4 New Potato Culture.

A queer tale in agriculture comes by
way of Chicago. 1t is stated that n
half -bushel of sawdust. Il dash of
chemical solution and fifteen potatoes
carefully enveloped with the sawdust
will enable the average householder to
grow 4 bushel of tubers on his house
top or in his cellar within sixty days.
This process has been discovered and
elaborated by w. ID. Darst, of Great
Falls. Mont. Moreover. the grower
will have no potato bugs to contend
with. no turning over of the soil at
certain intervals, and no contest with
worms.
ne product of Mr. Darst's process
Is termed the 'vineless potato" from
the fact that, grown under these ap-
parently unnatural conditions, there is
no surface vegetation, because Of
which, each potato buried in the saw
dust is enabled to produce at least
twelve normal-sized tubers.
Recently at the Oakland Plaza, Ii
the rear of the Oakland Hotel, Mr..
Darst disclosed the methods of grow
ing potatoes by his system. Operating
on the theory that the presence of sur
face vegetation was only method of
securing nourishnent and in reality
sapped the vitality of the tuber. Mr..
Darst experimental more than six
years and found he could overcome
this seemingly natural course on the
part Of the plant by supplying it arti-
ticially with it's needs.
By employing sawdust. peat. straw,
or any other earth product that would
permit of the circulation of air. moist
ure and heat, and by applying solutions
of various fertilizers, discovered
that a single potato would multiply
itself by attaching to itself from
twelve to sixteen other potatoes of
approximately the same dimensions
without throwing Off any of it's energy
above ground.

matter Of fact. what are commonly re-
garded as the petals OF the dogwO0d
are no part of the floral structure at
all, but merely four large white leaves,
which, during the winter. served AZ
protective wrappers to the Hover buds.
The real howe IS are about the size OF

blossoms in May frequently makes
whole meadows rosy with brilliant

are looking at pike of gorgeous,
tlame-colored flowers. while the fact
is that the striking effect is produced
entirely by numerous reddened leaves
intermingled with the real flowers
which are as plain as Cindere 3

TOMATOES
POTATOES
GUY ELLIOTT MITCHELL

I0ma.0eS For the Cannecy..
Raising tomatoes for the canneries
has grown to be quite an industry in
number of States. Maryland leads
the list with about two million cases
per annum; Indiana, with her million
cases, second; followed, in turn, by
New Jersey. California. Delaware and
Ohio. The canneries are permanent
institutions. the demand is increasing,
and there is no reason why the grow
ing of tomatoes will not continue to be
profitable business with many
Growing tomatoes for cannery diff
Yers from raising them for the market.
In the former case, first of all, large
yield is sought. Early maturity IS of
less Importance since the grower con-
tracts to sell the whole crop at fixed
price. 1t is said that good corn land
is rich enough for tomatoes, although
medium clay loan is preferred by
many.
Splendid results follow fall or winter
plowing. AT any rate land should be
plowed as early in the spring as pos
sible. Plow deep and follow with
earth mulching. that is, maintain q
thin layer of fine earth on the surface
by shallow cultivation, which will be
of great value in saving the moisture.
The variety should be such as the
canneries prefer. They will generally
provide the plants at Il nominal price
to those who grow tomato IS for them.
In case it is preferred to grow the
plants near where they are to be set,
they should be started in cold frame
or on the south side of a board fence
in rich warm SOIL The plants will
increase to proper size in four or five
weeks, and should be set out in the
field in rows about four feet apart, for
ease of cultivation. Start the cultiva-
tion early, but be careful not to bark
the plants. as that will kill them.
When they begin to branch do not
cultivate closer than the ends Of II
branches. Continue stirring the soil
The Greeley tribune., 1906-07-26

until the stalk has grown SO heavy as
to fall upon the ground, then cease.
For heavy yields it is essential that
strong land or heavy fertilization be
used. While it is true that on many
of the soils in the Middle States re-
munerative crop may be produced with
little fertilization. 1t is also true thai
on nearly all of these soils liberal
use Of fertilizers will be profitable.
The tomato plant is a gross feeder,
and especially requires an abundant
supply of potash. Prof voorhees,, of
New Jersey, who is authority on such
subjects, estimates that ten tons of
fruit, with the accompanying vines,
would contain fifty-seven pounLs of
nitrogen, sixteen pounds of phosphOric
acid. and ninety-four pounds of potash.
On many of our clay lands phosphoric
acid is relatively low, and the applica-
tion of potash is needle to pre- .uce the
most profitable crops. The nitrogen
supply is more variable, and can often
be secured by turning under legumi-
nous crop. On Eastern lands, which
have been devoted to last years toma-
toes, nitrate Of soda can be used with
profit. In the Central States, manu-
facturers of fertilizers have not offered
goods specially prepared for this vege
table because OF lack of demand, due
largely to the ignorance of same, and
from lack of knowledge of the require
ments of the soil. But Of late both the
growers and the Gamers are asking for
advice regarding fertilizers to be used
on tomatoes. A mixture that has been
officially recommended contains:
Nitrogen ........ 4 per cent.
PhOsphOric acid... z per cent.
Potash ..........12 per cent
using about 500 pounds of this mixture
per acre.
Some experiments Of early tomatoes
seem to indicate that sulphate of
potash gives them a better quality.
A properly made tobacco fertilizer is
also suited for this crop, and the
potash in it is derived from sulphate.

