Control 10 Difficult.

So far as Is known the sweet potato
weeyll has no natural enemies. Its
control would he comparatively SIN
pie through extensive quantities In the
producing sections were It not that the
pest also breeds on morning glory and
blndwepd. Control measures include
the cleaning up Of all old sweet potato
fields by destroying all the vines,
stems, tubers and other remnants.
Then the ground should be deeply
plowed aud kept free from volunteer
sweet potato and morning glory vines.
All sweet potatoes should be gath
cred and divided In the field into
three lots: "a weevll-free tubers, (2)
roots slightly Infested for fumlgutlon,

quantity Of tobacco Europe will he

considerable increase over the 1918
r in the flue-cured section would
be followed by a decline in market
prices.
The largest crop OF tobacco the
country has ever produced is being
marketed, and while prevailing mar
ket prices are very high for some %
the leading types, such abnormal
prices are said to be due primarily TO
war conditions. The department
points out that the country has grown
three large crops Of tobacco In sue
c%csslon, with no decided shortage IN
production OF any OF the leading
types.
As compared with pre-war figures,
exports OF leaf tobacco were some
whit above normal in 1916, much he
low normal la 1917, and stlll slightly
below the average in 1918, average eN-
ports for these three years being ap-
proxlmntely 3SO.OOO.OOO pounds. ms

The quantity Of leaf tobacco %nnnuul-
~ consumed In domestic manufacture
during the last three years shows nm
increase OF about 1O0,OO0,000 pounds
over the preceding period, due largely
to 4 decided progressive Increase in
the manufacture of cigarettes. How.
ever, present indications are that no
more tobacco was consumed In do
nestle manufacture In 1918 than In
the preceding year. Stocks of leaf
tobacco In the hands of dealers and
manufacturers as or january | are re-
ported ms about 1925 900 pounds

Ing a large surplus over pre-war cx

He Now Knows He
Made A Mistake
PORTLAND, Ore, Sept. 1s.-

PORTLAND, Ore, Sept. 16.-
Deputy Sheriff Schrimer is expected
to arrive here today from Butte,
Mont, with Mrs. Stella DeSnell, wife
of a prominent Butte architect, who
was arrested in her palatial home in
the Montana city last week.
Mrs. DeSnell will be tried here
soon on a charge Of polygamy. She
was also indicted by Portland
grand jury several months ago on a
charge of larceny.
The arrest of the woman at Butte
was the elimination of a search
which was instituted for her last
March when she, under the name of
Mrs. e. M. Overman, is alleged to
have married Anthony Dolecki in
Portland. The groom claimed his
bride decamped the day following
the ceremony with $3.50 of his money,
5000 in thrift stamps, 5000 in min
ing stocks and considerable jewelry'
which she had procured and charged
to Doleck at Portland stores.
Dolecki told the police he mar
ried the Butte woman following a
correspondence Of six months which
resulted from his reading of an "ad'
in Portland newspaper.
Dolecki claimed that Mrs. De-
Smell, or Overman, was "fond of his
home" for only one day; that when
she abandoned him she left him the
following note: Remember, love
you, but am afraid, o, so afraid, we
have made mistake. So, goodbye" /"
Doleckl says he knows he made a
mistake. =
