More Trouble For the New Road Law. The following telegram from Columbus, explains how the new road law isi working in Bartholomew county A new phase of the general misunderstanding of the new- eounty road unit law developed in Bartholomew county, when members of the eounty council broke with the State officials and threatened to resign unless different provisions are made.

The council-men are indignant at tin prospect of viewing seventeen new roads petitioned tor in the eounty under the new law, with no compensation. Many other roads also are in prospect, and it is estimated that a month's work would 1h ropiirid to do the viewing, for which there would be no pay. Gilbert H. Henuren. of the State hoard of accounts, in a telephone conversation, confirmed an opinion of C.

E. Custer, county attorney, in this respect, and said the matter of pay hau not occurred to him or other officials tn considering the law, and that no other eounty in the State had reached a point a hero the question had arisen. After Hendren gave his opinion members of the council drew up a resolution to be sent to Stansbury, attorney-general, saying that they deemed it an imposition to transact these duties without compensation or provision fot expenses, and protesting against the enforcement of the law. They demand that the State hoard of accounts confer with the attorney -general, and that some provision be made to provide per diem and necessary expenses. The resolution was signed by A.

M. Holland. James C. Talley. W.

E. Pancake. Isaac Breeding. Hardin Linke. Frank It.

M. Mcllenry and Tom Butler. The county commissioners at their meeting decided to take no further action on a number of roads petitioned for until additional instructions in regard to law is received. Ray Henderson, county auditor, was to go to Indianapolis to consult those familiar with the law and try to get a decision. (Hy Iowa.) One? cf the greatest questions of today is economy.

Not for the sake of accumulating finances, but from the standpoint of food production and conservation to keep the wolf from the door of the human family at large. That actual starvation is facing the world is without question. How to meet the food emergency and lessen the awful horrors of the starvation of the nations of the earth which will follow the world's greatest war tragedies is the question that confronts every individual. We have come to a time when it is not only our duty to obey the war emergency food regulations, but to aid in every conceivable way to add to the food supply. One of the ways jn which nearly every family can help is in using up the waste matter by raising poultry for food.

There is nothing else that will produce as much for the table as to use up the scraps aiul waste matter in feeding chickens. They will come nearer thriving and producing from waste and from their own findings than anything else that furnishes food for the human family. In order to aid in this matter it is highly important that we study the feed problem to carry them through the winter months and have them pro-nomieally. One of the best poultry feeds for the winter season Is clover and alfalfa put up in the form of hay. A half ton or even a few bales of good clover hay packed aw ay in the shed or poultry house will furnish feed and scratch litter.

They will eat off all the leaves and heads and save much expensive grains and other feeds, and will produce more winter eggs than when fed altogether on grain. This summer while the hay supply is abundant is the time to prepare the winter's supply of clover. It may be common red clover, sweet clover, al-syke, white clover or alfalfa. Much of this could be gathered along the roadside, right-of-ways or waste lands which are going to waste. This would enable people in very limited circumstances having only a limited number of chickens to feed them with very little expense and greatly increase food production.

One dozen eggs will weigh one and one-half pounds and probably equal that much meat. You will not only be furnishing your own table, but you may be saving the life of some less fortunate person than yourself. Do not fail to put up some clover for your chickens. It should be cut while green and well dried without having been rained on and put into dry quarters. Regular feeding will be almost the equal of sprouted grain.

Seed Plot Means Bigger and Better Potato Crop. Careful selection of potato seed and use of a seed potato plot will mean double yields next year, says F. C. tiay lord, of the horticulaural extension staff of Purdue University. "Select five or ten bushels of the best potatoes from the seed stock or other lots in projortion to the size of the potato patch, taking tubers that weigh from four to six ounces, that are free from disease, smooth and as near uniform type as possible.

In order to control scab, black scurf and black leg. treat with corrosive sublimate. The potatoes should then be spread out on a well lighted floor and left there until planting time. "Seed selected in this way and specially treated may be sown separately or in one siile of the field. Cut the tubers in pieces about the size of an egg.

each piece having two eyes, and after getting the seed bed in extra good condition, drop one piece to a hill. Cutting should be done just previous to planting. "In order to control bugs, lice, tip burn, blight and other diseases, the seed plot should be sprayed at least five times during the growing season, the first application when the veins are four to six inches high, then every ten days. Thorough spraying is essential." Bordeaux mixture should be applied at every spraying and in this put lead arsenate or Paris green for bugs and nicotine sulphate for lice and hoppers, said Mr. Gay lord.

