Late Blight of potatoes has been quite general througout the State this year. Not only has the yield been greatly re¬ duced in many cases but tubers bave be¬ came infected and have rotted or soon will rot as a result. Numerous inquir¬ ies regarding storage which will pre¬ vent rot have beeh sent to tbe State College of Ag^riculture. Some growers wish to know if the seed may be treat¬ ed or if lime may be sprinkled on the tubers in order to prevent or to delay the rot in storage. Unfortunately noth- 8337 '"K can be done in the way of treatment of the tubers to prevent rot, but if in¬ fected tubers are stored in a cool, dry place it may be somewhat retarded. It has been repeatedly demonstrated, _q however, that the blight and rot of po- 3387 i tatoes may be prevented by a thorough 1011 I application of bordeaux mixture to the 1694 I plants throughout  the gp'owing season
 and that, even during dry seaaons wben

Long laland did its share in the Democratic victory that swept the conntry Tuesday and tbe three counties retorned ssrying pluralities for tbe ticket. The real surprise of the elec¬ tion is Suffolk Coonty, whicb, deapite a long record of Republican regularity gave the Democrats thia year a plural¬ ity of about 2.000. Naasao, the home of Colonel Roosevelt, which has been the acene of a stirring battle fur votes during tbe eampaign, went Uemocratic by aboat 800 votes over tbe Progres¬ sives, with the Republicana third.
Queens has always been Democratic and this year was no exception. Tbe pitirality for Wilaon ie placed at 14,000. The "Boll Moeae" ticket ran aecond with a vote twice that of the Repablicana.   	
NASSAU COUNTY.
Mineola, L. I., Nov. 5 —Nassau Coonty, the bome of Colonel Roosevelt, tbe Progreasive candidate for tbe Presidency, waa carried by Wilaon by about 800 votes, with Colonel Rooae¬ velt bia neareat competitor, and Preai¬ dent Taft in tbe rear. While Colonel Roosevelt received a big vote in the county he waa unable to make mucb headway againat tbe united Democ¬ racy. The general Uemocratic land- alide carried all of the candidatea to victory, and Sulzer ran closely behind the Presidential nominee, much to the aurprise of the party leadera. Laih- rop Brown, tbe Democratic candidate for Congreaa, led Frederick C. Hicka by almoat 800 votea. Hicks was.,£en- erally conaidered as being tbe wtncer, as hia popularity waa great in the county. Bourke Cockran, the Bull Moose candidate, was but 300 vote« behind the Republican candidate.
The returns show that the new party movement split tbe Republican party in two and drew no strength from tbe Democratic party. Thomaa H. O'Keefe ran juat a little behind the State ticket, but leada hia neareat com¬ petitor, George L. ^Tbompaon, by abont 800. The Democratic candidate for Aaaembly, Thomaa B. Maloney, waa high man, and ran ahead ef the State ticket, and leads Judge Elvin N. Edwarda by 1,000 votea, with Jeremi¬ ah Wood, the Republican candidate, badly beaten. Tbe State ticket of the Progresaive party ran far behind Colonel Rooaevelt.
Tbe Freeport Gub Hooae waa well filled Tuesday evening by the membera Suffolk All I *^^ friends of the Club, intereated in receiving the Election retorna. A pleasant part of the evenings pastime was the minstrel entertainment furn¬ ished by local talent,"which was ap¬ preciated by all. During the evening the election returns were announced, a special wire having been run into the Club Houae for that purpoae,

it aeems from the applause when an¬ nouncements were made ahowing any gain for Roosevelt, that there were lots of Bull Mooaea in tbe audience, the retorna were appreciated, and ev¬ erybody aeemed in good humor. It waa tbe oaual crowd of an election nigbt. Each one had voted aa he thought beat, and was content to leave tbe reaolts with the majority.
A concert will be given by the Rockville Centre Methodiat cboir and frienda, under the auspices of the Ep¬ worth Leagoe, in the Bellmore Church, next Thursday, Nov. 14, at 8 o'clock.

Good Night Beloved. ^
Among tha local changea conaequent to tbe election of Wilaon tbia week will probably be that of poatmaater. Already several names bave been men¬ tioned for the ofiice, among them that of Herbert A. Bacon. Mr. Bacon has always been a loyal supporter of the Democratic ticket and ia more deaerv- ing of the appointment tban aome of tbe otber aapiranta.
Al hoagh the En {lish game of rogby is played so differently from the Amerf- oan game, Clock organized a team of scmbe and played the Preeport High School eleven. Olook's players won, and the loeers voted Olock "the best yet." In Oxford aooordkig to dispatch¬ es from London, Olock is regarded in the football world mnch in the same light as "Sam" White of ftinceton was held last year. His captaincy this year is bis reward.
Tho "prexy" at Pembroke has gone a atep farther iu showing the pnpnlarity of the former Freeport boy. When he learned that Clock had been designated as captain by his teammates, he per¬ mitted him to take a team to Cambridge to play the football team of that college. This is the flrst time in a decade of years that Pembroke will have engaged in athletic oombat witii Oambridse.
Herbert W. Clock is the son of Horry Clock, who lives on Merrick road, near Grov« street. At Meroersbnrg Academy he was one of the stars on the track team, aud also played halfback on the football team. Clock was an excellent boxer, and uniier the tntorship of "Larry" Temple, he entered the ama¬ teur boxing tournaments last winter. He won all his battles and tried for the amat>ear middleweight cliampionship of London. He i^ looked upon as the most finished boxer in tho English colleges.— Brooklyn Eagle.
CLEAN SWEEP IN SUFFOLK.
Tbe reault in Soffolk County waa a clean sw^ep for tbe Demoeratie ticket, Wilaon carrying the coonty by 2,000 plorality. Tbe Democratic landalide for the Preaidential candidate carried in every local Democratic nominee, de¬ feating tbe moat popular Repoblicana on the local ticket.
Tne vote as between Roosevelt and Taft waa pretty even In Suffolk Coun¬ ty and a comparison with previeua elections ahowa tbat tbe Progreasive vote came about wholly from the Re¬ publican party, tbere being a atraight Pemocratic vote.
Babylon whicb gave Wilaon 317 plurality, ran Rooaevelt 116 ahead of Taft; Huntington gave Wilson 198 plurality nqd ran Rooaevelt 30 ahead of Taft; in Smitbtown Wilaon led Taft by 182 plurality and Rooaevelt fell 46 behind Taft.

This clearly shows the advisability of making spraying one of the regular operations connected with tbe growing of potatoes.
