The chief obstacle to the experiment
of daylight-saving in the United
States was the railway time tables.
Now that the railways are in govern
ment hands, and changes in time
tables are imperative in any case, ex-
pertinent in daylight-saving can be
made with little friction.

AGRICULTURAL NOTES
Prepared for the Journal by Ohio
Experiment Station.

Eight diseases common in Ohio
potato fields are described and
measures for controlling each trou-
BILE are recommended in a bulletin
just printed by Ohio Experiment
Station at Wooster. Fusarium wilt,
blackleg and leaf-roll are controll-
ed by selecting clean seed. Scab
and rhizoctonia require treatment
of seed tubers in corrosive subli-
mate of formalin. Early and late
blight and tipburn are amenable
to spraying with Bordeaux nix
ture.
The bulletin is especially de-
signed for increasing potato yields
on Ohio farms and in war gardens
this season. 1t is mailed free to
any Ohio resident.
Corn left in the field during last
winter has proved worthless for
seed when tested for termination
at the Ohio Agricultural Expert
ment Station, as the freezing tenn
peratures killed the germs. The
same kind of corn gathered last
fall and stored in warm, dry
place now tests about 100 per cent
in termination.
Many samples of corn taken
from shocks left in the field test
less than five per cent. Such
corn should be discarded for plant
ing this spring.
Corn covered by snow on the
ground during the cold weather is
thought by some to be suitable for
seed. OF 60 such ears tested at
the Experiment Station only three
showed any life. Of 1S kernels
taken from these three ears only
10 sprouted. No ear showed per-
feet termination.
Only well-matured corn proper
ly stored is considered fit to plant
this year. The testing of every
ear of corn is being urged over all
the state.
Edward Brown, English poul-
try commissioner, in recent ad
dresses in Ohio, urged Ohio poul-
try raisers to increase the produc-
ton of poultry and eggs. While
there is shortage Of tonnage at
the present time which prevents
unrestricted export Of these foods
that are in extremely great de-
mand at the war hospitals, the in
creased number of ships that are
being built, Mr.. Brown believes,
will make possible larger ship
ments. Poultrymen ere, therefore,
urged to be ready for the oppor-
tulnity when it comes. He said
eggs are selling in London for
$1.32 a dozen.
The yield of potatoes in United
States is hardly half what it
should be, partly because of the
fungous and bacterial diseases
which destroy from 10 to 30 per
cent of the entire crop. Some OF
these diseases are carried ON the
seed tubers and may be controlled
by seed selection and seed treat
ment. One of the standard disin-
fecting solutions consists of one
pint of formalin to 80 gallons of
water. This solution may be used
| repeatedly and will treat about 80
bushels of seed. The tubers should
be soaked in it for two hours.
They may be cut before the treat
ment, if they are to be treated inn
mediately. They should be treat
ed whole, however, if this work is
done several days before planting.
Keep the knives used for cutting
tubers thoroughly disinfected by
the solution. More detailed infor-
nation concerning the treatment
of potatoes may be had from w.

WORLDS GREATEST ADVERTISING TROPHY
 WON BY EyT|NGE

A telegram from Canada carries the news that the worlds greatest adVer- Using trophy, a silver cup more than 21a feet high. and awarded annually to the printing firm producing the most effective printed campaign in be- half of his own business. has been won by the work of Louis Victor Eytinge, Maricopas famous prisoner at Flor ence.
 In the contest for the Acorn trophy, donated by the Chicago Paper com- pany. were entered the largest printers of the United States and Canada, and these entries included every form of printed advertising.
 The winners used nine booklets a number of folders. fine art posters and even the ordinary blotter, together with some remarkable letters of sen timent issued in holiday periods. Last year, Eytinge became associated with The Mortimer company, one of the three largest Canadian printers. deter mined to win this particular trophy and success has followed his high aim. His client had produced notable work for the Canadian government and it is now doing the largest part of the printing for Canadas forthcoming Vic tory loan. The trophy will be officially awarded next month and will be brought to Arizona during the winter. Whatever may be ones opinion as to Eytinges guilt, his strenuous endeav- ors to climb the ladder of success are worthy of appreciative interest Last year he won the championship cup in 1 the Making-Letters-P Pay contest and now. without any previous experience | in printing, he carries off the highest | honor in that field.

Old Csmouflaqe

Percentage is the most frequently employed camouragc we know of. It used to conceal and distor facts and deceive the public long before the French word. born of the war, was brought to our percentages and rates of taxation.

