TOMATO BLIGHT is
CAUSED BY BACTERIA.
The Remedy is Crop Rotation and
Treating Seed with Formaldehyde.

Discovery has been made by S. A.
Wright fruit grower and truck
farmer at Opportunity, Wash, that
Western tomato blight Is caused by a
form OF bacteria in the soil. His rem
edy is crop rotation to purify the soil,
treating the seed with a solution of
formaldehyde' and setting the plants
in non-infected soil.
Mr.. Wright has reported his discov-
cry to the experiment station of the
Washington state college at Pullman
and expects to interest agricultural
college and experiment stations in the
Northwest in movement to stamp out
the mysterious disease, which has
baffled experts for years and cost mar
ket gardeners in the Pacific slope
country hundreds of thousands Of dol
lars.
Like the so-caled wilt which is
literally wiping out the fax industry
in many parts of Montana and North
Dakota" said Mr. Wright recently,
the blight first attacks the root of
the tomato plant. The rest of it soon
becomes affected and is rendered
worthless. Each year adds to the
amount of injurious germs in the land
and the crop becomes smaller In
some Instances the soil is so infected
that tomatoes will not grow and that
soon will be the case in many parts
Of the west If the blight is not checked.
The growers must unite If the fight
On the blight is to. be successful, as
he germs are easily spread by irriga- |
ion bitches, wind and farm nipple |
nents. To insure healthy plants every !
grower should raise his seed from Wig |
)rous. blight-resisting stock and use
,nly fresh and purified soil in making
he hotbed and take care of the plants
lfter they have been set out in the
ield. The remedy is so simple that
very tomato grower should Join in
his campaign against the blight"

Civic Improvement commendable,
Farmers and Town People Should
Be Mutually Helpful.
no the Editor OF The Bryan Eagle:

To the Editor of The Bryan Eagle:
have been watching with interest
the controversies carried on through
the columns of your paper ] think
that Mr.. Cook and "A True Farmers
Wife" are too wide in their views when
they speak for the farmers in general
1t is commendable in the good ladies
of Bryan for the interest they always
take in the welfare of their town.
They are always found at the head OF
all movements for making a cleaner
and more beautiful Bryan. They take
pride in all social and civic develop
ment for the betterment OF town and
country, If more farmers wives be
longed to the clubs OF Bryan the town
and country would understand each
other better. Let "A True Farmers
Wife" attend some club. Let the cares
of home go for an afternoon. Her hus-
band could surely attend TO the chick
ems and look after the baby one after
noon in each month, and IL may be
that he will make the acquaintance OF
the "cow that gives the buttermilk."
U dare say he Is a rank stranger TO |
herr
1t is a problem to be solved by the /
city council and Commercial Club OF |
Bryan to devise some means so as to
relieve the congested conditions that
exist on Main street on Saturdays and
busy days in the fall. When the farm
ers drive in town and dispose of their
produce it would be much better to
place their teams in the wagon yard,
autos in the garage and their aero
planes in the hangar" and leave Main
street an open driveway.
The merchant of Bryan you will al
ways find ready to dispose of his wares
to you. at legitimate profit to him

always open to his friends in the
country in helping us build our school
houses and churches.

Los Angeles, Jan. 26.-Yelling like In

boarded an inbound beach suburban
car on the outskirts of Santa Monica,
shortly after 6 o'clock last night, and
after robbing % passengers and seri-

routed and forced to flee by a single
shot. This shot wounded one of the
robbers. The wounded bandit was cap

a car to come into the city for medi-
cal treatment. His wound betrayed
him. At the county jail here he gave
the name of Roy Fox and said he was
10 years old. He refused to give any
information concerning his companion.
The car had just left Santa Monica
city hall and was approaching Toxic
station when the bandits, wearing
gaudy bandana handkerchiefS over their
faces, swung aboard, one at each enc
of the car. With a yell, they began
shooting through the roof and sides

MEETS AT NIGHT.
Cabinet called Together to Consider
Canadian Reciprocity.

Washington, Jan. 26.-After a day
of almost incessant labor on his mes
sage which will be sent to congress to-
day with the reciprocity agreement
recently reached by the representatives
of the United States and Canada,
President Taft called a special meet
ing of the cabinet at 10 O'Clock last
night for the purpose, it is understood,
of discussing the measure.
The same secrecy that characterized
tie negotiations of the reciprocity
conference has been maintained as to
the provisions of the agreement. The
president, it is said, has prepared an
explaining in detail the principal fea-
lures of the agreement.
It also is reported statement
analyzing the effects of the tariff laws
on trade with Canada in the past and
the probable results that would be
obtained by the proposed reciprocity
agreemtnt will be transmitted through
the president from the state depart
ment.
In Canada the farmers, particular
1y in the west. have been clamoring
for lower duties on manufactured
products and have at various times
petitioned the Dominion government
to effect an arrangement with the
United States. Manufacturers in Can
ada have vigorously opposed the
policy. The farmers also have asked
for free trade in agricultural imple-
ments and natural products.
The cabinet was in session about an
hour. President Taft read his mes
sage and the reciprocity agreement
and the meeting adjourned. The quick
adjournment was taken to mean that
the measure as set forth by President
Taft and Secretary Knox met with the
approval of the remaining members
of the cabinet. Congress will receive
the documents at o'clock this after
