POTATO WART IS CAUSING CONCERN ay Be Necessary to Use “Spook Cure”—Penn. Suffering Most Washington, March 9.—Mystic rites ot childhood for wart removal, in- volving shivery midnight visits to lonesome, spook infested grave yards, the use of a rabbit’s left hind foot with proper incantations, and the like, may yet be necessary to chase warts off potatoes. At least, the Department of Agri- culture has not so far found other means to do the job. Its witchea have steamed, boiled, dosed and otherwise assailed the wart with inconclusive results, according to a report just published. They have not given up, however, and still hope to eradicate the plant disease from the country. Potato wart infection is now limit- ed to a small area in Pennsylvania, due to & 1912 importation of “spuds" which later proved to be undesirable The experts have tried all sorts of chemical treatment of the soil and even steamed the ground be- fore planting, but without complete sudcese. ative Eggs, 2 doz. $1.00.

Cochran reached his goal in four innings, going out with an unfinished | fun of 134. The New Yorker showed some of the finest billiards of his en- tire career, his draw and follow shots being exceptionally brilliant. Starting with a run of 49, Cochran clicked off 19 in the second inning, 98 in the third and then capped the exhibition with his unfinished run. Horemans’' form last night was far below that which he displayed in the afternoon, when, while not showing any brilllancy except for his wonder- ful masse shots, he forced, Cochran to extend himself to keep the advan- tage he held at the end of lakt night's session. The score at the conclusion of the afternoon play was 900 to 869, with Cochran leading. Cochran displayed excellent form during the matinee session, once reel- ing off a run of 151, which is high for the engagement so far. Hore- mans hung on tenaciously, however, and averaged 45.62.