 We needn't finish it. It's just a typical society" item that all read from time to time in the home town paper
 Gives us a funny sensation doesn't it? We realize that people still getting married and going on honeymoon trips and for all know, taking baths in hot water. Not that have any objection to Boz we'll getting married. We just-but then hard ly analyze it.
 But when an item like this we don't have any trouble defining emotion:

 Sir
 May be permitted to ask your pa per to make a slight correction Tn 'ile article in today's Arizona Republican under heading Fred T. Colter au- dresses big meeting here,
 In making what l deem to De- very fair and correct statement ot the Col'er rally last evening slight dlscrepahss appears there in as to my remafhs about the Democratic Press of this state. I would not deem it necessary to ask vour correction except that II appears that l might have cast a re- flection against the splendid weekly newspapers throughout the state which are generally democratic in tAelr nolitics. Of course. in an imprompta speech such as 1 made last evening here in Phoenix, one may lnNertehtiy V use an ambiguous term which would lead to n misconception of what the speaker intended
 My stenographer having reported the speech, I find from the notes taken that my remarks concerning the news papers applies to the big dailies flying the democratic flag at their masthead and I intended to state that they are not purveying altogether truthful facts nor democratic principles, and that 1t seemed to be their purpose to disrupt the democratic party in this state. certainly did not mean to reflect upon the splendid weekly press of this state or even refer to them. nor did have in mind the excellent daily paper pub lished in the northern part Of this state but I did intend however, to compliment The Arizona Republican as a newspaper, pure and simple meant to say its pages are clean anC it's new items accurate, and in tha' connection will add here that its edl- torials are in excellent literary 9tyle and possesses much merit in that re gard.

Relief In Siqht

We glad it is nearly over-this democratic governorship contest It has interfered with the very large extent. While it is that for the western front, what might have happened any day should have engaged the attention of a patriotic people. Instead. citizens have passed hurriedly the first page to the inside pages in the political advertising what crimes had been committed by the candidates of the other factions; what weaknesses have been developed what new fitness the office sought has ben disclosed.
 So far Arizona is concerned, the worlds series might well not have been played at all. It has been this state it incomprehensibe that 10000 people should sit around grand stands bleachers and pay good money for the privilege foolishly running around bases while the great prize of the nomination for the Arizona governorship being contended for.

BARRE SIDETR4CKED
FOR MANY HOURS
Central Vermont Track a Field of I'm
broken Snow from Tuesday After
noon Till This Afternoon.

Overland stages, trains and trolley cars
succumbed for the most part to the blast
of blizzard which held Barre in its
grip last night, and in the afterglow of
the big blow quiet that never existed
on the Potomac prevailed in Barre. 1t is
true that telephone and telegraph mes
sages were running along the wires, but
aside from communication furnished by
these hardy utilities, the city was prac-
tically isolated from the rest of the
world For day-and may it be a
short one-residents of this town were
experiencing the same sense OF solitude
which comes every six months to resi-
dents of Sitka and Fairbanks.
Yesterdays heavy snowfall was fol-
lowed by high wind which lasted far

wind which nautical novelists use to

ARE BECOMING BOLD.
German Airmen Are Flying Low Near
American Aviation Centers.

With the American Army in France,
Jan. 10 tby the Associated Press En-
emy air raiders are showing an increased
interest in the American aviation CEN
tiers, especially those nearest the lines.
During one of the most recent incursions
the German airplanes descended within
200 feet of the ground, endeavoring to
make sure that the several bombs which
they dropped should hit their targets,
which in most cases were buildings in
which men were billeted Luckily the
German aim, even at such close range,
was poor, for no Americans were killed
Another German machine which flew
over the position later dropped bomb
from a higher altitude at a hangar. The
bomb missed its mark but dug a great
hole in the adjoining field
At a certain place near by, an enemy
squadron descended within 300 feet of
the earth and sprayed an anti-aireraft
gun position with hail of bullets. but
did not hit any of the gunners, all of
whom were French.
The Americans at the most advanced
aviation camp have found a novel mount
ing for the machine guns used for de-
fense against enemy airplanes. When the
guns for the newly dug pits arrived. it
was discovered that only field carriages
bad been provided. These were insult
able for aircraft defense work. so swivels
were constructed from old motor-truck
springs. These improvised mounts are
held to be as good as any used.

JURY IN SNARL.
Reported Several Times They Could Not
Agree About WaIdron.

Brattleboro, Jan. l6.-Although the
federal court jury gave the case earnest
consideration for over twelve hours yes
terday, it was unable to state at 1890
last evening whether or not Rev. Clar
ence III. Waldron was guilty of seditious
utterances as charged by the United
States. Judge Howe told the jurors
they could go to bed, asked them not to
be impatient over the case or with the
court and to try again to-day.
The jury was given the case at $50
yesterday morning and reported dis
agreement at four and at six yesterday
afternoon, the court advising on such
occasion that the panel retire again and
think it over. They evidently tried hard
to do as directed and at nine last night
returned and asked to have part Of
the testimony read to them The jurors
last appearance was at l030 when Judge
Howe suggested in reply to another an
of disagreement that they
retire for the night In charge of a dep
uty marshal they walked to the Brooks
house and were locked up.
