DEL. POTATO DISEASE DIS
CUSSED BY PSYCHOLOGISTS

Along with the harvesting of the
sweet potato crop in Kent County,
Delaware, this fall, arrangements have
been made by County Agent Russell
E. Wilson to check over the disease
contnol demonstrations which were
conducted again this year on the farms
of Ernest K. Killen, Samuel Brad
ley, H. w. Knapp and Robert H. Green
lee in the FELTON, area.
This project, which is being carried
on in cooperation with DR.. j. F.
Adams, plant pathologist of the Uni
versity of Delaware and the State
Board of Agriculture, has been plan
ned to show the effect of dipping
the roots of sweet potato plants in
disinfectant solutions for the control
Of black rot, scurf and other diseases
that are common to this crop in this
section of the United States.
The treatment material used last
spring in these demonstrations con-

which is the same kind of material
that was used in this project in the
spring of 1888 on the above mention
ed farms in Kent county. This disin-
fectant is in dust form and it is con-
verified into a solution by adding 4
ounces to 2 gallons of water. In
treating the sweet potato plants pre-
cautions are taken to not allow this
LIQUID to come in contact with the
tops and leaves of the plants, as
only the roots are treated land the
plants are dipped instantaneously and
Immediately set in the field. Some
injury to plants has been experienced
in former years by growers attempt
ing to treat too many plants at a
time, and allowing them to remain
covered with wet sacks which result
ed in the solution saturating the en-
tire plants.
In addition to checking the results
of these field demonstrations, where
possible data will be secured on the
effect of this plant treatment on the
keeping qualities of sweet potatoes
in storage. Unfortunately from a
demonstration standpoint the disease
prevalent last year in this area was
so small that no comparisons of the
treated and untreated plots could be
determined except in one of two in
stances, and even then the differences
were very slight in favor of the plant
dipping practice.
Experiments and demonstrations
with reference to the control of sweet
potato diseases which have been con-
Quoted in this county for period of
years, however, have shown that those
growers who are following such prac-
tees as seed treatment, clean seed
bed, crop rotation land the treatment
of plants have greatly improved their
crops from the standpoint of product
ion of marketable sweets and storage
conditions.

Mr.. Holder states that the plots
were so arranged as to compare the
performance of the new variety with
the regular Alaska strain, in regards
to vigor, maturity and yield and in
practically every instance, the new
variety excelled.

New GYork Danlsel Climbs Mount AssinibOine in
 Canada

Banff, Canada, (UP) = Miss Georgia Engelhard. slim girl ale pinist of New York, has just climbed Mount Assiniboine, the highest peak in the Canadian Rockies. at the same time scoring her 1O0th ascent in the Banff- Lake Louise area. i.
 Two years ago she set a new wo. mems endurance championship by sealing ss peaks in this region in a single summer. Noun Assini- boine, known as the Matterhorn of the Canadian Rockies, towers 11,S7S feet, some 40 miles south east of Banff. Its great glacier top offers treacherous going in a nor- nal summer. an dthe strong sun- shire of the past months made the ascent doubly precarious.
 'The job wasn't really hard she said, "1've topped many a lesszer peak that offered stiffer climbing problems. Mount Assini- boine looks inaccessible and for bidding In it's cold ice-cap, but the rock on its slopes is all firm and strong, with good hand-holds and footholds almost all the way up. The last 1,500 feet run up a ridge that gave me some trouble. but nothing to compare with peaks around Lake Louise and in tho Selkirks."
 Miss Engelhard made the As siniboine climb with Victor Kut- schera, Austrian guide of Lake Louise. She scored only a dozen ascents this simmer, partly be- cause of uncertain "climbinG weather" and partly because of q sprained wrist.
 In the Assiniboine district Miss Engelhard also climbed Mount

