As is well known, the prospective Senator is a lsraperauce advocate, and what nfluence. he will yield in regard t« he liquor bill is worrying the •rae i. ugaged in the traffic.

L, Smith is a candidate fm congress' and every move made at this me(fiUpg was an effort to exclud* my other man, than Smith, for run­ ning for the nomination. The ’earl) intention of "Boss” Schmidt was t< have a resolution passed to, allow Judge Smith, or a special committee to be appointed by the central com­ mittee to name the delegates 'to tb< convention thus taking the matter out of the bands-of the voters* nll-to gethCr. Tuis deal would not work unless {Judge Smith would be the only candidate and here is where they weakened. Every effort was pm, forth on Monday by the “ machine’ to purchase ail the prpxys possible.

WELL-KNOWK Recent investigations'made a t the Ohio Experiment Station show that a disease, heretofore but partially re­ cognized, injures potato tops severely a t times. • This is the Potato Rosette, and tins disease seems to "he general. Seed treatment ie 1903 has increased the yield where the disease prevailed from 25 to 125 p e rc en t on a light crop. Bulletin 145 just published, gives the second series of results in treating for tim trouble. Formalin a t the rate of 1 pint in 30 gallons of water, is the solution used. Immerse the seed potatoes in this for 2 hours, after which the tubers may •be dried and cut for planting, This bulletin will be sent to all citizens of the state who may apply for it.
