A CARD TO DEMOCRATS

am a candidate to succeed my.
self as County Judge.
In my announcement card in 1913
| promised if elected to make roads
good and feel that it can safely be
left to public knowledge and opinion
to say whether that promise has
been made good, and whether our
roads are not better than they
have been for years.
With the cooperation and assist
ance of the County and City offic-
ers, the liquor laws have been en-
forced and illegal sales have stop
ped.
While an ardent advocate of help
ing the poor when in abject need,
you will find upon investigation,
that our county fiscal affairs are
in splendid condition, owing less
debt in proportion to wealth than
any Blue Grass county save Clark.
If you believe that ] have done
my duty, l would greatly appreciate
your vote and influence in the Pri-
mary next August, thus enabling me
to further carry out my plans for
the betterment of lthe county, which
plans are to make the roads dry,
and as far as possible, keep the
county "dry."
| respectfully solicit your support,
w. o. Chenault.

CONTROL OF WATER
MELON STEM-END ROT

Watermelon stem rot results in o
decay Of the melon, at the stem end,
which usually defelops during tran
sit to market. The Investigations
Of the U. S. Department of Agri-
culture have shown that the cause
is a fungus which is common in
many Southern fields on dead stalks
of cotton, corn and many weeds, as
well as on decaying melons. The
spores of this fungus are blown
about by the wind and lodge on the
moist cut end of the melon stem
after it is severed from the vine,
terminate. and grow into the melon,
which often begins to decay within
three days.
The experiments made last sum-
mer on several carloads of melons
offer good hopes that this stem end
rot can be prevented. The methods
recommended by the Department of
Agriculture are as follows:
(D Cut and burn all weeds
around the field and along ditch
banks during the winter
(2) From the time that the mel
ons set on the vines, all Gull fruit
should be hauled off the field weekly
and fed to hogs, or deeply buried.
Wash the wagons used for hauling
cul!s with two per cent. blue
stone solution.
(3) Spraying with Bordeaux mix
ture for anthracnose will probably
help control stem-end rot.
(4) Laborers harvesting melons
should never cut or touch a decay

(5) Cut melons with long stems
and load into ears with the least
possible delay and with the utmost
care in handling, to avoid bruising.
Open car ventilators.
(6) Most important of all, apply
paste made of common starch
with six per cent. limestone to the
freshly cut stems as the melons
are being packed in the car. 1t has
been found that disinfecting ths
stems at other times is less effec,.
tive, as the paste is rubbed off BY
handling.
As the packer arranges the mel
ons in tiers, have him place the
stem ends outward, while reliable
boy cuts off a section of the stem
and applies a covering of paste
with a small, round brush.

tanned decayed melons or yard re-

AFFECTED
Collector Franklin Gets In.
structions That These and
Many Other Articles Cannot
Be Admitted Except Under
Special DispensatIon From
Washington

By a presidential proclamation dat
ed November %, more than fifty ar
ticles now imported into the United
States in large quantities. will not be
allowed to be shipped into contlnen'
tai United States or its TERRITORIAL
possessions except under a license
granted by the war trade board at
WASHINGTON. Among the articles at
fected are rice, beans TALL kinds,
burlap, coconut oil. copra, hemp, TO-
bacco, wheat, wheat flour, leather
and a long list of metals and alloys.
The order affecting the importatlons
of these articles came in lengthy
cablegram to- Collector Of Customs
Malcolm Franklin yesterday.
That this new regulation will ser
iously affect local imports was ad-
mitted at the custom house this
morning. 1t was stated that in order
to import any of the mentioned ar
ticIes into Hawaii, license from the
war board at Washington must first
be secured, and this may be obtained
by cabling to the capital through the
Honolulu custom house. When the H.
cense is granted, the goods will be
admitted.
The list of countries from which the
inportations are thus restricted com
prises every country with which this
territory has TO deal. Rice from Jap
an, beans for soya, hemp and burlap,
palm and coconut oil and copra from
the South Seas, ara all affected by
this regulation. .,
90 The eablegran reeetyea yesterday
Was the first intimation3 to local aii.
thorities that such, sweeping trade re-
,strictions had beeA imposed The re.
strictions on exports had been clamp.
ed on some time ago, but the order
necessitating permit from Washing
ton for the importation of these a.
tieles will have much to do toward
cutting down the import quantities,
and admitting such amounts only as
are absolutely essential for imme-
date consumption. That the sake
trade, which imports large quantities
of rice, will feel an alarming short
age, is feared in local Japanese bust
ness circles.
The sugar plantations will also feel
the effect of the restrictions, as the
burlap used in the manufacture of
bags falls under the list Of imports.
The embargo on wheat and wheat
flour will cause an alarming shortage
on these essentials, 1t is feared.
Importers may receive fuller in.
structions regarding securing Of per.
mits by applying at the custom
house.
