LATE BLIGHT OF POTATOES RE-
PORTED IN 1917.
1t Can, and by all Means Should, be Con
trolled.

Late blight is the most destructive po-
Moreover, once it gets started on the
leaves it spreads more rapidly than any
other potato trouble, provided cool,
cloudy or rainy weather prevails Not
only does it destroy the plants before
maturity but it causes the well known,
destructive rot of the tuber
Losses from late blight and the asSo-
ciated rot are unnecessary as they can be
prevented. This is shown by the results
obtained by practically all of the sue
cessful farmers in the better potato
growing sections of the State. In spite
of their example much loss has been &C.
casioned from the attacks of this dis
ease for two successive seasons in Ger
tain other parts of Maine. Steps should
be taken to prevent repetition of this ex-
perience in 1917.
Late blight may be controlled by thor
ough spraying with bordeaux mixture,
beginning when the tops are or inches
high and repeating every week or 10
days. The Maine Agricultural Expert
ment Station will send full directions on
request.
The first specimens of late blight for
1917 were received at the Maine Agri-
cultural Experiment Station July Gath.
One case indicated a severe attack, for
both stem and leaves were affected. Two
specimens were received the same day
from widely separated parts of southern
and southwestern Maine

"MOVE OVER"

Move over! You hard-hittin' sons of
King George.
Move over! You heroes of France.
Make room for the legions of old Uncle
Sam,
We've been waitin two years for the

Cause we never were keen for the
Hun, i.
Now we've Joined, we'll keep scrappin'

And back up your play with gun.
Hey! Little old Belgium, We'll take the
right flank!
Well get back your homeland for you,
For the Star Spangled Banner in glory
shall wave,
Backed by million or two.
Put it there, brother Serb; you're hard

Will e.muss up the Bulgars a bit?
Come on, brother Russian; let's jam the

And show Kaiser Bill he amt IT.
All right now! Together, let's end the

American Dye Making.

Since the beginning of the present war
nearly $500, 900, 600 has been invested in
the organizations of dyemaking COM
panies and enormous manufactures have
been erected in this country. France also
is developing her water powers so that
they will be ready for use in many chemi-
cal industries, just as soon as the war
ceases. This country will be so well
equipped that it will be able to retain
greater portion of its trade in dyes and
dye-stuffs, colors, tints and shades. In
1913 we were consuming about $4,000
tons of dyes and dye-stuffs, out of which
only 5000 tons were made in this coun-
try. That shows the opportunity which
the American chemical industries have
had placed before them.
The solution of the situation precipi-
tated by the stoppage of imports into this
country, now seems to be we'll in hand
and it is believed by the great chemical
interests which have sprung into being
since the beginning of the war, that the
supremacy in chemical products so long
held by Germany will be finally wrested
from her by the American chemists and
chemical engineers. Processes which have
been discovered and formulated recently
assure our American experts and manu-
facturers that many products which have
come from natural sources in Germany
can now be made by electrotytical and
chemical processes, and that the recovery
of many products heretofore considered
as waste, will keep prices within the
range of successful competition for Amer
lean goods.
Dyes which have never before been
made in this country are now common
products, although the dye makers have
long way yet to 60 in order to meet the
enormous variety of colors, shades and
tints which have come out of Germany
to the number of over 10000. Less than
500 such colors, shades and tints are now
made here, yet the formulation of pro-
cesses continues rapidly, and a thorough
codification of the dye products will make
it possible for textile and other manufac-
turers to obtain eventually all shades and
tints which they require, and to be sure
of the perfect tincture of all. Discus
sion of the features of coditication of dye
stuffs will take place at the next Ameri-
can Chemical Society convention in Bos-
ton during September

TO CAN SWEET CORN.
Method Used by Canning Demonstrators
in the North and West.


Can as soon after the corn is gathered
as possible. Remove husks and silk,
Blanch by placing in boiling water for
five minutes. Remove and dip quickly
into and out of cold water Cut the
corn from the cob and pack directly into
hot jars or cans to within one-fourth
inch of the top. Pour in enough boiling
water to fill the container. Add one level
teaspoonful of salt to each quart. Put
rubber rings and caps of jars into posi-
ton, but do not tighten the wire clamps.
Seal tin cans completely
Place containers on false bottom of
wooden Stats or wire mesh in vessel of
water deep enough to cover the contain
ers completely Keep the water boiling
for three hours.
Remove the jars, tighten covers, invert
jars to test seal, and cool mot in draft,
as jars might crack.
Tin cans may be placed in cold water
for rapid cooling.
After the containers are cool store in a
dark, cool place.
Rapid preparation for canning is espe-
cially desirable for corn if a good quality
of product is to be obtained. The best
results can be secured when one person
cuts the corn from the cob and another
fills the containers. If it is necessary
for one person to work alone she should
cut off sufficient corn to fill one Jar,
pour on boiling water, add salt, place the
rubbers and caps in position and put the
jar or container into the vessel of water.

