MODERN METHODS FOR CULTIVATION OF POTATOES

The principal points to be objerved in successful potato growing are: l Select a well drained, loamy soil. Glve tHls the most thorough preparation possible. Do not expect a soil that is badly run out to give you good returns. It take* years to get s soli ready for potato growing: Practice a rotation of crops whlca will inelbde clover to turn under. Keep plenty of humus in the soli to hold moisture. Select mature seed of a tested variety, free from disease, and from t field free from blight: Treat &U tubers to be used for planting purposes with formalin—l pint to 30 gallons of water. It will pay to select the best hitla

from the field for seed purposes. They will Invariably * greatly Increase tbe yield. Fertilize liberally with high grade .fertilizer especially rich In available phosphoric acid and potash. About 26 per cent in the cost of fertilizer can be saved by “home mixing.’’ Be careful in the use of fresh (table manure, wood ashes, or lime jn the potato land. These may sreate a condition in which potato ’scab,’’ if present, will thrive. Take the greatest precautions that the land shall not become infected with “scab.’’ It may take rears to eradicate the disease. Give the potato field tbe best of tultlvation. As much depends on ’his as on fertiliser. Practice cultivation that will conserve soil moieure. Do not attempt to grow potatoes without spraying. Use Bordeaux mixture for blights and combine with it some arsenical material to dll “bugs.” Spraying gives an Increased value of about 350J10 to the icre. The spraying pf potatoes is often ipoken of as “potato insurance.’’ So Jon’t forget to have your potatoes Insured. In order for spraying to be iffective ar\l successful three things ire fundamental. ' 1. Spraying at the right time. 2. A use of the mixture of the oroper kind and properly prepared. 8. Thoroughness of the work. It will be observed that we have -wo classes of enemies to deal with aamely: Insects and fungus diseases. Each class requires a different mserlal but fortunately in potato q>raying both can be treated with i combined mixture. - The theory of spraying is-—to hetfn before the spores of any disease u-e present, or before any* of the inaects make their appearance, and teep the plants well covered with materials which will Immediately deitroy either the insect or the spore if the disease before any damage la lone.

Reported failures, or poor results from spraying can usually be traced lo non-obeervance of one or all of die essentials Just given. So ter as spraying at the right dme la concerned, begin when the potatoes are about four inches high ind keep them well covered until the frost kills the plants or they ripen in the fall. Do not wait until iny of the diseases appear before rou begin. A properly made mixture Is important. Many tell ir not looking after '.his part of the operation. A definite, properly planted rotation of crops Is perhaps more beneSclal in potato growing than with any other crop, and in this rotation Mover should play an Important part. Certain bacteria it the soil have the power of taking nitrogen out of the atmosphere and storing this element tp In “tubercles" or “nodules” on the roots of clover and other plants at the same botanical family. Various authorities say that an ordinary crop of red clover will put into the soil In a second crop and Its roots from ISO pounds to 200 pounds of nitrogen to the acre. Clover also has a deep root system

Potatoes Effected With “Scab."

bringing up plant food from below, conserves potash in large quantities, and adds mnch to organic matter. In Wisconsin it has been fouhd that growing potatoes after clover increased she yield 40 per cent. The leading potato growers in the district of Main are practicing uie following three-year rotation: first year potatoes; second year grain (seeded to clover); third year clover. Plow in the tell of the third year, turn the second crop of clover under, and repeat the rotation.

Two Old Time Postal ClerkS On the Daylight Limited.

Two of the oldest maU clerks on the Monon have for some time made. Rensselaer their northern stopping point They run on passenger trains Nos. 37 and 38, Which are called the “Daylight Limited" between Chicago and Cincinnati, because’ the run is made altogether In daylight except during the shortest days of the year. The men are J. B. Connor and Patrick Farley. Mr. Connor lives at Hamilton, Ohio, and has been a mail clerk on the Monon and C. JL A D. railroad for' 27 years. He ihade the first through mail run between Chi engo and Cincinnati and until the shake-up of the last year ran be tween those cities on trains Nos. 31 and 32. Mr. Farley has been a mallclerk for $5 years and has aIBO worked almost all of that time between Cincinnati and Chicago. His home is at Liberty, Ind. The mail run on the “Daylight Limited” has its northern terminus at Rensselaer, and the accumulated mall from the north that is,carried south on No. 5 and then transferred to No. 37, make the run a lively one for a time after leaving Rensselaer for the south. It is not considered a desirable run. Both gentlemen have made a number of friends in Rensselaer where they spend every other night during the period they are working.

The Bth and 9th grade sewing classes have been making Christmas presents. Archie Lee thinks the only lesson taught in Silas Marner is, “Not live a bachelor all your life.” Dr. Frederick A. Cook talked to the high school Monday after school bbout the exploration of the north pole. School will begin Friday at one o’clock and be dismissed at three for Christmas vacation. School will open again on Tuesday, January 2, 1912. Basket ball leagues have been organized and practice will begin after the holidays. There are seven teams in the boys’ league and four in the girls’. Two literary societies have been organized in the high school. A member from each class and three members of the faculty met last week and divided the school Into two sections Each section held a meeting for the purpose of organizing and selecting a name. The program will be given every two weeks, during school hour*. The filst, which will be musical, will vbe given January 17, and will. be in charge of both societies.

The cure they affected has been permanent I had pains through ray loins and was in misery day and night. I always felt tired and Worn out and was annoyed by a distressing kidney weakness.

What Gave Chairman Lee Such A Sadden Change of Heart.

About two weeks ago State Chairman Lee wrote to the republican county chairmen and to republican editors’ all, over the state, uklng the following language: “For eight months I have spent my entire time visiting every county in the state in order to get into touch with local conditions and in every manner possible promote the welfare of the Republican party. I am greatly surprised as a result of mtr'ps over the state and feel that we are entitled to expect an old-time republican victory next year.” Ten days later he came out wlti his anti-Taft statement It is a sudden and peculiar change of heart and apparently had some very forceful Impetus. Lee has violated a trust of his office by making public letters from men that were written in strict confidence. He has proven himself a political ingrate as well as a nincompoop as a politician. The Marion Chronicle very appro priately suggests that up to date Taft’s Latting average in Indiana is 1,000 per cent, while Lee’s in two campaigns is 000. In old time phraesology it is time for Lee to “go way back and sit down.”

Thinks Governor Made No Mistake in Bader Parole.

Starko County Republican. Governor Marshall Is being roundly criticised because he issued a ten day parole to Clinton L. Bader, the Winamac bridge man who was sent to prison for filing a fraudulent bill in the Jasper county commissioners’ court. Bader was wanted as a witness in Pulaski county, the character of the man is such that he was sent home alone with instructions to "report to the prison at end of his respite. Numerous critics have flayed Governor Marshall for Ike act of mercy, especially as it permitted the prisoner to spend Thanksgiving at home with his family. Governor Marshall is noted for his leniency in the treatment of prisoners, and for this he has been roundly criticised time and again. The Republican feels called upon to pass some severe strictures upon Governor Marshall’s administration, but not as to his conduct respecting inmates of prisons. Any act of mercy comes from the heart, and the man who obeys the impulses of his better nature is seldom for out of the straight and narrow way. Bader is as much a prisoner as any other man within the grim walls, but he has already suffered much, as also has his wife and children. The little ray of sunshine which came into their lb'es by the ten days* parole nqeant more to them than the tongues of all the critics can tell. Governor Marshall believes in tempering justice with mercy. It is a noble qualify, all the criticism to the contrary notwithstanding. '
