June 17:—Well, Well. If you
don’t toot your own horn maybe so
it wont be tooted. Of course ye
editor as teachere on intensive
farming has frivensome very good
pointers on raising irish potqjoes
I'm glad to note in last weeks
News, ye editor fessed up that
Judge Stoddard won out with you
this year, but great Scott, the rea-
sons given. Seed might have been
no good, ground not broken deep
enough, planted too late, Say wyh
not use "your think shop , that s
what you experts have been trying
to have weuns do. Allow weuns to
give to your readers a little of our
experience. In the first place as
a rule we plant in February, on
. the.Ja8t quarter of the moon, now
laugh,, but more than all we want
the seed bed in good shape, broken
the fall before or early in winter.
If manure is needed,we use furrow
well rotted manure from cow pens
preferred. As to seed, we do
want ano vergron nor yet a small
potato, but a good average in size
cut one eye , left in each piece,
dropped in furrow about 16 inches
apart, cover with small plow two
furrow six inches deep or below
frost, or use cultivator with dia-
mond points set so as to throw dirt
to center, . Then in about two
weeks borrow off, then cultivate
level as near as possible,
u We have found it paid (o culti-
vate for a dry spot, but if there is
much rain If pays to bed for drain
age. W e dig just before the skin
on the potatoes quit slipping and
spread on the ground inbasement
or storm cellarv.
For fall planting we plant in
July and we don’t plant culls, for
as a rule we dig culls, but it pays
to select a fair sized potato for
seed the sprout before planting by
spqrading out on ground in the
shade. Mulch and keep moist.
The sprouts will soon start. Then
plant^but be,sure that the seed

ness, costiveness, when they are

children, who toss and grind their
teeth, with bad breath coliky
pains, have all the symptoms of

thousand plans to 109 counties in

ment in regard to educational con-
ditions and needs.

COMPANION AGENCIES IN MORALITY.
A good road is one of the greatest moral forces in the world
today. It is a companion agency to the church and school house
and as an elevating influence it is the equal of the pulpit or the
rostrum.
Bad roads cause an unnecessary and useless waste^ of time
and money, increase illiteracy, destroy society and encourage pro-
fanity in a community. A dollar spent in improving public high-
ways will add more happiness, prosperity and morality to a com-i
munity than any other form of investment. Build roads and be
good.
