Europe soon after the potato was
introduced Late blight caused
the famines and precipitated the
political agitation and the emigra
ton from Ireland that has so re-
duced the population of that
country. The disease affects the
leaves ahd stems ard may drop
whole fields rotting and stenching
upon the ground. If potatoes are
dug too soon after late blight ap
pears the disease may also rot the
tubers.
Early blight occurs but seldom
at Greeley where the cropi is grown
late to avoid fungus troubles of
the kind.
In the mountains where pots-
toes are earlier, early blight may
become important in damp
weather in July or August. The
mold or fungus that causes early
blight attcks the leaves in spots.
often spreading in concentric cir
cles.
The spots become brown or
black aud often drop out. The
trouble becomes serious if too
much leaf surface is lost. In an
other article we will tell hcw to
spray potatoes for early blight.
Spraying with bordeaux mix
ture is preventive and not a cur
ative measure. 1t must be done
before the attack Is expected and
before it can be seen. Even so
far east as Wisconsin 1t has sell
dom been found profitable to
spray. In. New York and Maine
it pays to spray even when the
disease does not become visible;
although the operation costs from
$500 to $1,000 per acre for the
season. Spraying may sometimes
be profitable in our mountains on
early lots OF potatoes. and MAJ be
tired IN fruit regions where the
apparatus is available 1t should
begin when the potatoes are six
inches high and continue at inter
walls of seven to ten days for three
or four times. On late potatoes
in New York six or eight spray
ings or even fifteen or twenty are
used by some; and they were COM
ing to use the three no7zle-to.the-
row sprayers, to cover the stems
and under sides of the leaves. not
alone the upper sides.
Spraying is of no use whatever
for willis or soil diseases, as the
trouble, though indicated by the
leaves does not lie there, but in
the stems where it cannot be
reached.

HAD A fine
VISIT TO The
centennial

Salem's big delegation to Astoria
left Wednesday evening as per
schedule and reached Portland on
time and left on the Steamer HASA
10 about 10 o'clock. The accommo-
dations on the boat were superb and
the treatment the best ever" The
party reached Astoria at Z a. m,
Thursday, and at 10 o'clock by ar
rangement met at the Elk's hall.
There they were given an address of
welcome by Mayor Donaldson, and
royal welcome it was too and it was
ably responded to by B. w. Miles, of
South Salem. A. F. Hofer, who had
preceded the party, announced the
program for the day and made a
brief speech then the party had
their picture took, and proceeded
to visit the grounds. They were
given a free ride down to the bar,
and on this trip the Journal repre-
sentative, H. L. Clark, acted as Off
cial announcer pointing out the
many interesting places. Space, or
lack of it, prevents at this time an
extended description of the fair, but
the party returned delighted with
the trip Astoria, Astorians and the

Adjournment
NEXT WEEK IS
FORECASTED
UNITED PRESS LEASED wIRE.l

Washington, Aug. 1S.-Speedy
tariff action in the house, and ad-
journment by the middle of next
week was forecasted by Democratic
Leader Underwood today.
In explanation of his reasons for
this forecast Underwood said:
"The cotton bill passed yesterday
in the senate is exactly the same bill
sent over by the house. 1t will be
acted upon before adjournment.
The Democratic members of the
ways and means committee will get
together this afternoon to consider
amendments, but I do not believe the
steel and iron schedule will vary
greatly from that prepared by the
ways and means committee. 1t may
be accepted.
Revision of the chemical and cot
ton machinery schedules and the re-
ciprocal provision for free coal be.
tween the United States and Canada
are debatable, but may be accepted" "

AFRAID The
NEGRO WILL
BE LYNCHED

Becoming alarmed for fear that the
indignant citizens of Dallas would
carry out their threats to take John
Mayors, the would-be negro rapist,
from the county Jail at that place
and lynch him; a deputy sheriff tel
ephoned to the city last evening with
the hope of locating Sheriff Grant
and receiving from him instructions
as to what precaution to take against
the mob should it decide to make
raid on the Jail. Sheriff Grant had
gone to Brownsville and could not
be located but it is understood that
the deputy sheriffs of their own ini-
tiative, increased their force for the
purpose of guarding the negro,
Advocate Mob Law.
The information was sent to the
sheriff's office here and they were
asked to locate Sheriff Grant. The
deputy stated that ever since Mayors
had been brought to Dallas the peo-
pie of that city had advocated string
ing him up to a tree. The sentiment
in favor of it, he stated, was grow
ing stronger each day and last night
he feared an attack might be made
on the Jail with the view of taking
him out and lynching him.
All of Mayors crimes were COM
mitted in Polk county and there he
must be tried for them. He assault
! ed two women with intent of rapine
them and signified his intentions ot
doing the same with two others. Al
the people at Dallas look at it, ever
Though he is convicted, the day will
come again when he will be turned
loose to again prey upon society anC
they believe in permanently dispos
ing of him, so that he can never re
peat any of his dastardly crimes.
Preliminary Monday.
Mayors will be given his prelimi
nary hearing Monday. In view o
the mob sentiment existing in Dallas
and the surrounding country he viii
be taken to the court room, wher
the hearing is to be held, heavil
guarded. The indignation agains
the negro is reported today to hav
quieted down, but it is feared tina
when a glimpse is secured of hin
when he is taken from his cell to tn
court room, that it will become un
controllable and that an attemr
, will be made to take him from tn
, officers.

DEPARTMENT

Washington, Aug. 1S.-Resuming
his testimony today before the house
committee on expenditures in the
gracultural department, while his
bride sat in corner of the chamber
and smiled encouragement, DR.. Har-
vey W. Wiley, chief of the bureau of
chemistry, cited several instances in
which bulletins prepared by him had
been suppressed.
After my poison squad expert
ments,' Wiley said, 81 wrote a bulle-
tin on sulphate of copper, which was
suppressed because the bureau of

mitted the publication of a bulletin

The JOURNAL
SENT THEM ON
WRONG TRAIN

The Journal yesterday, in telling
of the Salem delegation going to AS
toria, made a bad mistake as to the
road they travelled on. The Journal
said they went on a splendid special
train over the Oregon Electric,
when, as a matter OF fact, the fine
train was hauled on the Southern
Pacific. Not only did it go over the
S. P, but Agent Houston, with that
well-developed trait CT his, that al
ways insists on fair play, had the
train start from the Commercial
street crossing, just between the
brewery and the city water office, and
near the freight house, where they
could handily loan on cargo of eth
er, just as 1t suited them. The Jour-
nal reporter knew better than to
credit the Oregon Electric with car.
rying that delegation, and so did the
proofreader, and they will scrap 1t
out between themselves, and the pub
lie can lay the blame on either or
both. Anyway, the public can BET
its last scad that Bert Houston
didn't either write the story or read
the proof. Anyway, the boys got
there, just the same.
