Ovners of private floating baths are
working hard 10 fulfil the stipulations laid
down hv the Board OF Health. OF private
baths permit has been issued for the
NEPTUNE Baths. at t9th ST. and mo Huo-
son River. and for Meffert's pool, near the
river front, in East saith St. as they have
come I'd to requirements. The Washing

the Board of Health" IN en- advertise
ment Of this latter bathing establishment
the DEPUTY Commissioner OF Health, DR.
Haven Emerson. who has active charge
of bathing permits said yesterday after
noon.
This staten ent j. false and misleading.
Some time ago, owing 10 the enormous
sewage pollution Of tho East and North
rivers. the Board Of Health put a ban on
river bathing south Of 1Aoth st. Pending
further Investigations temporary permits
we're granted Hudson River baths north
Of l45th ct. This temporary permit IN no
way constitutes a certificate OF a clean
bill Of health. The department has notl-
fed the proprietors Of the baths 10 omit
this misleading statement from their sd-
vertisement."
At Donohue's office hs secretary SAID
the Objectionable matter would be omit
ted. Donohues possession Of long term
lease was one of the snags which had 70
be contended with By the health officials
The same lease figured IN other years In
the bath problem.

THE EXPERIMENTS WITH POTATOES !.
BEING MADE AT AROOSTOOk FARM

Plot 3. Basal mixture and 1-3 of the
nitrogen in form of nitrate of soda and
1-3 in form of sulphate of ammonia.
| Plot 4. Basal mixture and Ia of the
nitrogen in form of high grade organic
and 1-3 in form of nitrate of soda.
Plot 5. Basal mixture and 1-3 of the
nitrogen in form of high grade organic

monia.
Another experiment is in continual
ton of one started at Highmoor Farm
several years ago. The Experiment
Station IN common with many other
growers has experienced considerable
trouble in getting strains of Cob5lers
which would breed true" Since the
majority of Cobblers raised In this
State are shipped south for seed pur-
poses it is desirable that they should
be as true to type as possible. In 1911
the Experiment Station began select
ing individual hills which showed the
ideal Cobbler type. This work was not
started as an attempt to breed or i'm
prove the potatoes but simply to get
strains which would be true to name.
Additional hill selections were made in
1912 and in 1913. Each selection has
been kept separate and the most de-
sirable ones were sent to Aroostook
Farm this spring and planted in sep
arate plots. In all there are between
two and three acres of these Cobbler
selections this year
Last year at Highmoor Farm iron
sulphate was used to spray a small plot
of potatoes in order to kill the mustard
in the rows. The spray apparently in
jured the vines quite severely causing
the leaves to turn black and wther.
At harvest time, however, it was found
that the sprayed plot yielded very
much better than the unsprayed check
plot lying next to it. 1t seems not i'm
possible that the pruning" caused by
the iron sulphate may have stimulated
tuber production. At least it seemed
worth while to repeat this experiment
at Aroostook Farm. About one acre of
Green Mountains were planted for this
purpose.
An experiment is being carried on in
cooperation with the Rhode Island
Experiment Station. In recent years
| the practice of southern growers in US
ing northern seed has been called into
question. Ii seems desirable to have
some definite experimental data bear
ing on this question. Accordingly,
starting with the same lots of seed q
small plot of Green Mountains and one
of Cobblers are being grown this year.
both at Aroostook Farm and at Kings
ton, Rhode Island. Next year the
Maine grown seed will be compared
with the Rhode Island grown seed by
the Rhode Island Station.
Other than work that the plant path
ologist is doing with common scab and
powdery scab. the foregoing covers the
chief experiments with potatoes now
under way at Aroostook Farm. 1t is
hoped that these viii aid in answering
few Of the questions that Aroostook
] farmers want TO know

POTATO EXPERTS
GATHER AT THE
HOULTON PARK
Federal and Foreign Authorities
Dine and Talk Over
Diseases

