With other guarantees, Poland at once takes her place among the strong nations of the world. Czecho-Slovakia's territorial gains aro. not specifically States in the summary of the treaty. Like Poland, the new Czech republic rises on the ashes of world-conflagration, its future territorial limits to be accepted in advance by Germany. America Gain Is Less.

"While reaping no direct benefit in the settlement except reimbursement for the destruction of American mcr chant ships and loss of life at sea, with tho passing of the big German commercial fleet the United States is not altogether empty handed. With the passing of the German commercial fleet the new American Merchant Marine necessarily must carry a large portion of German imports and exports if Germany is to do business in the world's markets. i ROPER CLARIFIES ! NEW REVENUE ACT Washington.?Taxes imposed under the new revenue act on sales by man ufacturers, producers and importers on tbe sales of works of art and jewelry and on transportation were explained by Commissioner Roper in a j scries of rulings made public.

The tax is payable on a sale whether or not the purchase price is actually collected and discounts for cash, 1 made subsequent to the sale, may < not be deducted. If an article is inert used in price to cover the tax, the tax is on the increased price. The manufacturer's taxes cover a number of articles, including automobiles, parts and accessories, musical instruments, sporting goods, confections, furs and fire arms and range from 3 per cent on automobile trucks and wagons to 100 per cent on dirk knives and daggers. The jewelry sales tax is 5 per cent and applies to article to be worn for the purpose of adornment, according to the ruling. Articles carried in a hand bag or in the pocket, such as cigarette cases, powder boxes and purses, are taxable as Jewelry only if ornamented with precious stones. The new tax on transportation is interpreted by Commissioner Roper as applying also to any form of regular transportation operating in com ootition with rail or water carriers. Pick 'ts sold in the United States lo ooints in Mexico or Canada arc taxable .

C. ] BURLEY TOBACCO , DEVELOPS ROOT-ROT Causing Less Production Than Other Kinds Not Subject to Disease If two* varieties of tobacco,. Connecticut Havana anil White Bfcwley, fflv instance, are planted side by sideon ground which has just grown two or three crops of hurley, the Havana retd in most instances will produce from two times to one hundred times as much as the hurley. If, however, i tin se two varieties are planted where j tobacco has not been grown for sev- ! oral years and on> soil which, is ni?C "tobacco sick" the burlcy will produce as large a crop, acre for acre,.' as the Connecticut Havana. The cause of the low yield in the first case is root-rot, a disease the Connecticut Havana is able to resist but to which the hurley is susceptible. For several years specialists of the United States Department of Agriculture have been working to dcvelV... ..r i i - up uy ^viectuig u. type 01 ouriey us rosistant as some of the cigar varieties but which will still possess the yield and quality of hurley. During the past three years these strains have been tested in Kentucky under the direction of specialists, who have prepared a bulletin (No. 7065 on strains of White Hurley tobacco resistant to root-rot. In these tests the resistant strans have made average normal growth each year, while-ordinary hurley produced practically nothing. Fungus Causes Disease. Root rot is caused by a fungus 1 which lives as a pavasitb-on.i the-rooUJ?-i of the plant. This fungus can grow into the roots and feed on their tissues, which results in decay. It can live on dead organic matter in the soil, but in the absence of tobacco plants it gradually dies out', though this may require from 5 to 10 years or more. The disease spreads much in the same way as other diseases of plants and animals. The most characteristic symptom of root rot is a decay of the root system, resulting in a stunting of I the plants. Curiously enough, root | rot rarely kills the plant in the field. Aside from becoming stunted an'1 1 yellow, the diseased' plants may show 1 wilting even in very moist soils on j days when tobacco> in- healthy soil and other crops show no wilting. The depleted root system is not able to take up water as fast as the leav* cs use it. All tobacco growers have seen fields in which the crop has made a very uneven growth, although all the plants had an equal' chance to start and develop. Those plants which j crow rapidly and stand out distinctly from their neghbors may be reI sistant to the disease. Seeds from a large number of such, plants have been saved by the department's specialists and grown in separate rows on sick soils the following year. A few of these selections have shown distinct resistance when compared with ordinary hurley, and' when propogatcd and tested several years under varied conditions have continued to maintain their original <k gree of resistance. Testing Preferred Types. The resistant strains thus far produced and given commercial trial arc all of the drooping-leaf type and arc nor standup hurleys, which man) growers prefer. Encouraging re suits have now been secured in cie veloping resistance in the stand-uf types also, and it is expected tha these strains will soon be ready fo testing commercially. Several trial have shown that the resistant bur leys are practically equal to the 01 dinary hurley varieties in respect t color and texture of the cured pre duct. i Until stand-up hurleys of unquer tionable perfection in quality are oi tained, the bulletin says, growei may profitably plant the resistar strains of the drooping-leaved typ where it is desired to utilize toba< co-sick soils. Where the land hi bad a long rest from tobacco, tl resistant type is not recommen.de for it will not show improvemoi over ordinary hurley on healthy so Tlin vnliwi r\f tltnuo mine I ir>u their resistance to root rot; hen there would be no purpose in gro\ ing them on land free from this di ease.