At digging time, harvest by hand the seed plot and select the seed for next year's plot, using the remainder to plant the entire tract. Growing of a seed plot each year will result in a greatly increased yield and improved quality, he said. "All On Account of Polly."

In all the opposition tliat come out to the ratification of the peace freaty containing the1 draft of the league of nations as it stands, scarcely a single responsible American statesman has come out flatly against the principle of a lergue to enforce peace. Many have expressed serious doubts to whether or not It would work, others have said that this was not the time to establish it. and that it should wait until after peace was signed. Still more have pointed out this dithVnlty and that; and. because the American people are very largely headline readers, the impression litis gone out that a great number of senators are unalterably opposed to nny sort of a league of nations whatsoever.

There Is no doubt that some of those objections to the ratification providing for a treaty are sincere. Some of them may not he. Hut the fact remains that nearly all these statesmen who depend upon the people for votes have left open a way of retreat so that. If it finally develops that public sentiment demands the league it can never he shown that they were unalterably against it. There are many, on the other hand, who have so definitely committed themselves to the idea of a league of nations that they leave no loophole through which they may crawl if the idea is not favored by American voters.

They have the courage of their convictions. They are so sincere that they are ready to stand or fall on their records. Such a man is William Howard Taft. formerly president of the Fnited States. Hy no stretch of the imagination could he be considered as backing a league of nations favored by President Wilson through partisan motives.

Here is what Mr. Taft had to say in a public speech at Helena, the day after he had bad the opportunity of reading the draft of the constitution of the league of nations as cabled from Paris: "As lovers of your rouutry and as lovers of mankind I ask you to use all your influence with our senators to have the treaties embodying the league of nations Idea ratified. It is a real league of nations. It is not all that I wished, but comes near. It is a great deal better than I hoped.

It contains within its terms provisions for its "own growth. Indeed the exi-p ncies of the European situation In the sphere of the league will probably require additional and more stringent provisions in some respects than appear in the present plan." "There should be no doubt of its approval by the senate when it is embodied in the treaty." Mr. Taft evidently is convinced that the league will work. President Wilson believes it will work. Lloyd George believes it will work.

Even Clemenooau ot France believes it will work. It has the complete support of the Italian government, which be-lieves it will work. The little nations turn to it as their only hope of safety. They believe it will work. If all of these people and these nations believe the league will work how-can it fail to work? The only apparent chance of its failing to work would be in case there were enough strong powers against it, while it is young and untried, to keep it from workig.

But here you find the powers, all for It. Who is going to try- to upset It some power like Liberia, or a beaten and helpless Germany? Why, even Germany now hopes it ill work and work in a hurry, for without it there Is no limit to the penalties that victorious neighbors might impose. And the peoples of the world, even more than the governments, want it to work. Mothers and fathers whose sons are buried by the million on the battlefields of Europe are for it. Women who have suffered violence' at the hands of invading armies, or who have tied headlong from their homes to avoid it, pray that it may become operative.

Workmen who are hungry because factories are closed see in it a preventive of wars. People who have seen their savings jeopardized or swept away stand behind It. No one, apparently, wants it to fail, yet there are some who doubt Its success because, by careful searching, they can find difficulties in the way. They may he of good cheer, and you may rest at ease, too, because, if by itn.v chance this league which everybody wants should fail to work, there is nothing to prevent you fighting for your rights just as you did in the past. The United States faced a world in arms with very little preparation for war.

She can face a world leagued for peace with an army or navy just as large or small as slit chooses. There' Is not even the most remote probability- of the United States ever fighting the league, unless it, too. becomes insane ami needs a licking. If it does become necessary for her to fight nations which cannot be eontredled by the lea cue. there is nothing to prevent her from doing so.

Further information regarding the league of nations, including pamphlets of the covenant of the league and speeches made in its behalf, may be obtained at the office of the Illinois state branch of the League to Enforce Peace, 342 Monadnock block, Chicago, III. Spray Your Potatoes This Season. M. K. Cromer The question is often aked.

"Docs it pay to spray potatoes?" The answer can only he "Vc-." it you do it rieltt and "No" if you do it wrong." Hy doing it right we ntcatt to spray at Kat five times during the season and cover the plants very thoroughly with spray each titne. Such spray-in as this has been shown in a very-large number of different places to increase the yield -'5 to or more bu-hcls per aero. If the season i-rainy and diseases arc rampant spraying will do more good, hut these were made during dry seasons when there was no disease except tip burn. Sprayinir will pay just as much for thc small Gardner as the commercial grower. The next question is, "What shall we spray with?" The only spray to be used on potatoes is Bordeaux mixture.

