and vegetables and a big tonnage OF
cotton we're lost to American farmers
last year by plant diseases, according
to figures compiled by the plant dis
ease survey of the Department OF Ag-

statistics indicate that lack OF prompt
application of known measures OF con-
trol was largely the cause OF the loss.
The plant disease survey estimated
the losses at 112, 100000 bushels OF
wheat. 50,O0O,0OO bushels of oats, So

croesus' Immense Wealth.

Crsesus was king Of Lydia In the
middle of the sixth century before
Christ, and, while most Of our men OF
affiuence began in comparative power
ty, he inherited riches gathered by a
long line Of wealthy ancestors, each
Of whom combined in his own person
financier, mopopOlist and king.
Croesus. who inherited a fortune
steadily increasing through many gen
eratiOns, had control Of wide realms
Of agriculture. rich mines and the
commerce OF wealthy n populous
nations. If the monopoly of a single
industry can now produce hundreds
of millions in n single generation.
what could measure the wealth com
ing from a monopoly OF many indus

TOCHASE WARTS

WASHINGTON. D. C, March S.
Mystic rites of childhood for wart
removal, involving shivery midnight
visits to lonesome, pook-infested
graveyards. the use of a rabbits left
hind foot with proper incantations,
and the like, may yet be necessary
to chase warts off potatoes.
At least the department of agri
culture has not so far found other
means to do the job, Its official
witches have steamed, boiled dosed
and otherwise assailed the wart with
inconclusive results, according to a
report just published They have
not given up, however, and still hope
to eradicate the plant disease from
the country
Potato wart infection is now limit
I'd to small area in Pennsylvania,
due to a 1912 Importation of po-
tatoes which later proved to be un-
desirable aliens. The experts have
tried all sorts of chemical treatment
Of the soil and even steamed the
ground before planting, but without
complete success.

MEXICO CITY, March S.--An in
aux Of American labor to Mexico,
to the oil regions, is
causing much concern to govern
ment officials who are receiving
complaints daily from Mexican
workmen's organizations that the
presence of the foreigners is work
ing a hardship on native labor.
1t is asserted that unemployment
in the United States has caused
thousands OF Mexicans to return to
the republic, many Of them in des-
titute circumstances Arriving here
they find large numbers Of Ameri-
cans holding the Jobs which, they
declare, rightfully belong to them.
Moreover, in the oil fields Ameri-
can labor has practically supplanted
native workmen and the charge has
been made publicly by labor repre-
sentatives that the Americans in
these regions are fully armed and
are on war basis" for the osten-
slble purpose OF protecting foreign

connection is that these workmen
