GROWING IRISH POTATOES.

During the past few years. expert
ments have been conducted by the
Texas station to determine the best
methods of planting, fertilizing, and
storing the Irish potato CROP in south
central Texas. Many varieties have
also been grown to test yields per acre,
keeping qualities and their desirabili-
tv fr ale purposes. In all of the work
recently done, special potato ma
chinery has been employed and its
adaptsbility to local conditions proven.
A full report of these experiments Is
DOW n press and will be published by
the Texas station as bulletin 81. 1t
ill be sent to all applicants for the
horticultural reports issued by the
station.
In testing many forms of fertilizers,
it was found that the largest yield was
secured from manure gathered from
cattle feeding pens and from mule
stables. By the use of these materials,
the yields were more than doubled, as
compared with those secured from I'M
fortified land. The tests we're con-
Quoted upon thin land, hsving.s dark
sandy surface soil and heavy clay sub
soil near the surface, aud 1t is interest
ing to note that the stock manure pro-
duced larger yields than did any OF the
combinations of commercial fertilizers
used ins this series of experiments.
Next in order of value, among the
simple manures. was cotton seed meal
applied at the rate of 500 pounds per
acre, broadcast. This and acid phos-
phate, used singly, produced larger
and cheaper gains than did the other
forms of comm ercial fertilizers.
After several years trial, the station
off cers recommend but one variety OF
potato to be grown for market pur-
poses in THE state-the Bliss Triumph.
Efforts have been made to test here
the relative values of northern and
southern grown seed potatoes of the
same variety. Thus far, the results
are favorable to the Bliss Triumph,
grown in either Arkansas or Virginia,
rather than seed grown in New York
state.
Bulletin No. "a presents the result of
several years experience in growing
second crop potatoes and suggestions
of considerable value are presented by
Prof. Price as to culture, storage value,
aud as to the proper use. or disposition,
OF this crop. The bulletin contains
showing the several forms
of implements and machinery employed
by the horticultural section of the sta
ton in handling the potato crop, some
of which can doubtless be used profit
ably by growers in Texas.

A PHOENIX SOUATTER
Man Who Has Found the Place That
Suits Him

A great deal has been said for the
encouragement of those who desire &c
come west and grow up with the coun
try, but there Is one man in this coun-
ty, says the Arizona Republican, who
Is running the old maxim into the
ground.
He has come west, found what he
thinks is the ideal spot for him, and
having located, he is glued to the
place. He has found his little Eden
in the public highway and is firmly
convinced that there is no other piece
of ground in the world that will an
swer his purposes quite so well.
Mrs. Ismert is the owner of a
ten-scre alfalfa tract in the Greenhaw
addition which was laid out and sub
divided by streets some years ago.
There is q house on the property, a
good well and several other improve
ments, making 1t desirable piece OF
real estate and one that ought to tent
readily. But the owner has been try
ing to rent it for some time without
success, owing to the nearness of her
neigh Dor, who has pitched his tent I'm
der big cotton wood tree in the street
in front of the house, and who has en-
gagged extensively in the raising of
chickens. He shows q further appre-
citation of his surroundings by allowing
his fowls to wander ION her preserves,
drink sparkling water from her we'll,
perch upon her front step and sing and
strut about in her door yard.
Mrs. 1smert, in q neighbOrly wav,
asked the man to move on up the road
or down the road as might be most
convenient. He replied that he was
pretty well satisfied where he was. She
intimated to him that she would like
to rent the place, but could not as long
as he was anchored there. He inferred
