This Much Annually Re-
suit of Disease
BULLETIN ISSUED
BY DIR. T. F. MANNS
Special to The Evening Journal.

Special to The Evening Journal.
NEWARK, Aug. I. - Delaware
sweet potato growers are losing an
nually from field and storage diseases
100000. This estimate is made by
DR.. Thomas f. Manns, plant pathol-
ogist at the University of Delaware,
in a bulletin on "Sweet Potato Stor-
age" which he has just issued.
According to DR.. Manns. the crop
has been averaging from 6OO.O 900 to
100000 bushels annually. with an
average yield an acre, prior to the
war. OF 100 bushels. The crop of
1913, he joints out, was estimated at
675. 900 bushels. with an average
yield Of 1876 bushels per acre
He places the losses indicated
above under two heads: 1. Reduction
in crop yields through diseases car
ried TO the field on slips from the
seed bed, or from infection already
in the field; ?. Losses while in
storage, or subsequent thereto.
Under the first head. Dr. Manns
declares, "The yield is reduced from
these factors fully 10 per centum on
an average, equalling a loss approx
imately of $4,000. The various dis
eases active in causing this ldas are
black rot, stem rot, or vine wilt, soil
rot, also known as pit or pox' white
rust, sometimes enormously account
ed for as fertilizer injury or sup
posedly improper setting Of slips
soft rot. and all other losses from
disease prior to the roots beinr
placed in storage"
Secondarily, DIR. Manns SAYS,
THE losses in storage or subsequent.
ly. amount to an average. about q
per centum of the crop. approx
imating $4,000. This loss is not I,

THE CONFERENCE AGREEMENT.

As was expected the conferees who were given the differences between the peace resolutions adopted by the senate and house to wrestle with have come to Rn agreement. The two houses were not so far apart. They were committed to the ending of the state of war by means of C peace resolution but they did not agree as to the form 1t should take. The Knox resolution in the senate had undergone changes and yet 1t was believed that it called for action that would reflect upon the country through the resembling of resolutions adopted in the declaration of war. It may be regarded only as a tech hical point but 1t was enough to carry weight in the house where the Porter resolution simply called for the ending of the state of war.
 By the action, of the. conferees it is the house form that is approved with such safeguards as were included in the sen ate resolution for the protection of American rights. and property, and from the attitude which has beeen disclosed in both branches and the known view of the president there is little reason to be- Heve but what there will be a prompt confirmation of the conference report.
 Those who will oppose it will simply he made up of those among the number who had fought it before but were not able to prevent the respective resolutions from passing in both houses. If they were not able to marshal strength enough to defeat a resolution upon first presen- . tation there is slight possibility that they will be able to do anything serious in ubstructing a conference report.
 A demand for the actual termination Of the war with Germany has long pre- vailed. Hostilities were stopped by the nrmistice and 1t is under the terms of that peace has prevailed between the countries since November 1918. Presi dent Harding has declared that he woult Hgn peace resolution when f. was presented to him by congress Tha, he will have that opportunity and will d, his part within few days seems highl, probable. It Is action that the countr, Ewaits.

claimed as outlaws, and when taken with arms were ordered to be shot within 24 hours. Finally Marshal Bazaine was or dered to advance no more funds to the emperor. Troops began to abandon Max imilian and return home, and he offered to resign. His wife Charlotte, offered to go abroad to save his crown. ThIs mission was unsuccessful and the queen was not permitted to return to Mexico.
 In January, 1887, the French Emperor informed Maximilian that his failure to pay the annual sum of 25,000 francs due to France, under their agreement, re- leased the French government from all obligations. The withdrawal of the for ,eign forces gave a new impetus to the national war in Mexico.
 Louis Napoleons emissaries advised Maximiian to abdicate the crown and to lE:-ve the country with the French. This his friends advised him not to do, and with a dwindling army of 5000 and al- most TO funds, MaXimilian faced the ad- vancing armies of the patriots. At Quer- etaro Maximilian and his followers were | reduced to the last pinch. He made his last stand and Cost and on June 13. 1887 he was brought up for trial before 8 military court and was condemned to death as an outlaw taken in arms.

"DO IT NOWV

It is one thing to talk economy but another thing to act in such way as to bring it about. Somehow it seems to be much easier to arrange for the spending of large sums, regardless of how they must be obtained than it is to say no, ven when the refusal to spend means no hardship. That is at least the in- pression that is gained from the use of government funds in the long run.
 But from the manner in which the country has been spending money for Eeveral years, the indebtedness which ex- ists and the loud, long vail for "a cutting of taxes it becomes evident that there must be cutting of expenditures, that economy must be practiced and not sim ply talked. It means hard work and it calls for courage but there is an insistent demand for it that is bound to override the efforts that are put forth in behalf Of all kinds of appropriations whether they are necessary or worthy.
 And if we are to judge by the steps that have already been taken. the exten- sive slicing that has been done in the estimates as presented to congress, the adoption of the budget system to put the government on business basis and the steps that are being taken to put that Hystem into operation, it can be readily seen that economy is a watchword that Is going 10 be followed and mean some hing.
 When Chief Dawes of the budget bu- eau declares to the bureau heads that is the desire of the president that there be an elimination of waste in depart mental expenditures and that such a pol- ley be introduced now rather than af- fer the budget has been presented it has inc right sort of a ring. There is no good reason why waste and needless ex. penditures should be permitted to go on Just because there is no budget to gov. ern the appropriations of the various department for the present fiscal year Wherever it Is possible to curtail and rave government funds without Inter. iering with government 1t should be dons and department and bureau heads should De eager to give that cooperation whicf Chief Dawes expects of them. It Is q move that the country will applaud.