one, but the idea is to present some
important features often overlooked
by the builder and which are vital

The amount Of space allowed for
the various purposes named on the

to the needs Of the particular location.
The design calls for a width of 80

Do You Want to Know
 What You Swallow ?

There is growing sentiment in this country in favor of MEDICINES OF KNOWN COMPOSITION. It is but natural that one should have some interest Tn the compo- sitiOn Of that which he or she is expected to swallow, whether 1t be food, drink or medicine.
 Recognizing this growing disposition on the part of the public, and satisfied that the fullest publicity can only add to the well-earned reputation of his medi- cineS. Dr. R. V. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y., has taken time by the fOrelOck," as it were. and is publishing broadcast a list of all the ingredients entering into his leading medicines, the "Golden Medical Discovery" the popular liver invigorator, stomach tonic, blood purifier and heart regulator; also of his UFavorite Prescrip- tiOn for weak, over worked, broken down. nervous and invalid women.
 This bold and out-spoken movement on the part of Dr. Pierce, has, by showing exactly what his well-known medicines are composed of, completely diSarmed all harping critics who have heretofore un- justly attacked them. A little pamphlet has been compiled, from the standard medical authorities of all the several schools of practice, showing the strongest endorsements bV leading medical writers of the several ingredients which enter into Dr. Pierce'S medicines. A copy of this little book is mailed free to any one de- siring to learn more concerning the Valu- able, native, medicinal plants which enter into the composition of Dr. Pierce'S med icines.

 THE VALUE OF REcORDs-It seems almost useless waste of ener- Gy sometimees to devote so much eff fort as is always necessary in public offices, for the keeping of duplicate records, letters, copies, files, etc, when it is considered that not once in a hundred times are these old archives referred to again. But the value of them is demonstrated in the great satisfac- tion an official has in pulling the doc uments when he really does need them. Even good business men make mis- takes and are Woefully forgetful all of which makes these things necessary. An incident of the office of the secre- tary of Arizona is a case in point. and Assistant Secretary L. w. Collins. is the official who is gloating over the fact that he was loaded when the other fellow began to bluff. Not long ago the San Francisco office of a certain insurance company wrote to the secre- tary's office q very courteous letter. saying that all its local records had been destroyed and asking that d du- plicate copy of the company's annual statement, filed with the secretary. be made and forwarded together with d bill for whatever the expense might be.

 OFFICERS CoMMISSIONED-Gov- ernor Kibbey has issued commissions to three new officers of company l. N. G. A. stationed at Flagstaff as follows: George r. Campbell. captain; Abizer J. LeBaron. first lieutenant; and Edward r. Hastings. second lieutenant.
 PAROLE ISSUED-Governor Kib- hey yesterday issued the papers parOl- ing Sidney NJ. Page, in accordance with the recommendation of the board Of control. mentioned a couple of days ago. Page was sentenced to the peni- tentiary about seven years ago for the killing of a man near Wilcox. The pa role provides that his conduct shall be exemplary and that he shall carry no arms.

 GOVERNOR GOES EAST-Govern- or and Mrs. J. II. Kibbey left last night via the southern route for a more or less extended visit in the east. They have been planning for some time to make summer visit in Indiana but only recently decided upon so eearly a departure. It is quite likely that the governor will go on to New York and Boston also. in which event he will un- doubtedly go to Washington for a stay of day or two. He will be absent for two or three weeks and perhaps for q month.
 WAITING FOR THE TRACK Temporarily the grading crews on the Arizona and California road have been laid off, the discontinuance being con- sidered advisable on account of the distance the graders were ahead of the track layers. All supplies as well as water for the several gangs had to be carted for considerable distance from the present terminus of the road and thls was a great expense. The track layers have been retarded by lack of noth ues and rails and because of this their progress has been much slower than was originally estimated by the engineers. It was at one time thought
