POTATO GROWERS COME
TO VERMONT FOR SEED
Long Island and Jersey Farmers Visit
Plots Certified by Commissioner
of Agriculture

Montpelier, Aug. 19.-Inspectors un-
der Commissioner of, Agriculture e. S.
Brigham have just completed the first
field inspection of potatoes for which
application was made for seed certii-
cation. The number, something over
$50 fields is much larger than that of
any previous years since the project
was started and manifests large de-
velopment of interest in the plan, That
this interest is justified is shown by
the number of growers from the great
Long Island and New Jersey potato
regions who come to this state TO look
up a source for their seed supply, a
situation resu. ting from the very high
standing which Vermont seed potatoes
have made both in experimental plots
and commercial fields in those regions
II. r. Talmage, one of the largest
and best known growers from River
head, Long Island, who has just made
his annual visit through the state for
the purpose above mentioned speaks
very encouragingly of the conditions
this year, especially in finding but
small percentage of Mossias disease.
He visited fields in the vicinity of Rut-
land, Brandon, Rochester, Randolph
and CIrinth, paying particular atten-
tion to the fields of the Randolph Po-
tato Growers association which aggre
gate nearly 100 acres.
Although a small percentage OF
fields we're necessarily eliminated
from further consideration, owing to
varietal mixture or disease, the in
spectors report the general condition
of the potatoes as good. Leaf roll ap-
pears to be the most prevalent dis
ease, and all growers, whether of in
spected fields or not, are advised to
eliminate weak plants from the plots
from which they expect to prune seed
stock. Such plants are likely to be
infected either with leaf roll or Mosaic
both of which are transmitted through
the seed,

New York, Aug. 1S.-The strike
Which for two days has paralyzed the
( subway and elevated system OF the
Interborough Rapid Transit company
in Manhattan. the Bronx, Brooklyn
and Queens was formally called off to
night by a. vote of the strikers to ac.
cept compromise offered them at
conference of city and state officials
this afternoon
| Under the terms of settlement the
men will receive wage increase of
25 per cent, and it is provided that
the question of whether they shall re
ceive the additional rs per cent. de;
manded by them shall be submitted
10 arbitration. Resumption of service
was ordered to take effect at mid
night tonight
The 25 per cent. wage increase was
made retroactive to August /, and
according to lnterborough officials
means an annual increase in the pay
roll of $5.0o0,0O0.
The agreement also provided for
reinstatement of all strikers with
their old seniority ratings and for
arbitration OF all other differences
which can not be adjusted by negoti-
ations. Settlement of the strike came
to the end of chaotic day in which
the lnterborough's 100000 daily
patrons plodded to work in driving
rain, through enoked thoroughfares,
rode jammad surface car lines, steam
trains and steamboats,, or committed
themselves, to the not too tender mer-
cies of mushroom auto bus lines.
Although the terms of settlement
were regarded as liberal by officials
of the Interborough and state and
city officials, the striking brotherhood
of Interborough Rapid Transit COM
pany employees did not accept them
readily. Exultant at their success in
completely tying up the lines for two
days, they openly rebelled when
their president, P, j. Connolly. pro-
posed acceptance, and ii was only af-
ter Connolly, NJ, ]. Mangan, secretary
and James M. Cochrane, sergeant-at-
arms, expostulated and pleaded with
them for more than half hour that
they consented Eventually, how
ever, the acceptance vote was made
unanimous. Connolly predicted that
a large part of the additional 25 per
cent. increase asked for would be
won by arbitration.
With the strike at an end District
Attorney Swami of New York county
and District Attorney Martin OF the
Bronx both announced that they
would continue investigations OF
charges made by Mayor Hylan that
the strike had been brought about by
collusion of lnterborough officials
with leaders of the company union