With this can be mixed any of the insect poi-ons such as lead arsenate. Paris green or Nicotine sulfate. Bordeaux mixture is made of 4 pounds of blue itriol copper sulfate! and 5 pounds of hydratcd lime in 50 callous of water. The blue vitriol should be dissolved and added to about 45 gallons of water, then mix the hydrate! lime in or gallons of water and add to the blue vitriol. Stir thoroughly while adding the lime, or small amounts n-o to tablespoon fulls of lime and tablespooni'iills of pulverised blue vctriol crystals tor each gallon of water.

The Bordeaux must be applies thoroughly and at least 5 times during the season, beginning when the plants arc about inches high. The first spraying should tto about 50 gallons of mixture per acre and the other four applications at least 75 gallons each per acre. The commercial grower should have a traction sprayer which can hold a prcsure at least too pounds against nozz'es. A sproy boom should be purchased or made which will cover at least two rows. nozzles to the row.

The nozzles should be arranged so that one will be directed down .011 the top ct the vines and two directed diagonally upward on cither side of the row. With such an arrangement, the spray can be applied to the top and to the lower surfaces the leaves. Such an arrangement is absolutely essential to control the leat-hoppchs. The small gardner should have a small, pressure tank spray containing about 5 callous. Fsitally -ttch a sprayer, when purchased has a short piece hose with the 1077lo attached etrcctly to This nozzle should be removed ard a piece of inch galvanized iron pipe about feet long sulv-stitutcd.

To this pipe attach the 1107-zcl by trn a ns of a i inch 45 degrees street Such a connection makes it ca-y to spray the plants above and bdow. When spraying do not walk rapidly, hut cover each vine thoroughly. An eight acre patch should take at hast one five gallon tank of spray the first lime and tanks each of the f. ttr succeeding applications. 1 chvuing insects like pot.ito bugs add level tablespoon fit's of povv d.crc! 1.

ad arsenate for each 5 gallon tank of mixture. Add this to the S'-ordeanx or to 5 gallons of water alone it desired. Parts green may be eal' on and tray also be added to the Bordeaux. If tins poison is to ho sprovod alone it wi'l be best to mix to ta! poouiu's liv lime in the water with ir to prevent burning For su.ek;ng insects like plant lice add a teaspoonfnl of "Black Leaf 40" Nicotine su'phate for each gallon of spray mixture. This solution must strike the lice to kill them, hence the need for a thorough application.

Lying at dock in New York is the steamer "Faith," which is a wonder. She is built of concrete, which is practically the same as stone, and her captain says she rides the waves like a sea gull. The was last Thursday discharging a cargo of sugar. She had made a round trip to Valparaiso and back via the Panama Canal. The captain said he had called at twenty ports, and at every port "people would come aboard, kick on the deck and say.

'Well. I ll he and then go off." The vessel seems to he aptly named. People have faith in her. for she is alniut to be dispatched to Europe with a cargo worth a couple of millions. As she is described painted and looks not concrete structure, but the vessel is at all like a rather like a wooden ship.

Her that she is as good captain declares ship as there is afloat, and not doesn't 'ajiyone who says she is know what ho is talking about." When ship's were first made of iron, some three-quarters of a century ago. the world wondered. But an iron or steel ship seems commonplace compared with one of concrete. Will wonders never cease?

WILLIAM G.

SCH I LD MEIER, Administrator. April 28, 1919. Potato Fertilizers. Potatoes are essentially a rich, loose, soil crop. Only large yields can be expected when they are planted in such soil and given careful cultural attention throughout growing season.

Nothing equals the use of animal manures as soil improvers. Not only-do 1 hey add organic matter and plant food, but also increase the water-holding capacity of the soil. All these are essential in potato culture. Animal manures should be plowed down in the fair if applied directly to the potato crop. Flesh manure applied just he-fore planting is liable to cause too rapid drying of the soil and favors scab development.

On clover sons the application of M0 pounds of acid phosphate will give largest returns for money ex-ponded. Usually the application of pounds of 3 per cent nitrogen. 10 por cent phosphoric acid and per cent tHitash vv ill give favorable returns. On such soils potash should be used. The application here of 3i0 7.00 pounds of fertilizer containing S-10 per cent phosphoric acid ami t'-10 per cent potash gives satisfactory results.

When over 200 pounds of fertilizer is applied per acre it should be drilled or broadcasted into the top six inches of the soil. For further information on the use fertilizers on potatoes call County Airont M. E. Cromer. Fruit Crop Practically Ruined By Two Freezes.
