CERTIFICATES FOR Go vERMoNTERs
Showing That Their Potatoes Meet the
Standard Requirements.

Harold l.. Bailey of Bradford and A. H.
Gilbert of Burlington, who have been in
specting seed potato fields for the state
department of agriculture have com
pleted their work and Commissioner Il. s.
Brigham has issued certificates to 68
growers, covering 1857 acres. Five GER
tificates were issued to growers in Addi-
son county, four in Franklin county, 81
in Orange county, two in Orleans county,
II in Rutland county, five in Washing
ton county, two in Windham county
and 10 in Windsor county.
A certificate from the state depart
ment means that potatoes from the GER
titled fields are considered to be suitable
for seed purposes under the standards
adopted. A certain percentage of dan
gerous diseases disqualifies field for
certification.
There is a good market for potatoes
of this quality in the southern states.
where the climate is too warm for the
potato to reach normal development.
A. H. Gilbert will have charge Of the
marketing of this crop for the state de-
partment, and is now in Maine investi-
eating marketing conditions in the Aroo-
stock region. He will then 90 to Long

Trau had induced the Italian raiders to
withdraw after they had, surprised and
captured the small Serbian garrison. One
Italian and three men were left behind
and the American bmejackets we're sent
ashore to protect them and police the
town until Serbian troops could arrive.

UNITED STATES MAY
EXERT PRESSURE
In Order to Bring About Termination of
Dispute Over the Adriatic Question
May Withhold Financial and Other
Material Support

Washington D. G., Oct ,. Plans are
being considered, il became known here
to-day, TO apply strong American pres
sure to bring about termination of the
dispute over the Adratic question, as
we'll as in other cases where trouble has
arisen eopardizing the authority Of the
supreme council and threatening 70 set
at naught its decisions founded upon
powers conferred by the armistice and
the peace treaty
Unless the AdFiatie question is settled
satisfactorily within few days and un-
less the councils decisions are carried
ont, the American government may con
slider the advisability Of Withdrawing
for the present at least any further
financial or other material assistance to
the other powers.
TO allow Italy's claim to Fiume solely
on the basis of its forcible occupation
by d'Annunzio's irregular troops, in the
opinion of members of the supreme
council in Paris, would involve recogn-
tion by the entente of Rumania's 3 claims
in Hungary: Greece's claims to large
portions Of Turkey and even possibly
Germany's claims to rich portions of
western Russia It is felt that admis-
sion by the council OF the right of any
nation TO seize territory regardless OF
pledges TO refrain from aggression would
be regarded as tantamount to an absn-
donment Of the basic principles upon
which the peace conference was assem-
bed and as threatening permanent
peace,
Reeent advices from Errope are re.
garded as indicating that some of the
entente governments themselves or their
representatives have not fully sustained
the council in decisions in which they
participated
