NICKEL FARE
 REAL ISSUE
 IN CAMPAIGN

New York, Oct. 25.-The nickel fare appears to be a very real issue in New York's stirring mayoralty cam paign, now drawing to a close.
 There are many other weighty is sues and all the candidates may not admit that the fare problem Is upper most but it is the subject most talk ed about just now.
 to travel to and from work each day on the subway, elevated or surface lines, the fare question hits the pock- etbook and accounts for the general interest.
 Mayor John F. Hylan, who is seek ing reelection on the Tammany ticket, long ago proclaimed himself the original champion of the fve-cent fare. He fought attempts of the va rious companies to raise the fare in war days and carried his fight to the legislature.
 His opponents, however. have gacity, and they too have pledged themselves to a nickel fare. But the Mayors supporters claimed the enc my stole his thunder and have charged that the promises of some of the candidates have been made for campaign purposes only.
 Additional interest was created re- ccntly when the Transit Commission, appointed by the Legislature to inves- tisate the traction lines, recommend ed that tlre f1ve-cent fare be retained for one year, pending final decision. The recommendation was made in a, preliminary report, and the mayors supporters promptly raised the cry that the report was issued to in 1uance votes. They. asserted that a loophole was left whereby the fare might eventually be increased. The Commission. in reply, denied that any ultlg4or motive was involved.
 The Commission, in it's report also recommended that the lines be muni- cipaly owned. This caused another hot rejoinedr from the mayors adher- ents, who said the mayor was an ad- vocate of city ownership.

GEORGE WASHINGTON

ETTASHINGTON was made Of the
w same clay as most Americans
who have won high leadership and,
like them, he cut his teeth on the
crust of poverty. Only four or five
Of our presidents came from poorer
homes than our first president and he
had less schooling than four-fifths Of
his successors. He was, in fact, the
only president i'm the first forty years
who was without college education.
Not starting to school until eight, he
had to leave at fourteen to 60 to work.
ThcncefOrth until the Revolution the
woods and fields were his only school,
room and life his only schOolmaster.
We never can truly understand this
man If we start with the mistaken idea
that he was the product of wealth and
aristocracy. His people really were

great need for the further
Standardization of our potato
crop and for greater effort in
the way Of disease control.
There probably never was a
more favorable time than the
present to take up the standard
ization Of the potato crop in a
community, as at present, good
seed can be obtained at a very
reasonable figure and it will not
mean a great deal Of expense on
the part Of each grower to get a
start in the variety adopted as
standard for the community.
The method of standardization
followed by the communities de
voting their attention to the
Standardization problem this
year is: Each man secures
enough good seed either certified
or recommended seed to plant a
plot large enough to raise his
seed for the next year Thus, at
a very nominal expense to each
grower the varieties Of potatoes
grown in a community can be
changed from eight or nine var
ieties to one or two and instead
of marketing cars of potatoes
containing almost every variety
imaginable, straight variety cars
can be marketed which will
mean about ten cents per hun
dred to the grower. Several
communities in the county are
taking up this problem this year
but it is worthy of the consider
alton of more communities in
the county.
Probably the next most out
standing need in the potato cul-
ture in this county, is the need
for greater effort in disease con
troll, and one of the most effec-
tive methods of controlling and
combating potato diseases is by
means of the Potato Seed Plot.
Every Grower Should Maintain
4 Seed Plot.
by growing a potato seed
plot every year, the grower
can improve or at least maintain
the quality of his potatoes. The
grower should start his seed plot
with good seed, and where they
are taking up the standardl2a-
ton. the plot where the standard
variety Of potatoes is grown
