London, Feb. l9.-Details today
OF the British victory around Mira

prisoners was expected today to
reach somewhat near one thousand.

DIRECTED VERDICT
IN HARVESTER CASE

Chicago, Feb. 19.-Federal Judge
Sanborn today directed that a verdict
of not guilty be returned by the jury
in the case against the Independent
Harvester company of Plano, Ill. The
court held that the government had
failed to prove that there was any
intent to defraud purchasers OF stock
in the company and that the evidence,
to the contrary, showed that the de-
PENDANTS we're sincere in their belief
that the company would be success.
Abrupt termination Of the trial
came after the government had spent
two years in preparation of the case
and after "a days had been consumed
in trying it. Seventy witnesses. all
farmers, who claimed they had been
defrauded, had testified.
The troubles OF the harvester COM
pany began five years ago when ef-
forts were made to secure a receiver
ship. The move failed and was fol-
lowed by the resignation OF the men
who subsequently went to trial or
charges OF attempting to defraud
The concern was capitalized at $40,
100000 and now is said to be op'
Grating at profit.

THE IMMIGRATION BILL
lSan Francisco Chroriclel

(San Francisco Chronicle)
Now that the immigration bill, with
the literacy test, is a law. it is we'll
to understand in what respects 1t will
affect the structure Of american so
ciety.
II will not assure intelligence in
new arrivals, for the mere ability to
read is possessed by multitudes Of
persons very low in the scale Of hu-
manity.
It does not assure knowledge OF
American institutions or traditions,
for the ability to read any language
or dialect in use in any country in
the world will admit an alien as free
iy as an extended acquaintance with
the literature of the English Ian
guags
1t does not assure honesty or good
citizenship, for our most dangerous
criminals are the best educated. Gull
ture does tend to diminish brutality
at least. one would have said so
before the present war-but the mere
ability to read is not culture. The
law may be expected to start cram
ming classes in foreign countries,
in which those desiring to come here
may learn to read sufficiently to pass
the test.
1t will certainly diminish the sup
ply Of labor for mining operations
and SO tend to permanently raise the
price Of coal and metals. 1t may
tend to reduce the number Of gar
ment makers. But, in the main, Il
will most affect the number avail
able for the least attractive forms o.
physical labor.
All this is obvious and as we'll un
derstood by Congressman as b,
Others. 1t must, therefore, be assum
ed that in enacting the law Congress
had in mind something else than tn
desire to improve either the moral
or intelligence of the population.
This may have been the wish to al
low the American people now here t
develop into a homogeneous Ameri
can race without any further dilutior
It has become a common saying tha
we are no longer assimilating aliens
but the aliens are assimilating us.
It may have been a wish to re
serve the employment incident to tn
development Of our resources an
commerce to those in the country.
Or II may have been determin
alton to exclude races not considere
desirable additions to our populatio
by q method which does not discrim
mate against any nation.
Or, finally. there may be a con
viction that the time has come whe
the people Of this country shall es
press their determination to decid
for themselves which aliens shall an
which shall not be admitted to thi
country.
Questions dealing with immigra
tion are domestic questions In respec
to which no foreign country is en-
titled to lbe heard.

Before potatoes are planted. they
should be treated for scab. Scab is a
germ disease which affects the tubers.
II the potatoes are planted without
treatment the Sol! in which they are
planted is likely to become infected
and cause succeeding crops to become
infected even If they are treated. Be-
fore the potatoes are cut, they should
be placed in a solution Of one pint
of 40 per cent. formalin to 40 gallons
of water. A solution as strong as one
pint of 40 per cent. formalin to 30
gallons of water may be used. The
potatoes should remain in this solu-
ton for one and one-half to two hours.
If the same container is to be used
for the potatoes after they are treat
ed as before treatment, this container
Should also be immersed in the solu-
ton so that any germs which have
been transferred from infected pota-
toes to the receptacle will not remain
to infect the treated seed.
Give more attention to the size of
the piece cut for seed rather than the
number Of eyes in the piece. The
piece is food for the potato plant un-
til it has welldeveloped root sys-
tenn. If the piece is exceedingly small
the early growth of the plant will be
stunted and the yield will be affected
accordingly. There is another posi-
BILE extreme, however, and that is get
ting the piece too large. If the piece
is too large it will contain so many
eyes that there will be too many
stalks for the best yield. A piece
weighing about two ounces and con-
tanning one or two eyes is sufficient.
The pieces should be planted the same
day they are cut.
The ground should be in good ply.
