 About Potatoes.

There is probably no crop largely grown that yields a better profit than the potato crop Yet the per acre yield very largely to poor methods in han ding the soil. The potato accommo- dates itself to many varieties of soil and to all kinds of culture. Perhaps this fact is taken advantage of to too great an extent, and not enough care used in any part of the process of pro- ducing the crop. When we consider that more than 1000 bushels of pota- toes have been raised on an acre in diff ferent parts of the country, and that less than 100 bushels is the ordinary yield, we are forced to believe that we are not using all of our possible ad' vantages.
 The first requisite Is well-prepared land. drained if it so requires. This good preparation means blowing deep enough to admit of the fullest growth of root. Whatever may be said against deep blowing yet it certainly has a tendency to send the roots down be-
 
 often thing of great importance. The writer remembers a little corner in a potato patch in which coal ashes had been thrown. The ground thus in- creased in depth gave moisture to the plants when in all other parts of the patch they were dying for lack of moisture. The probable reason was that in that part the soil was so porous that the roots had been able to strike deep and to reach into stratum Of continuous moisture. This is not to advocate the use of coal ashes as a fer tililer for potatoes, but to illustrate the principle by which a loose soil permits the penetration of roots.
 As to milling there is great diversity of opinion. We know that it is be- coming quite popular to advocate the doing away of the old style of hill-
 ing, and to say that tbe idea of hill- ing was a barbarous one, originating among the bogs of Ireland The whole settlement of the question must de- pend on circumstances. Some varieties , have to be hilled anyway, unless we expect to have some of the potatoes on tep of the ground. The question of moisture runs into that of milling. A certain man some years ago abandoned the milling process and planted all of his potatoes on the level It happened to be an exceptionally wet summer and the entire crop was damaged by lying too much in the water Killing would have done some good in this case.

DESTINY OF THE NEGRO,
Booker T. Washington Tells His Ide,

Booker T. Washington Tells His Idea
 Of 1t.
 Booker T. Washington, principal oi the Tuskegee (Ala.) Normal and In- dustrial institute, addressed the League for Political Education recently on the subject of Race Problems" says the New York Times. He said that the so. lution of the race problem might be summed up in the statement that in proportion as the negroes were inn proved along educational, industrial and moral lines in that same propor- tion would the evils affecting the race be eliminated.
 You cannot, however, said the speaker, bring about these necessary reforms in day or by any short cut. It is a matter of time and patience. Bring proper influence to bear upon the negro, make his environments con- genial and uplifting, work on him not so much directly as uneonsciously, and the matter will in time solve itself For, let me say that we are not going to stay here in order to help you, our government and our country"
 The speaker then referred to the movement some years ago which sought to solve the race problem by transporting negroes to Liberia. But that won't solve it," the speaker add ed "Those people who thought that sending 500 black men to Liberia would be the beginning Of a satisfac- tory ending of the race problem for got that on the very morning that those negroes were transported 600 or more black babies were born. NoE will the problem be solved by putting the blacks in any territory in the west For first, you would have to put up a wall about the territory to keep the negroes in, and then you would have to put up another wall to keep the white men out. No, there is better and higher solution of the difficulty than that. The negroes ought to be taught to do as good work as the white man in agriculture and in all industrial lines. The conditions with which they are surrounded should be studied care fully. They should be taught the dig nity, the beauty and the civilizing pow CT of labor, and that there is no dis grace in any kind of work. Above all they should be educated wherever and as fully as 1t is possible, and then their ignorance would not be made pretext for keeping them down.
 Let me remind you that there are nearly 10,000,0OO of Us, and that wher- ever our life touches yours we either help or hurt you There can be nc separation of our destinies. Let us then settle the problem in sensible and logical manner. Let us, in short make the negro a man so that he can do as much work as white man and meet him with full confidence in business way. Make him a useful and an important member of the commun- lty in which he lives, and then, be- iieve me, he will work out his owA salvation.''
