DISCONTINUE CERTIFICATION OF SEED POTATOES Washington, D. O., March 8.? The rapid spread of the powdery scab disease of the potato In Maine and New York, and the difficulty which has devoloped In detecting, by any practicable inspection, the presence of slight Infection by this disease, has led tho Department, af ter an experience of five or six months, to discontinue from March 3, 1915, further certification of seed 3tock from the Infected districts un der quarantine. It la believed that seed certification under the existing conditions. Instead of being a ben eflt to the purchaser, may become a source of positive danger for the reason that the purchaser 5a given thereby a false sense of security. Without such certification the pur chaser, having been duly warned, will make his purchase for planting with a full understanding of the risk. The only Federal certification c i potatoes as a oondltion of movement from tho Infected districts will herf after be a stable stock potatoos and |i strong sfTort will be made bo plac table stock potatoes on a more re liable basis as to freedom from In fection. As all potatoes grown In I Maine both In districts believed to bo uninfected as well as In the known Infected districts aro und? regulation as to Interstate move ment, Federal certification will b |continued for seed potatoes growr lutslde of the Infected r<*>glons of hat State. The modification makes no change n the status rtf the uninfected dla 'rlcts of New York, which have been free to ship seed potato?# without '"d*ral Inspection. The public Is warned that all r.eed potatoes hitherto shipped from the Infected districts may contain oowdery scab, and that there must necessarily be somo risk aooompay ng their use, of the Introduction of he powdery srab disease. Undoubtedly thero are farms, and In soms instances fairly consider able areas within the Infected dls ?rlcte In Msine and Nsw York, which are still free from Infection, but It to not possfbte to determine this fact without *k>se scrutiny of every ?nfcer. and such action Is lmpractl ~4bto. ? In relation to the southern mar ket for Maine seed potato stock. It Is fair to state that this disease has not *stabl>thed Itself, snd there Is some evidence that It possibly oould not ?tabllsh Itself, In the southern At lantic Coast and the Quit States In Ar#e tUtee the Department ex perts are Inclined to b llevs that the disease If it sppeara at all. will be limited to the mountainous snd feMrt r?fc1<J?s.

During 1914, this mill, located' here in the "Textile Center of North' Carolina." and what should natural ly be supposed to be on?* of the first ??laces to suffer during a financial depression, low cotton prices, etc., ??arned eighty-five per cent on If? ? apital stock of $180,000.00. Fifty per cent of this earning has ?een expended In additions to th? i?lant. In the purchase of real es tate, building and machinery, while 'ho stock hnlders have received J^rry-flve p?r cent in cash. Ten per cent was paid out during the year ?n semi-annual dividends, the bai lee bAlnt-pald today by Mr. I*. P. Proves, president and Treasurer of ? he oompany. The Record of this mill has not been equalled during 1914 by an of the yarn mills of North Carolina nnd It is Improbable that any In the whole country have produced the same dividends. As a whole all of the cotton yarn mills of the c.lty have been success ful during 1914. a number have made additions to their plants anrl ?<!1 are now running full time. ACCEPTS T*ORITIOV. Capt.
