SEED TREATMENT FOR
SPUDs REQUIRES CARE

Several diseases of the potato are
carried on the seed. Careful selec-
ton and treatment of the seed will
therefore aid in prevnting ; loses.
Potatoes with diseased or rotten
spots or with brown ring about one
fourth of an inch inside theskin at
the stem end or with any other in
ternal discoloration should be dis
carded and only sound healthy tubers
used for seed.
Common scab and black scurf can
largely eliminated by seed treatment.
Soaking the tubers in solution made
by dissolving ounces of corrosive
sublimate in 80 gallons of water de
stroys the germs of both diseases
Or solution of one pint oe forma de
hyde in 80 gallons of water may be
used. This will control scab but is
not so effective for black scurf. The
latter disease does not thrive during
some seasons. at least in southern
Ohio. even when scurfed tubers are
planted. However, it is safer to treat
the seedi
The length of treatment usually
recommended is IL hours with cor
rosive sublimate and two hours with
formaldehyde. It has been found dur.
ing the last two years. however, that
soaking the seed for half an houl
and then covering them in a pile fo,
an hour or an hour and hall
gives practically as good results This
has not been tried carefully in Ohio.
The use of too strong a solution
or soaking for too long time il
dangerous since the "eyes" are like
ly to be killed. Treated seed pota
toes should be planted in soil whicl
has not been in potatoes for severa

GOOD STAND FOR CORN

Proper Grading and planting big
factor in corn yields.
In view Of the labor and food
shortage it is increasingly imnortant
that each acre of corn-Ohio's biggest
grain crop-should produce it's maxi

specialist at the Ohio State Univer-
sity. One Of the most important
factors is a good stand

will insure maximum production.
1t is almost impossible to secure 8

the seed is graded and unless the
planter is equipped with plates th3-

A small hand grader may be use:

orphans has not only reached oul
county but very soon all ex-servics
men who desire may put in their
applications.
This is due tn the oreanizing here
of the local Educational Service
Committee. from among our own
citizens. with whom the ex-servicC
men will have their dealings, al
though the scholarships are provided
and paid for by the Y. NJ. C. A
Educational Council.
The members Of this committed
are: DR.. c. f. Hartman, p r
Grl'ord Supt, s. Pi johnson
Ralph Compbell and S. r. Dunham
the Secretary.
The allotment for our county i:
$475,, being based as it is every
where, on population.
We have enough forward-lookine
ex-service men in the county who
want to improve their education, in

maintain high ideals, that a large
number may be expected to takt
advantage of this promising oppor
tunity. In addition to the subject!

WILL ESTABLISH
SCHOOL OF RELIGION

The Ohio School of RELIGION to
he affiliated with the Ohio State
University has been authorized by the
Neichborhood Pastors Association
and the various religious denomina-
tions. It's chief purpose will be TO
promote religious development
anrong the students and train them
to leadership in their respective
churches.
Management will be in the hands
of board of control composed of re-
presentatives of the cooperating
churches. There will he one member
appointed for everv 500 students of
the same denomination in the Uni
versity. The board will appoint a
director of the school. DR.. G. Avery
Neeld of Pittsburgh has been cor
sidered by the board and it is prob
able that he will be invited to be the
first professor at the school
The course will include Bible study
courses on the church and social in
stitutions, on religious education and
missions. The actual course of study
will be largely dependent on the teach
inp force which cen be obtained.
1t has been estimated that the ex-
penses for the coming wear will be
$75O0 IF this the churches will con-
tribute $25O0 and the remaining
$1,000 will be raised by individual
subscription.

A MESSAGE TO Full
TON CO. MOTHERS

There must be 1000 babies under
two years of age in Fulton County
Every one of these babies should
have thorough physical examina-
ton. For those who are in good
condition it will assist in remedy
ing, their physical defects.
Every mother should appreciate the
fact that no one but a physician is
capable of telling when a baby is
healthfully developed. Babies often
act normal and look well, and vel
have very serious defects, these
defects, if not remedied in baby
hood, will result in permanent trou-
bic that will be handicap all
through life.
Your family physician is capable
of making this examination, take
your baby to him and have him
1groint out any physical defects which
may exist.
Every mother bot only owes "a
personal duty to her baby. but she
owes a patriotic duty to the Coun-
try. To protect child life and re-
duce infant deaths is a greater nee
essity now than ever before Birth
IFtGSS dIS SIduidIly uC1ilIihS. HE
must be Offset by saving the lives
of more babies. By doing all you
can to protect your own baby, YOU
stimulate the sentiment for child
conservation in your community
and thus help others. Every mother
having her baby given a thorough
physical examination, learns much
that will assist her to keep the
baby well in the future. 1t is
therefore important that all babies
have this examination.
We used to reap with the poet:
"There is a reaper whose name is
Death,
And with his sickle keen,
He reaps the bearded grain at 3

