PLANT SCIENTISTS
DISCUSS PARASITES
Central Research Bureau
One of Suggestions at
World Congress.

By the Associated Press.
ITHACA, n. Y, August 20.-The In
ternational Congress of Plant Scien-
ces today had under consideration the
problem of preventing the spread of
plant diseases.
One group advocated a central in
ternational bureau for the exchange
Of information; another urged the diff
ferent countries to enforce laws
against the introduction of foreign
parasites, and a third advocated ma
tional adoption of standards of excel
lence for plant products imported or
exported.
Van Slogteren of The Netherlands
suggested organization of phyto-
pathological research along interna-
tional lines to check transportation of
plant parasites, diseases and insect
pests. He declared before the path
ology section that prohibition of all
plants was impossible, and not even
effective against the entry of some
pests.
DIR. Maximow of the botanical gar
den at Leningrad, Russia. stated he
had found that plants which will en-
dure whiting without permanent in
jury have the greatest ability to re-
Sist drought. He experimental with
wheat and found that plants raised
in very moist air become very sensi-
tive to drought.
DR.. V. T. Vouk of Jugoslavia
touched on evolution in telling the
physiology section there was no au-
thentic ground for the belief of older
scientists that vegetable life found in
warm spring waters represent the
first plant organisms on earth. as he
had found them to be variations of
vegetation in cold water.

NEWS AS PROPERTY
GIVEN BIG BACKING.
Heads of Agencies Contend
for Rights at Geneva-Trib-

GENEVA, August 20.-Speakers at
today's public session of the confer
ence Of representatives OF news agen-
cies under the auspices of the League
of Nations paid tribute to Melville E.
Stone, for many years general mana
ger Of the Associated Press and now
it's counsellor.
Elmer Roberts, representing the AS
ISOLATED Press. who introduced a resO-
luton advocating international recog
milton Of property rights in news. de-
Scribed Mr.. Stones work in securing
legal protection of news in the United
States. He told how Mr.. Stone, with
the support of the directors and mem.
berS Of the Associated Press, won their
cause and how the seal of approval
was finally given by the Supreme
Court.
Roy Howard. chairman of the bOaro
of the Scripps-Howard newspapers
said that he believed Mr.. Stones con-
tribution in establishing the property
right in news was the greatest single
achievement in American journalism
during the last generation.
The resolution introduced by Mr..
Roberts recommends that govern
ments accept the following principles:
First, that news as a business COM
modify is property; second. that this
property Fight does not expire with
the mere first appearance of news,
either In single newspaper or bulle-
tin board, but continues, and is en-
titled to protection until it's full bene-
fit has been realized by its owner, ard
third, that violation OF this property
right is unfair competition.

Origin of the Potato.

The potato is a native of elevated
districts of tropical and Subtropical
America. 1t has been found growing
wild in the Andes of South America,
Mexico and the Rocky Mountain re-
gion of North America. The potato
was cultivated and used as food long
anterior to the discovery of America
by Europeans.
1t seems to have been taken to Eu-
rope by the Spaniards in the sixteenth
century and spread from Spain into
the Netherlands, Burgundy and Italy,
but only to be cultivated in a few
gardens as a curiosity and not for
general use as a food.
1t appears to have been taken to
Ireland from Virginia by Hawkins in
1865. and to England by Sir Francis
Drake in 1885, without attracting
much notice till it was a third time
imported from America by Sir Walter
Raleigh

MEALS IN BED OLD IDEA

STOCKHOLM, August 20 R).-The
inhabitants of old Swedish castles en-
joyed modern comforts more than four
centuries ago.

Sweden'S most famous country seats,
built in 1899, contained a central heat
ing plant in the basement with con-
Quits through the walls, discovered by
representatives of the Royal Swedish
Academy of Antiquities.
This is believed to be the oldest in
stallation of it's kind in northern Eu-
rope. Breakfast in bed also appar
emily was enjoyed by the master and
mistress of the castle, as speaking
tubes were found leading from their
bedrooms to the kitchen.
