ON POTATOES

employed by the Southern Pacihc

subject of potatoe culture, gave an
address on this subject at the Carson

greeted him. The lecture was also
attended by the high school students.

a talk on the American farmer, and
the lack of business principles en-

crops. He declared that 40 per cent
of the population of this country

that power, they did not organize to

clarcd that farmers as rule have no

world while the United States and
England are the lowest Cooperation

TROOPS TO REMAIN
IN NORTHERN CAMPS
Plan to Send Remaining Mo-
biliZed Units to Border
Is Suspended
RAILROAD CONDITIONS
CAUSE THE CHANGE
Sudden Change in Order Affects Troops
from Kentucky, Ohio and Vermont
War Department Has a Plausible Ex-
cuse.

WASHINGTON, August 15.-Orders
for the remaining modified units of
the National Guard to proceed to the
border have been suspended by the war
office. No official explanation has been
made, but it is known that the delicacy
of the railroad strike situation has been
the moving consideration.
The war department notified head
quarters that the troops would con
tinue to be held in their state mobiliza-
tiOn camps. The suspension of the order
has not been taken as an indication
that the President S negotiation with
the railroad brotherhoods have taken
an unfavorable turn, but is a measure
of caution. 1t was considered highly
undesirable that all of the remaining
guardSmen should be removed to the
border while there was a possibility of
a railroad strike in which they might
be called upon to preserve order
throughout some of the states.
This suspension affects the troops
from Kentucky, Ohio and Vermont. It
is clear that the suspension is not a
revocation of the orders and that if
the railroad strike situation clears up
the troops will be moved to the border
The official explanation of the change
at the war department is that the diff
Guilty of transportation and equipment,
suddenly developed, has made a delay
necessary. 1t is known, however, that
the railway situation is the real cause.