And the flowers that GROW between.
1t was formally believed that g

could not be prevented That the

know that carelessness, improper

"flower" and that in most instances
he can be robbed of this harvest
by sensible care of the infant. viii

FULTON COUNTY STATISTICS
An Abstract Of Taxes Received and Expenditures Made
In Running the County Government in Full
ton County For the Year 1918, From
Report of State Statistician

The Tribune has just received a
copy of "Ohio Comparative Sta
tistics" covering the financial affairs
of the counties Of the State for the
year 1918. The distribution of
these reports is limited and we be-
lieve there are many of the Tri-
bune readers who are interested in
the business of our county govern
ment; in knowing what it costs and
what it accomplishes; therefore we
give herewith and abstract Of the
statistics concerning Fulton County:
The revenues for county purposes
come from the "Real and Personal
Property Tax" which is levied at a
Uniform late upon all property
within the county: The total amount
of taxes for county purposes in
Fulton County for the year 1918
was $216,065.25. Fulton is accredt-
ed with a population of $4,000; the
taxes uer-capita amounts to 1854.
The lowest per capita tax for county
purposes is credited to Noble county
and is $3.50 while the highest is
in Wood county where the tax

County Cost
Two of the main functions of
government enter into the conduct

INFLUENCE OF TRACTOR
ON Use OF HORSES

The number of horses displaced the
tractors IN the corn belt is largely
determined by the number it is nee
essary to keep for corn cultivation
and other work current at the same
tinra which the tractor can not do.
This is, perhaps, the most impor-
tant OF the facts brought out by an
investigation recently made by the
United States Department of Agri-
culture IN seven corn-belt States, re-
latlve to the influence of tractors
on the use of horses, the results of
which have been published in Farm
ers Bulletin 1898
The department has drawn on the
experience of 191 tractor owners, in
the preparation of this bulletin,
which is designed to enable the corn
belt farmer to answer for himself
the following questions.
For what operations can I use the
tractor?
In what operations will it displace
horses in whole or in part?
How many horses will it displace
on my farm?
1t was found that the number of
HoIoco dISpOSeu Ol ny ldIuSES Ill
question after buying tractors was
between two and three farm. The
average number of acres tillable by
horses was increased IL, and the
average size Of the farms by a total
of p acres. Several operators dis
placed horses entirely on plowing,
disking and narrowing. Few opera
tors allowed their horses to stand
idle while the tractor was in use
The horses remaining on these
farms are doing rs per cent of the
tractive work, and the tractor the
remainder.
The tractors were used for an aver
age of 20 10-hour days year on
the home farms, no records being
taken of custom work A three
plow tractor on these farms does
the work of 81 horses in plowing
disking, narrowing and harvesting.
The results of this study further
substantiate the conclusion that the
principal ADVANTAGE of a tractor lies
in its ability to do heavy work in a
shorter time than is possible with
horses.

output varies more nearly according
to the individual capacity of the
laborer. That is, each is more likely
to do his utmost, rather than an
average days work. regulated by
low standard.
Industrial Accidents: This phase
of the study is of particular interest.
Ordinarily accidents may be expected
to vary directly with speed of pro-
duction, owing to increased exposure
to risk. But when fatigue is taken
into consideration there is marked
modification of this rule When there
is a reduction of output due 70
fatigue there is a rise in the num-
ber of accidents; that is, in the last
hours of the 10 to IL hour day, IN
spite of employees slowing up in
work more accidents, occur. If for
any reason production is speeded up
in the last hours, when the labor
ers are fatigued, the rise in the
number of accidents rises so rapidly
as to leave no room to doubt that
the higher accident risk accompanies
the decline in working capacity of
the employe.
These conclusions are based on 80
careful a study by officers of the
U. S. Public Health Service and on
so large number of employees that
they may undoubtedly be applied by
industrial engineers generally.
The full report is contained in
Public Health Bulletin No. 106,
with is the first of series to be
published by the IT, S. Public Health
Service on the problems of indus
trial working capacity. In the two
hundred pages making up the pre-
sent report is presented wealth of
information which no industrial en-
gineer can afford to neglect. Ger
tainly if American industry is to
maintain its present leadership. it
will only be as the result of the ap-
plication of sound physiological
principles.

