U, however, denied they are attempting an anti-tobacco campaign. In In- diana dealers have agreed, in many places, not to sell cigarettes upon solicitation of school officials. Nearly every state has a law pro- hibiting the sale of cigarettes to minors. Apparently the strongest concerted action has bcen brought by the Anti- Cigarette League of America under the leadership of Lucy Page Gaston. This organization has headquarters in Chicago. Several years ago they urged passage of a law there making it a misdemeanor to smoke cigarettes but it was voted down by a large majority. Will Be Combatted. Action to forestall possible na- tional legislation against the use of tobacco is being contemplated by pro- ducers in New England and elsewhere in the event of a concerted movement by the reform element of the country. New York, March 8.—Lady Nico- tine is fighting hard for her life and unless the anti-tobacco forces present a more formidable attack, she will never “rest in peace” beside her dear departed husband, according to infor- mation obtained in a survey by thel United Press. So far as can be learned only three so-called national ‘reform’” move- ments openly advocate extermination of tobacco along with alcohol. These are the Anto-Cigarette League, /the W. C. T. U. and a few inconspicuous “Public health” Associations. The Anti-Saloon League claims no responsibility for the crusade against tobacco. In fact it charges such re- ports are made by enemies of the league to prejudice the public. William H. Anderson, State super- intendent of the league in New York, declared in answer to assertions an active campaign is being conducted by them, “That sort of talk is prop- aganda for the purpose of embarras- ing our efforts to enforce prohibi- tion.” i | | @Prepared by the United States Depart- ment of Agriculture.) Seed stocks of Irish potatoes com- imonly available to growers contain imany mixtures, not infrequently dis- imed. and as a rule not as produc- itive as they should be. The chief of ithe bureau of plant Industry, United |States department of agriculture, imakes this statement in reporting on éthe progress of work in developing im- {proved seed stocks. It is a recegnized -fact, he says, that the yield of pota- :tees n this country is far below that ?-ecnrsd in some other countries, and ithe difference is commonly attributed Ito the use of relatively inferior seed ‘.ltocks. Seed-improveent work is ibeing carried on by the department {ln co-operation with agricultural ex- with town. home place, lunch has already laid plans for meeting the issue when it is presented. The Tobacco League of America, composed largely of Kentucky grow- ers, with headquarters in Cincinnati, is likewise prepared to meet the “anti” forces with a heavy barrage, they claim, the moment such far- there is an active reform movement against use of the “obnoxious weed.” In most places it is directed by tne local chapters ‘of the national tem- perance organizations. In Kansas and North Dakota there are anti-cigarette laws which pro- hibit the sale or advertisement of “«H, the consequence of purely “fanticat’ legislation. Despite the fact that there is a law against the sale of cigarettes in Iowa, there is no enforcement, and the principal objection of users is that they have to pay from two to seven cents more for the popular brands, because of dealers’ ‘“risk.” Oregon has initiated a constitu- tional amendment forever banning WISCONSIN BUMP Milwaukee, March 6.—Federal Judge Geiser has enjoined federal officials: from enforcing the Volstad act in the veteran district of Wiscon- sin. Injunction was stayed by Dis- trict Attorney Sawyer, who obtained a writ of supercedeas appeal to the supreme court at once. f (Typical First-Class Irish Cobbler, the Leading Early Commercial Variety in the Atlantic Coastal Plain States. «1 |periment stations in practically all lof the important potato-producing |gtates.

IMANURING IN COLD WEATHER iParticularly Advisable to Make Appli- cation in-Winter, Says Pur- due University. The Purdue university extension de- partment particularly advises applica- tion of manure in winter when it con- tains a great amount of straw and un- idecomposed matter. The loss of plant {food because of the leaching of the manure will be offset by the advan- tages of winter applicagon. As far l" possible coarser manures should be applied to the heavler clay soils, since thege will respond in fertility and will made more mellow aggl porous.