hostile to the investigation. It would have killed 1t off early in the game. But after Pecora's sem sational exposure of Mitchell and the National City Bank and later of the Morgans and their escape from income taxes for three years, suppression was impossible.
 But the efforts never ceased. EPecora himself was continually subjected to them. Wall Street ale ways uses one powerful weapon. 1 cali 1t the Terror" It Is very often easy to frighten men in positions of great responsibility away from a course if enough people in whom they have confidence will keep pointing out to them that they are inviting a national disaster. I have seen more than one good man draw back in the face of this, technique. The big bankers, the Exchange, great politicians of both parties turned this terror on Senator Nor- beck, MT Pecora and latef Senator Fletcher and the committee, just as they are now applying ito the se- curities exchange commission to scare them away from drastic con- trol of the Stock Exchange.
 When the democrats took con- trol of the senate, Senator Duncan U. Fletcher of Florida became chairman and assumed direction of the probe. This was a lucky cir cumstance. for through the re- maining year he stood like a rock behind Ferdinand Pecora and did not, so far as I was able to see, give an inch in the face of the most powerful forces.

 men and stratagems in pursuit of Aasy riches. But in the end II wound it's tentacles around banks, investment companies, corporations and even the government or the United States.
 Various attempts have been made to tame it. Once when the present Chief Justice Hughes was governor of New York he named | commission to study it. But II turned out to be a white-washing commission. Then under Wilson the famous money trust investlga- lion by the Pujo Committee and conducted by Samuel Untermyer went into the performances Of the Exchange. Later bill was intro- duced to curb it. But the war ended that fight as it ended so many other forward-looking move- snents then under way.
 Then as this depression became inor4 bewildering and people got to crying for a visual devil, a clarnor went up for the blood of the money changers" in Wall Street. It was a strange cry. The wrath was not directed so much at the sins of the Exchange in the old bull period, but at the part 1t was now supposed to play in de- pressing prices and prolonging the depression. In the senate. Brook hart and Tom Heflin thundered. But in the summer of 1881 more conservative soulds began to exhi- bit apprehensions. Business men in New York declared that bear raid- ers-short sellers who were un- loading shares-were demoralizing the market and infesting the whole nation with new infusions of gloom. Finally on July 10, 1881, President Hover launched bolt at the raiders" He charged that the manipulators were driving the markets down and that if these ] gentlemen had a sense of patriotism they would close out their man1pu- Iations at once. The President had come to be. Ueye that all the measures he had set in motion to end the depres- sion were being wrecked by lack of confidence and that this neces- sary confidence was being mur- dered by the Stock Exchange. There is no doubt that Wall Street operators were active on the bear side. Matthew BruAh, Tom Bragg, Ben Smith, the late Percy Rocke- feller and many smaller fry were busy. A group of big business men conferred about organizing a movement in Washington to pro- yoke an investigation. One of them approached me with Q proposal to take charge of the movement. About this time one of our leading industrialists met one of the bear raiders in the Madison Square club followign a big fight and denounc- ed him. They almost came to blows. These big executives claimed they were spending millions in advertis- ing to stimulate confidence and that these bear raiders were de- i. .etroying all to make a few more millions.
 1 As Christmas, 1881, dawned the ! kloom was pretty thick. The Aus frian Credit Anstalt had failed in September. Hoover had granted 2 the German moratorium. England had gone off the gold standard and the nation was swept by @ tidal wave of bank failures-a thousand in three months. Still the bears kept up their raids. I never be- lieved these raids were forcing stocks down. The whole business structure was falling apart. Nobody

But the investigation which had been launched to besmirch a few
 Wall Street politicians had devel-
 oped into the greatest probe of our
 financial world in history. The credit for this must be given to a
 man whose name is seldom men toned in stories of the investiga- | tion-Senator Peter Norbeck of
 South Dakota. This alone is what saved it from suppression.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1934-10-24

Some day Senator Norbeck may choose to tell the pressure that was applied to him to bring the hearings to an end. And some of that pressure was applied right inside the committee. It is one of the strange facts of this whole story that the investigation was made by he senate banking com- mittee which was overwhelmingly