Houlton, Me, Aug. 5.-Houlton has
been pleased at having an opportunity
of entertaining members of the fed
eral board of inspection of plant in
dustry, who have been touring Aroos-
took during the past week. The party
arrived here from Fort Fairfield at
$40 o'clock in automobiles, under the
guidance of C. A. Powers, P. II. Reed,
Mr.. Haines and Mr.. Currier. They pro-
ceeded TO Crescent park where some of
Houlton's business men, who are par
ticularly interested in the potato in
austry gathered to meet them.
The party were DR.. Gusson, repre-
senting the botanical department of
the Dominion of Canada and DR.,
Guieahart. DR.. Appel of Germany, DR..
Melhaus, Prof. Johnston of Virginia,
Prof. Corbett, w. A. orion, w. j.
Morse, c. r. Wheeler and Prof. Stew
art with their guests and assistants.
On arriving at Crescent park they
found a salmon dinner with all the &C
cessories awaiting them, and in honor
of the occasion, Landlord Stephenson
had arranged a pyramid of potatoes
en- a table. Numerous potato bugs
were pinned to the tuber while a few
potato blossoms were used to decorate
the pyramid.
On the peak was a small silk flag.
ers, grasses and grain while the pa
vilion was decorated in cedar and
roses. Several small girls dressed in
white, assisted in waiting ON the
tables. After doing justice to the good
things Leonard A. Pierce, Esq, was in
troduced as POSTMASTER.
Talks We're given by Prof. Corbett,
w. j. Morse, Prof. Johnston, DR.. Gus
son of Canada, and DR.. Appel of Ger
many. Their remarks were of peculiar
interest to all present, and covered in
a general way history of potato cul-
ture bearing particularly on the vari-
Gus diseases of the tuber, the proper
handling and preparing of the ground
and seed, as well as the marketable
product. DIR. Gusson, spoke upon the
international aspect of diseases as per-
tanning to the relation to this and 9TH
er countries. T
Prof. Johnston's remarks were inter
estlng as illustrating the handling of
seed potatoes in the south. He gave
many important facts as to the value
Of seed properly produced in their dis
tricts before shipment. DR.. Appel spoke
in German, which was translated by
Dr. Gusson, and covered many import
ant points in potato culture as carried
on in Germany, comparisons being
madS with methods in this country.
Houlton, as well as all of Aroostool
county has profited by the opportunity
to meet and listen to these gentlemen
as they are leaders in scientific stud
les along these lines of plant culture.

Orono, Me-, Aug. s. Especially -
The people Of Aroostook were suffi-
GENTLY interested in the agricultural
development of the county to secure
the passage of a bill in the last Legis-
! lature creating Aroostook Farm and
placing it under the control of the
Maine Agricultural Experiment Station
! These men undoubtedly expect that the
Experiment Station will do some work
with potatoes. 1t would be unwise as
well as useless for the Experiment Sta
ton to go into Aroostook County and
attempt to demonstrate how to raise
| potatoes. The majority of Aroostook
farmers can grow more and better po-
tatoes than the Experiment Station can
| hope to do. Further 1t has never been
the practice of the Maine Agricultural
Experiment Station to carry on purely
demonstration work. The function of
the Experiment Station is to investi-
gate and by means of experiments to
ascertain new facts which shall be for
the immediate or eventual benefit of
agriculture.
| AS aside from the gift of the Ban
gor and Aroostook Railroad the Station
has no funds that can be used for work
on Aroostook Farm, for the present
year it has been necessary to plan ex-
periments which could be carried on
with a minimum cost. Consequently,
no experiments involving much techni-
cal care throughout the season could be
started.
The first experiment that may be
mentioned is one on the method of
applying fertilizer. Three methods are
los faH eli hy CT w,
of these 1000 lbs. of fertilizer per acre
was applied broadcast before planting
and 500 lbs. applied with the planter.
In the second method 1900 lbs. were
applied with the planter and in the
third method 1000 lbs were applied in
the planter and 500 lbs. at the first Gull
tivation. Each of these methods is be-
ing tested in duplicate on plots of ap-
proximately one acre each
The second experiment is designed to
test the ability of ammonium sulphate
to furnish portion of the nitrogen for
the potato crop. Sulphate of ammonia
is now being developed in large
amount in the process Of making coke
from coal. If a portion of the nitro
gen could be supplied in this form 1t
would not only lessen the cost of the
fertilizer but it would tend to make us
independent of foreign countries for
our nitrogen supply. The fertilizer
used consists of a base" containing
the phosphate and potash and 1-3 of
the total nitrogen. The remainder of
the nitrogen is furnished in the form
of nitrate of soda and sulphate of am
monia as indicated in the following
outline. Each plot is approximately
one acre in area.
Plot l. Basal mixture and 2-3 of the
nitrogen in the form of nitrate of soda
Plot 2. Basal mixture and 2-3 of the
nitrogen in form of sulphate of am
monia.
