John w. Poe is prominently con
nected with the history of New Mex
leo, and today is one of the most
highly esteemed citizens of Roswell.
He was BORN in Mason county, Ken
lucky, October 18th, 1850.
"His education was acquired in
the public schools of his native coun-
ty, pursuing his studies through the
winter season, while in the summer
months he aided in the labers On the
farm. Ambitious to make his own
way in the world, Mr.. Poe left home
without the consent Of his parents,
when he was 16 years of age, and
went to Kansas City, Missouri.
From there he drifted through
Kansas to FIT. Griffin, Texas, arriving
in 1872, where and when his connec
ton with the Southwest really begani
He worked at all kinds of hard labor,
and was ley known to look for an
easy job, but was always looking for
the most remunerative one.
Buffalo Hunter.
new field of endeavor, that of buffalo
hunting. Forming a partnership with
a Mr.. jacobs, he secured a hunting
outfit and carried on thai business I'm
til the early summer of 1878.
"Mr. Poe was a good shot, and did
the shooting for the outfit, killing 90,
900 buffalo himself. He killed 1000
at one camp, and sold GOAL buffalo
hides in n pile. The business prov
ed. a profitable one and in 1877 they
bought a flock of sheep, Mr.. Jacobs
taking charge of the sheep while Mr..
Poe continued the buffalo hunting.
During the second winter, howev-
er, more than half of their sheep were
lost on account of the severity of the
weather, and the following spring
the remainder were sold but the loss
was a heavy me-. During the buffa-
10 hunt, they were frequently harass-
ed by the Indians, and always expect
ed trouble during the eight of the
moon"
"Once they stole him out "slick
and clead" and left hin afoot, ESQ
miles out on the plains, away from
any settlement.
In 1878 he returned to Fl. Griffin
and for one year filled the position of
town marshal, by appointment. FIT.

LOSS IN POTATO CROP.
Spraying as Preventive of Late
Blight and Rot.

AS the country becomes older para
site diseases and insects multiply.
While in the great potato lands of the
west the plant grows luxuriantly and
may be but little injured by blight or
insects, in some other sections these
often cause the loss of one-half of
what the land would produce without
them, and farmers have become so
used to this loss that they DO not see
the damage and count this half crop n
full crop. The accompanying cut aft
er Coburnl shows an entire healthy
potato plant When one recalls I'm com
parlson with this the plants so often
seen rlddled by flea beetles, eaten by
bugs, blighted by fungous diseases, the
great lessening of the crop Is made
more apparent Late blight Is the last
enemy OF tho season to be reckoned
wi.n.
One of the most serious results Of
the late blight Is the decay of the tu-
bers following an attack of this dis
ease. The rottlng begins before the
potatoes are dug aud may continue
after they are stored. The early blight
Is not associated with rottlng of the
potatoes.
From observations made at the Ohio
experiment station it would seem that
little can be done In the way, of over
coming this disease by the selection of
varieties or hills, as compared with
what may be accomplished in the case
of the early blight. Spraying, howev-
er, is much more effective In lessening
the damage from the late than from
the early blight.
The station reports that in 1905 on
plots that had already been sprayed

lead later sprayings were made with
bordeaux on Aug. 3, Is and 20. The
vines were given thorough spraying
each time, and the formula used was
four pounds of blue vitriol and four
pounds OF quickllme to fifty gallons of
water
Soon after the spraying of Aug. .
had been made the vines on the un-

difference between the sprayed and the
unsprayed vines became more marked
each day until the list of September,
when the unsprayed vines were dead
and the sprayed vines were blighting
very little.
At digging time the average gain Of
the sprayed over the unsprayed por-
tlon was 36 per cent, or 50 bushels per
acre The Geneva IN. " station has

ments with farmers I'm different parts
of that state and has reported that "in
