Wilcox Demands Recount.
On Friday National Chairman Will
cox of the Republican party handed
out the following statement:
"The result still depends upon the
vote in few close states. 1t must be
borne In mind that the returns thus
far announced are, In most states, un-
official, and may be changed by the
official count required by the laws of
those states.
"Twice during these unofficial COM

all necessary steps to see that an ex-
act and honest count of the vote is
made. When the current seemed to be
running against Mr.. Wilson on Wednes-
day the Democratic managers an
nounced their intention to demand n
recount in every close state.
"All we desire is to make sure thnt
| the vote is counted as cast"
Both sides conceded that no matter
what action might be taken In regard
to n recount there was little likelihood
of contest being carried to the house
of representatives as 1t was after the

How Congress Stands.
With returns missing from only one
congressional district In the United
States. the Republicans and Demo-
Gratis each had elected 215 representa-
tives.
The vote in New Mexico. which is
still In doubt. probably will determine
which party is to have plurality of
one over the other. The present men,

can.
The balance of power In the next
house will be held by four men, one
a Progressive Protectionist from
Louisiana, one nm Independent from
Massachusetts, one Progressive from
Minnesota and the other u Socialist
from New York.
The action of these members ap-
parently will determine the choice of
n speaker, us well as the ite of legis.
lation which is supported or opposed
on purely party lines.

Republicans Demand Recount of Votes in Several
Close and Pivotal States.
RECORD BREAKING INTEREST IN THE NEWS
Entire Nation Kept In Suspense While Election Judges of Few
States Counted to the Last Ballot Before Result Was
KnoWn-Soldier Vote Factor

New York, Nov. lion the face of
the returns, unofficial and still incom-
plete, Woodrow Wilson has been re-
elected president of the United States
with a majority of at least eleven in
the electoral college. But the Repub-
licans place cloud on his title that Is
likely to remain for II week or ten
days, and in the meantime the Repub-
licans are declining to pay their cleo
tlon bets.
The situation Is extraordinary and
has resulted in days of nerve-racking
strain for the people of the country.
If the election officials of few remote
precincts in few states know how the
nation has been waiting breathless to
hear from them, they must be swelled
up enormously with sense of their
Importance For on those few pre-
cincts has depended the nations choice

That Mr.. Wilson's victory over Mr..
Hughes will not be conceded without a
recount In the close states, such as Cal
lfornia. New Hampshire, New Mexico
and North Dakota, wns determined ut
conferences of the Republican leaders
here. Chairman Wilcox asserted re-
count would be demanded wherever
the margin of Democratic victory wns
SO small that comparatively few votes
would turn the scales. He and his as
sociates say they take the position
that there should be no cloud upon Mr..
Wilson'S title to the presidency. The
Democrats, for their part, declared
that there must be a recount In New
Hampshire. even though the returns
gave the state to Mr.. Wilson.
= That the returns are still incomplete
Is due to the presence on the border of
the National Guard of number of
states. The soldiers are permitted to
vote by mail, their ballots being for
warded to the auditors of their home
counties, and in Minnesota especially
the vote of the Guardsmen Is likely to
cut figure in determining whether the
state goes into the Wilson or the
Hughes column.

Perhaps the most surprising of all

PEACH LEAF CURL.
Methods Suggested For tho Control Of
This Blight.

Methods Suggested For tho Control Of
This Blight.
Prepared by New York State College Of
Agricultural
Now is a good time to spray for con-
troll Of peach leaf curl, according to
the plant disease authorities at Cor
nell. They say that the spraying may
be done any time after the leaves fall
In the autumn and before the buds
begin to swell in the spring.
= Orchardists in New York last spring
found that peach leaf curl was very
much in evidence throughout the state
wherever peaches are grown. Accord
ing to the authorities on plant dis
eases at the New York State College
Of Agriculture, peach leaf curl is one
Of the fungous diseases Of which the
control is we'll known, the method Of
treatment highly perfected and the re-
suits Of such treatment absolutely
sure. They say there was nothing new
in the situation last spring except that
the conditions which have been favor
able for the peach leaf curl disease
namely, the cold and wet weather dur
ing the early spring, not only favored
the disease, but caused peach growers
to delay spraying until it was too late
In some cases they gave up spraying
altogether.
As a result it is stated that there
were many orchards not sprayed, where

self. There will be a partial or total
failure to set fruit, general lowering
of the vitality of the tree and a sub
sequent failure in the production of
fruit buds for the following year. Re-
peated loss of foliage for several years
in succession means the death Of the
trees, especially if the trees are young.
is likely to be total loss. Even slight
attacks affect orchard production.
Peach leaf curl may be controlled
either by bordeaux mixture or by lime
sulphur solution. Since the lime-sul-
phur solution diluted at the rate of one
also control San Jose scale it is more
commonly used. If the scale is not
present the lime-sulphur may be used
at the rate Of one gallon to fifteen gal
Ions of water.
The most important factors in the
control are timeliness and thorough
ness of application. Infection appears
to take place during the first prolonged
cool rain after the buds begin to swell,
and spraying after this time has not
proved effective.
Spraying may be done any time after
tho leaves fall in the autumn and be-
fore the buds begin to swell in the
spring. Experiments conducted during
! the past two years have shown that
fall spraying is fully as effective as
spring spraying. Usually also the
weather and soil conditions are more
favorable in the fall. It is therefore
advised that spraying for peach leaf,
curl be done in the fall so far as posi-
bic.
The spores of the fungus, it is
thought, remain over the winter lodged
in the hairs of the bud scales. This
makes it necessary to wet all Of the
buds with the spray mixture. A fine
spray applied to both sides of the tree
is essential
