MEETING
BIG SUCCESS
MEETING HELD At CITY HALL
SATURDAY WAS WELL At
TENDED AND INSTRUCTIVE.

Last saturday the most progressive
spud growers of the Valley met with
Professor Bennett at the City Hall.
Their number was not large but
they were the men who will be
most likely to lead in production
next fall. The following is a partial
synopsis OF the data given out by
the Idaho potato expert.
Potato Diseases.
The three main diseases are Scab,
Rhizoctonia and Fusarium (stem-end-
rot). The first two can be con-
trolled with corrosive sublimate, a
poison, tho nothing can be done for
Fusarium can be seen
readily as a dark streak near the
skin when a piece is clipped from
the stem end OF a diseased potato.
If split lengthwise this same dark
marking may be aeen to extend hall
way thru the spud. The other twol
diseases are surface troubles and
need to be soaked l 1-2 to 2 hours !
in a proper disinfectant. Formalde-i |
hyde controls scab but will not
control Rhizoctonia. Hence Corrosive
Sublimate is the better to use as
t controls both surface diseases.
oisinE Ection.
Dissolve corrosive sublimate in hot
water. Dilute so that every 80 gal
ons of water contains ounces of
he poison. This corrodes metal
containers and OF wooden vats a
rough will be found handler than
barrel. Place sound whole pota-
oes in this trough OF disinfectant
nd let soak for 1-2 to 2 hours.
his will control the two external
iseases, scab and rhizoctonia. Re-
move spuds with potato fork and
ct drain on sloping platform. For ,
uccessiye dippings keep strength I.
enewed in disinfectant.
Professor Bennett believes that =
me is gained to green potatoes be-
ore planting. The disinfected po.a-
oes should at once be placed in
thin layer on the floor of well

Raises in railroad freight rates doomed
UP large as a possibility yesterday
when the interstate commerce COM
mission granted reopening of the
hearings for the Is per cent increase
which had been asked and refused.
The action of the commission is the
result of the urgent pleas Of the East
ern railways for financial assistance.
This plea has been repeated ever
since the refusal of the commission
to grant the raises that were asked
and have become more than ever ur-
gent since the strain of meeting war
transportations has fallen upon them.
The roads insist that more rolling
stock, more trackage and more of
other equipment is essential to prop
erly meet the needs of the govern
ment, that under present. rates it is
impossible to operate with profit, es-
peciaily owing to higher wages and
other higher cost of operation. and
that it the needed equipment is to be
purchased the railroads must be per-

HATCH is
BACKGROUND FOR
new BIJOU SHOW

The squirrels sure would have had
great feast at the Bijou last night il
they had. been on the job. When lzZy
walked into the bughouse and bumped
up against Calamity Jane, Dago Red
and Edwin Booth and numerous other
inmates of the booby-batch, it was
just like lighting a short fuse on
keg of giant powder. And it didn't
take long to start things Raving
msniacs, strong-arm guards, frantic
doctors and nurses, and poor Icy, a
lone officer trying to keep order in
an insane asylum, presented a kalei.I
descopic view of the western front.
And the chicks, of course, were out in
full force. When. the chicks danced
out in the first number some one in
the audience murmurred, "If this is,
the bughouse, want to be a raving
nut"
The songs and dancing numbers
were original bits of entertaining. The
chorus had A lot of new and startling
costumes, the lines of the play were
quick and snappy, and although there
were plenty of nuts in the bughouse
none of the chestnut variety were no
ticed. 4
Ethel Davis, of course, made ire
mendous hit with the first-nighters, as
she always does. She had several
new songs. Here Come the Married
Men, making the hit of the evening.

Ivy paying the lead-Desdemona =.
The production lasted for 10 min
utes until the uproars from the au-
dience drowned out the performers.
Even Lou couldn't keep from laugh
ing. The trio made another hit.

SWALLOWED OPEN SAFETY PIN.
Farmer Near DEBORAH Has Narrow
Escape From Death. DR.. Dahl
Removed Pin.

Mr. A. A. Allen who lives on the
Beard farm west of DEBORAH met with
an experience, which might have re-
suited fatally to him. While eating
his evening meal last Thursday he
fe.t that he had swallowed some for
eign substance AID tried hard to
eject it, but it kept going down, final
ly lodging about nine inches down in
the esophagus. 1t panied and worried
him terribly for couple of days, and
finally the pain got so bad Mr.. Allen
came to town and consulted DR.. Dahl
The DR.. inserted an instrument down
Mr.. Aliens throat and felt the object
alright, and after good deal of skill
full manipulation succeeding in hook
ing it, and drew it out. 1t proved to
be an open safety pin nearly two in
ches long that had fallen into some
of the food prepared. The pin had
lodged cross wise in the gullet. If Dr.
Dahl had not succeeded in drawing il
up it would have meant very SER
ious operation for Mr.. Allen. 1t is
needless to say that he was the
most Pleased man in the county when
the pin was removed.
