PUBLIC AND LABOR CONFERENCE OPENS
Abnormal Economic Conditions. To Be Thoroughly Considered Yesterdays Session Was Devoted to Organization.

Washington, Oct 6.-Representa- tives of the public evinced spirited desire for action rather than oratory at the opening session today of the industrial conference called by Presi- dent Wilson.
 Apparently with the determination of differentiating this conference from many similar gatherings held in Washington, the public's delegates demanded that sessions be held night and day, if necessary to establish basis for harmonious relations be- tween capital and labor during the present abnormal economic conditions Bernard M. Baruch of New York, one of these delegates, was active in di- rceting the affairs of the conference, which was considered significant, in view of his close friendship with President Wilson and his frequent wis its to the White House.
 After the appointment of commit :: tees on nominations and rules, the conference adjourned to meet tcmor- row morning. Gavin McNab, of San Francisco, representative of the public, was mentioned prominently for permanent chairman of the con- ference, but members of both com mittees declined to indicate what their recommendations would be. Motion to adjourn by W. D. Mahon, one of the delegates of the American Federation of Labor, brought the first indication that the men named to represent the public were prepared to force results. Thos. l.. Chadbourne of New York, who sat with Mir. Bar uch, took the floor immediately.
 T should like very much to see the. motion changed so we can meet again this afternoon or evening"" he said. MT. Mahon explained that meet ling of the executive council of the
 Federation had been called some time previously which it was impos- sible to postpone and Mir. Chadbourne withdrew his suggestion. Later, how ever, Mir. McNab took the floor with the same thought as that expressed by Mir. Chadbourne.
 'sIn view of the fact that this con- ference is in the interest of har- mony," said MT. MeNab, suppose we set the example of working harmon iously and not making the principal and first feature of it desire to ad- journ."
 He declared the conference should show the people of the country how to work, but did not press the point and the motion to adjourn was car ried.

PLAY RACE RIOTS FOR MONEY GAIN
Organizers of Union" Out For Profit at Expense of Ignorant NegrOes-One of Committee NOf Seven Makes Statement.

Helena, Ark, Oct. GA statement was made today on the recent riots by B. M. Allen, of the committee of seven, authorized by local officers and Governor Brough to investigate the trouble, charging that the affair was an organized negro uprising, fostered by negro who preyed lon the ignor- ance and superstition of race of children, for monetary gains"
 The committee of seven is com posed of leading Helena business men. It has been authorized to carry on the investigation both by the municipal and county authorities and by Cover nor Charles H. Brough, of Arkansas. It is cooperating with the military authorities. Among members is F. F. Kitchens, sheriff of Phillips county.
 Mir. Allen, who was one of the leading men listed for death, after hearing confessions, examining circu- lars and other evidence procured by state and military officers in connec- tion with the work of the committee, issued the following statement to .ex- plain what the committee had found to be the situation leading to the kill ing of the five white men and up- wards of score of negroes.

 "The present trouble with the ne- groes in Phillips county is not race riot. It is deliberately planned in- surrection of the negroes against the whites, directed by band known as the Progressive Farmers and House hold Union of America,' established for the purpose of banding negroes together for the killing of white peo- pie. This union was started by Rob- ert L. Hill, negro 26 years of age, of Winchester, Ark, who saw in it an opportunity of making easy money. He had been farmer all his life but lately had been posing as a private detective, doing work in this and all foreign countries
 Hill started his first union work in April of this year. He organized the Ratio lodge' in May of this year when he chose Ratio because his mother happened to be living there. He told the negroes that he was an agent of the government and because the sena- tors and representatives at Washing ton were white men and in sympathy with the white tnen of the south, it was impossible for the negroes to get the rights that had been promised them for service in the army, and so the government had called into exist ence this organization, which would be supported by the government in defense of the negroes against the white people. He told them that it was necessary for all members of the union to arm themselves in prepara- tion for the day when they should be called upon to attack their white op- pressors.

BLEAK REGIONS OF ARCHANGEL
Base of British and American Troops
Operating in Russia.

Archangel, Russia, where a joint
Allied and American expeditionary
force has been in conflict with Boil
shevik troops, is described in a bull
letin of the National Geographic So
ciety, issued from its Washington
headquarters.
"The city of Archangel, where AL
lied and American troops have their
headquarters, was the capital of the
Archangel province, or government,
under the czar's regime, a vast, bar
rem. and sparsely populated region,
cut through by the Adriatic circle, "
the bulletin says.
"West and east, the distance
across the Archangel district is
about that from London to Rome,
from New York to St. Louis, or from
Boston to Charleston, S. G. It's area
exclusive of interior waters, IS
greater than that of France Italy,
Belgium and Holland combined. Yet
there are not many more people in
these great stretches than are to be
found in Detroit, Mich, or San Fran
cisco, CAL, or Washington, D. G.
"The climate is extremely cold,
In the northern parts the ground
does not thaw the year round. The
port of Archangel is ice-bound six
months in the year, and entirely free
from ice only three months.
"Arable land in all this territory
is less than 1900 square miles and
three-fourths of that is given over
to pasturage. The richer grazing
land supports Holmagor cattle, a
breed said to date back to the time
of Peter the Great, who crossed ma
tive herds with cattle from Holland.
Rocky, barren plains stretch
south of Archangel city, and these
with the swamps and marshes to the
east, and more plains and lakes to
the southwest, form about half the
province, while third more is over
grown with forests. There also are
tundras, covered with lichenss where
reindeer find pasturage.
about fifty miles from the mouth
of the Dvina river, which affords an
outlet to the White sea, lies the city
of Archangel. Norsemen came to
that port in the tenth century for
trading. One expedition was describ-
ed by Alfred the Great. But first
contact with the outside world was
established in the sixteenth century
when Sir Richard Chancellor, an
English sailor, stopped at the bleak
haven while attempting a northeast
passage to India. Ivan the Terrible

