STATE AGRICULTURAL
EXPERIMENT STATION
Issues Bulletin on Diseased Seed Pota-
toes.

With the rapid increase OF potatoes
in the State Of Washington, many OF
the diseases which growers formerly be-
lieved would not affect potatoes in
this state are making their appearance.
The Department Of plant pathology OF
the Experiment Station, at Pullman,
is making a thorough study OF these
diseases as they appear, and presents
the following note OF caution with re-
ference to two which are now becom-
ing very prevalent.
Dry rot. Care should be taken that
seed potatoes are entirely free from dry
rot. The fungus which causes this
blackening and rotting Of the potatoes
is too we'll protected within the tissues
to be killed by any treatment which
does not also kill the potatoes. Dis
eased potatoes should not be fed to
stock or dumped on the land, unless
they have been thoroughly cooked to
kill the fungus. 1t is necessary to
put infected land in other crops for
several years. Last summer and fall
the Station received large number Of
letters from growers who had lost large
fields OF potatoes because the land had
become infected the previous year.
Potatoes to be used for seed should be
examined by cutting slice off the
stem end OF a number. II a black
ring shows in any of those examined it
is quite likely to be infected with dry
rot. II dry rot is suspected it is better
to get new seed. Samples of suspect
ed seed may be sent to the Expert
ment Station at Pullman for examina-
ton, no charge being made for such
an examination.
Scab. Even when seed potatoes ap-
pear perfectly free from disease it is
best to soak the cut seed for two
hours in a solution of formaldehyde
Zone pound OF formalin to thirty gal
Ions of water) before planting. This
will kill scab and any fungus spores on
the surface. Do not plant in soil which
grew scabby potatoes the preceding
year. Clean seed on clean soil is the
rule for potato growers.

The plant OF the Western Steel Cor
poration at Irondale is to be re-opened
for operation, in the near future, ac-
cording to latest reports. Some time
ago, this concern suffered some fnan-
cial difficulties and was forced to sus-
pend. Now, the Metropolitan Trust
Company of New York has acquired
the property for $4,000. Additional
capital is to be supplied from the
East. The company has some valu-
able iron concessions in the Orient.
With the opening Of the Panama Canal
and the development Of large railroad
terminals in Seattle, on Puget Sound,
it is firmly believed that a large steel
industry can be built up at Irondale.

Fruits Recommended For Planting in
Eastern Washington.

The following is the list of fruits
recommended by the Horticulturist Of
the State Agricultural Experiment Sta
ton at Pullman for planting in that
part of the State lying east of the Cas-
cade mountains. In cases where the
varieties to be recommended for plant
ing in the irrigated valleys are different
from those best adapted to the nom
Irrigated uplands, this is indicated.
The letters (E), (M) and (L) indi-
cate that the varieties ripen early, mid
season, or late, respectively. The lists
do not include varieties that might be
planted, but are those which expert
ments and actual orchard practice
have shown TO be desirable for general
planting. The varieties are arranged
alphabetically in each case:
Apples-(For the irrigated valleys)
Delicious (L), Duchess (M), Craven
stein (M). Crimes Golden (L), Jona-

Contract has been let by the Great
Northern Railway for the construction
Of the Columbia River road from We
natchee north to Pateros, to Guthrie &
Company, one of the largest railroad
construction companies in the country.
They are now subletting the work and
active building is to begin at once.
This will mark an era in the develop
ment of North Central Washington
that has long been deferred. 1t will
give the rich Okanogan farming coun-
try transportation and make it possible
to bring out the minerals from the
Chelan and Methow mining districts.
Lake Chelan, the finest body Of inland
water, in the West, will also become
accessible, for tourist travel.

startling statement was made by Still
man Green, Malachite, Col. They
told me I would die with consumption.

lung medicine and I began to use DR..

did, for today I am working and believe
1 owe my life to this great throat and

The Supreme Court OF Washington
has confirmed the judgment OF the
lower court in the case OF former Chief
Of Police Wappenstein Of Seattle, who
was found guilty Of accepting bribe.
He was sentenced to serve from three
to ten years at Walla Walla. His mis-
deeds were committed during the ad-
ministration Of Mayor H. c. Gill, who
was recalled. Wappenstein is now at
liberty on an 5000 bond. That he
will ultimately serve his time seems
probable, though the court has been
asked once more to review the case.
William J. Burns gathered the evil
dence on which Wappenstein was
convicted. It has been one of the
most notable cases ever fought out in
the courts of the Northwest.

The railroads are evidently convinc-
ed that revival Of business is at hand,
for many of them are preparing for it.
General Traffic Manager Calkins of
the Chicago, Milwaukee & Puget
Sound railway has just returned from a
conference with the heads of the road
in the East and brings back some very
optimistic views. His company on
May will install two additional trans
continental trains between Chicago
and Seattle. 1t has given orders for
200 fast locomotives, 5000 box cars,
10 standard sleepers, 10 tourist and 7
lounge observation cars, in preparation
for the rush of business expected.
Railroads are the best barometers Of
business; hence, this activity is taken
as good sign.
