POTATO GROWERS
URGED TO GUARD
Against Appearance of Wan
Disease in Their Irish
Potato Crop
COMES FROM EUROPE
SHOULD NOT SPREAD
Disease Will Remain Alive in
Ground For as Lon^ as
Eight Years.
Every grower of Irish potatoes?
whether he handles a private patch
or a commercial acreage?is urged
by the United States Department of
Agriculture to watch carefully hi*
potatoes at digging time for evidence
of potato wart disease, a European
malady which is one of the
most destructive attacking potatoes.
The wart disease was introduced
into 27 coal-mining districts of Pennsylvania
in potatoes brought from
Europe about 1911. At that period
of shortage, several million bushelof
spuds for food purposes were imported
and distributed widely
throughout the country so that many
other sections possibly have been
exposed to infection. In order to
identify and quarantine all points of
infection it is imperative that all
growers, dealers, distributors, and
county agents carefully inspect new

cious cases, in addition to sending
samples as soon as possible to their
State agricultural college, State experiment
station, or to the United
States Department of Agriculture,
Washington, D. C.
Threatens Big Damage.
If potato wart becomes generally
distributed in the United States, it
means not only millions of dollars ot
loss but also a complete change in
the potato industry to prevent its total
destruction. Potato wart almost
completely destroys the spuds for
food purposes. Once established in
the soil, all that can be done is to
work against its spread. The disease
will remain alive in the ground
for as long as eight years, and it is
unsafe to plant potatoes in infested
soil within that period. It is known
that the potato wart disease had
been establishing itself in the Pennsylvania
localities for six years before
it was discovered. The Department
of Agriculture has now placed
a quarantine prohibiting shipment of
potatoes from sections of Europe
where the disease has existed, and "f
the Pennsylvania sections arc the
oidy points of infection the. disease is
now under control.
What Disease Does.
Potato wart is characterized by
warty, spongy, cauliflower-like
growths on the underground portions
of the plant. Infections usually hegin
in the eyes and attain the size
of a walnut or larger. Sometimes entire
tubers arc converted into a
spongy, warty mass. Young wait ,

u.-)uuu,\ ugai uruwn in coior, although
after decay begins they turn
black which causes the disease to be
sometimes called "black scab," or
"black wart." Many of the warts
rot in the ground b? fore the crop b
harvested, while otlu rs decompose
when the potatoes are placed m
storage. Some of the warts left on
tin field at digging time may remain
alive under suitable conditions for
months. The disease may continu
to vegetate long after the potato
crop has been harvested, due to the
sending up of sprouts from the sound
warts and the development of new
warts from the tender portions of the
young sprouts.
.Every precaution should he exercised
to prevent the spread of infection.
The warts should he collected
and destroyed by burning. Disease.!
tubers should not he fed to stock
without first being boiled. Soil known
to he infested should be planted to
Attempts to control the disease by
fronting1 infested soils with chemicals
have failed. In European countries
it has been ascertained that certain
potato varieties resist this disease.
No American varieties of potatoes
l.ave been tested for resistance t >
rot, but experiments of this natu.o
are prohibited.

when the first world labor congress
convenes here under the provisions
of the peace treaty. Paper plans
will then be changed into a great

An organizing committee, acting
for the American government, already

congress. All nations which are
members of the League of Nations
will participate on this basis:
Two delegates representing the
government.
One delegate representing organized

One delegate representing organized

While there has been no mention
of who will be the American labor
deloirate. Samuel Gomuers nrobnblv
will be chosen. Since Gompers is
the dean of world labor and since
America will he host to the congress
Gompers is the most likely figure

industrial nations. This will give the
United States representation on this
board.
The congress will deal with specified
subjects. The program for this
initial congress was prepared by the
commission on international labor
legislation, which devised the machinery
for the congress and which
drafted the labor provisions of the
treaty, though these provisions were
an ended by the plenary session of
the peace conference before final
adoption. For future congresses the
duties will be outlined by the govern
ing board.
The program for the October congress
is:
1. Application of principle of
eight-hour day or forty-eight hour
week. ;
2. Question of preventing or providing
against unemployment.
3. Women's employment?
(a) Before and after child birth,
including the question of maternity
benefit.
(b) During the. night.
(c) In unhealthy processes.
4. Employment of children?
(a) Minimum age of employment.
(b) During the night.
(e) In unhealthy processes.
5. Extension and application of
the international conventions adopted
at Berne in 190(> on the prohibition
of night work for women employed
in industry and the prohibition
of white phosphorus in the manufacture
of matches.
The broad task assigned to the international
labor congress and to its
permanent bureau is to carry into
effect and to develop the labor provisions
of the peace treaty. While

London.?Count von BroekdoiffRantzau,
when asked by a representative
of the European Press Bureau
j whether he believed the German
counter proposals would lead to n Initiations,
according to a Berlin dis!
patch to the Wireless Press, said he
i had cured himself or t he habit of believing
in such tilings. The chairman
of the delegation added:
"I will do what I think right and
await results.
"According to an article in the
Temps on Wednesday, our opponents
: ecni to assume that the German
counter proposals go beyond the limit
within which they wish to grant
us a discussion. If this article interprets
the view of our enemy leaders,
1 hardly see any prospect of an undc
rstanding."
Asked whether he considered unbridgeable
the gulf between the Allied
demands and the German officers,
the count replied:

sible to be of different opinions
about the resources of Germany, but
there exists no agreement about the
| question whether this nation is to do
| penance as a criminal or to fulfill on
ligations as a party to the treaty.
Can Still Say "No,"
"If in October, 19iS, an avowal of
its sins had been laid before the German
nation for its acceptance instead
() a preliminary treaty regarding
ihe foundation of peace, it would
have continued to fight. At present
Germany can not fight any more,
but she can still say 'no.' "
After declaring that if he were in
the position of President Wilson, Pre
mier Clemenceau or Pr< micr Lloyd
i George he would be afraid of "assuming
an equality to God," Count
vor. Hrockdorff-Uuntzau continued.
"At the moment when the moral
: cloak of penal justice is removed
from the peace document, it becomes
bearable for Germany to a certain
extent that we, as the vanquisht ?l
must make sacrifice in power and
goods. W<- realize this but we decline
to agree like criminals to our
removal into a second-class position
among the nations.
llones ol Contention,
"There is in the draft an astonisl
ing amount of mental work which
could be used usefully if the stipulations
which were formulated in the
most blunt one-sidedness in favor of
our opponents, were to change to a
point of view which would correspond
with a peace of justice. It is ti-uc
that such a work would possess many
bores of contention which would
have to be done away with in some
