Directions For The Control of Potato
Diseases <

The potato Crop is especially SEN
sitive to soil conditions, certain
types of soil predisposing it to di-
sease. Certain diseases. as already
explained, may be carried in the
manure or perpetuated in the soil.
Hence the Importance of attention
to soil and fertilization.
Soil. A sandy or gravelly clay
loan is the best soil for potatoes, in
any case avoid heavy wet soils or
clays that cannot be properly Grain
ed.
Rotation. Rotate with other crops
painting potatoes not oftener than
once in three years.
Fertilization. Do not use fresh
horse manure on potato land, or
manure from other animals fed on
diseased uncooked potatoes. Do
not use lime or ashes on potato land.
Turning under a green crop like rye
or cover sod, is the ideal prepara-
tion for potatoes.
Seed Selection
Source of Seed. Avoid using
seed potatots from fields or crops
that suffered badly from the d /.
seases known to be carried with the
seed, i. e. scab, black e, late blight
wilt and the various types of rot.
Foreign Seed. A very serious
potato disease, known as "black
wart," has been spreading in recent
years through Europe, both on the
Continent and in Great Britain.
Two years ago, it appeared in Eas t.
ern Canada, having been brought
from Europe. This disease is carried
on the seed. and under no circum-
stances should foreign seed pota-
toes be imported unless subject to
the most rigid inspection.
Sorting Seed, Sort carefully just
before planting and use only clean,
sound. smooth tubers for the seed.
Discolored Flesh. When cutting
tubers for planting, careful look
out should be kept for any showing
of discolored flesh. If badly discol-
1
ored, they should be thrown out and
not used for seed. If seed is scarce
or high priced and the discoloration
is slight. especially if is confined to
the stem end, the tuber may be used
providing such discolored part is
cut off and rejected.

TURKS PROVED EASY
Balkan Allies Overwhelm Them,
Says Minister to Greece.

George H. Moses. the retiring American
Minister to Greece and Montenegro, who
saw the allies and Turks come together
in one OF the early battles OF the present
Balkan war, arrived here yesterday on
the Cunard liner Mauretania on the way
TO his home In New Hampshire
Nothing could have prevented the war,
he said az the whole campaign had been
planned for many months in advance,
Precision, delLberation, real fighting abil-
ity and strategy or high order he said,
were the features OF the allied troops.
Two days before the FIRST battle began
Mr.. Moses said he was Informed that II
he went 10 Detchich, where there was a
Turkish stronghold on q mountain top, he
would see the first decisive battle OF the
war, which would be IN favor OF the allies
He went, and from distance saw the
infantry OF the allies backed by their field
artillery take the Turkish stone fortress
after fight lasting for five hours. Win
him at his place OF observation, he
said, was general Martinovich, COM
mander OF the Montenegrin army, whom
he described as the great dynamo OF the
country" -
The allies, he said, who we're yearnlng
for night, felt confident always that they
would be victorious, but were greatly
surprised 10 find that the Turks were not
able to rally and give them harder battle.

PLENIP0TENTlARIES FOR
ARMISTiCE NEGOTIATIONS
Three Bulgarians Will Act Also
for Montenegro and Servia
Greeks Appoint Two.

Sofa, Nov. 22.-The Bulgarian troops
have occupied Dedeagatch, on the Gulf
of Enos, and Niagara, about forty
miles northeastward therefrom, which
opens the entire territory west Of Con-
stantinopls for the advance Of the allies

leaving 800 dead on the field.
DR.. S. Daneff. president of the Bull
garian Parliament; General savoff,
Bulgarian commander in chief, and
General F1tchek, the chief of staff of
the Bulgarian army. have been ap-
pointed Bulgarian plenipotentiaries for
the negotiation Of an armistice between
the Turkish and Bulgarian armies.
They will proceed Immediately to the
Tchataldja lines to meet the Turkish
plenipotentiaries there. It is expected
that fresh negotiations will be begun
within twenty-four hours.

and Captain Frantzis, the Greek mill
tary attache at ConstantiDople, tempo
rarily attached to the Bulgarian army
headquarters, have been appointed to
represent Greece in the armistice ne
gotiations. SerVia and Montenegro
both will be represented by the Bull
garian Observation-Disclosures.
Indications grow that Bulgaria will
adopt a conciliatory attitude and will
modify the conditions originally offered
TO the Turkish government.
A special meeting of the Bulgarian
Cabinet was held to-day to consider the
rejection by Turkey Of the terms of the
proposed armstice.
1t is asserted that the Cabinet has
given the European powers the assur-
ance that the Bulgarian troops will not
enter Constantinople and that this will
obviate interference from Europe.
In the meantime military operations
will not necessarily be stopped, but II
is understood that the Bulgarian troops
will remain passive unless attacked by
the Turks.
II is thought improbable here that
active hostilities. with the exception,
perhaps, of an artillery duel, will be
Immediately resumed, as the command
ers of both armies are fully occupied
in combating the cholera.

ences over a division of spells are again
cropping out. The Greek semi-official
press claims that the issue of the war
would have been very different except
for the immense services of the Greek
with the purpose Of recapturing the
feet in preventing two hundred thou
sand Turks from Asia Minor Joining
the army in Thrace. The claim also is
made that the Greek army and fleet
have accomplished as much as the
three other allies combined.
Reports emanating from Vienna an
nounce that the Albanians will pro-
claim their independence to-day at
Durazzo, from which place the Ser
VANS are yet four or five days march.

Constantinople. Nov. 22.-The latest
information received here from the
Turkish army headquarters are to the
effect that there was only slight skir-
mishing to-day and several uninpor-
tant outpost fights. No mention is made
in the dispatches OF the armistice pour
parlers, and 1t is understood they have
not yet been resumed. A dispatch re-
ceived to-day from Nazim Pacha. the
Turkish generalissimo, says:
There was a slight cannonade on
our right wing to-day. The enemy's
battery in the environs OF EzzeddIn
fired on our works at Mektebharbich,
to which our batteries replied. In re-
connoissances on the left wing we coll
lected quantity OF army effects aban-
doned by the enemy. The Bulgarians
also bombarded Buyuk Tchekmedche,
on the Sea Of Marmora, firing eighty
shells. The fleet replied and silenced
the enemy's guns.
Last night our reconnoissances ad-
vanced az far as the village Of Ezzeddin
and drove back the enemy, infiicting a
heavy loss and silencing their artillery
posted on the heights near the village.
At intervals this morning the enemy's
batteries In the environs OF Ezzcddin

cannonade were unimportant"
