TREAT SEED POTATOES 1


Makes It imperative That They Be
Treated With Chemicals Before

According to your conditions n

fore the potatoes are cut or sprouted.
The commonest method is to mix

Of water. Soak the seed stock in this
solution for two hours, Just before you
are ready to start cutting. This solu-
ton may be reused two or three
times, If no time Is lost between
patches. One OF the easiest ways is to
place the solution in a barrel and
place a sackful of potatoes in 1t at a
time.
Corrosive sublimate Is an excellent
chemical to use, and will kill rhizic-
tonia as well as scab, but it is a dead
ly poison and must be kept where Ill

carefully cleaned afterwards. If you
prefer this, use four ounces of cor

water, and soak the potatoes for an
hour and a half. The powdered chemi-
cal should first be dissolved in hot
water and then added to the main
solution. Do not use metal vessels. Al

promptly washed in clean water until
all traces of the solution are gone. n

Italian Headquartetrs in Northern
Italy, Wednesday, Nov. IA (by the AS
sociated Press. )-Under the escort OF
a staff officer from headquarters the
correspondent today made a tour
along thirty miles of the Piave battle
front while a terrific artillery fire
was in progress on both banks Of the
river, and the whole ordinarily peace
full valley was transformed into a
blazing inferno.
From a suitable observation point
the view led across the river to the
positions occupied by General Won
Below's German troops who had occu-
pied the town of Vidor, over which
hung huge German balloon. Fur
ther along from a castle commanding
the heights off Aosola could be plain
ly seen the two opposing lines run
ming along the east and west banks
OF the river, together with the Ital-
ian positions stretching back on the
hills to Grappa and the Montello
crest, and an enemy battery firing
from the hills on the eastern side of
the river.
An abandoned warehouse on the
bank of the Piave river farther down
afforded a view of a massive bridge
with the two middle spans blown up
and of the great pail of smoke hang
ing over Zenson and the Island of
Grave, where the enemy had crossed
the river but were still held back on
the rivers edge by the fierce counter
attacks of the Italians.
All along the lower stretch to the
river the bombardment was continu-
Gus and the whole countryside, strick-
Ell under the fire, was fleeing from
the terrain within range of the
guns.
The Italians were holding well at
all points and everything indicated
the thoroughness of the concentration
that had been effected by the army
along the new lines.
In the new trenches along the river
bank and among the columns ad-
vancing along the roads the men dis
played the best of spirits and evil
denced their determination in the
desperate struggle for the holding of
this Piave line which is now reaching
its climax.

M. B. Hereley, who recently built
railroad in west Texas that has been
saken over by the Santa Fe road, one
million dollars and certain rights of

the construction of a railroad from
Pennington, n. NJ, to Albuquerque or

Mr.. Hereley asked nothing in the
way of payment until the road is COM
pleted and in operation. While the
people of this country would prefer
that the road should be built to Al
huquerque, as 1t is more advantageous
for this section to have an outlet to
the southeast, but it is understood that
the road is to be constructed largely
as coal carrier and that Gallup is
considerably nearer to the coal fields
of the San Juan country and that con-
struction would be lighter than if the
road should be built from Albuquer-
que.
1t is understood that Mr.. Hereley

Der and other freight-producing re-
sources exist in the territory between
Albuquerque and Pennington before
he decides on the route to be followed.

thr hoNhho JOURNAL SPECIAL LEASED
New York, Nov, 15.-An answer to
charges that Japan is lukewarm to
the allied cause because its armies
are not fighting on European battle
fields, which he said appear OCCASION
ally in the American press, was made
before the Rotary club here today
and West News bureau. He declares
that Japan is understood in Europe
and is carrying out fully it's part as
originally agreed upon and that the
allies had not seen fit to suggest any
change in that plan.
"It was the wish neither Of her
allies nor Japan that we enter the
European war stage and there has
been no formal request for Japan to
send an expeditionary force to Eu-
rope" he said. 1.-The reason is not far
to see.
Jap Sphere In Orient
"Japans proper sphere of activity
is the orient and the Pacific. For this
reason, when she entered the war in
obedience to the Anglo-Japan alliance,
Japan by an agreement with her ally
limited her naval and military ac-
tivities to the far east and it's waters
THE sphere of her naval opera
tions, however, has been gradually
extended, first to the south seas, then
to the Indian ocean, thence to the wa
ters of the Cape of Good Hope and to
embrace the Pacific and finally to the
Mediterranean, where a fleet of Jap
anese destroyc"s Is cooperating with
the allied fleets against enemy subma-
rines.
ut has been well and truthfuly
said that just as the United States
must be the leader on this continent,
so must Japan sound the dominant
note in the east. Japan. therefore,
should use it's vast influence In the
orient and in the occident let the
United States on one side the Allan
tic and the democratic countries of
Europe on the other, take the lead.
Military Status Outlined.
80 far as purely military opera
tions are concerned 1t seems but prop
er that the war in the occident should
he met by the European and Amer
lean allies. 1t is none of Japan's bus
mess 20 intrude herself upon Euro
pean battlefields. Such an enterprise
would be entirely out of harmony with
the wise and farsighted policy that
must guide Japan, for in pursuing an
other course, she would be forced to
! face the dilemma OF either losing
her hard won military prestige or of
reawakening the cry OF yellow peril
which Is now fortunately on the point
of being committed to oblivion. II
would, on the other hand, be mark
of discourtesy on the part of Japan
to think of sending her troops to the
assistance OF her European allies.
Those who advocate in easy fashion
the dispatch of Japanese forces to
Russia to rehabilitate the morale of
Russian troops ignore the psychology
of the Russian people,"
