Some growers assert that the depth
at which the seed potato is planted has
nothing to do with the distance of the
sets below the surface. 1t has not ev-
erything to do with 1.-THE variety and
the season and the soil are factors-but
am sure depth of planting has much
to do with it. Since have been plant
more laborlous. says Alva Agee in The
National Stockman. With level cult

ing of the potatoes. When the pota-
toes are planted shallow, ridging Is
often needed to prevent sunburning.

"lHE MAN WITH TIE HoE.'
Bowed BY the weight Of centuries he leans
Upon his hoe and gazes on the ground
The emptiness OF ages IN his face,
And on his back the burden Of the world
Who made him dead to rapture and despair
A thing tina, gteves not and that never hopes
stolid and stunned, brother to the OK
Who loosened and let down his brutal Jaw!
Whose was the hand that slanted back this brow
Whose breath blew out the light within his brainE
Is this the thing the Lord God made and gave
To have dominion over and land;
To trace the stars and search the heavens for power
To feel the passion Of Eternity?
Is this the Dream He dreamed who shaped the suns
And pillared the blue armament with light:
Down all the stretch OF Hell 10 It's last guilt
There is no shape more terrible than this
More toppued with censure of the worlds blind greed
More filed with signs and portents for the soul
More frauebt with menace TO the universe,

Slave of the wheel Of labor. what to him
Are Plato and the swing of Pleades!
What the long reaches Of the peaks OF song,
The rift OF dawn, the reddening Of the rose?
Through this dread shape the suffering ages look
Times tragedy Is in that aching stoop;
Through this dread shape humanity betrayed,
Plundered, profaned, and dslnherited,

Touch 1t again with immortality;

Rebuild in it the music and the dreami
Make right the immemoria nfamies,

O masters lords and rulers in all lands,
How will the Future reckon with this Man?
How answer his brute question IN that hour
When whrlwinds Of rebellion shake the world?
How will it be with kingdoms and with kings
With those who shaped him to the thing he IS
When this dumb Terror shall reply to God,

"iHE MAN WHO Wins TIE COW. "
Much is being said at the present day,
OF the man, :who. behind the gun doth lay,
And not whit Of honor which is his due,
Would detract from his fame or uster's hue.
And also another mighty man, of late,
Like one being borne along on the wings ofiate,
Has stepped into the very front, and just now,
All homage is paid to "The man behind the plow.'
But Ishave in mind a man, whom, It seems to me,
Is as busy as the ever humming bee,
And as worthy of esteem and honor, allow
1t is the man, yes. "The man who milks the COW"
Now, the man behind the gun is all right,
But he is useful only when in a fight;
And this great and mighty man behind the pillow,
Onyl6oyy0aoS his fame from the man who miks
the COW.
Yes. am for the man who milks the COW,
For who can imagine what a terrible row,
Would at once be started all hearts in a flut,er
II our fair land was deprived of its milk and butter.
Methinks the commoon would be on such a scale,
That all efforts for peace would utterly fail;
Showing that tranquility depends not the
Of the pillow,
But rather upon him, who quietly milks the cow
II is not true that so much depends this wonder
full man,
This man of the pillow, so suddenly forced into the
van,
That without him, even our Legislative bust
ness would stop,
And on the door would be posted, "Closed is
this shop
But this man of the COW, we can most ruthfully
say,
That all business upon his broad shoulders does
lay,
For he furnishes the bone, the muscle, and the
brain,
So essential for peaceful and happy domain.
So milk from the east west, north, and the south,
Will continue to be sweet diet in every mouth
While words of good cheer and blessings forever
vow,
Will be showered upon the man who mks the cow
Thus will we honor, because honor we must
And brighten the luster of his ame it is but just,
or him who holds so much more than the pow,
The one whose praise we sing, the man who milks
the cow

"THE MAN BEHIND THE PLoW."
