ARIZONA FOLK
GIVEN CHANCE
To AID IN WAR

The week of February 11-16 is Spy
Glass Week all over the United States
and the four minute men will devote
themselves especially to telling the
people the need of the nation for BIZ
noculars, spy glasses and telescopes.
The navy simply must have them,
while they are very handy also in
France along the trench lines. Just
now, the glasses are wanted by the
navy to outfit the hundreds of DESTROY
ers and patrol boats that are being
sent to help against the submarine
menace and to guard our brave lads
on such troop ships as the Tuscania
Its big thought, but your field glasses
might save a thousand American lives
and may make possible the destruction
of an underwater boat. That was Just
the thought of James b. Adams, when
he brought into the Council of Defense
a fine pair of binoculars he had owned
for many years and which he had
brought for better view of the natural
beauties of Arizona on his annual visit
from his home in Quincy, Ill. Some
thing similar was the expression that
same with offered glasses from DR.. J.
b. Gillespie Otis Z. Young, Archie
Jackson, Joe Shook and V A. Schmitz,
all Phoenix folk, S. Fl. Sherman of
Christmas, AriZ., and Frank Woods of
Tempe, who wanted to be represented
on the grey waters of the North sea.
Their offerings already have been sent
on to Assistant Secretary Roosevelt of
the navy department, to whom other
glasses may be sent, direct, if pre-
ferred. If it be handler, however, Sec
rotary Charles r. Green of the Arizona
| Council of Defense would be pleased
/ to act as the donors agent. All glasses
| should be securely tagged with the
| name of the owner.

Often a slight puncture or sunken spot
in the skin, reveals beneath 1t deep
pocket or pit resembling the work Oh
some insect. The object of seed treat
ment is to kill all the sclerotia or any
part of the fungus that might be pres
ent upon the seed tubers.
Potato Scab
Potato scab appears upon the tuoers
in crust spots, deeply cracked ana Iur-
rowed. In serious cases these spots
NAV join together, causing general
rougheneds appearance over the surface
of the tuber. Scab developes no sclero-
tia. or other structure upon the surface
of the tuber and causes no pits or
pockets as in the case OF the rhiZocto-
MIA disease.
The rhizoctonia disase is caused by
n soil fungus common in many soils
and supposed to be native in some.
Scab is caused by a soil bacterium,
common in nearly all soils and espe-
ciallv prevalent in soils with high
humus content RhiZoctonia is espe-
ciallv favored by an acid soil. and scan
bv an alkaline soil. Rhizoctonia Is
lessened by the use of barnyard man.
IRE while scab is increased by its use
especially if the manure is fresh. IL
has recently been determined that the
organism causing scab is very prevail
ont in humus material in the process OF
accommodation. Both diseases develop
hest under high moisture conditions
and when once established IN the SOL
will remain there for indefinite periods

ARIZONA DRAF I
QUOTA ALMOST
COMPLETE NOW

Arizona men will not be included in
the call for the fourth and final
quota of troops which will complete
the first draft and which are ordered
to begin to entrain on February %
and to be completed within five days.
Troops from eighteen states will move
to the environments on those dates.
They will go as follows:
Camp pevens, 6575; Connecticut,
groups, 1923; Massachusetts, 20S2
New Hampshire, %; New York, 772;
Rhode Island, 81; Vermont. So, and
New York troops formerly allotted
to Camp Dix, 1921.
Camp Upton C75o0). New York
troops formerly allotted to Camp Dix,
42S7, other New York troops, 1918;
camp Dix 10000, all from New
Jersey; Camp Mead, (609O) Pennsyl-
Vania, 1870, and West Virginia, 1920;
Camp Lee, (30OO), all from Pennsyl-
vania; Camp Jackson 33S3), colored,
all from South Carolina; Camp Cor
don (2S00), colored all from Georgia;
| Camp Grant (5000). all from Illinois,
Camp Taylor (62S4. Illinois. 1852, and
Kentucky, 1882.
Camp Dodge Q4.9SG, Iowa. 1854,
and Minnesota $500; Camp Funston
(2332), Kansas 7OS, and Missouri
1924; Camp Travis C755S), Oklahoma
1880, and Texas 417S Camp Pike
/ (2000), colored all from Arkansas.
1 Because many slackers from Ari-
IONA have been picked up in all
parts of the country and forwarded
| to the camps, less than 100 men are
needed at present to complete the fun
| quota of the first draft for this state,
| and it is confidently expected by the
4 officials at state draft headquarters
that by February 90, the date set
! for the entraining of the final quota
! in eighteen states, that Arizona's full
quota will have been furnished
Arizona is not alone in having her
quota all or nearly all furnished
there being twenty nine other states
in that fortunate class. This state
probably will not be called upon for
more men for the national army until
the next draft is made under the new
classification.

INCOME TAXES
AFFECT MANY

PHOENIX, Ariz., Feb. 10.-The state
council of defense has been asked to
give all possible publicity to the fact
that men and women who never before
paid an income tax are affected by the
new War7taX regulations. Not later
than the end of this month there must
be on file in the office of the internal
revenue collector in Phoenix a sworn
statement from every single man
whose income exceeds $1,000 a year
and from every married man, or man
with dependents, whose income is
above $1,000. On all excess above the
sums stated there must be paid a ma
tional tax of per cent. This, how
ever. is on the net sum, after deduc-
ton of certain credits allowed. But,
even if the credits bring the net
amount below the limit, the statement
must be filed, just the same, under
heavy penalty for default Field men
have been sent out in the state to help
in the preparation of statements and
there should be made every effort to
see them or to communicate with the
collector in Phoenix

NEW
SPANISH IDEA

A new method in the teaching of the
Spanish language is to be introduced
at the Phoenix High school Monday
by Miss Clarita Salmans, head of the
Spanish language department. out of
her various classes of pupils in Span
ish, Miss Salmans will pick out two
dozen to sit at a Spanish table in the
cafeteria every noon. At this table only
Spanish will be spoken. English, al
though a very useful tongue, will be
entirely prohibited. If a pupil wishes
to have salt passed to him, he must
say. "Passo mi la sal, por favor" in
stead of, pass me the salt, please" as
he would say it in his native tongue
Any pupil persistently using English
Arizona republican. [volume] (Phoenix, Ariz.) 1890-1930, 1918-02-11

words will be discharged from the ia
BILE. after he is given a few warnings.
BY giving her pupils a little useful
training of the side, Miss Salmans be-
lieves that she may be able to give the
Spanish language boost, the Spanish
department of the school a boost. and
help the pupils acquire a working
knowledge Of the Castillian tongue.
Incidentally, Miss Salmans is one of
the most progressive teachers of for
eign tongues that the school has en-
rolled on the faculty. She was brought
up in old Mexico, and is fully versed on
Spanish life and customs. She can
speak the language perfectly, and by
the constant use of the tongue before
her pupils gives them a training that
they would not acquire from teacher
who learned the language in college.

TREATMENT Of
SEED POTATOES

Potatoes are subject to a number of
diseases the most important of which
in Arizona are rhizoctonia and scab.
Of these two, the former is by far
the more serious. In connection with
the treatment and control measures
recommended the appearance of the dis
ease upon the tubers and some other
general characteristics are briefly con-
sidered.
The Rhizoctonia Disease
This disease appears upon the tubers
as small, warty, dark brown elevations,
resembling dirt particles that will not
rub off These structures are known
as the sclerotia and are much more
conspicuous when the tuber is wet.
Frequently the disease causes slight
corrosion or roughening of the skin to
which the term ''russet scab' has been
applied. This stage in usually assc-
