The investigation which Major Gen

at Camp Dix to determine the source
If propaganda against the new army
promotion law has not been brought
officially to the attention Of the De-
oartment of the East, it was said yes

The understanding in local army cir

let circular be established.
Held Gross Breach of Rules
officers of the old line here expressed
;ie opinion yesterday that the propa-
lsnda is contrary to the best traditions
II the commissioned personnel, and
that it is gross violation of the rule
prohibiting officers from attempting to
influence army legislation.
Major General Robert Lee Billiard,
commanding the Department Of the
East, through his aid, said he had no
comment to make concerning the
anonymous pamphlet, widely distribu-
ted among officers, urging them to ap-
peal to their Congressional representa-
ives for the consideration of an amend
ment of the law.
Officers here said that the agitation
among clique which considers the
present seniority list rule ,,nfo;r bod
been brewing for some time The SEN
timent of those dissatisfied with the
rule was given expression not only in
the pamphlet, but in letters recently
printed in publication devoted to mill
tary affairs. it was pointed out
Not Majority Opinion
This sentiment did not by any means
represent the feeling of the great
majority. declared officers who yester-
day condemned the circular They said
ITS tone is almost identical with views
given in letters of Submerged" cap
talns appearing in military journal
One Of the disgruntled, captain Of
engineers, wrote:
Some 10000 odd Of the moe ma
ture officers who entered the service
under the act of June 4, 1920. have
been. to put it mildly, permanently
shelved. That great group of Young
men should sweep over 1000 men who
by age, experience and ability have for
three and one-half years held hieher
grades creditably, were it not tragic,
would be a colossal joke. The sub
merged 1000 are not all paragons, but
they delivered the goods continuously
Tor from two to four years before be-
ing engulfed."

Marshal Foch submitted the military
report, in which it was pointed out that
1t would be insufficient to fix the limits
of the new occupation area on strictly
lines, adding that the eco
nomic element was worthy Of equal
consideration. The Marshal is declared
to have held that the first advance by
French forces should be carried out
with columns imposing enough to deal
with any German reaction, although
that would be most improbable. He de-
clared this force could be considerably

Louis Loucheur, Minister Of Liberat-
ed Regions, submitted the economic re-
port. stating the penalties to be applied
should not be merely to exert pressure
upon the Germans and force them to
give in, but as means to bring in the
money due to France. He outlined a
system of payments Of a permanent
character which might be continued
after the occupation. It consisted es-
sentially in taxing Rhineland coal and
Industrial products exported from the
occupation area. He declared that, ac-
cording to careful calculations, these
payments should yield 5000, 0o0, 900
gold marks year, and said it would
be start for complete system of
payment which could be applied to the
whole of Germany, il the Germans
could not be induced to come to a mu-
tual agreement with the Entente.
All that remains is to perfect details
of plans 80 that the occupation may be
effected smoothly, 1t is declared.

knowledge of the relation of the set
ting and subsequent development OF
tubers of the potato may, to certain
extent, be put to practical use.
Tuber formation, it was found, be-
gins in general at about the end OF
the period of flower bud Development,
although this is not in all cases an ex-
act criterion. Experiments showed
that the number, as well as the size,
Of potatoes in a hill increased for sew
eral weeks after the first potatoes
were large enough to dig. A small in
crease in the weight of tubers was
found to occur even after the vines
had been killed by frost. The max
imum rate of growth of the tubers
was found to occur about the last OF
August or first of September, which
was approximately 80 days after plant
ing.
An interesting development of the
experiments was that the number and
weight of tubers per hill were found
to be influenced by the size and the
kind of seed planted. Whole potatoes
used as seed yielded heavier than
half potatoes, and these more than
quarters, and the larger the seed piece
the greater the yield per hill. A whole
potato used as seed yielded more
than a half or quarter potato of equal
weight.
The experiments showed that appar-
emily light soils are better for potatoes
than heavy soils. The lowest produc-
tion of tubers, with respect to both
number and weight per hill, was on
the heaviest soil; the highest numbers
and yields we're produced on the light
est soil. The department thinks it pos
sible, however, that these results
might be modified somewhat under
different climatic conditions.
Two-year tests with irrigation in
dictate that the early application of
water before tuber formation had

POTATO FACTS
How do potatoes grow?

How do potatoes grow?
Why do some vines produce many
tubers and others only few?
Do big seed pieces produce better
potatoes than small pieces?
When does the tuber begin to form !?
When does moisture have the most
effect on the production of potatoes?
What is the relation of soil to potato
production?
These are a few among many ques-
tions which have been asked about
the growth and yield of one of Ameri-
cas- largest and most distinctive crops,
and which former observers have been
able to answer only incompletely. The
Bureau of Plant Industry, United
States Department of Agriculture, has
conducted a series of experiments in
potato growth, the results of which
are published in Department Bulletin

started resulted in an increase in the
number of tubers, as well as in the
weight per hill. Late irrigation ac-
tually increased the weight but made
little difference in the number of
tubers per hill The irrigation exper-
iments were not carried to final con-
clusion, but indicate that each appli-
cation of water at almost any period
in the growth of the plant, provided
excessive quantities are not used, may
be expected to produce an increase in
the weight of the crop, but that little
or no increase in the number of tubers
is likely to result from irrigation after
tuber formation is well started.

FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 80, 1921

Eagle River owes it to itself to ratify by vote
at the special election to be held the action taken
to provide for the laying~o water main from
Main street west on the county road and thence
onto the premises Of the Wis., Mich. Lbr. Go. 1t
is debt long owed to the residents OF that street
in the matter furnishing adequate fire protection,
especially as the taxpayers there have been pay
ing toward the protection given other portions OF
town. 1t is debt owed to the mill company that
has invested large amount in town, and every
one knows that they were guaranteed such pro-
lection in locating here and which they are justly
entitled to request or even demand. The fact
that it means a slightly increased tax rate for
few years is no argument whatever as compared
with the necessity of doing justice in these cases.
The proposition of buying another generator
to connect with the water wheel, is only
what must be done to derive any value from the
wheel itself. 1t may not be required for power
purposes now except in time of emergency. 1t
bad fire should break out in town at any time and
something went wrong " it'll the equipment that
has run constantly for fifteen years, it would pay
for itself in very few minutes through the value
of property that would otherwise be lost. That
should be incentive enough for every ones sup
port.
Personally we believe that the village of
Eagle River would reap more practical benefit it
it's light and water plant was owned and operated
by some manufacturing plant that would utilize
all of the surplus power which would certainly
mean employment for much larger number OF
people than on the pay rolls now. There does
seem to be the view of many the great majority
plainly preferring things as they are the chief
benefit being an extremely low rate for light and
power However. the important issue at present
is to provide fire protection for those now with
out it and to increase the protection of the rest of
town.
