and some Of these most constantly seen
before the disease-producing groups.
Their relation to the trouble is, being
investigated, but the present indica-
tons suggest that they are not the pri-
mary cause but have attacked the
plants already seriously weakened by
other agencies.
Experiments In Progress.
Fertilizer experiments in progress
on affected fields demonstrated that
the plots receiving potash showed little
or no signs of the trouble, even where
the other plots were entirely dead.
Stable manure also held the disease in
almost complete control.
Investigations of the trouble by the
department are incomplete, but the
present indications are that it is due
to insufficient potash, or, perhaps, in
some soils at least, to an excess of
nitrates in the presence of a mini
mum potash supply. Farmers who
are unable to secure potash fertilizer
for their potato fields but who have
stable manure may insure their crops
against attack by its use. In sections
where certain types of soil have been
observed to suffer from the disease I'M
der discussion, and it is advisable to
plant potatoes on these types next
year, it is strongly recommended that
potash fertilizers or stable manure be
applied If either are Obtainable.

earliest Matched pullets will, Of course,
begin to lay first. If any of them be-
gin to mott, their places will be taken
by the later ones and a steady supply
Of eggs will be more certain.
The Difficulty.
The difficulty in the way of the prac-
teal application Of this matter Is that
so many poultry keepers are depend
ent on hens for Matching. AS long as
we have late Matched chickens we will
have late sitters. The poultry keeper
who wants to change from late hatch
ing to early Matching must therefore
either get broody hens from someone
else or use an incubator. After he
has changed the dates" on his flock
he will have no trouble, especially with
the American breeds.
Can 1t Be Done7
Every progressive poultry raiser who
has tried it, every agricultural col
lege and the government, have data
showing that early Matching will pro-
duce fall and winter layers. In the
government flock during the past win
ter the pullets Of the entire flock av-
eraged over 20 per cent in egg produc-
ton, and some pens made 35 per cent.
That means, in plain language, that
the egg production for all the pullets
was one egg daily for every five hens,
and for some pens one egg daily for
every three hens. This, too. when
fresh eggs sold up to rs cents per
dozen in Washington. This could not
have been done except by early hatch

Money Will Flow to
New York from Interior,
Says George M. Reynolds

Chicago, June 15.-George NJ. Reyn-
olds, president of the Continental and
Commercial National Bank, returned
TODAY from New York. He said, con-
corning banking sentiment there;
"The New York banks have purpose
" held down interest rates within the
last two weeks in order to preserve
general good feeling and aid the LID
erty Loan. Within short time, how
ever. they expect to have an abundance
OF money there, drawn from the in
terror.
But this situation already has been
provided for. The twelve Federal Re
Servo banks will work in harmony to
hold money conditions steady in con-
nection with government financing. The
cash which goes to New York will be
taken from the West. but in turn the
Federal Reserve bank of the New York
district will rediscount the paper. If
necessary. Of other Reserve bank dis
tricts so that no hardship Will be
worked anywhere.
THE Eastern banks feel comfortable
over the outlook. They consider bust
ness good now and that it will be bet
ter. The government expenditures Will
create initiation and higher prices.
"As to the war, the banking interests
have concluded il will be long one.
The government loans made necessary
are expected to be absorbed, with, OF
course. an increase in rate of interest
on future bead issues

Labor Troubles
Threaten Kennecott
Copper Company
Pro-German Element Among
Workers Said to Lead Agita-
ton for Raise in Pay

Announcement was made late yester-
day by the Kennecott Copper Corpora
ton. a Morgan-G uggenheim property
that its miners in Alaska have made
demands for substantial increases in
wages, with threat TO strike If favor
able action is not taken by the COM
pany. -,
A statement issued last night said
that it is believed by the management
in Alaska that these unusual demands
have been brought about largely by.
strong pro-German element among the
mine and railroad laborers. Appllca-
ton has been made to the government
authorities TO send troops along the
line of the railroad which connects the
mines with the seaboard.
The men are said to be demanding an
increase of so cents a day in bonus
which they have been paid OF 81 per
day over standard wages. 81 hese de-
mands," the statement said, are so I'M
reasonable that 1t is not believed inc
Kennecott's management can acccde 10
them"

Corporation produced more than lVo'--

Merchants Caught with Large

Improved sentiment in business is

distributive trade has continued with
the more seasonable temperatures, ana
though not all reports are favorable re-
suits at the retail counters are now

More bargain offerings. however are
in evidence than usual at this season;
owing to the fact that merchants ma
themselves with larger stocks, on han9
than expected. owing TO the backward

the more general practice of economy.
Manufacturers in general have large
orders on their books which can be

No Let-Up
After War

II will be apparent that Canada
has amply risen to the occasion
brought about by the conditions con-
sequent upon the intensified sub
marine campaign, and can already
beast of a hourishing shipbullding
industry. The abnormal conditions
under which we are living to-day to
a great extent obscure our vision
with regard to economic matters, and
it is therefore difficult to speak with
any degree of defniteness as to the
status of the industry under peace
conditions. 1t is evident, however,
that the replacement of the seven
million tons of shipping destroyed
since the outbreak Of the war is
guarantee of shipbuilding activity
for a long time to come. Another
fsctor is the demand for tonnage
caused by the entrance of the United
States into the conflict. The trans
portation of the new armies, with
the large amount of equipment nee
essary to modern warfare, will entail
the employment of countless vessels,
and an even greater need for steam
ers will arise after the declaration
of peace. when the overseas troops
will require to be returned TO their
respective countries.
1t is understood that the British
government has authorized the I'M
perial Munitions Board at Ottawa to
place contracts for steel ships for de-
livery to the end of 1918. II is rea-
sonable TO assume that such author
Ity will be extended from time to
time. and with the assistance which
will undoubtedly be granted by the
board to concerns unable to finance
their operations it is obvious that
the industry will be able to acquire
such a degree of stability as to be
in n position to face peace conditions
with confidence.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1917-06-16

Now that the Liberty Loan is out of
the way, there may be a resumption
of corporate and municipal financing,
which has been held back to give the
government the right Of way. 1t is
considered unlikely, however, that
corporate demands for investment
funds will reach large proportions for
a long time, and perhaps not during
the war. In England they have been
held down TO the minimum, so as to
leave the market absolutely free for
providing the government require
ments. Probably they will be here.
One thing which will tend to check
corporate borrowing in this market
for the time being is the rising ten
dency Of money rates. Another is
that few new ventures other than
those allied with the production Of
war materials will be launched until
it is possible TO see little further
into the future than can be done at
present.
