His knowledge.

The teacher had been explaining
characters in history, and had been
explaining about Jefferson Davis.
Later she said:
"Now, boys, what Is your idea about
Jefferson Davis?'
There was no reply. Singing out a
boy, the teacher said:
"Tommie Burns, what do you think ?
Do you think Jefferson Davis was
all right? 2"
"Well," came from the boy, after a
long silence, "he never did do nuthin'

ago corrosive sublimate dip was de-
vised and gained great popularity, but
later, this was largely replaced by the
formaldehyde treatment, which had
the advantage of being cheap and
practically nonpoisonous. Now, how
ever, the old-fashioned corrosive sub
Innate dip Is again being recommended
because it not only checks the scab,
but controls black scurf as well.
Corrosive sublimate is more effec-
tive than formaldehyde when 1t is
used to kill black scurf, but it is adj
the seed when it is dormant. When
there is little or no evidence of black
scurf, the tubers may be treated with
formaldehyde. 1t is as effective
against the scab as the corrosive sub
Innate, and because 1t Is not so poison
Gus, Is less dangerous to use.
Details Of Treatment.
"Formaldehyde (40 per cent
strength) is used at the rate of one
pound or pint to 80 gallons of water.
Il
and one-half to two hours. This one
solution may be used repeatedly.
Corrosive sublimate Is used at the
rate of 10 to 80 gallons of water, and
the seed should be soaked In this So
luton for one and one-half hours, but
no longer. The sublimate should be
renewed after three or four patches
have been treated, as II loses its po-
tency very rapidly. Corrosive sub
Innate, II may be added, Is q deadly
poison, and should be kept where chill
dren and live stock will not have ac-
cess to IT,
"The potatoes may be treated sew
eral weeks before planting, IL care Is
taken not to re-infect them by placing
them in the old sacks, or In crates
which have not been disinfected. Some
growers prefer to treat just before
planting, but In any event, the treat
ment should be made before the seed
r. cut.
"When only few bushels of pota-
toes are TO be planted, they may be
placed In gunny sacks and submerged
in n barrel Of the disinfecting solu.
tion from which the head has been re-
moved. Where large quantities are to
be treated, tank should be provided
for the purpose. AS soon as the pota-
toes have been taken out of the solu-
ton, II Is a good plan to dip them in
clear water, or pour water over them
IN nreyent further action by the chem
icals with which they have been treat
ed. If the potatoes are to be kept some
time before being planted, they should
be spread out and dried"

BERLIN. Feb. Few Germans
believe America will declare war.
II this belief is borne out. then
England will be compelled to make
peace thru Germany's new blockade
order.
In the united chorus OF approval
OF the limitless sea warfare Just
announced, this was the opinion
generally expressed here today.
That Germany Is united as never

pressions OF representative Ger

Representative Germans who
were asked today why Germany an.
nounced her policy OF limitless sub

First. they were convinced that
the war can be ended sooner The