take a toll from two to four million
dollars every year from South Caro-
lima, and as the time approaches for
bedding, the way in which some Of the
more troublesome Of these diseases
get into the field should be kept in
mind.
Black rot, foot-rot, and scurf live
over winter on the potatoes in storage.
When potatoes affected with these
troubles are used for seed, the dis
eases get on the sprouts ind are car
RED directly to the field. Seed pota-
toes should therefore be carefully Sc
lected and no tubor used whose sur
face shows any sign at all Of black
ened or discolored areas.
These diseases also live over from
one season to the ncxt in the old beds.
The potatoes should therefore be bed
ded each year in 2. new place where
potatoes have never been grown or
bedded before.
These diseases are so common that
it is almost impossible to secure pota-
toes entirely free from all of them.
Therefore. it is we'll to soak the tuhers
80 minutes in a sc'ution Of formaline
made by adding one pint of formaline
to 80 gallons Of water. This treat
ment. which will destroy any disease
germs which happen to be on the sur
face Of the potatoes, can be made at
any time before planting. provided the
potatoes are allowed to dry and are
stored in bags or bins which have
been similarly treated.
BY selecting and treating your seed
potatoes you can increase your pro-
duction and at the same time make
the potatoes keep batter naxt winta.

HOW TO PREVENT COTTON AN
THRACNOSE.

Cotton an.kracnose, the fungus boil
rot of cotton, is carried in the seed.
The fungus lives over from one year
to the next IN the boil. To prevent
this troublesome and destructive Gis-
ease it is necessary to practice a To-
tation, and to secure seed for planting
purposes from fields where there was
no disease last year. Seed may also
come in contact with the disease at
the gin, and thus carry the trouble
into the field. Cotton seed three years
old will be free from disease even
though they came from fields where
the disease was present, Avoid this
disease by observing these precau-
tions.

of the year to test seed corn for ger
mination. The importance of testing
seed corn cannot be over estimated,
for it means a good stand Of corn and
a good stand of corn means a good
yield Of corn.
One Of the best and most reliable
ways of testing seed corn is with the
termination box. Any farmer can
make cheaply his own box. It may
be any size to suit the needs of the
individual. The sides should be made
of 2x4 timbers; the bottom, of any
convenient material. A box the size
suggested here will test two hundred
ears at one time, enough seed to
plant about sixteen acres. It usually
requires about II ears to plant an
| acre.
1. Make a box 4S inches long, 2S
inches wide, and or inches deep.
2. Procure a good piece of muslin
one inch larger each way than the
box.
8 Mark this muslin with heavy
lines into squares 2 inches. Leave a
margin Of 4 inches between the out
side row Of squares and the edge OF
the cloth.
f.. Begin at the left Of the upper
row Of squares (top row firs) and
number the squares to the right.
The squares down the left hand side
will then be numbered 1, 21, Al, 81,
and 81
S. Place IL bushels Of sawdust OF
old chaff in sack and soak well in
warm water (at least two hours).
6. Drain and afterwards press sur
plus water out Of sawdust.
Z. Place about inches Of sawdust
in the box and press firm and smooth
with a brick.
8. Place marked muslin on this
sawdust and tack to box around edge
9. Prepare another piece of mus
lin 2 inches shorter each way than
the one marked.
10. Secure another piece Of any
coarse, strong cloth twice as long
each way as one mentioned in 9.
The Corn.
II. Number the ears of corn to
be tested from 1 to 200. Use tag in
butt of ear fastened by pin or shingle
mail. Preserve the identity Of the ear
until the test is complete.
IL. Remove 6 kernels from each
ear as follows; two about IL inches
from the butt ofear; two about mid
die; two about 2 inches from tip.
13. Place the kernels from ear No.
in square No. 1; from ear No. 2 in
square No. 2, etc., putting germ side
of kernels up and tips all pointing
toward rows Of squares with lower
numbers.
IA. Wet small sheets Of muslin, as
made in No. 9, and place over kernels
to hold in place.
Is. Place a large sheet Of cloth as
made in No. 10 over this.
16. Put about inches Of wet saw
dust on this, press firm, and fold edges
of cloth over to cover sawdust.
II. Keep from freezing. II keN
warm, sprouts should be long enough
in or 8 days.
1S. Open by rolling the cloth con.
tanning the sawdust; then taking of
the loose cloth carefully, not disturb
ing the kernels.
Reading the Test. ---
10. Do not read until sprouts are
at least inches long.
20. If all the six kernels grow well,
the ear is considered "strong."
21. If the sprouts are weak, call
that weak" ear.
%. If two or more kernels do not
grow. call it a "bad" ear.
%. All but strong ears should be
rejected for seed. Have all sawdust
and cloth thoroughly wet. If warm
water is used, it will promote early
growth. If sawdust and cloths are
to be used repeatedly, thoroughly
sca1d to destroy mold.
