SENATOR TANNER
SEES "NIGGER'

Int talk of Statehood and its ad- yocacy by those who have been op- posing the movement to secure a full Territorial form of government" for Alaska has aroused considerable talk among the members of the Legislature during the last few days. The sup porters of a wider measure of self government for the Territory are ser. erally suspicious of the movement Among those who see a "Nigger in the wood pile" is Senator J. M Tanner who adheres to the position he took in the Senate when he spoke on the Hubbard memorial which 1t was sought to substitute for the Willard memorial in the Senate.
 Senator Tanner said on that occas- ion:
 Consistency is a jewel. It looks inconsistent to me for a Senator to claim on one day when discussing memorial asking for full Territorial form of government that the time was not ripe for it, because the expense would be too much, and the next day to bring in a memorial asking for Statehood 1t looks to me as though there is a good sized colored gentle. man in the woodpile.
 "I believe this Statehood memorial is just another method by which it is sought to defeat the memorial for full Territorial form of government which President Wilson has recom- mended for Alaska.
 If Statehood is knocking at our door why has there been no effort made in the last two years to pro- cure even a full Territorial form of government? Our Delegate knows that the President favors it, why has he introduced no bill to extend the powers of the Territory?"

New Orleans Latin American Gate.


Washington, Sept. 2O.-That an II
nous volume Of trade will soon be
built up with Latin America by way of
the New Orleans gateway is the con-
viction Of Walter Parker, one Of the
committee appointed by Secretary of
the Treasury McAdoo to arrange for a
series Of visits by American business
men to the countries represented in the
recent Pan-American financial confer
ence in Washington. The chairman Of
the committee is James A. Farrell,
president Of the United States Steel
corporation. The purpose of the visits
Of the groups of business men will be
to ascertain the commercial and 1inan-
cial opportunities for the United States
In the Latin American countries.
Mr.. Parker, who is the manager Of
the New Orleans Association Of Com
merce, believes that the southern city
under the expanding trade conditions
with Latin America is destined to be-
come the worlds surplus storage
market" for several important commo-
ditics, particularly cotton. "New Or
leans,' he said, lis clearing the decks
for an expansion Of the Mississippi
valleys foreign trade, particularly that
with Latin America. Co-ordinative
river-rail-ocean warehouses are being
erected"

CONCRETE VS.. WOOD sIL0s.

The cost of building a silo varies
with local conditions, such as the
prices of material, labor, etc. The av-
erage cost Of building a REINFORCED
concrete silo is from $3.50 to So per ton
capacity, while the cost of the stave
silo is about $3.50 per ton capacity
that is, a concrete silo with a capacity
Of 100 tons would cost on the average
from $3.50 to $500, while a stave silo
Of like size would cost about $3.50.
The concrete silo will last Indefinite
ly when property constructed, which
is an advantage over the stave, plaster
or wooden block. On the other hand, a
stave silo has All advantage in that it
car be moved if that is found to be
necessary. 1t is sometimes advisable
to build a stave silo If the farm build
ings are not permanently located, as
the concrete can V be movcd.-C.

LATE BLIGHT ON POTATOES,
The Disease Can Be Controlled With
Bordeaux Mixture.

Bordeaux Mixture.
Some cases of late blight of potatoes
in fields of the central and southern
portions of Wisconsin have just been
reported to the plant pathology depart
ment Of the Wisconsin College of Agri-
culture. This disease can be prevented
by spraying the potato vines with Dor
deaux mixture. Potato growers will
do well to watch the spread of the
blight closely and spray their fields be-
fore the disease appears In them. Es-
pecial watchfulness is necessary so
long as the weather continues damp,
with foggy nights, as these conditions
are favorable to the rapid growth Of
the blight.
potato growers will remember" says
j. G. Milward, in charge Of Wiscon-
sins potato seed certification work,
that 1t was the late blight which caus-
ed serious losses to the potato crop in
the state last year and resulted in low
prices. The disease not only destroys
the vines in the field, but also causes
tuber rot both or the field at harvest
time and during storage.
"The bordeaux mixture. to be efec-
tive against this disease must be ap-
piled with a pressure spray pump that
will put the liquid on under from sew
enty-five to a hundred pounds Of pres
sure. Where q single nozzle spraying
outfit is used 1t is usually necessary to
apply the mixture to the vines twice,
spraying them from opposite direc-
tons. Applications Of the bordeaux
should be made at intervals Of about
ten days. Usually about four applica-
tons are necessary during the season.
Growers are cautioned that unless thor
ough work is done in spraying benef-
cial results cannot be expected.
Bordeaux mixture made by the fol-
lowing formula will be found satisfac-
tory in controlling the late blight:
Eight pounds Of copper sulphate
(blue stone). ten pounds of lime and q
hundred gallons Of water"

Remedy For Scaly Leo.

Scaly leg, which Is caused by Il para
site working under the scales on the
legs Of the chicken, is usually con-
tracted at this season of the year while
the chicks are roosting with their feet
in the filth Of a hover which is not
properly cared for. 1t is easier to
clean the hovers often than to cure the
birds after they have contracted the
disease. Should the birds contract the
disease we have found the following
the most effective remedy: Equal parts
lard and sulphur made into a salve and
rubbed on the legs. This will cure the
disease and will not destroy the color
of the legs.

arms. 1t is expected that rifles and
ammunition will he obtained from the
state.
Mr.. Moore, who is q hunter of big
game and an explorer, having accom-
panied Colonel Roosevelt on several of
his expeditions, said:
Our country is at peace with the
world. If we could continue i'll this
state We would have no need for an
army or for reserves, but history
teaches us that war may come unex-
pectedly. a crisis arrives, events tend
toward war and then val is upon us in
Il tWfnkling. 1t is that we may be pre-
pared for such a crisis and may
meet it with the smallest Joss Of life
and property that adequate preparation
is necessary.
1--WE may say there is nothing that
could force the United States into war,
but down in our hearts we know this
is not true.
II have been discussing the idea Of
introducing the Swiss system of what
one might call manual training for de-
Tense, hoping that In this way we may
do a little III the great cause Of prepar-
ing the nation for war. Our purpose is
to put up a rifle range as adequate as
possible and try to get the people in
our town to use it. We intend to ar
range matches between country clubs
and other organizations"
