assemble until tomorrow morning. but

members Of these organizations VINO may
not be themselves accredited delegates
to the convention.
II is the semi-centonnlal Of the con-
yention, and this fact alone would make
it one Of the most interesting IN the life
time of the organization since It sepa-
rated from the northern branch Of the
Church in l5i5.
Being a delegate body whose members
are chosen. as rule, by ballot from
the churches or societies which they
are here to represent. it may be said to
comprise IN IFS ranks the leading lights
of the denomination in the South.
THREE THOUSAND EXPECTED 10 ATTEND.
As the delegates are not expected to
have registered before Tomorrow it Is
not possible TO estimate the size of the
crowd which will be here, but it Is be
ueved that 1900 would be a conservative
estimate. Or. Stakely said a day or two
ago that from the way applications for
accommodations were pouring IN, he
thought there would be IN The neighbor-
hood Of a thousand delegates present
when the convention Is called to order
tomorrow
Many Of these will doubtless have other
members of their families with them
and these will go to swell the size OF the
gathering. The very best OF arrange
ments have been made by the local COM
mittee for the comfort and welfare OF the
visiting host. Post-office facilities have
been prepared. and everything has been
dom to assure the delegates that no
whore can they feel as much at home
as in the beautiful capital city.
The series OF meetings was inauguratod
last evening with the annual session OF
the Baptist Educational Society, which
was held at the First Baptist church, on

Potatoes by irrigation.

To grow potatoes by irrigation. l
shall treat the subject with reference
only to farmers who wish to irrigate
in a small way, say one acre or less.
Because | think most OF our farmers
will only irrigate in small way, and
because | am of the opinion success
for the community and individual is
more likely to result from persons
trying small tracts at first. To raise
a small patch of potatoes l would
first level the land thoroughly then
manure one-half to one inch deep;
plow under two to four inches and
then water sufficiently to cause freez-
ing to loosen the ground. l should
make small pond and after the land
is sufficiently watered for proper freez-
ing should turn water into the pond
and two weeks before l desired TO
plant l would water the land thor
oughly till wet at least four feet
deep. As soon as dry enough to work
lust right | would plOw an inch deeper
than the land was first stirred, down
to eight inches. Furrow out in rows
three feet apart with single shovel or
stirring plow and drop one piece or
potato of good size with not less than
two eyes every eighteen inches IN
rows. Cover with cultivator and have
potatoes at least four inches below
the surface. Harrow often until they
are four to six inches high. Then
plow as often as they need it TO keep
the weeds down or land mellow with
corn cultivator. At each plowing get
shovels farther from plant. With
such watering before planting and
such care as to let no weeds grow, and
keep ground mellow, with early po-
tatoes you will scarcely ever have to
irrigate. But if the season is very
dry and plants begin to suffer, make a
deep. clean furrow in middle of each
row and run a small stream Of water
through each furrow till the water
soaks entirely through the hills.
Don't allow any furrow to get over
half full of water at time. II bugs
