FEDERAL BOARD OF
THE POTATO WART
West Virginian Is Eminent
Authority.

DR.. n. ]. Giddings, the West Vir'
ginia University plant pathologist and
acting dean Of the college of agri-
culture, has returned from Washing
ton where he appeared before the
federal horticultural board to dis
cuss the potato wart on which sub
ject he is an authority. AS the re-
suit of his Investigations Of the po.
tato wart in West Virginia and
neighboring states for several years,
he reports that there is no change
in the quarantine on potatoes from
certain sections of Tucker and Ran
dolph counties where the potato wart
is prevalent, but that this quarar.
tine fortunately does rot affect the
more important potato sections Of
Randolph county, which is one of
West Virginia's principal producing
counties
The chief topic brought before the
Washington conference was the pc
ttion Of Ireland to remove the quar-.
antine on potatoes from that coun.
try, in which the potato wart has
been known for number of years.
No definite action Of the board has
been announced so far, the recent
meeting being largely devoted to the
gathering Of evidence on the potato
situation in this country and Eu

POTOMAC BRIDGES
SOON TO Be FREE
OF TOLL CHARGE
States Will Buy Bridges Over
The River.

Hagerstown, Sept. 5.--Toll bridges
between Maryland and West Virginia
will soon be thing OF the past. &C.
cording to John N. Mackall, chair
man of the State Roads Commission
who in an address in Hagerstown de-
Ciared that within 90 days the bridges
spanning the Potomac at Harpers
Ferry, Shepherdstown, Williamsport
and Hancock will be free
According to Mr.. Mackall money
appropriated for the purchase by
both Maryland and West Virginia Is
available and the bridges will be
free from toll as soon as terms are
reached with the various companies
owning the bridges.
The freeing Of these bridges Is
the outcome Of movement launch
ed in 1918 by local man, Leon r.
Yourtee, then a member of the
House of Delegates from Washing
ton county. The idea was conceived
by Mr.. Yourtee. who at the 1918 SEES
sion OF the Maryland legislature, pre-
sented n resolution to that body sug-
costing that commission from the
two states, Maryland and West Vir-
ginia, be appointed to investigate
the matter and report back at the
next session. The resolution, which
was passed, requested the Governor
OF Maryland to transmit to the Gov
ernor OF West Virginia this resolu-
ton.
Then in 1919, the West Virginia
legislature concurred in tho action

of the legislature of Maryland and
commission was appointed which
met with the one named for this
state, The first meeting was held
in Hagerstown in 1919.
At the 1920 session of the Mary
land legislature. Maryland's share in
the purchase of the bridges. part OF
which were located in Maryland and
the other part in West Virginia was
provided for in the state budget. The
followSg year the West Virginia
Legislature appropriated it's share.
Bonds were recently issu~l by
West Virginia, while the Maryland
bonds for the purchase of the bridges
were issued on August 10, 1922.
Several years ago the State roads
commission sent their engineers to
inspect these bridges and to set a
value on them. 1t is understood that
word has come to the owners OF
tho four bridges from the State
Roads Commission for those corpo-
raions to- fix their price.

1920, 1,79i persons were killed and
SOY injured; of the latter lilo died
later.
There arc two ways Of reducing
or preventing such accidents. The
first is the elimination of crossings.
This is impossible. There are about
$4,000 highway crossings in the
United States, the elimination of
which would cost more than $l2,-
100000.
Grade crossings are being abol-
ished as fast as possible but it
will take, at the present rate, more
than 900 years to dispose OF all
crossings if no more are added.
The American Railway Associa-
ton and the railroads have decided
that the solution of the problem can
be found in public education.
The railroads, since the tern1ina-
ton of Federal control, have been
carrying on an intensive educational
campaign to reduce accidents among
their employees. In 1921 there was
a reduction of % per cent. in fatal
tiles and az per cent. in injuries
among train and engine men, COM
pared with the record of 1916. II
people can be educated to be care
full, care can become habit.

The necessity OF a mail door slot

Maryland has been found the
state which offers the most dan
ger, as the potato wart there has
been found in sections very close
to the large commercial fields. At
the conference II was agreed that
only immune varieties of potatoes
should be planted. This permit sys-
tenn as to the planting of disease
resisting varieties Of potatoes has
been followed in West Virginia for
two or three years. The potato wart
situation in this state is now in very
satisfactory shape due to the vigil
ance of the state authorities.

IMPORTANT and widespread re-
suits all over America are
expected as an outcome OF the
educational campaign now under
way to make the public more care
full on abroad grade crossings.
On the first of June under the direc-
ton of the American Railway AS
sociation in cooperation with all the
railroads in the country the slogan
Gross Crossings Cautiously" be-
gan TO make its appearance from
coast to coast in places where the
most people would be likely to
see it.
The campaign will continue to
Sept. 80. Railroad men are hopeful
that the constantly reiterated warm
ing to Gross Crossings Cautiously"
and the arresting picture poster
reproduced above-that has been
distributed all over the country to
the number of 100000 will teach
lasting lesson.
In 1920 about Is per cent. of
grade crossing accidents involved
automobiles. In 80 years the Ma
TONS population has increased 68
per cent. Crossing accidents have
increased 345 per cent. in fatal and
652 per cent. in injury cases. In
