says:
"The potato stalks you sent to
us contain insects known as pota-
to stalk borers. This pest can not
be killed after it enters the stalk.
The only thing to do is to pull and
burn the diseased vines as soon as
the insects are discovered. Do
not let the vines lie around to wilt,
but burn them as soon as they
have become infested. This dis
position Of the vines may demand
cooperation by other persons in
the neighborhood, if their potato
stalks have been attacked, but IL
may be the only way to prevent a
serious outbreak of the pests, and
great loss in the next year. 1t is a
comparatively new pest, and shows
that such things are coming be-
fore us more and more, and need

out to an economical and practi-
cable footing the process that is
used to an extent in connection
with the production of some grades
of cement to secure potassium
chloride. Yet it is recognized that
the cost entailed makes the pro-
cess of little value at present for
the production OF potash. The
profits over cost. as figured by the
Scientific American, need to be
enlarged in order to make the ex-
traction of potash profitable. Yet
/ there may be some other method
hit upon that will give better re-
suits. AT any rate, a fertilizer
:amine will be warded off by the
| inventive ingenuity of Americans
or by the discovery of natural re-
sources of the much-sought-for
soil necessity.

A Fertilizer Famine

n fertilizer famine may be far
removed in time, but the rapid de-
pletion of some OF the active
agents of the soil that are too
slowly restored by unaided nature
to make good the crop drains con-
stltutes one OF the gravest prob
lens in agriculture presented in
this country. The element that is
difficult to replace is potassium,
and the United States, as the
Scientific American points out, is
under the necessity of importing
many millions Of dollars of this in
valuable substance from Germany.
Hence it was that during the pres
ent Year serious controversy was
raised between Germany and the
United States over potash con-
tracts of the German suppliers
with the American users. Ger
many is loath to make concessions
as the native resources OF potash
are becoming rapidly exhausted,
and unless there shall be discover
ed some method Tor the substitu-
ton o. artiflcially produced potas-
sum Tor the native article from
Germany, that country will be
forced to put the bars down upon

No Reason for Theft From Com

ming Early in March.

Leavenworth, Kan, July 15.-When
confronted by J. H. Bliss. jr., of Au
rora, ILL.,, auditor for the Peoples
Home Telephone company with a
charge of embezzlement, James B.
Reed, manager of the company, con-
fessed. The shortage is $1,8O9. A
warrant was served upon him a few
minutes later. He is now in the coun-
ty Jail.
There was no suspicion Of any
croOkedness in Reeds accounts, and
the defalcation became known only
when the auditor entered upon his
regular inspection of the books We'd
nesday morning. 1t quickly became
apparent that something was wrong
AS the investigating proceeded the
size of the amount missing grew. The
proof of crookedness was so absolute
that Reed was asked to turn over his
keys and surrender his position.
Reed made no attempt to deny his
guilt His populations had been go
ing on since March. He had an ac-
curate account of all his stealings and
frankly gave them to the auditor.
Why he had robbed the telephone
company he did not know, nor could
he say what he had done with the
money. For his services he had been
receiving fair salary.
In the capacity of manager. all or a
great deal of the money of the COM
pany went through Reeds hands. Ac-
counts handled are made out in du-
plicate. and the money turned over to
the manager. Not all of this was
transmitted to the Aurora office. A
shortage was found in the item of
collections from toll boxes, and the
working fund" of the company had
also been made to yield it's share to
the telephone company manager. No
careful effort had been made to cover
the thefts. and they would have been
found by anyone familiar with book
keeping.
Reed came to Leavenworth from
Washington, D. c., with his wife and
child. He was a thoroughly exper-
fenced electrician and a capable tele-
phone man. He esta blished himself
at the Planters House and resided
there since In December Mrs. Reed
and the child went to Washington,
D. c., and have since made their
home with the formers parents.
