INOcULATED SULPHUR

and the top parts OF the potatoes i'm
mediately under the surface are also
attacked severely. Considerable de-
crease in the yield often results from
this cause.
Perhaps the most serious losses are
experienced when sweet potatoes in
fected with seurf are stored. Il has
been shown that diseased potatoes
lose moisture very much more rapidly
than healthy ones. The loss in weight
is apparently in direct proportion to
the degree OF injection.
The experience OF a number of prac-
tical growers as well as the results
OF tests conducted by the Agricultural
Experiment Station shows that scurf
can be effectively and economically
controlled through the use OF Inoeu-
lated Sulphur. The principle employ
ed is that sulphur applied 10 soils has
a tendency TO increase the acidity.
One OF the most important facts
from the practical standpoint IS that
there is no particular advantage in
using large quantities. Almost as
good control was effected with two
hundred pounds per acre as with
twelve hundred. This is quite impor-
tant, because any control measure to
find wide application must be rela-
lively inexpensive, and two hundred
to three hundred pounds of Inoculated
Sulphur is not adding greatly to the
total cost of growing an acre of sweet
p%Otatoes.

TIME IS NOT RIPE FOR LEGISLATION ON
 THE FUNDING LAW

WASHINGTON, Jan. 13.-That the time is not opportune for asking Congress to pass an amendment to the laws governing the refunding of debts, was decided yesterday by President Harding in conference with Republican leads in the House. Ow- ing to the difficulty imposed by the present Congressional laws, which re- quire that tentative plans for settle ment of the debts of foreign nations to the United States be submitted first to Congress, the Administration had proposed a measure for making the provisions more liberal, That 1t would be difficult to get the legis- lation before Congress at this time, however, was the concensus of opinion.

CHICAGO, Jan. 13.-A crucial test of the American system of govern ment and society is coming sooner or later in the clash between the doctrine of individual liberty and the philosophy of collectivism.

PULP PROJECT IS PLANNED
 FOR SEWARD

SEATTLE, Jan. 13.-Information received here today from the East indicates that Frank Ballaine, the Seward real estate owner, and min ing promoter, has succeeded in inter- esting capital in the erection Of paper and pulp mill at Seward, Alaska. and that the engineers for the concern will start North in few days to commence preliminary work on the big project,
 While no mention is made of the associates of MT. Ballaine, they are known to be one of the foremost paper concerns of the East with ample capital to develop the enter prise.
 Power for the project will be de- veloped at kenai Lake about IS miles north of Seward, transmission lines carrying the huge voltage to the mills at Seward. It is the in tention of the company to manu- fracture finished paper at the mills instead of shipping the raw pulp to outside mills to be converted into paper.
 The proposition calls for the ex- penditure of several million dollars, but the large quantities of spruce available gives assurance of steady supply of timber for years to come.
 This will be the farthest north mill in Alaska and paper manufactur- CTS will view with interest the work ings of the plant.
 Word was received in Seward some time ago of the success of MT. Bal laine's plans, but nothing was said about the matter at the time, as it was desirous of ascertaining the au- thenticity of the reports. It is a matter of congratulation that he has been successful, as it means a large and increasing paroll for the city.
