Treatment of Seed
Potatoes For Scab

Potato scab is a disease we'll
known to all experienced growers
of potatoes. In some sections it
is so prevalent as to prohibit sue
cessful potato culture. Seed po-
tatoes free from scab, or through
ly disinfected to kill the germs,
will produce a crop free from the
disease. Avoid planting potatoes
in fields known to be infected
rotate with grains, alfalfa, cotton
or sugar cane. The scab fungus
is favored by alkaline soils. All
seed potatoes should be disinfect-
ed before planting even if they
appear free from the disease and
and regardless of their source.
Before disinfecting seed potatoes
should be sorted out and all
which are decayed in any degree
should be rejected. Large quan-
titles may be fumigated with
formaldehyde gas, but it is prob
able that disinfecting with a So
luton of formalin is more effect
i've than the gas treatment. Be-
fore cutting potatoes for planting
soak for two hours in a solution
of one pint of commercial for
malin (40 per cent? to 80 gallons
of water. At the same time
sacks or buckets in which the
potatoes are to be stored after
treatment should also be disin-
fected.

THE MESSAGE

In his address to congress on
trusts, which is the longest he
has yet delivered, President Will
son shows the he has studied the
the trust problem in America
thoroughly. His recommends
tions, which the president says,
should be put into force without
unsettling business, hit at the root
of the trust evils.
Perhaps the most revolutionary
proposal of the president is his
suggestion that the government
should enable individuals who
have lost from illegal combina-
tions to recover damages. Mr..
Wilson would enable those filing
such suits to submit testimony
gathered by the government as
evidence. Another of the Wilson
recommendations whichshould, if
put into effect, go for toward
eliminating illegal combinations,
is that which would provide for
the punishment of the individuals
responsible fol them.
The federal trade commission,
the supervision of railroad fnan-
ces by the interstate commerce
commission, and the abolishment
of interlocking directorates and
holding companies, have been dis
cussed for a long time, and have
been generally expected as por-
tions of the recommendations for
antitrust legislation by the new
administration. The same ap-
plies to President Wilson'S plea
for a clearer definition of trusts,
although he is not as specific on
this point as might have been ex-
pected. Perhaps the president is
undecided about this, hoping to
obtain light from the hearings to
be held soon on antitrust legisla-
tion in Washington.

SUIT CASE BY PARCEL POST.
Here is a Good Tip for Those Going
on a Vacation.

If you are going to the country and
want to lend a few gray hairs to the
heads of Postmaster William E. kel-
.ly and Albert P. Kuck, superinten-
dent of mails at the Brooklyn post
office, just ship your suit case to its
destination by parcel post, says The
Brooklyn Eagle. Or, better still, af-
ter you get there fill it with laundry
and send it to the city to have the
things done up and returned to you.
Everybody's doing it.
According to Superintendent kuck,
the practice of sending clothes and
linen to and from the city to be laun-
dered and returned has grown to be
quite a fad. Every two hours there
are between 20 and 80 suit cases re-
ceived at the main postofflce in
Brooklyn for parcel post shipment
The low cost at which shipments can
be made has made it very attractive
custom to hundreds of vacationists
the charge for any point within a ra'
dius of $50 miles being only five
cents for the first pound and one cent
for each additional pound up to so
An empty suit case weighs about foul
+ or five pounds. and when full about
35 or 40 pounds.

Brussels, Via Paris, Aug. 6.-1:3S
A. M.)-Several thousand dead and

on Liege. The Belgians made a he
roic defence, repulsing the Germans

Eight hundred wounded Germans
are being transferred to the city of
Liege, where they will be cared for.
Prior to the attack on Liege Gen.
Won Emmich, commanding the Ger
man army of the Meuse, issued a
proclamation calling for an open
road through Belgium for the ad-
vance of his forces, and suggesting
that prudence would show it to be
the duty of the Belgian peop!e'to ac-
cede to this to avoid the horrors of
war.
The Germans committed repres-
sions against the civil population of
the town of Wise, eight miles north
east of Liege, burning the city and
shooting residents.

rs KILLED IN WRECK.
Two Trains on Kansas City Southern
in Head-On Collision.

