MEXICAN MATCH A CURIOSITY
10 Made Of Short Piece OF Cotton
String, With Head at
Each End.

The Mexican friction match, from
our point Of view, Is q curiosity. For
one thing, It is not made Of wood. but
IS a short piece Of cotton string. Sec.
ondly, 1t has two heads.
There is an undeniahles advantage
about match with two heads. II one
fails to light there is another In re-
serve. But the Mexican matches, to
do them Justice, rarely 60 out. One
can strike them successfully In a fair
breeze.
This is because the cotton string is
coated with wax. In Mexico there are
factories In which such matches are
turned out by ingenious machines, but
billions of them are made by hand In
ashton n the strings being
tipped with phosphorus composition
by girls and boys whose wages are q.
few cents day.
One match in Mexico is really two
matches. Thus when the native starts
q fire or lights cigarette with fresh
one, he tucks the string back into his
pocket for use next time.

him from continuing the engagement
The German kept trying to creep Out
on the steamers port side, but The
master checkmated him each time and
continued to keep him dead astern.
When the sun began to set the Ger
man tried to maneuyer so that the
steamers gunners would have to fire
into the eye of the sun. But the
master prevented him from getting the
benefit of such a position until the
sun was obscured by clouds.
Throughout the engagement. which
lasted six hours, the German managed
to score only one hit. This shell
broke the steamers deck surface pipe,
punched hole through the boat

touching two men who We're there,
finally exploding in the second cooks

this the steamer suffered no damage.

SPRAYING POTATOES
TO CONTROL BLIGHT
Experiments Prove That .Bor-

Results Given Of Tests Conducted

(Prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
That thorough spraying will control
late blight in seasons Of bad infec-
ton has been proven many times in
the past and most recently in tests
conducted last year in Aroostook
county, Maine, by the United States
department Of agriculture in cooper
alton with the Maine agricultural ex-
pertinent station. Some potato grow
ers have expressed their opinion that
1t does not pay to spray potatoes for
this disease. Growers Of this opinion
claim that when the weather condi-
lions are such that the blight is Sc
we're, spraying does not control 1t suffi-
GENTLY to give an appreciable increase
I'm the yield, and that in seasons when
the attack is light the increase in the
yield from spraying is not sufficient
to cover the added cost. In one block
where small test plots sprayed with
standard bordeaux mixture were in
terspersed with untreated check
plots. the average yield on IL of the

number Of untreated plots was at the
rate Of 1885 bushels per acre. This
was an increase Of 37.7 bushels pei
acre, OF more than 20 per cent in
favor Of bordeaux mixture.
In another similar block the aver.
age yield Of five plots sprayed with
bordeaux mixture was at the rate OF
nearly 237 bushels per acre, while that
of the four untreated check plots In
| the same block was 174.3 bushels
The gain here was 62.5 bushels pei
acre or about 36 per cent due to
spraying. Six applications were made

plots.
On these experimental plots, spray

or two weeks sooner, or by the enc
