Strenuous measure are to be adopt
ed by government scientists to pre-
serve the country's potato crop, which,
plant Psychologists declare, is in grave
danger of destruction
Experts from almost every part of
the globe have been called together to
investigate the diseases that are now
affecting potatoes throughout Amer
lea, and they will begin their work
within the next few weeks in Van
Buren,, Maine.
After Aroostook county has been
covered thoroughly the scientists will
examine the other recognized potato
fields of the United States. Their itin-
erary will include western New York.
Ohio, Michigan, Minnesota, Wisconsin
and the potato fields of Utah. Colorado

E. II. Grub. one of the most fam,
Gus of American potato specialists, de-
oares that unknown plant diseases
have attacked the crop in almost ev-

| Gus is the condition that Utah, until

STARTING MARC0NI
i. WIRELESS PLANT

Actual work has been started to
ward the construction of the dupli
cate station of the Marconi company
at Koke Head, described in this paper
some weeks ago. Materials for con
struction camp have been hauled to
the ground, where, owing to the dis
lance from town, the workers will
have to live during the building of the
big towers and the installation of the
plant. u.
Material for the masts has been re.
ceived and more of the equipment will
arrive by an early steamer. 1t is
hoped to have the station ready for
operation in six months, together with
another station at Kahuku, the two
being connected by land telegraph.
While the erection of the Koko Head
station is in progress, a temporary
station will maintain connection with
the company's plant in San Francisco.
AS previously stated the trans-oceanic
plant will be of so horsepower, or 800
kilowatts in electrical terms. and is
expected to be the most powerful ever
built.
Plans of the lands conveyed to the
Marconi company by the Bishop ard
Campbell estates for the station have
been recorded at the registry of con-
veyances.
