a POLICE CHIEF 1MpEACHED.

james Foust, of Altoona, Charged With
Being n Dcserter From the Navy.
Altoona, Nov. 1S.-James Foust, chief
OF Altoona's police, has been impeached
by the city councils on the grounds that
he is Il deserter from the United States
Marine Corps. The plaintiffs in the case
claim that they have conclusive evidence
of his guilt. Fousts friends will contest
his removal from office on the grounds
that he WAS n minor when he enlisted in
the marine corps in 1881.
The affair has caused a sensation in the
city. Mayor Barr has been asked to re-
lievc Foust, but intimates that he will
not do so unless compelled by law

BRYAN's BIGGEST PLURALITY.

Texas will stand at the head of the
States which give Bryan majortes.
There is no telling how big the majority
will be in that State Up to Saturday
last conf lete returns had been received
from $50 of the GAG organized counties of
the State, and they gave Bryan III, 1873
plurality over Mckinley. The counties
to report, it is said, run Bryan's plurality
beyond the 100, 000.mark Governor Gull
berson has only 10000 plurality from the
reported counties over Kirby, Populist.
The full vote of the State, it is thought,
approximate 10000 which is 10, 900
larger than ever before cast.
Colorado will be next to Texas in the
matter of a majority: Missouri is third
Arkansas fourth, Mississippi fifth, South
Carolina sixth, with the other States fol-
lowing.

The Texas station opens furrow. has
Toys lay the plants against one side, and

Potash is most essential fertilizer,
though complete fertilizer gives best
results on soils not already fertile. Plenty
of humus or decayed vegetable matter
in the soil is necessary to good results
with sweet potatoes. Shallow cultiva-
ton to keep the ground mellow and keep
down grass and weeds till the vines
shade the entire field is all that is
needed. In Kansas, sweet potatoes
were irrigated with good results Dig
when a broken potato will show dry,
white surface alter few hours exposure
to the air. If the broken surface turns
greenish black, the crop is immature
and will rot. Pillow shallow furrow
each side the row, throwing the dirt
from the row, and using rolling coul-
ter to cut the vines, and then run a
deeper furrow in the row to throw out
the potatoes. The vines may be graZed
off by. cattle before digging, and hogs
will find all left in the ground after dig
glng. Store in dry place and keep
temperature at about rs degrees for two
weeks till they are done sweating, and
then about so to 60 degrees is best. Pick
out all decayed tubers during sweating
period, and there is little danger of rot
afterwards.

ciduous fruit orchards about DeFuniak
more than three years before the expert
ment station was informed of its presence
Immediately upon information the direc-
tor of the experiment station sent the ento-
mologist to DeFuniak to investigate the
condition of the scale. After several days
of hard work in the field, he ascertained
that about 200 acres of fruit trees were
infested. Active steps were taken toward
suppressing the pest, but with so large an
area and with much of the land held by
owners living in distant States, the work of
educating the people to the necessity of
the case was very slow. though many were
already familiar with the disasters that
attended the delay in such work. and con-
sequently were ready to do anything that
should be advised
From time to time the botanist of the

were thought to be hopelessly lost were

Sweet Potato Planting and Culture.

OW66t ObabO 1dut1uS duu OulGuros
Six weeks before planting time bed
the seed, says farmer in Stockman and
Farmer. II the bed is three feet wide,
one bushel large potatoes will cover four
feet in length, one bushel medium size,
six feet and one bushel small seed eight
feet. Where the season is long, two or
three crops of plants can be drawn from
the bed. If two crops are drawn, two
bushels small seed, four bushels medium
and seven bushels large seed will plant
an acre. A few people claim to get bet
ter crops from large seed than from
small seed, but the experiment stations
of several states fail to find any differ
ence, bit all agree that potatoes grown
from vine cuttings make better seed
than those from slips or DRAWS
late as 100 days before average date of
first frost. One acre planted in earliest
slips will yield vine cuttings sufficient
to plant two acres month later. In
the lower south growers often plant an
acre or two. of cut seed, after the man.
ner of planting Irish potatoes, and from
these get vine cuttings for the remainder
of the crop. At the Alabama station
vine cuttings gave q greater yield than
slips, but at the Louisiana station the
reverse was true. There seems to be
little difference. Potatoes from vine
cuttings are smoother and keep better
than those from slips. Pruning the vines
to obtain cuttings reduces the yield
somewhat and causes larger per &C mt
of small potatoes. Except on cold, wet
soils, level culture or low ridges, Texas,
Georgia and Alabama stations got best
yields from level culture; Louisiana
from high ridges. Rows should be 81
feet apart and plants Is inches apart in
the row for feeble growing varieties, Is
iuches for medium and two feet for rank
growers.
Some succeed with checks 30 inches
each way, and save hoe work Moving
the vines to prevent roofing does not
pay: The Florida station got machine
for $75 which plants and waters three
to six acres per day of sweet potato, to-
bacco, cabbage or tomato plants, when
operated by two horses and three men.
