Johns. may elect Of Baker City,
aud OF Cato j. Johns, who may be
the next mayor OF Sumpter.
The elder Johns was one Of the
builders OF the Northwest, an
honored Oregon pioneer. He was
born seventy years ago. In Ohio, re-
moved In 1853 to Indiana, and the
following year joined the exodus to
Kansas, which was then terra in-
cognito. In 1856 he moved to
Jackson county, Missouri, where he
married Miss Elizabeth Anna Darby,
a Kentucky, girl, who is still his
loving and beloved helpmate. accom-
psnyinR him on bis visit to Sump-
ter. lu 1857 the eldest sou, Charles,
WAS horn In Missouri. and the year
following the family started for the
great Oregon .cou.try, via the
Isthmus OF Panama, arriving in
Marion county In 1853. the year
prior to the admission Ut Oregon to
statehood. From Marion county
the Johns moved to Lynn, and in
later years to Gillian. 1t was In
1863 that the elder Jonhs, after
shipping q quantity Of provisions
aud food from Portland to The
Dalles by water, started with q train
of forty pack animals for the mines

first sprout the strongest and the
second sprouting is always weaker
and does not make healthy plant.
The matter of rot was brought up and
he said that he was never troubled
much with this disease as he avoided
it by always using thrifty seed and
paying close attention to cultivation.
Last year he did not lose one per cent
of his potatoes by rot. It was an ad-
vantage to change seed from one soil
to another. He took his potatoes
right out of the cellar and planted
them at once. Quite often his :pota-
toes would get frosted in the fields
though covered up and fully pro-
tected, and this was common occur
renee with most all potato raisers.
He never planted any frosted potatoes.
He kept his potatoes at temperature
of 324 degrees, just apove the freezing
point.
Mr.. Terry took part in the discus
sion and stated that he had double
doors and windows on his cellar and
he kept his stock down about 81 de-
grees. Potatoes must never be placed
right on the bottom of the cellar as
the warmth of the earth would injure
the stock. A temporary floor made of
old boards should be provided so
that the air could circulate under the
potatoes. He always placed his
potatoes in barrels and covered them
so that they would stand tempera-
ture of % degrees and would not be
damaged. One year his seed stock
was not properly looked after while
he was away and the stock sprouted
and got soft. He sent to Caribou,
Maine, for stock which arrived without
sprouting and cost him S4.50 per bar
rel. He planted some of his soft seed
and the crop from this seed sold for
1913 less an acre than that from the
sound stock from Maine.
