Our Representiye.

To The Editor of the Belmont Chronicle:
The time is drawing near when the peo.
pie of Belmont county will be again called
upon 20 make their selections for the various
Offices to be filled at the next annual elec-
ton, and it bebooves them to make judicious
selections for those Offices. Let the people
establish the rule, aud make it inf1exible
that the man must not seek the office, but the
office the man. | wish tc speak at this time
more particularly of the Office Of Represen-
tative, which is to be filled at the next gen.
eral election, the term of our late excellent
Representative having expired. Now if the
people of Belmont county have any desire
to re-elect Mr.. Welsh, and see no reason
wby they should no., am with them heart
and hand, with my vote and my mite of IT,
fiuence, for he has acted the part of faith
ful Representative, and is, at all times, and
in every ststion he may be called to fill q
reliable, honest and capable man. His
name has, however, been mentioned in con-
ne;tion with higher Office and only hope
he may be thought worthy by our State
Convention, and receive the nomination.
II is, however, With the idea that Mr..
Welsh may not be before the county Con
vention for nomination for this office, that
I take the liberty, without at all attempt
ing to forestall the action of that Conven
tion, of Offering the name of Cou'son
Davenport, of Warren Township, as suit
able person for the office of Representative
do this without permission from Mr. D.,
and entirely without lis knowledge, but
knowing him, as DO, for a most excellent
citizen, and man of the most sterlil G in
tegrity; uny ielding in the prosecution OF
what he conceives right, and infexibly
honest in the discharge Of any and every
duty.
Should he receive the nomination by the
Peoples Convention of Belmont county,
feel satisfied that that selection will he
ratified at the ballot box.

TEST SEEB Com BEFoRE PLANTING. -
Oft-repeated suggestions for saving and
keeping seed corn have been given in
Ghis journal. But whether these have
been followed or not, it is wen to make
n preliminary test of corn, and of all
other seeds which sometimes fail to veg
etate This is easily done Select from
the mass enough to be fair sample,
and plant in warm situation, or in a
box of earth, kept suitably warm and
moist. An examination of the speci-
mems, even before coming up, will show
whether they are in a sprouting ccndi-
ton. Better far to do this. than to make
q similar experiment on a five or ten
acre field, and ouly learn of a bad re-
suit when too late to be remedicd.

RAISING PoTAroEs. Shall We plant
email potatoes or large, whole potatoes or
sets? Vegetable physiology says; plant
large or at least well-matured potatoes,
and nothing else. Andthis for the very
good reason that the feshy part of the
taber is designed to feed the young plants
and to give them vigorous start before
they are compelled to get the food from
the earth. Small potatoes, or an eve with
only small piece of tuber attached, can
not afford the young plants noprishmcut
enough
Row so fer as the vigorous growth Of
the plant is concerned, and its towering
and frniting above ground this is un-
doubtediy true. But it is cortended, by
many skilful experimentcrs that for the
formation of tubers, the opposite is true
DR.. Lindley, high authority, is quoted
as saying: 81 have proved by series of
numerous, experiments, that tho weight
OF potatoes per acre is greater, under G.
quail circumstances, from sets than from
whole tubers, by upwards Of from even
NiSN "SiS nv W tHitc JOuH pCE dCtc'
Yet,it is not true that small potatoes
are better than large ones, for they often
throw up numerous small succrlent
shoots which produce only small tubcrs.
The practice now widely prevalent Of
using good, medium sized potatoes, and
cutting them in two or more pieces, is
probably the best of all methods.
1t is stated as fact--and if so it is
jnstructive-that the eyes on the remote
end of the tuber produce earlier potatoes
than those from the middle, or the root
end; and that the difference in the time Of
their maturing a crop is equal to ten days
or fortnight. Market gardeners in En-
gland and some in this country turn this
to accouBt. They cut their potatoes in
TO pieces, using the buds at the extremity
for rfie earliest crop. and the others for
n succession.