DRAFT, THEN AND NOW.

The dra # process is a very different
thing inl917 from what it was in 1868.
In those days the process was much
simpler. Every country, every city,
every township, was simply assigned a
quota that it had to fill. So much popu-
lation in town, so many able bodied men
to furnish. If they volunteered, we'll and
good-that was all that had to be done
about it. If they did not, the names of
the men still liable for military duty were
put in box or hat, each on separate
slip of paper, and one name after another
was drawn out. Sometimes by blind
folded boy. If your name was drawn,
you were liable to serve, provided you
passed the physical examination. The
draft was responsible for a considerable
amount of something else that sounded a
good deal like it, and that was graft.
Some of the examining doctors were not
above suspicion, and good many men of
robust appearance turned out to have
strange and hitherto unsupported dis
eases, while the examining doctors bought
new houses and housekeeping trotters.-

Where the Maine Troops will
Train.

Charlotte, North Carolina, a city of
as, 600 inhabitants has been selected as
the place where a 2,O00-acre camp site
for the 10000 New England national
guardsmen will train. The spot chosen
lies three miles west of this city, in what
is reputed to be one of the most healthful
spots in the United States. Eight hun
dred feet above sea level, for the most
part it is open country, but there are
pretty patches of wood. The ground
slopes gently, giving excellent natural
drainage The soil is of type that con-
tinued rains do not affect materially.
Mud has been the principal enemy in the
great concentration camps of England
and Canada; the Charlotte camp is COM
paratively free from it. By the middle
of August it will be a city Of tents-a
city with a population nearly as large as
that of Charlotte. The troops will spend
only short time in tents. With the ap-
proach of cold weather wooden city
will spring up. The government is to
spend 100000 in building barracks of
timber, in paving the streets and in in
stating utilities.
The winters at Charlotte are not harsh.
Generally there are not more than As
days of frost. The average temperature
in January is 40 degrees. July, the hot
test month, has an average temperature
of 79 degrees. The mean year-round
temperature is 80 degrees. 1t was the
climate of the district which caused the
war department to select the site.
Charlotte, typical southern city, is
200 miles inland and midway between the
Atlantic ocean and the Blue Ridge noun
talns. 1t is free from the excessive
humidity which is the bugbear of south
ern seacoast cities, and it is sheltered by
the mountains from the cold winds of
winter. This accounts for its very low
death rate-only one city in the United
States can better it. There is no malaria
Sanitary conditions are practically per-
tect, thanks to the strict watch the
municipal authorities keep.
The cold water supply is abundant. 1t
comes from a river II miles away. The
city spent 81, 600, 080 on the water plant a
few years ago. There is daily capacity
OF 40, 900, 600 gallons and reserve capa-
city of 10000, 900.
The average consumption by Char
lotte's as, 900 inhabitants is 1000, 600 gal
Ions; the same quantity will be given to
the cantonment.
Charlotte abounds in historic interest
Its people boast that the first Declaration
OF Independence was signed there March
20, ITS, and they point out the spot at
the intersection of the two main streets
They also mark the site of Lord Corn
wallis headquarters. He it was who
named the Charlotte people ''the Hor-
nets"
The largest hydro-electrical power
company in the country has its head
quarters there
Charlotte is on the main line of the
Southern Railway from Washington to
Atlanta and is about equi-distant from
these cities. There is a double track to
Washington. More than so passenger
trains come and go in the Charlotte de-
pots every day.

Queer Situation in Norway.

The news that Norway is accepting
German excuses and promises, given
time after time and not kept, and now
again accepted in the case of the discov-
cred German plots against the Norwegian
merchant marine, is accompanied by
statements that the people of Norway are
growing increasingly indignant at the
lack of aSSertlVe action by the govern
ment.
1t is decidedly queer situation that
maintains in Norway. The King and
Queen are stated to be pro-ally and the
great mass of the people are hostile to
Germany, Their inclinations at the COM
mencement of the war were toward the
Allies and the continued outrageS that
Germany has committed against Norway
have materially strengthened this posi-
ton of the Norwegians Germany, evil
IDENTIFY recognizing that Norway was gen.
orally hostile, has treated her almost as
an open enemy and in her submarine war
fare has sunk 537 Norwegian vessels.
But financial interests in Norway that
rule the cabinet officers. wish to remain on
terms with Germany because of the i'm
mense profits that they are gaining from
food shipments to Germany, shipments
that are continuing right up to the pres
net moment in spite of the fact that
food supplies in Norway are very scarce
and can no longer be augmented by i'm
ports from the United States.
The Norwegian people are protesting
against permitting any further food ship
ments to Germany and appear to be
reaching point at which they will real
Iy give force to their protests. 1t is diff
cult to see how they can expect the
United States to give ear to their request
for food expectations while they acknowl-
edge that shipments continue to 60 to the
Central Empires. They must clean house
first
The time appears to be near when the
Norwegian people may take the situation
into their own hands which apparently
can be done only by Kidding themselves

FIGHT FAIR.

