Ions of water at temperature of 118
degrees to 122 degrees F. Remove
tubers from solution, drain liquid in
to treating tank, set tubers aside in
pile and cover with blanket or cam
vas for one hour. This method has
been devised and recommended in
Iowa. Formaldehyde is not as eff
cient as corrosive sublimate, but it is
cheaper, and it is harmless to metal
tanks and stock.
Corrosive sublimate, also called
mercuric chloride, dissolved at the
rate of l part to 1000, by weight, in
water is more effective than the for
maldehyde solution but has the draw
back of being very poisonous. The
sublimate can be procured either in
tablet form or in bluk. Soak the I'M.
cut potatoes 80 minutes to 2 hours,
depending on their condition and the
time Of year. Unsprouted seed with
small amount Of black scurf or scab,
soak 80 minutes to hours; liz
hours is recommended. Unsprouted
seed with large amount of black
scurf or scab, select best and soak 2
hours. Sprouted seed showing small
amount Of black scurf or scab, soak
30 minutes Sprouted seed showing
large amount Of black scrub or scab,
discard and obtain healthy seed, pre-
ferably Wisconsin certified. This
solution decreases in strength with
use. To correct this add Y ounce Of

ON March g. the committee of engi-
" uecrs. appointed 10y the city council
10 investigate the Skaglt, will get under
way.
The committee was named and $4,000
to pay It's expenses was appropriated on
February 9 over the mayors veto.
II is expected 10 go thoroly into Skaglt
affairs; to determine the order of dcvel-
opmeut on the future Skaglt units from
an engineering standpoint; 70 estimate
growth of the demand for power that will
be necessary: 90 ADVISE the city what
steps il will be necessary for the city TO
take. and when 10 meet that demand. In
short, the committee is TO survey and out
line the entire Skagit project present and
future, from AN engineering standpoint,
so that we may know just where we
stand.
Another committee will be appointed
soon To outline the distribution system
within the city.
There have been dozens of inyeStiga-
tons in Seattle within the past few years
As the table in the next column shows,
the city has spent more than $4,000 on
surveys.
Worth while? Many Of them were.
Some were useless.
In the operation of government. fire.
quent Investigations are necessary as a
check on the expenditure of the peoples
money for the information of the citizens.
Doubtless this expenditure of $4,000 in
"checkups' has saved millions that other
wise might have been squandered.
But such Investigations are worth while
only when they are unbiased, fearless re-
ports written by unbiased and uncon-
trolled persons A surveyor who starts
out with his mind already made up as TO
the desired contents of the report he is
to make will turn in n report that is
worse than useless to the public.
Efforts will be made. no doubt, TO in
fluence the work of these commissioners:
Maj Joseph JACOBS, chairman; w. Ches-
ter Morse and Stirling B. Hill.
Colored reports have been made by
powerful interests in the past, tending to
prove that municipal ownership, rs II eN-
lists in the Skagit. is a failure.
The people of Seattle have confidence
in this committee. They believe the mem
bers will do all that is humanity possible
to give the citizens what they have hired
them TO do. And this what they want:
No interference either from private
power interests or the advocates of
municipal ownership.
An exhaustive survey, made on the
ground.
An unbiased report, with lucid, plainly.
written recommendations.
Give us this, Messrs. Engineers. and
the $4,000 appropriated for you will not
have been spent in vain.

Crooks by Radio

DEPARTMENT of interior announces
~ it is using radio to bring about the
arrest of an imposter now operating in
Ohio. WIKI, at Cleveland, and WLW,
Cincinnati, have been asked to broadcast
his description and warnings against his
operations.
The fraud is said to represent himself
as an eye specialist employed by the bu-
reau of pensions. He sells spectacles on
which he places value of $40 pair, but
offers them to war pensioners at S22, on
the understanding that he will obtain an
increase in the pensioners annuity
Considering that about one-seventh OF
our homes are equipped with radio it
seems reasonable to hope this newest of
detectives will be successful.
