BRITISH POTATO HARVEST

The potato crop of the Noting
ham district have all been harvested
and the yields have been consider
ably lighter than those of last year,
although as a rule the tubers are of
an excellent quality. Careful inqui-
ries show that the average yield for
the various kinds of potatoes will be
fully two tons per acre below the
production of IL months ago. 1t has
been a very trying season for the
growers; the frosts in June and the
long drought which followed, the raw
ages by disease. and the lack of suffi-
cient sun In July are the principal
causes of the reduced yield.
Official statistics just issued by the
hoard of agriculture show that in En-
gland and Wales 463.400 acres we're
planted to potatoes this year, COM
pared with 461,62O acres in 1914
In Lincolnshire. which is the premier
rotatoe-growing country of England.
S2,156 acres were planted, as against
S1,777 acres last year.
AS heretofore. king Edwards
have turned out to be the best variety
of the year. although in some of the
pctatoe growing districts of England
the British Queen appears to be
the favorite for heavy yields.
The Royal Kidney" which is export
ed very extensively to Spain and
Africa, is a tuber which has been
largely grown: yields Of this variety
have been heavier than usual, and In
some cases up to nine tons per acre
of good. sound potatoes have been
secured. "Evergoods" and "Arran
Chiefs" have paid well for growing,
especially where Scotch seed were
planted. or the newer varieties DIAL
housie' and "Langworthy" are spok-
en- of very highly. especially as to
their keeping qualities and produc-
tiveness.
The higher prices which now pre-
vail are expected to compensate the
growers for the reduced crop. Many
merchants have already purchased
good lots for seed purposes, while the
demand for potatoes is expected to be
larger in the cities than during nor
nal times, owing to the increased
price of bread and other food sup
plies.-Consul c.. NJ. Hitch, Noting
ham, in Commerce Reports.

the first time since the beginning of
the war. One of them, the large or
ders for which have hithertofore es-
capped the attention, is playing cards.
II is estimated that orders amount
ing to 500,0 900 gross have already
been received, the price per gross be-
ing about $50 yen S1.75). The
total value of the orders exceeds 49,
900 900 yen 97,5Oo, O00). Besides
a certain portion being exported to
India, these cards are consigned to
Europe, the greater part to be used as
gifts to soldiers, while the remainder
are to be put on the regulr market
through the English merchants.
The demand in Europe is not con-
eerned with the quality of the cards,
it only requires that they be cheap,
Accordingly, others have been col
lected in Osaka, where a remarkable
proficiency has been developed in the
art of manufacturing cheaply.
The center of the eard-manufactur-
ing industry in Japan is Kioto, where
the cards procured are of fairly good
quality; the price is about 10 yen
$50 per gross. While the sale in
Europe of this quality is growing, it
is nothing like a S large as that of
the Osaka cards. The demand has
risen for Japanese goods which
should last for the duration of the
war. The greater number OF the
cards used are discarded after being
used a few times, so orders for large
amounts are still expected from such
districts. At present the printing
establishments all over the city are
very much rushed.
The fact that we, who formerly
imported cards from Europe and AZ
RIGA, have been suppliers to the world
is very Observation-Disclosures from

