The attack succeeded. The English,

INTERNAL POTATO DISEASE
Blotoh Found Responsible In Ohio Par

In a bulletin oh potato troubles In
Ohio the department of agriculture of
tbe state hss tbe following to say
about "Internal blotch," which causes
serious loss to growers of the vegeta
ble:
"This Internal trouble of the potato
may be confused the layman with
tba internal markings of tbe tubera by
tbe fusarium fungus. It is character
ised by rusty blotches. Irregularly dis
tributed throughout the flesh. See tbe
cut No external symptoms are In
evidence. Tbe trouble Is to be observed
only by cutting Into tbe tuber. The
cause of the dlseaaa la not known.
Microscopic examlns Hons aad artificial
culture work failed to reveal any or
ganism. For the pre Kent It must be
classed among the physiological trou
bles and Is presumably due to Irregu
larities In the growing season. Two
years ago, In late potatoes which had
made a rapid growth following the ex
treme drought of tbe summer, one of
tbe buyers reported tbat In one lot be
tween 15 and 20 per cent were in
fected with this disease.

whether Infested seed would trsnsmlt
the disesse. ills results could hardly
be considered positive. It seems quite
probable tbat tba trouble la partly In
herited by certain atralna and cloeely
aaaoclnted with Irregularities In tha
growing aeason.
'.There la much evidence to Indicate
tbat many growers are practicing po
tato rotations of too short a duration.
Moat of each growers have attempted
to maintain a three year rotation of
wheat, dovtr and potatoes.
"The potato and dairy aectlon of
Ohio la .well adapted to tbla practice.
However, tbla disease factor baa been
giving trouble. It Is quite common to
find growers who, upon ratalng a prof
itable crop of potatoea on an eepedai
ly wail fitted area, will run tba riak of
taking a aeccnd crop tbe next aeason
from tba aame land. Tbla la certainly
poor practice aa far aa tba dlaease
factors are concerned."
It Is true that the possibilities
of sn sera are limited more by
tbe Intelligence of tbe farmer
than by tbe cs pa cities of tbe

In speaking of political machines te
the Brooklyn Democratic Club Qor«r
nor Wllaon said: "Machines are bad.
but an organization may be very es
sential. For Instance. I hare been
aurrornded by an organization here In
New Jersey while doing my best work.
A machine use* 1U political opportu
nities for the selfish ends of Its mem
bers. No members of our. organisation
would ever think of doing that. Pub:
lie opinion in New Jerssy has drawn
the distinction. It has killed the mar
chines, and It Is going to keep the of
gaulxatlon going. •
"It aeems to m* that we are s(and

party. The country has been disap
pointed In the Republican party, and It
la turning to the Democratic party.
That party la willing U> show the way
toward thoae things which muet be
realized.
"Some gentlemen seem to find It
easy to make personalities out of poli
tics, but It seems to me that whenever
that l» done politics is debased.
"Hen who are In search of reform
are now retorting to the Democratic
party, becauee, for my own part, I do
not know whore else they will turn to
expect the repults. There la no die
counting the itrength and servlceabll
lty of a united party, and the aplendld
part la that the Democratic party la
quitted.
'"Speaking seriously, nothing affords
me more genuine pleasure than to re
ceive auch greetinga from men In Jer
sey who have at least tested my quali
ties. Because you have known me

enough to vouch for me perhaps the
rest or the country will be credulous
of your report

Supposed In the old days, when the
board of guardian* waa la charge, ot
the state, that you war* all ot yon
disposed to give th - most monopolistic

"New Jersey waa kaown as the
mother of trusts—a very troubleeome
and questionable family—and I had to
apend my time ontslde New Jersey aa
aurlng the people of the Union that It
had not boen the fault or the disposi

there were certain gentlemen who had
undertaken to carry the Republican

"New Jer*ey 1* progreaalre, but the
United Sintt'H it progreealve, mod we
Ijave here merely a delightful umpU

"Now, the** people are aot bent on

are bent, upon Juitlce; they are bent
upon seeing to It tbat the people In

will never be glren another chance to