Joplin, Mo-, Aug. 5.-Thirty-eight
persons were killed and twenty-five
injured in a collision between North
bound Passenger Train No. 2. on the
Kansas City Southern Railway and
a Missouri and North Arkansas Rail-
way gasoline motor car, running on
the Kansas City Southern's tracks,
near Tipton's Ford, ten miles south
of here, tonight. Mistaken orders are
said to have caused the accident.
According to reports received here
both the motor car and the train
were running at a high rate of speed
when they met at Tipton's Ford. a
small siding. With the collision
came the explosion of the gasoline
reservoir of the motor car, setting
both the motor car and the train
afire. Every person in the motor
car was killed, it is said.
None of the passengers on the train
was killed.
Because of the rapid spread of the
flames the number of dead was not
known hours after the accident. Some
reports said it would reach sixty.
The motor car is said to have had
orders to pass the north-bound train
at Tiptons Ford. The train crew had
similar orders. Instead of waiting
for the train to pass, however, the
motor car is said to have proceeded
south, and upon reaching a curve a
mile beyond the collision came.

SUMMER WIDOWERS.
Being a Plea for Establishment OF a
Refuge for Deserted Ones.

That half-portion of homo yclept
summer widowers is queer fish, out
of water. This is not an allusion to
his aversion to that drinkable ele-
ment during his wife's absence, but
rather to his being out of his ele-
ment. He is also out at elbows. This
darnless, buttonless embodiment OF
all creature discomforts wandering
aimlessly and listlessly but restlessly
through his summer celibacy, fire.
quenting the hermitage of deserted
house, or STUN bling heavily through
a routine of forced diversions, would
be the most pathetic object in the
world if he were not the most absurd.
One may sympathize with, but not
weep at the plight of chicken which
is being rained on. One might de-
plore, but scarcely sob over, the con-
dition of a wilted summer widower
who did not remember to send his
clothes to the laundry last week.
AS misery loves the most miserable
company possible, the summer wild
over is frequently seen focking with
others of his kind. Large coveys of
them, uttering cheerless sounds like
flock Of curlews or raincrows, may
be discerned any evening at this sea-
son in our large interior metropolis.
The most horrible examples of the
silly season, they darken clubs, gar
dens and other places Of socalled
amusement with funeral shade and
turn other pleasure seekers into
mourners like themselves. IN. B.

ers may feel free to cut this out and

ORIENTAL RUGS.
Interesting Information Concerning
These Priced Possessions.

Rugs are made very generally
throughout Asia Minor, and to a
small extent in Syria, says the In
dianapolis News. The most impor-
tant centre of the industry is Ouchak
while Ghiordes, Kulha, Sivas, Caesa-
rea and Panderma are we'll known.
Modern Turkish rugs, reads a consul
lar report, are of two distinct kinds:
"a The natural native product, made
after old methods and following more
or less old district designs, but al
most always in gaudy aniline colors;
CD the product of looms operated
by one of the big rug-making firms
where looms, yarns, designs, etc., are
furnished by the company. These
last are usually we'll made, in aliza-
rim colors "a great Improvement over
the aniline,) but are usually artifi-
cially aged, cost more, and are Of less
real interest to a rug collector.
The finest quality of modern Tur-
kish rugs are made in Caesarea and
Panderma, where old prayer and silk
rugs are faithfully copied in texture
and design if not in color. By chem
ical washing and other means these
rugs are sometimes made to look old
and are passed on to credulous buy
ers as valuable antiques. Turkish
rugs are largely made by women and
children who are paid to 25 cents
day, the average being about 10
cents.
According to Turkish customs sta
tistics, during the Turkish year
March IA, 1911, to March 13, 1912
there were 3,564,6S4 pounds Of Tur'
kish rugs. valued at s3,59S,416, ex'
ported from Turkish dominions. Oi
these, 172,697 pounds, valued a,
s1S9,56S went to the United States
These figures are incomplete. United
States import statistics show the re-
ceipt from Turkey in the fiscal yeal
1913 of s1,s52,254 worth of rugs
and carpets. The export duty OF
rugs from all of Turkey, including
Syria is l per cent. of the value. The
trade routes for Turkish rugs arr
Constantinople and Smyrna to New
York, Philadelphia and Boston, viz
Patras, Triests, Naples, Marseille'
or Liverpool.
The rugs of Turkey are made chief
" for export, though many are con
sumed at home. Constantinople i
