apart to be economical. But this is
not the only trouble, for we must un
derstand that the tuber is buried
deep in some places. too shallow in
others, and here and there lies with
an immense hard clod resting heavily
upon it yet needing to be penetrated
before the tender sprouts can see day.
light. In short 1t is simply impossible
toplant potatoes evenly in this way, nor
is it possible to supply them with the
mellow deep bed OF friable loan in
which they most delight and succeed.
This is, of course, most true of potatoes
planted upon spring plowed sod, but is
also more or less true of even
spring plowed corn or stubble land.
Years ago when the land was very
rich, the potato would succeed fairly
well under almost any circumstances,
but times and conditions are change
since then, and now potatoes can only
be profitably grown where the best
possible conditions are furnished. In
a few words, it may be stated that the
actual necessities required for success
full potato culture are as follows: !.
Pure, hardy, strong seed, suited to the
district. 2. Rich, mellow, warm, we'll
drained soil, not newly MANFRED. 3.
Abundant moisture, retained by con-
slant surface culture. 4. Careful destruc-
tion of insect pests. 5. Spraying in
districts where disease of the vines has
ppeared.-Farmers Review.

Scabby Potatoes.

: Last spring few Early Rose pota-
toes were planted in the garden here,
near where potatoes were planted last
year, and where quantity of fresh
horse manure was applied this year,
says j. S. Tibbetts in Michigan
Farmer" A small handful of strong
wood ashes was put into each hill be-
fore the seed was dropped in. There
was good yield of large, smooth
potatoes, free from scab. Some forty
rods distant Snow Flakes were planted
on ground where no potatoes had ever
been planted before, nor any very near
them. No manure was applied, nor
any ashes, and yet the potatoes are
very scabby. The men who dug the
potatoes say there were lots of potato
bugs in the hills sticking to the pota-
toes, where no ashes was Tor were,
which is it?) applied, while none were
seen where the ashes had been applied.
Now, whether the bugs are the cause Of
the scab, as they believe, may be an
open question; but there can be no
question as to the value of wood
ashes for the potato. Let the potato
growers try the ash remedy another
year and report results; but be sure to
keep the weeds and bugs out.

That Mysterious Dexter Bank Robbery
Explained by Confession OF the
Thief-Double Fatality.

The mystery of the robbery of the
Dexter Savings bank has been solved.
The robbing Of the bank caused great
excitement, but the Developments as
to the robber burst upon the inhabit-
ants of the village like bombshell.
1t was nothing more or less than the
confession of Orla Gregory, the assist
ant cashier of the bank, that his story
OF two masked men who compelled him
at the point of theif revolvers to open
the safe was all u myth, and that he
robbed the vault himself and then shut
himself in the vault. The officials who
had been working on the case tried to
persuade President Chase that the clues
all pointed 10 young Gregory as the
guilty one, but the bank president
trusted so implicitly in the young
mans previous exemplary character
that he would not hear to his arrest.
1t was decided to send to Detroit for u
detective and Detective Baker went to
Dexter. After short investigation
Baker agreed with the local officers and
a search of the rear room of the bank
brought forth two bags of the stolen
silver. Young Gregory was sum
moned to the bank and when con-
fronted with the money confessed. The
remainder of the money was found at
Gregory's home and So, 1908 was re-
covered-just five cents less than the
sum stolen. Gregory told how he did
the deed. lie had contemplated it
since the Monday before and on Thurs
day morning, just before Cashier New
kirk arrived, carried out his plans.
After removing the money, he struck
his head against the wall of the vault
and produced the bruise where he
claimed he was struck by the robbers.
He then laid down and so successfully
feigned Inconsistencies that he fooled
Newkirk and n physician.
Every person in Dexter was greatly
surprised over Gregory's confession.
If there was an exemplary Young
man in the village, it was
Gregory, who neither drank, smoked
nor had any vices. His parents
and father-in law, Chas. Van Ripper,
were all wealthy, and he has beauti-
full young wife, to whom he was mar
ried but two years ago, and little girl
about six months old. lie is % years

dent Of Dexter village over Cashier

Potato Cultivation.

1t may, we think, be safely asserted
that among the crops grown upon the
average western farm the potato is the
most haphazard as to results. Some
years when fall comes the potato field
discloses a rich harvest of plump tub
ers. Again there is glorious promise
of full crop; the wines" grow rank
and green, the stems are thick and
healthy, but behold when the crop is
lifted it proves q disappointing assort-
ment of little undeveloped tubers or
scabby potatoes. AS general rule
the good potato crop is result of
proper season and newly turned clover
sod rather than the farmers skill or
attentions; but there seems no good
reason why at least profitable
crop of tubers should not be grown
every year by every farmer, floods and
frosts, of course, excepted. We are
aware that this is somewhat hard on
the farmer, but we speak from expert
ence and know that the assertion is not
exaggeration. Let us see what is the
method of potato cultivation usually
practiced by the farmer that does not
make speciality of the business. With
such men the potato is raised for fam
lily use only and so-as with the case
with the kitchen garden unless ''the
woman" attends to 1.-THE potatoes are
planted after the other crops are got
into the land in good season and shape
Very often the potatoes are planted
upon the headland of the corn
field after it has been pretty well
compacted by the feet of horses.
Then the tubers are planted in hills as
far apart as the corn hills and ten
chances to one the half of them are
either obliterated or retarded by the
trampling of horses when turning upon
the headland or are left prey to the
festive potato bug. We have seen fair
crops Of potatoes produced in this way,
but more often we have seen much
land wasted and but poor returns in
crop. This Is one common way Of rails
ing the family supply of potatoes, so
that il Is little wonder that the statis-
tics place the average farm production
of potatoes at such low figure. But
there is another common way of grow
ing potatoes "down on the farm" and
it Is no better to say the least Of It

Growing NAVY Beans.

If you are looking about for new
money crop with which to experiment
next year, possibly with the view of
growing less wheat and more of some
other thing that pays better, let us
suggest that you try navy beans.
While this is crop that can be grown
with some success even on Indifferent
land, do not think that you must select
the worst field on your farm for it.
Plow deep, manure heavily, and pull
verize thoroughly before putting in
the seed. a mistake is very often
made with this crop through putting
it in too soon. Some practice planting
at the same time as corn, but this is
too early, as it then ripens in very hot
weather and is apt to suffer severely
from the weevil. They should not be
planted until the middle or latter
part of June, and this time has the
additional advantage of not intruding
upon the planting time of the other
crops. They should have good Guilt
walton rs soon as up. and then con-
tinuously until the pods begin to form,
but not after that, as there is then
danger that the soil will discolor the
beans. They may be cut with a
mower, though some prefer hand pull
ing. The harvesting should be done
as quickly as possible after the crop is
ripe, as exposure to rains will soon de-
preciate its value. The threshing may
be done by machine, or by hand if the
crop is small. With the same land and
the same cultivation the crop should
be nearly as large as the wheat yield
would be, and one has but to compare
the market reports TO see which is the
more profitable

DEMAND FOR WHARF.-The European
wheat demand is still of that negative
sort that turned away from this coun-
try by the offerings of cheaper wheat
from other exporting countries. The
result is that the present market is Of
that discouraged sort quite common in
February. The discouragements and
low prices are companions now as al
ways. People are inquiring why there
should be encouragement to investors
at these low figures now prevailing.
