KILLING POTATOES.

The question of hil'ing, ridging or level
culture for the potato seems to be one MAIN
ly of conditions, the object to be attained
being the same in all cases. The results of
certain experiments made last year at the
New work agricultural experiment station.
by DR.. E. L. Sturtevant, from whose report
we cite these notes, seem to add force to the
hypothesis that the conditions under which
the potato becomes of the best quality and
most prolific are those which secure dry
ness and warmth for the tuher, moisture and
GOODNESS for the roots.
The examination of the growing potato.
the soil being "a strong clay, shows that the
conditions, are borne above the seed, while
the roots extending from the eye pass down
ward into the soil to the depth of twenty Or
more inches, But few roots are to be seen
occupying the upper and warmer layers of
the soil. and, in general, we may say that
with us the major part of the roots passed
below the region of soil which would be
distributed by the ordinary process of cult
walton. In cases where the upper surface
OF the soil was purposely kept of triable
texture there was a marked tendency of the
tuber to- approach the surface, but in the
strong clay soil this tendency was not mani
fest.
Ridging or hilling in clay soil brings the
formation of the tuber into that region of
soil kept dry by position and kept warm by
ho T11t
hoeing has a tendency to furnish mulch
of fine earth that protects the roots which
are below the tuber from the heat of tbs
suns rays and checks the evaporation of the
moisture from the soil below the stirred
portion. Upon sandl land we may assume
tions of keeping the tuber in warm, dry
upper soil, and forcing the roots deeper into
the cooler and more moist strata below.
However the theory, the facts of express
sion based upon this view have given inter-
esting results. The seed used in these COM
parisons was the whole potato. The yield
calculated to the one hundred hills may be
represented in the following table:
Pounds of mer-
charitable tubers.
Ordinary level culture Observation-Disclosures. 473
Ord nary ridge culture. S33
In ridges and the Intervals mulched...... 92a
Potatoes covered with straw.............. S44
Potatoes covered with sand.
We may state the results of these expert
ments as follows:
Soil which could raise only a calculated
crop per acre under ordinary level culture
of eighty-six bushels, under ridge culture
of one hundred and fifty-one bushels, yet
under theoretical circumstances, yielded
upon the same soil at the rate of three hun
dred and thirty -four bushels per acre.
These experiments seem to have great
Significance but there is need of more than
one years trial before we can feel assured
of the correctness of this hypothesis and
vet it would be very strange if the climate
OF one year could be such as TO lead to mis-
interpretation of results so clearly defined
and offering such great differences.
House experiments carried on IN glass
pots, and with single eyes used as seed, Of
fer results which may be considered cor

ALTHOUGH every one is aware OF the ne
cessity of a plentiful use of manure in gar
dening, few take sufficient pains to prepare
it so as to have it in the most effective and
assimiable condition. Coarse. fresh manure
is of but little benefit to early and rapid
growing vegetables. In order to promote
their growth materially the manure used
should be fine and mellow.

4 Memorable Thanksgiving.

There was a day of solemn mirth at
Plymouth, in the fall of 1923. A public
Thanksgiving was observed because a
bountiful harvest had relieved the infant
colony from the fears of starvation
During the preceding April the Pill
grims, warned by the short crop of the
previous year, had planted more corn
than ever before. In Nay a drought set
in, and for six weeks there was not q
drop of rain. The ground was parehed
and the corn was ''judged dead
The most resolute of those who had
suffered former privations without a
murmur began to despair. 1t did seem,
they whispered to themselves, as If God
had forsaken them.
A day was appointed for the people
to meet in the Westinghouse and pray
for rain. 1t was fair day and not a
cloud was to be seen. For nine hours
these Pilgrims continued in prayer, and
that, too, though the sun shOne brightly
and the air was sultry.
Toward evening the weather-wise no
ticed a change in the atmosphere and
took courage. Before morning rain
came, ''sweetly and freely" 1t lasted
fourteen days, and was unaccompanied
with thunder or wind.
The corn revived. But what was
equally grateful to these pious souls,
the Indians were impressed by the fact
that the rain had followed so soon the
| prayers.
s'Now we see, they said, s'that the
! EnClishman's God is good God. He
has heard you and sent rain, and that
without storms and thunder which we
usually have with our rain, which
| breaks down our corn. But your corn
stands whole and good. Surely your God
is a good God:''
Tie harvest was fruitful, "and at g
convenient time" says the chronicle
ssthey solemnized a day of fhanksgiv
inc unto the Lord. Youths CoDapan

The State Fair.

Much interest is being manifested
outside the city in the coming state
fair, and should stir the citizens of
Austin up to renewed eXertions to
make success of it beyond anything
seen here before. When this institu-
ton can be made a thoroughly state
affair it will be of vast benefit to all
the business interests of the city; and
too much vim cannot be put into the
movement. Much is being done to
interest the people, and not the least
are the offers of special premiums.
The following correspondence, which
explains itself, and which shows a
spirit highly to be commended, is
published to show how far those offers
of premiums go to create interest;
FIsKvILLE, TEX, July 10, 1883.
Mr.. II. ID. Cunningham, Agent DIilburn Wagon
Company, Austin, Tex,
Dear Sir - For the information of
all interested, would like for you to
state explicitly what limitations and
conditions there are to your offer OF
farm wagon, as premium, for the
best pair of Texas raised mares at the
coming State Fair. Is the judgment
to be based upon speed at trotting, or
running, or upon general utili ty as
farm animals ? and is it to be catch
team, put together for the occasio n I?
or must the pair belong to one owner
and be used as pair?
Respectfully,
C. A GRAVES