THE EIGHT HOUR DAY
Found Superior to The Ten or Twelve Hour Day In
Maintenance of Output, Conservation of
Time, Avoidance of Accidents
And General.

The eight hour day is not only
more efficient than the 10 hour day
in industrial plants, but is more
economical.
This is the conclusion reached by
the experts of the United States
Public Health Service after careful
detailed study of conditions and pro.
duction in standard factories of both
classes, which have been under way
since 1917.
The plants surveyed were selected
after great deal of care. Each is
modern factory, employing such a
large number of workers as to make
any conclusions reached apply to in
dustry in general. The other con-
sideration was that the machinery
manufactured product and processes
in the 10 hour plant should be suf.
ficlently similar to the eight houl
plant to make a fair comparison.
The advantages are all in favor
of eight hour days, or shifts, as
compared with the 10 hour day anc
relate to maintenance of output. tt

Here are the main conclusions
summarized:
Maintenance of output. The out
standing feature of the eight hou1
day is steady maintenance of out
put. The outstanding feature Of
the 10 hour system is the decline Of
output.
Lost Time: Under the eight houl
system work with almost full power
begins and ends approximately OF
schedule and lost time is reduced t.
minimum. Under the 10 houl
system work ceases regularly before
the end of the spell and lost time
is frequent.
Stereotyped Output: Under the II
hour system the laborers seem Il
artifcially restrict their efforts an.
to keep pace with the less efficien
workers.

JUNIOR SENIOR BANQUET !

No doubt the most unique and the
most delightful party of the year was
given Friday night, May 7th at the
Wanseon High School It was the
annual Junior-Senior banquet given
by the class of 1921 in honor of this
years graduating class. This ban
quet was given as a Japanese
party. The banquet which the
mothers of the Juniors prepared was
lovely and the banquet hall was
filed with cherry blossoms overhang-
ing the Japanese lanterns.
l., The lower hall was used for
dancing and it was charming with
its two huge archways covering with
cherry blossoms and its fountain with
gold fish and frogs. Then the Jap
garden served as a tea garden dur.
ing the evening and between dances
Here amid the incense and flowers
tea and cakes were served.
A five piece orchestra furnished
music during the entire event. Ter
Junior girls dressed as japanese en-
tertained the guests with little act
of sonp and dances.
All those fortunate enough to at
tend this party, including all mem
bers of the Wauseon Board of Edu
cation and their wives, the faculty
of the Wauseon High School, the
classes of 1920 and 1921, deeply ep
preciate the work done by the Junior
mothers in their willingness anC
skill in preparing the banquet. Tht
Juniors should also be congratulated
for their work and their ability t.
offer such an artistic and extremely
charming party to the class of 1920

STATEMENT OF FACTS

Our attention has been called to
certain reports that have been and
are still being circulated to the effect
that a government agent secured
evidence of profteering in our store
and caused the arrest of the manager
Mr.. Otto Funkhouser, on such
charge in connection with the sale
of shoes.
We did not hear of these reports
until about three days after the
date on which the incident reported
was alleged to have taken place.
We wish to state that the report
referred to above is absolutely false
and has no foundation whatever in
fact. We have no knowledge that
our store has been visited by govern
ment agents on the date reported or
at any other date; nor have we re-
ceived notice in any way that any
government agent has visited this
store at any time.
We invite and welcome investiga-
ton of our business methods and in
spection and comparison of our stocks
and prices by any one at any time,
we are open to inspection by authoriz-
ed agents of the State or Federal
government at any time.
We believe the reports referred to
have been willfully and maliciCusly
circulated for the purpose of injur-
ing the business and reputation of
i this firm.

WOMEN RULE
IN VIENNA

VIENNA-The women's association
which is responsible for correct distri-
button of food in this starving capi-
tai, is the only civil body which en-
joys any real prestige. The "Frauen
Hilfsakton," aid societies which were
well organized, did effective work
when there were supplies to distribute
but after the war there was a great
shortage and it's work was virtually
nothing. Then came supplies from
the American Red Cross and the or
ganization is actively experimenting
their distribution.