pIoSIdlnme
Senate Republicans will make no
partisan fight on the national defense
program if it is not framed by the
Democrats in caucuses.
Senator Gallinger, the Republican
leader, told the President that the
Republicans want the army and navy
strengthened and are willing to CO.
operate with the Democrats. Later
Mr.. Gallinger said that President Will
son had told him he would not APP
prove of the Democratic caucus max
ing the defense plans party measures.
Il agree with the thought in the
minds of the President and Secretary
Garrison in the preparation of the ad-
ministration plans" said Senator Gal
linger at the White House." but ]
have not studied all the details yet.
The Republicans will not treat this
matter in a partisan manner, and SO
l told the President.
"We will honestly cooperate with
the party in power in working out de-
Tense plans which will be adequate
and san But we will not agree to
have the Democrats frame their plans
In caucus and then ask us to approve
them.
1.-THE question of preparing for the
defense of the nation is not a party
one and the Republicans are ready to
meet the Democrats half way If the
majority party is really willing to dis
cuss this question on a non-partisan
basis.
Senator Gallinger disagreed with
the President on his plan for a mer-
chant marine and for raising the mon
ey necessary for preparedness. When
the administration shipping bill is in-
troduced, Senator Gallinger said, he
will offer a substitute. The Republi-
cans, however. he added, favored US
ing the merchant marine as naval
auxiliaries.
Senator Gallinger advocated a bond
issue and opposed President Wilson's
program of internal taxation. He par
ticularly objected to a tax on automo-
biles and gasoline. He said, how
ever. that he favored lowering the
income tax minimum, and he believ-
ed a tax on bank checks would do no
harm. He opposed a tax ON iron
and steel.
Representative Mann, Republican
leader in the House, will discuss the
national defense plans with the Pres
dent.

SAYS HE HAS DISCOVERED
BOIL WEEVIL EXTERMINATOR
Alabama Farmer Claims That He Can
Tell the Pest to Go To.

Tell the Pest to Go To.
The News finds this interesting and
important if true item in the current
issue of the Andalusia, Ala, Star:
Harry Manley, an industrious
farmer residing about eight miles
south of Andalusia, informs The Star
that he has discovered a certain and
sure boil weevil exterminator in the
shape of a spray.
Mr.. Manley says he has hit upon a
chemical solution which is so cheap
that it can be used with profit by
tenant farmers, and that his expert
ments have fully demonstrated its
merits. The spray is applied every
six or eight days, except in case of a
hard rain, when it is necessary to
give an additional spraying.
The formula for this solution is a
secret with the discoverer, and Mr..
Manley says he intends to have the
process patented. In the meantime,
however, he is ready to explain the
merits and uses to any who are in
terested. He says he expects to put
out a big crop of cotton next season,
as the weevil no longer has any ter
rors for him.

goes on these ships will be used IN
AGRICULTURAL pursuits in Denmark.
While the price to be received for
the acid phosphate has not been an
nounced it is understood to be ABOUT
$40 a ton. The nominal price OF the
products is from IS to SO ton, but
recently it has been bringing some
thing like SD.
The farmers and others who de-
pend upon acid phosphate to help
them with their crops can make up
their minds next spring to pay very
fancy rices for the stock they get.
The foreign demand is very marked
and the supply is limited because OF
the scarcity of phosphate rock and

SAILS $25,OOO,0OO
PLAN IS EFFECTED
Takes Over Carolina, Atlantic and
Western. Shortest Route From
the East to Florida.

A special meeting of the stOckhold-
ers of the Seaboard Air Line railway,
to be held in the office of the com
pany in Petersburg, Va, Monday
marks the elimination of a move
ment which has brought about the
consolidation of two great railroad
properties in the South-the Sea-
board Air Line and the Carolina, At
lantic and Western railway. By the
ACQUISITION of this 331 miles of rail-
road and the construction of IS miles
of new railroad between Charleston
and Savannah, now under way, the
Seaboard Air Line Railway Company
gains entrance into two additional
important South Atlantic ports
Charleston and Georgetown-and
gains a low grade main line from
Hamlet, N. c., to Florida points via
Savannah, procuring to the Seaboard
great economies in operation and put
ting to it's credit the only new rail-
road extension which has been made
in the South since the outbreak of
the European war-the S5 miles now
being constructed between Charles
ton and Savannah.
The completion of this link, now
rapidly under way, gives the Sea-
board by far the shorter line from
the east to Florida and puts it in a
commanding position for Florida
travel and traffic from the east.
1t is understood that the Seaboard
stockholders meeting will ratify the
proposed plan, which has already
been ratified by the stockholders OF
the Carolina-Atlantic and Western
railway, which becomes a part OF the
Seaboard Air Line railway system.
