ey. after conference here today with
a half dozen managers of the clubs,

Contrast of the major league
situation and that of their own
should be sufficient evidence to
the American association cities
that their league is not of major
league calibre. While the majors
are pocketing a profit with more
postponed games than the Ameri-
can association, the latter is con-
sidering ways and means making
up for its losses, including the slic-
ing of salaries and the shortening
of the season.

FARMERS ARE ASSURED
PROTECTION BY WILSON
By RALPH SMITH.

WASHINGTON June 9.-President
Wilson yesterday afternoon received a
delegation of farmers representatives
headed by ]. ]. Brown. Georgia agricul-
tural commissioner, and explained In
detail to them the objects of the food
control legislation that the administra-
ton is seeking at the hands OF con-
gress. Representatives Wise, Brand
and Park escorted the delegation and
were much impressed with the force
and wisdom of the presidents state
ment
The president explained with clear
ness that the legislation contains no
provision that will injure the producer
He pointed out that, on the contrary
the proposition to fix a minimum price
for farm products is designed and cal
culated to protect the producer against
loss. and to encourage farmers to
diversity their crops. He dwelt upon
the importance of this provision to
southern farmers generally, who hereto
fore have restricted their labors to one
crop--cotton.
The alleged autocratic powers that
the bill confers upon the chief execu-
tive which have aroused criticism and
resentment in some quarters are de-
signed solely to enable the president to
deal with food pirates and market
manipulators President Wilson told
the delegation he regarded this as the
most important provision in the legis-
lation, since it has been made painfully
apparent that something must be done
to combat and check the operations or
greedy men in foodstuffs at this great
crisis in the worlds history.
The president spoke with feeling OF
the gravity of the food situation and
emphasized that the farmers Of Ameri-
ca are today face to face with the duty
and necessity not only of feeding the
armies of the United States and their
allies. but also all of the people OF the
countries engaged in war with Ger
many.
While none of the congressman pres
ent at the interview was willing today
to indicate what will be his attitude to-
ward the legislation, 1T is believed that
the presidents frank statement soft
ened the opposition of some of them.
MANY of the farmers who heard the
president left the White House inclined
to favor the proposed legislation, where
as when they went to see the president
they entertained many misgivings.

the land which It occupies. At this sea-
son Of the year it should be plowed to
as good a depth as possible and the
land narrowed along the line of the fur
rows so as to bury the grass as COM
pletely as possible. Then sow cowpeas,
velvet beans or any other crop which
may be used for grain or hay. If the
grass shows evidence Of life harrow or
pillow, prepare a good seed bed and plant
winter wheat cereals with which some
vetch and winter clover may be planted
to make a good thick bottom. If this
method is followed for two or three
years Bermuda grass can be completely
eradIcated from cultivated fields. We
know this TO be true from a rather eX-
tensive experience. OF course, blowing
the ground in the fall and exposing to
freezes will kill a considerable percent
age of the roots, but we believe the use
of smother crops is the cheapest most
desirable and effective method you can
employ.

1t will be an exceedingly difficult mat
ter, according to our opinion, to carry an
Irish potato crop through the long, hot
summer of Florida and keep them for
use next fall and winter. In this sec
tion of the country, in attempting to
keep. Irish potatoes, we proceed as fol-
lows:
We generally leave the potatoes in the
field until thoroughly ripe and matured.
They are then dug and sorted and put
in Slated boxes or containers holding
about one bushel. This allows air to
circulate through the potatoes and dries
out a part of the surplus moisture,
which might otherwise interfere with
their keeping. We then put them in
cellars, which are found under the or
binary house. where a furnace has been
installed, and keep them away from the
light, or in other words, in a dark
room. Sometimes covering lightly with
sand or other material, to prevent the
excessive evaporation of water. is de-
sirable. 1t is important to keep the
temperature as low as possible. An
average temperature of 60 degrees Is
desirable. but 1t sometimes goes consid-
erably above this. Potatoes often be-
come too dry and shrivelled to be very
satisfactory for table use If they are
kept for a long period of time.
II Is Bcu6Tdlly the DCbl
practice in this section OF the country
to plant second crop potatoes for fall
and winter USE The planting of this
crop as a rule should be done in the
northern part of the state about June
Is to July / and in the southern part
between July l and August l. 1t is
also very important to mulch the pota-
toes in order to insure their sprouting.
In a dry season they will often stay in
the ground several months before ger
minating, and If the season does not
come early enough to insure their de-
velopment at the right time, they fire.
quently fail to mature before killing
frosts occur.
We can offer you no suggestion as to
the keeping of potatoes through the
summer other than the one indicated.
We have had fairly good results from
this plan. One having a sweet potato
storage house could probably keep Irish
potatoes to advantage through the sum-
mer. One of the main troubles would
be to prevent the undue escape of mois-
ture and their consequent shrivelling.
You have already been informed as to
the necessity for keeping them in a dark
place, so as to prevent their discolora-
tion.

CONTROLLING WILT IN TOMATOES.

]. J., s., Meigs. Ca, writes: Please
inform me how to stop tomatoes from dy
ing with blight. The vines nearly grown,
loaded with fruit wither away and die, and
l would like 10 know how to stop it.
The trouble about which you write is
due to a bacterial disease which is wide
ly spread throughout the south. This
disease is known as the wilt of the
tomato" Sometimes it affects only the
leaf a whole stem or the whole plant
may wilt and die down. When this dis
ease attacks a tomato the stem general
ly turns a dark green. later brown and
finally black. 1t soon shrivels up, there
by killing the plant.
If this disease has occurred in your
garden before the disease has undoubt-
eddy spread to a considerable extent by
failure to pull up the affected plants
and burn them. If you have put the
plants on the same ground on which
they grew last year the disease will
prove very destructive. This trouble is
apparently spread through the agency of
insects also. l regret to say that no eff.
ficient method of combating it has been
found About all you can do is to ro-
tate your crops and pull up and burn
the plants that show evidence of the dis
ease and check the development of in
sects as much as possible Tomatoes
should not be planted in the same ground
on which egg plants, peppers or Irish
potatoes have been grown, as these are
subject to this disease as well.
You will see that it is very difficult
matter to fight this bacterial disease eff
fectively as the soil becomes inoculated
with it and anything which would de-
stroy the disease germs would probably
kill the plant as well. This disease is
often spread by people throwing affect
ed plants on the manure pile or compose
heap. 1t is a good practice therefore, to
use the commercial fertilizers under to-
matoes.
