What Happened in Interim.
When the president left Paris for
America ON Feb. 18th. the great
problem OF the moment was the re-
newal OF the armistice terms with
Germany. which expired Feb 18th.
Now. the French were always more
interested and concerned in military
terms than any other nation. The
war was on French soil and the
commander-in- chief was a French
man Their effort was always 70

tice. and 80 keep the power strongly

Acts Quickly and ,Auda clOusIy.
When Pres't Wilson found out
what the situation really was he act
ed with stunning directness and au-
dacity ON March 18th, Just "A
hours after he set foot IN Paris. he
authorized the press bureau of the
peace conference. Of which I was
director, to issue AT once the fol-
lowing statement:
The president said today that the
decision made at the peace confer
ence i'm its plenary session Jan 25,
1919. 10 the effect that the estab-
lishment Of a League OF Nations
should be made an integral par OF
the treaty Of peace is OF final force
and that there is no basis whatever
for the reports that a change in this
decision was contemplated"

Excites New Criticism.
Within a few days there was "A
wave Of criticism OF Wilson which
made all former attacks look pale
by comparison.

Of the most serious of potato diseases
and If it should become introduced

loss would result, according to c. W,

lana State University. The disease
attacks the eyes Of the potatoes AMI
covers them with repulsiye, warty
growths, making them absolutely
worthless.
On account of the seriousness Of
the disease, the United States De.
partment of Agriculture is making a
survey Of the whole country in order
to find out just where the disease is
at present. Mr.. E. V. Hollis of the
Department has been detailed to
Louisiana and will spend about siA
weeks in the various parts Of the
state, visiting the potato districts
sM also the backyard gardens In the
cities and towns. As it will be I'm.
possible for Mr.. Ellis to visit the
whole state in the time allotted him.
It is requested that all potato trou-
bles be brought to the attention Of

specimens be sent to the Department

fore Samples Arc

There is a Widespread belief among
farmers that the chemical analysis Of
a soil will show exactly the kind and
amount Of fertilizer II requires in order
to produce maximum crops. Expert
ence has shown, however, that this is
by no means true and that, In fact, the
analysis Of a single, isolated soil sam
pie is of very little value indeed, &C
cording to s. S. Walker, soil chemist,
Experiment Station, Louisiana State
University. Moreover, it the samples
are not so taken as to represent the
average soil Of the field, the analysis
is likely to be misleading and there
fore worse than useless, he says,
Mr.. Walker suggests that a much
more effective way to solve soil chem
ical problems is to make a systemati:
study of the various soil types, supple.
menting the chemical analyses with
actual field tests to determine which
fertilizers give the best results on each
type of soil The Experiment Station
Is now conducting careful survey Of
the soils of Louisiana in order to learn
the distribution and composition of the
different soil types. The work will be
followed up with field tests.
1t may be that the general type to
which soil belongs has already been
analysed. On the other hand, an anal.
ysis of certain soil may make q val.
liable addition to tie data already OBJ
tanned. AT any rate, samples should
not be sent for analysis without first
writing to the Station, giving de-
scription Of the location and charac.
ter Of the land and asking for instruc.
lions. Such letters should be addressed
to Soil Laboratory, Experiment Sta.
ton, Louisiana State University, Baton