It is better to lose with a console nee
clear
Than to win by trick unfair;
It is better to fail and to know you've
been,
Whatever the prize was, square,
Than to claim the Joy of far-off goal
And the cheers of the standers-by,
And to know down deep in your Utmost
A cheat you must live and die.
Who wins by trick may take the prize,
And at first he may think it sweet,
But many day in the future lies
When he'll wish he had met defeat,
For the man who lost shall be glad at
heart
And walk with his head up high,
While his conqueror knows he must play
the part
OF cheat and living lie.
The prize seems fair when the fight is on,
But, save it is truly won,
You will hate the thing when the crowds
are gone,
For it stands for false deed done.
And it's better you never should reach
your goal
Than ever success to buy
At the price of knowing down in your
That your glory is all a lie.

U. S. MAKES OPTICAL GLASS.

The Bureau of Standards of the De-
partment of Commerce, after two and
half years of continuous study and ex-
pertinent in the making of optical glass,
has achieved satisfactory results, and is
prepared to produce optical glass. Addi-
tons are now being made to the working
plant requisite to permit larger produc-
ton to supply the needs of the Govern
ment.
The matter is one of essential impor-
lance to the military services of the ma
ton, Heretofore this material, of the
best grade, has been wholly made in
Germany, but the United States is hence
forth Independent of any foreign supply
for this important product.
Optical glass is used in making lenses
for field glasses, range finders, periscopes,
telescopes, surveying apparatus, chemical

Our National Parks.

The eight national parks of the first
order are the Mount Rainier National
Park in Washington, the Crater Lake
National Park in Oregon, the Yosemite
and Sequoia National Parks in California,
the Glacier National Park in Montana,
the Yellowstone National Park, princi-
pally in Wyoming, and the Rocky Noun
tain and Mesa Verde National Parks in
Colorado With these must be classed
the Grand Canyon of the Colorado in
Arizona, which, though still remaining a
national monument, is one of the great
wonders of the world.
The principal difference between a
national monument and a national park
is that the former has merely been made
safe from encroachment by private inter-
ests and enterprise, while the latter is
also in process of development by roads
and trails and hotels, so as to become a
convenient resort for the people to visit
and enjoy.
Each Personality of its Own.
One of the striking and interesting
features of the eight greater national
parks of our country is that each one of
them is quite different from all the others;
each has marked personality of its own.
Mount Rainier, for instance, is an ex-
tinct volcano down the sides of which
flow twenty-eight glaciers, Or rivers of
ice.
Crater Lake fills with water of aston
ishing blue the hole left when the top of
Mount Mazama, another volcano in the
same chain as Mount Rainier, was swal
lowed up in some far distant past.
The Yosemite National Park, in addi-
ton to its celebrated Yosemite Valley
and lofty waterfalls, has in the north
river called the Tuolumne, which spouts
wheels of water fifty feet and more into
the air. 1t has great areas of snow-topped
mountains.
The Sequoia National Park contains
more than a million SeQuoia trees, of
which 1900 are more than ten feet in
diameter, and some twice that and sew
eral from twenty-five to thirty-six feet
through from side to side. Measure thirty
six feet on the sidewalk and see what
that means Some of these trees are
older than human history.
The Glacier National Park was made
by the earth cracking in some far distant
time and one side thrusting up and over
tapping the other 1t has cliffs several
thousand feet high and more than sixty
glaciers feed hundreds of lakes. One lake
uOdtS lceDeTgS dill summer. llHS SCeHeIy
is truly Alpine.
The Yellowstone National Park, beside
its geysers, has many hot springs which
build glistening plateaus of highly color
ed mineral deposits. 1t has a canyon
gorgeous with all the colors and shades of
the rainbow, and it is literally the great
est wild animal sanctuary in the world.
The Rocky Mountain National Park
StrodIlac tho Continental divide of
lofty height, with snow-capped noun
tains extending from end to end. Its
glacier records are remarkable.
The Mesa Verde National Park hides in
its barren canyons the well-preserved
ruins of civilization which passed out
of existence SO many centuries ago that
not even tradition recalls it's people.
1t will be seen that one many visit a
new national park each year for nearly a
decade and see something quite new and
remarkable at each visit

UNCUT HAY.

Much hay will be left uncut in Maine
this summer, as it is utterly impossible,
from a financial standpoint, to pay $40
per day for man and team, and 81. so for
man. One man living in Augusta,
who has been visiting his farm several
times each week and congratulating him
self on the handsome stand of grass,
tried to hire it cut the other day, but
failing in that, offered to sell it standing
for $40; no buyers, and then he offered to
give it to anyone who would cut it and
haul it away, but the grass still proudly
waves above the limpid waters of Lake
Cobbosseecontee, nodding in friendly
converse with much of it's kind in ad-
joining fields that will doubtless be still
unharvested when the SHOWS of winter
drift over the hills of Kennebec-Maine
