Among some Of the things ac.
credited to Mr. Colby was the state
ment that the adoption of the prohi
b.tion and suffrage amendments was
due to the "weaklings on Capitol Hill"
Mr.. Colby's statement says 1.-THE re.

the tennessee Legislature who called
upon me are utterly untrue. It is
difficult for me to believe these gen.

Thsy called upon me twice. They are
members of the lower house of the
legislature who were among the group
.of legislators who fled to Alabama in
order to prevent by their absence the
consideration OF the suffrage amend
ment. They requested me to issue a
statement naming the papers that
had been sent from Tennessee to the
state Department and filed. protesting
that the people of Tennessee were
real in the dark as to what actually
had happened.
On the occasion of their first call

DELAY POTATO DIGGING
In Order to Reduce late Blight Rot
Due to Storage.

In state where the Irish potato foil
age has been badly attacked by the
late hight disease and rot is threat
ened, it is best to delay digging until
I0vdays or longer after the tops are
fully dead, preferably until after a
frost has killed the vines, say special
lists of the bureau Of plant industry
United States Department of agricul
ture. Earlier digging will result in
more field tuber infection and subse-
quently development of rot in the
cellar Experiments have shown that
the smallest percentage OF tuber rot
in storage follows the practice of de-
layed digging.
Late blight has been more or less
general and severe this season in the
New England states. New York.
Pennsylvania, Ohio, northern New
Jersey western Maryland and West
Wrginia, and was especially prevail
emit ons acccuiid OF the coolt iraihy
weather which prevailed in these
states throughout the latter part Of
July and most Of August. In some
instances, the onset of dry weather
the lSst of August has checked ssthe
disease.
TubeT infection takes place chiefly
y in the field when the potatoes are
dug too soon after the tops die down
with the disease and While the fun
gus is yet al!ves BY delaying the
digging until the tops have been
dead seine time or until freeze kills
the stems, the fungus also is killed
to large extent and hence little or
nor new tuber infection takes place.
The large commercial grower must
consider his labor supply in relation
to the time available for digging be-
fore the potatoes will be frozen in
the ground and delay his digging as
much as consistent with getting the
crop out before frost injury. In the
most northern sections not as much
delay can be practiced as in states
farther south. 1t is the farm-home
supply which can be dug in few
days, where the greatest advantage
can be taken of this means of reduc

political effect in Connecticut and
Maryland and might cause either one
of these States to vote differently on
the subject of ratification II they but
realized that the action IN Tennessee
was overshadowed by doubt as to its
true effect In other words. they
wished to impress upon Connecticut
that its action was not perfunctory
and merely expressive of a friendly
sentiment to equal suffrage, but in
view of the uncertainties which they
wished to be given Official emphasis
with regard to Tenn sssee's action that
it might be decisive as to the ratifi-
cation.
The Tennessee legislators went so
far as to submit to me statement
which met their specifications, with the
request that | should issue it. 1t was
obviously an improper thing for me
to do and amounted to the nse Of the
State Department for antisuffrage
electloneering. IT required but t'ttle
reflection for me to perceive this. and
