would be no vines left to spray. and
no crop worthy the name. The bug.
however, can easily be seen, and one
can walt until the bug appears before
spraying.
With blight. especially the late
blight, 1t is different The fungus can
not be seen. but is always lying In am
bush. Ii is In league with the weather.
since the very weather which favors
the blight makes spraying difficult.
Yet whenever the spores of this dis
ease come In contact with the spray
covered leaf they are absolutely killed
and the damage which they might do
is saved to the farmer.
Let US make some rules about pota.
to spraying:
/. Spray often enough to keep up
with the growth of the vine.
If the spraying Is started when the
vines are SIX inches nign, TINS means
three or more sprayings during the
course of the season.
2. Respray whenever the spray ma
teriai is washed of by beating rains.
This may sound serious. since some
times heavy rains come almost every
day. but remember, spray materials
are adhesive and laa a long time.
Furthermore. 1t Is In the season OF
beating rains that spraying is most
needed and after all most profitable
3. Cover the whole plant-not simply
the top leaves Of the top branches.

KEEP EvERLAsTINeLY At IT.
This ls the Only Way to Prevent Po-
tato Biights and RIOTS.


There are three essentials In spray
ing potato crops.
The first is. to start early. when the
vines are about six inches high.
The second is to spray so as to cover
the plant--above, below, on the right
side, on the left side, In front and at
the back.
The third Is to keep at II so that the
spray covering will keep up with the
growth of the plant. and be renewed
as often as washed Off by beating
rains.
II looks easy. 1t Is easy. But first
the would-be sprayer must have the
right idea.

spraying early--if they did not there

This covering. however. should be
with q mist. not with a sprinkle. 1t
should be from beneath and from the
sides as well as from the top.
A nozzle per row is sufficient to be-
gin with. When the vines get larger.
two nozzles are needed. When the
vines cover the rows effective spraying
cannot be done with less than three
MOBILES, one at the top and two at the
sides. This means that plenty OF pow
er must be had so that every inch of
the vines can be covered. ~
Sometimes would-be sprayers may
mistake the quantity of spray. For the
first spray. so gallons per acre is
enough. Naturally. as the vines grow
larger more spray is needed. Three
times so may be needed when the
vines are large enough to lodge be-
tween the rows.

Dear n. B. Friends:
& p.


The above poem was printed in the
Bangor Daily NeWs OF April 16, and while
it is pathetic there is truth in it which
none of us should forget. 1.-THE boys''
are standing between us and the on
slaught of foe who respects not woman
hood. From all authentic accounts
America was to share the fate OF the
allied countries il Germany won out; or
If not sharing their fate, the war would
have been brought 10 our own shores.
Let US remember they "ars going across
for u.s." This is the time we need heart
and courage and helpiuiness.
ITO doubt would be disloyalty.
To faIter would be sin."

R. R. FACED RUIN
Government Took Control Be-
cause of Financial Situation.
Underwood Fights for PrOtec-
ton of Lines During War.

Washington, Feb. 21.-The financial
situation and not war needs or freight
congestion, Senator Underwood of
Alabama, told the senate today was
the real cause for the government
taking over railroads. The senate was
debating the administration bill pro-
viding for federal control of the trans
portation lines during the war
When the president issued his pro-
clamation last December, Senator
Underwood said, the railroads faced
SlS2, eoo,e S2 in maturing obligations
on securities for 1918, while for the
four years which would end in 1921
these obligations would total $685.
100000.
Under normal conditions railroads
would have found no trouble in renew
ing them, but because of the war and
the floating of bond issues by the gov
eminent it would have been an i'm
possibility, he said.
There were then two conditions
facing the president" Senator Under
wood continued, "either the United
States government must take over the
railroads and finance these securities
during the war, or congress had to
prepare a moratorium and provide
that no suit be brought on these rail-
road bonds and foreclose them during
the war and for a reasonable time
operate the railroad systems of the
country.
President Forecasted Danger
Il don't think there was a sane
business man in the United States who
did not realize that something must be
done, and the president, in his wis
dom, decided on this course. For that
reason he argued it was now necessary
for congress to recognize the wisdom
or the presidents action and provide
for it accordingly"
Senator Underwood opposed giving
the president power to fix rates, de-
claring there is no war power or war
necessity involved in rate making"
Senator Underwood was followed by
Senator Sherman of Illinois, who sup
ported the bill. He said he did not
approve of all it's provisions, but as it
is emergency legislation he would vote
for it

