AILY WAR ANALYSIS. (Continued from Page 1) taxes would not be considered by the kaiser’s' government unless the most pressing necessity for this course had arisen. Dr. Helfferich’s public prom- ise that no war taxation would be levied was made only three months ago and did much to establish a feel- ing of deep confidence among Ger- mans. that the .outcome of the war must be wholly favorable to Germany. For the govérnment to retire from this position-and to send the tax col- lector on new rounds will inevitably have a depressing effect upon the German people. . : Germany must now begin to count the cost of conducting the war in terms not only of present losses, but also .of future financial depression. The belief that has prevailed since the war began that the whole mone- tary cost of the conflict would fall on Germany’s enemies can no longer be maintained, if war taxes are imposed. Doubt must begin to arise concern- ing the fruits of all the victories that the German armies have won. To the frightful casualties among Germany’s young manhood and to the food and economic cakes which German civilians are ‘now bearing, must be added the burden of new taxes which, once imposed, probably will not be raised by a generation. This may become the final straw for German militarism. No more temptation to cuss thatold, dried-up muc- ilage pot--nor that mouldy paste!

Model City at Plymouth, Mass. Plans for a permanent model city to shelter a population of 100,000, to be erected at Plymouth, in connection with the celebration in 1920 of the | three hundredth anniversary of the landing of the pilgrims, are being con- sidered by municipal experts. The idea of those interested in the celebration is to eliminate the waste of money usual in the construction of temporary exposition buildings. They propose to build a permanent city, one roof, and with zones for factories and in- dustries. BASEBALL TONIGHT.

Over 80 rural credit bills ‘have been placed on the congressional -calendar within the last year. The last congress created a joint commit- tee to deal with this problem and that committee is right now holding hearings and working hard to whip its bill into shape before the next: ‘congress shall .open. : The general committee ‘will en- force strictly the rule that this gath- ering is annually an open forum.

[Ohlo agricultural experiment station.j The late blight and rot fungus of po- tato has been collected in practically all of the potato fields about Wooster, Aug. 9-16, 1915, by representatives of the botanical department of the Ohio experiment station. This has already made unusual progress under the re- cent cool, moist weather and certainly has been at work for a week or more. The same fungus was collected Aug. 15, 1904; July 25, 1905; Aug. 9, 1906, and Aug. 13 and 14, 1912, Should the season continue, as heretofore, with cool weather or be very moist it is feared the injury to the late crop may prove to be very great, even exceeding that of 1905. This disease works. very, rapidly and is distinguishable from the other dying of potato leaves by the mildew-like or frosted appearance of the under por- tion of the diseased parts of leaves. This late blightand rotiof potatoes may be prevented by :spraying fre- quently with strong bordeaux mixture, made with four to six pounds of blue witrfol and four to six pounds of lime to fifty gallons of water, the spraying to begin Immediately. This spray re- quires to be repeated at eight to ten day intervals until the crop is matured. In 1906 spraying as above gave a gain of forty to forty-five bushels of mar- ketable potatoes to the acre upon the late crop. Four to six sprayings may yet be required on very late plantings. Under conditions such as have charac- terized the season of 1915 delay in spraying - treatment is most unwise. The rot of tubers follows the leaf dy- ing. Instructions for making and ap- plying the spray are contained in the Spray Calendar, bulletin 232, which will be sent upon application. For these later applications of the spray about 100 gallons per acre or even more will be required for effec- tive covering of leaves.. With an or- dinary four row sprayer it will be wise to go twice over the fleld, moving in the opposite direction the second Yime, after the first spray has dried. For a Heavy Cellar Door.
