 .The former German emporer's bar Der returned to Berlin today, his ser vices being no longer required, Count William Hohenzollern having definite ly decided to wear full beard always. Two other personal attendants accom- panied his homeward.
 The barber, whose name is Otto Kruger, has been for several years in close attendance upon the former em- peror, accompanying him on every journey and shaving him daily. His last duty was to cut Count Hohenzol- lrn's hair and then introduce the village bahber of Amerongen, who will in future he entrusted with this service.
 The entire German personnel is grad ually disappearing, but Court Marshal Gontard remains. as does General von Esdorff. Count Hohenzollern's close friend, as well as Captain Sigurd Won llsemann, his private secretary.

after each dipping After treatment drain the seed for few minutes and spread out to dry or plant within F hours. Never treat full sack of seed as the expansion is apt to burst the sack. A sack onehalf or two thirds full is much easier to handle and also allows for better agitation of the seed while immersed in the solution. Re member bichloride of mercury is a deadly internal poison but is not in- furious to the external parts or to clothing.
 Cost of Treatment
 Aside from the time and labor re- quired the cost of treatment is net great. By use of the hot water method the cost is almost negligible. Facilities for heating water and such articles a stubs. boilers and pails are found in every farm home. The one item of expense is for a reliable thermom- eter as the average household instru- ment is not accurate enough for this purpose. A good dairy or chemical thermometer ranging sufficiently high on the scale and responding quickly is best.
 To use the biChloride of mercury or corrosive sublimate treatment the outlay is necessarily greater. The cost of the material is quoted by Il loeal druggist at S3.50 per pound. In smaller quantities the price increases. A pound is sufficient to treat ton or more of seed. Barrels or wooden tanks are absolutely necessary. A wooden vat, 40 inches long, 90 inches deep and 24 inches wide, Gnside measurements capable of holding 125 gallons is made by a Phoenix Flaming mill for sl7.50 Sixty gallons of solution in a vat of

these dimensions is sufficient 10 treat 250 pounds of seed at one immersion. At this rate a ton of seed can be treated in day of eight hours, while with the use of a larger vat an ln creased amount could be treated with the same outlay for labor. Unless the treated seed is planted at once it should be spread on a piece of canvas to dry.
 Cautions and Recommendations
 Care should be taken to see taat every seed is wet whatever treatment is used. In the case of hot water d constant temperature is essential as below 149 degrees F. the treatment is of no value while if increased above 16S degrees F. serious injury to the seed is apt to occur.
 Unless planted at once or within 12 hours from time of treatment all seed should be thoroughly dried. Wet seed if left in sacks heats rapidly and germination is impaired.
 Laboratory tests show that treated seed increases in weight approximate ly fourth. If 50 pounds of dry seed to the acre are to be used it will be necessary to use 37 to 40 pounds of wet seed
 In using bichloride of mercury never make a stronger solution than recon mended. Such action is a useless waste of material and might affect the germination of the seed Remember that bichloride of mer- cury is deadly poison when taken in ternally. Treated seed should never be fed to stock or the solution left where stock or children would be apt to drink it.
 In case injury to the seed by trea.- ment is suspected a germination test

COTTON AILMENTS
 GROWERS ADVISED

Treatment of cotton seed to control the Angular Leaf Spot or Black Arm disease.
 Arizona Commission of Agriculture and Horticulture, press circular No. f5. March 5. 1919
 This bacteria organism was respon- sible for a loss of several hundred thousand dollars to the cotton growers of the state of Arizona during the season of 1918. Individual cases are known where the loss amounted to one third and even one half Of the crop. The disease is distributed in all sections of the state where cotton is grown and is especially severe on light sandy or new soil.
 The disease is carried over from season 10 season by means of the seed The young seeding plant first eX hibits infection in small circular, water soaked areas upon the seed leaves. The infection spreads from these to the stem of the plant an1 when a height of six inches or more has been reached a marked constric- ton of the stem is noticed at or slight ly above the soil surface. Plants at this stage frequently drop over and may lie prostrate on the ground but seldom die. Under favorable condi- tions an exudate, waXy and of q brownish yellow color appears just above the construction. This eXudate contains countless millions of the bac- teria or germs responsible for tic disease. These are easily spread from plant to plant by rain, dew and climb ing or flying insects.
 Leaf infections appear as the plant grows older and are in two forms The angular leaf spot is first observed wherein there appears a small watei soaked spot upon the under surface of the leaf bounded by the small veins

Signor Tittoni, the Italian Foreign
Minister and member of the Peace

continued. "This situation cannot
continue. The conference ought to
bring things 10 a conclusion. The
remaining treaties ought TO be ter
minated before thinking of taking
a holiday"
He insisted that there would be
danger in postponing the Asia
Minor question until October, and
demanded that the conference
should not forget its objective, as
ne declared it seemed TO be doing
Much OF this delay is caused by
the partisan action of Republican
Senators in postponing action on
the treaty with Germany now, for
five or six weeks, pending in the
Senate. All want TO know the fate
OF the German treaty. The Senate
committee bucks and halts then, af-
ter long delays on the pretense of

he distinctly offered 10 appear al
any time before the committee or
in open Senate to give ali the infor.