GOODS" ON PACKERS
Facts Support BorIand's Charge Pack
ers Are boarding Hides.

Chicago, Feb. 21.-Representative
Borland's charge that packers had
Uncle Sam by the throat in the hide
and leather market brought en-
phatic denials of boarding from Louis
F. Swift and F. E. White, vice presi-
dent of Armour & Co., today.
At the same time, however, Francis
J. Heney, special counsel for the fed
eral trade commission. came to Bor-
lands support. According to state
ments from both sides, the situation is
as follows:
The quantity of hides stored by the
five large Chicago packers increased
As per cent since early in 1916. Prices
increased from rs to 100 per cent,
much greater than the increased
price the packers have paid for cat
tle," said Heney. The number of cat
tie killed increased % per cent in
July, last year, accounting for in
creased holdings, according to Swift.
Embargoes cut off foreign trade and
imports from Argentina increased the
hide supply in the United States;
nevertheless Swift & Co. sold 20 per
cent more hides during 1917 than in
the previous year.
1.-The price of hides is not RESPONSE
BILE for the high price of shoes" said
White. There is no boarding de-
signed to boost the price of hides

KNOCKS $3.50 WHEAT
Playing Into Hands of Profiteers, Says
Non.Partisan League Head.

ST. Paul, Mimi, Feb. 21--Farmers
do not desire higher wheat prices, pro
vided the cost of things they buy are
reduced, according to A c. ToWnley,
president of the National Non-Part-
san league today zs--.a
Denying the league would support
bills in congress for increasing the
wheat price to $3.50 or So a bushel,
Townley said:
In my opinion, these bills, will
please the profiteers. These gentry
think they can boost prices all around,
if essentials are boosted. Thus they
would place the farmer into their own
class. Farmers will not benefit from
So wheat if mill feeds, farm machin-
cry and other necessities continue Ito
advance.
Labor troubles might result, be-
cause SO wheat would cause the wage
worker to suffer. But if congress does
not give the administration power to
compel great monopolistic middlemen
and other profiteers to reduce prices,
then in self-defense the farmer must
get more for his wheat or farm pro-
ductiOn will fall off"

reason for the entertainment this noon
Is the meeting of the Rota rians in the front

their intention of living up to their plat
doors open all during the time that the
orchestra Is functioning In its appointed
way, and the diners in the regular diner
VIII get the benefit of the music.
Which brings to mind the fact that G. L.
Hooper slipped in as a feature Chamber
Since that time he has been one of the
regular providers at the Chamber, and it
is well worth while. You know Hooper
does not believe in a diet of straight or
chestration. He usually varies his pro
gram with a vocal song or two from the
lips of some prominent local singer else
a MARBLE by a professional stage voice.
Which also brings to mind the fact that
Hooper has promised an exceptional enter
tainment for ladies' day next week 1t
would be good idea to lay your plans
accordingly.
Directors Webb and Tandy are the most
careful guardians of the Chambers treas
ury. They have proved it time and again
in directors meeting. But, when it came
to providing the necessary $500 for the
X. and l.. of s. Tome these two tied up
their dogs of guardianship and went to the
mat for the appropriation. They got it.
Secretary Kirkpatrick has the. thrift
stamp habit, and has it bad. He buys a
two bit stamp every day, and when his
sheet is filled he files it away for his
baby girl. Perhaps it will be her dowry.
Rev. Bowden, the driving head of the
