, which was
noted for the vigorous manner in
which it dealt with mission matters

Cure for Hog Cholera.

Mayor Scott, of Moultrie, gives
the following formula for prepar-
alton which he guarantees to cure
or prevent hog cholera. He has
known it used for years without
failure in q single case. He has
known men who had tried it and
were convinced of its curative pow
ers. The formula is as follows:
Take equal parts by weight OF
pulverized ginger, sulphur, pulver-
lied saltpeter and black sulphurette
of anthony. Mix thoroughly and
feed in mash. One tablespoonful
per day to each hog when sick. AS
a preventive give from one to three
doses per week. If the hog is able
to eat it will save him.

The Touch of Genius.

journal bears the suggestive caption,

writer of that paper, makes note Of
She fact that though the cleaner, the
fslleEnlan, tire shepherd and many
other humble lGborers have heen
glorificd by the brush Of the artist
never before has the hod-carrier
been fifty interpreted. The writer
strikes 8 note Of universal truth
when he says, Art after all reaches
its highest when il strikes deepest
into human life and bodies forth the
heart Of every day men and women. -
Not only The hod-carrier but host
of other subjects that are rich in
soul interest are around us every
day, but it is not every day that a
real genius arises to interpret them
AS Henry Timrod voiced it,
"There is no unimpressive spot on
earthl
The beauty Of the stars is over all. "
II is only when the vigorous,
powerful genius interprets the SIM
plest things Of life that we gain q
new vision ui their so-calIed "un-

RED ROT IN SUGAR CANE;
PREVENTATIVE MEASURES

the first stages Of the diseases can
be detected in the fall. The seed
canes are thus infected when put
away in the fall and the conditions
in the beds during the warm days Of
winter are ideal for encouraging its
spread through the canes and it Is
no wonder that the infected plants
are in bad condition in the spring,
nor that the red rot spreads before
spring to other canes that were
healthy in the fall. The department
hopes to conduct experiments to
determine the most practical rem
edy. At the present time, the
farmers can draw on the experience
Of other sections which have learned
that careful selection Of seed cane is
necessary to avoid this trouble.
HOW TO DISTINGUISH THE
DISEASES IN TIE FALL.
THE ordinary observer will see
no trace Of red rot in the field in the
fall until his attention is called to
the red discolorations at the base Of
certain canes. Look closely at the
lower joints Of canes that show this
discoloration on the leaf sheaths and
there may be found shallow, sunken
spots below the joint that have a
shredded appearance, and red color
where the fungus has started to
work into the cane. All diseased
canes should be discarded.
The department Of agriculture re-
commends that the farmers select
for next years seed, canes that show
no trace of this disease. A little adj
ditional work will be required to go
through the fields and choose these
vigorous, ohcalthy canes, but the re-
turn should make it worth while.
The plant bed should be located if
possible, where cane has not been
recently grown, in order to get away
from any soil infection. It is also
recommended on general principles
that the cane be planted on land not
in cane last year. The seed selec-
ton, is however, more important
than the rotation, y

In It's issue Of Wednesday the
Townsville Times-Enterprisc re-
produccsa letter written by Congress-
man s. A. Roddcnberry. Of the
Second district, TO the Agricultural
department at Washington, asking
for information concerning red rot
in sugar cane. Believing this in
formation Of value to our readers,
especially in south and southwest
Georgia, The Telegraph herewith re-
produces the reply given by Prof.
w. A. Orion, plant pathologist Of
the department Of agriculture, as APP
pears IL the Times Enterprise:
RED ROT A SERIOUS
NEW CANE DISEASE.
1t has been found that the losses
Of cane in the plant beds and the
poor stands resulting from the plant
ing Of diseased canes during recent
years in south Georgia are due to the
ravages Of a disease called red rot, ,
which is comparatively new in this
country, but better known in Hawaii
and the West Indies. Sometimes
difficulty has been experienced in
carrying seed cane through the VIM
ter in good condition. 1t would be
apparently all right when put
away, but in the spring many Of the
eyes would be dead and the cane on
cutting would show reddish dis
celebrations around the joints and in
the pith. Mr.. w. B. Roddenberry
brought this situation to the attcn-
ton of the department Of agricul-
ture at Washington, who found in
the diseased canes o fungus that was
identified as the red rot fungus.
Later search showed that this existed
in Louisiana. The situation is suf-
ticently serious to warrant earnest
efforts to reduce the injury, as it
cuts heavily in the profits of the cane
grower to loose a considerable por-
ton Of his seed cane and to cultivate
a field where ten to fifteen per cent
