The Caraboas and Filibinos.

The Caraboas have but one honorary
member left, that being former Pres
ident Taft. In the investigation of the
Caraboa dinner the army and navy
men who had 1T in charge emphatically
declared that nothing was further from
their intention than to make light of
the Administration policies. The Pres
ident's rebuke. however. emphasizes
the claim of those who have opposed
Philippine independence, that practi-
cally ever person who has visited the
PHILIPPINES is firm in the belief that to
turn these people lose to Their own des-
TIMES would produce great harm. and
many go so far as to say that it would
be crime against civilization.

tenance, it is not probable that any
economic issue would ever have grown
out of our prison system. But in course
of time the enforced labor of numerous
individuals under single management
attracted both public and private
cupidity: and in some American COM
monwealths the unhappy convict has
been exploited not only to the profit of
the state, but the products Of his labor
have become menace to the economic
welfare of the whole community.
Through the infuene of prison con-
tractors, it is anticipated that strenu-
Gus opposition will be made to this bill
in the Senate if the House does pass it.
Still it probably will go through. The
Peters eight. hour bill is in better posi-
ton, for it has already passed the Sen
ate. If the House passes it it will be-
come law. Testimony on this bill
before the committees of Senate end
House have shown some serious abuses
in the District, and in any event. as
the House committee on Labor says in
Its report, the long hours and continu-
al application required from women
workers in our Industries have been a
great drain upon the vitality of those
who are to be the mothers of the COM
ing generations. According to the
report of the Commissioner of Labor
obtained as early as 1905 it appears
that the value of merchandise produc-
ed at that time in penal institutions
was thirty four million dollars a year.

State A. c. Scientists
Talk POtatOe Diseases

Farmers of Utah will lose in the
aggregate over $l.000.000 as the re-
suit OF the loss caused to the potato
crop of this state by certain diseases.
This is the statement made by party
Of scientists at the State Agricultural
College, who have been studying the
result OF certain diseases on this
years crop. Fields, which under nor
nal conditions would yield four hun
dred bushels. they say will not pro-
duce one-fourth that quantity. Other
fields will not return the seed plaEt-
ed last spring. Taking all in con-
sideration, the scientists figure that
at least one-half CT the normal yield
will be lost. In 1913, according to the
year book of the department of agri-
culture, Utah produced a potato crop
valued at S2.0SS,000. This year fully
as much land has been planted to
this crop. II. then, as the college
men say one-half of the crop is lost,
the farmers OF Utah will lose over
one million dollars.
The cause of this loss is due large
ly to three diseases of the potato
and in order to prevent the en-
tire potato industry of the state being
ruined. 1t will be necessary for the
farmers to be careful in the selection
Of their seed, say the scientists. After
selecting the cleanest seed possible,
the stem end of each tuber should be
cut off. All tubers showing any dis
| celebration In the potato should be dis
| carded. To plant them would mean
planting the disease and certain ruin
alton OF the crop. After the selected
seed is cut II should be soaked for
two hours In solution of either one
pint of formalin to thirty gallons of
water, or one ounce OF mercury
bicloride to Is gallons of water.
Yet this Is not all, these diseases
I've for three or four years in the
soil. II seed thus treated and cared
or were planted in the came soil
which this year produced diseased
,ubers. the chances are that the crop
resulting would also be destroyed
This is because the disease viii re-
main In the soil for one to five years
Potato land once producing diseased
ubers should not be used again for
that purpose until Il period of at least
FIVE years has elapsed. Clean pota-
toes on clean land should be the rule.
In this connection farmers should
be careful not 10 use mandrc from
animals to which have been fed
diseased potatoes. These diseases
are not destroyed by having been pas.
sed through the digestive organs of
AN animal. Manure from such
source Is alright to use on any land
except that to which potatoes have
been planted.
The college men say they cannot
Impress upon the farmers of the state
too strongly the-danger they are run
ming into In allowing those diseases
to get start They say the old max
ium about an ounce of prevention and
a pound of cure should be supplied
and kept In mind in dealing with the
case, thus ensuring Utah good ex-
portation of potatoes instaed of such
an enormous loss.
