POTATOES PLANTED FOUR INCHES
DEEP.
fnaEt agricultural implements in the
world, our average yield for the past
tenEyears is but S5 bushels per acre.
Ii view of our present knowledge. it
seems that about four inches is the
best depth at which to plant If plant
ed shallower, there is likely to be
LARGE. number of sunburnt tubers; and
il deeper, the cost of harvesting ex-
ceeds the value of the increased yield.
The depth of planting influences the
deash at which the tubers form; and it
hapl been found that tubers which de-
vesep about three or four inches below
tho surface are more uniform in tex
tufe, of better cooking quality and of
bester flavor than those grown nearer

A Good Show.

The Gilmore Sisters captured the
theatre patrons in Union City last
Friday night They came here in
vehicle called The Raiah of
Bhong,' accompanied by very ex.
cellent support, and appeared at
Reynolds Opera House. The house
was comfortably filed, up stairs
and down. The first act of this
musical melange pleased immense
ly, but failed to warm up the circula.
! tion to any considerable extent. It
was smooth and well drilled, but
lacking in humorous or dramatic
situation. 1t was, however, FORE
taste of something good, and those
who were present had no excuse to
be disappointed. The introduction
of Buster Brown by the sisters was
the turning point which caused
those who were accustomed to first
class productions to realize that
they were facing a couple of artists
of the first rank. II was irresist-
ible, coup de grace-the only
genuine Buster Brown presentation
ever seen here, and the audience
fairly went wild with enthusiasm
as the little ladies bowed their exit
So entirely different was this pro.
duction from some of those which
are usually seen here that it was
positively refreshing and extremely
encouraging. 1t is a very easy and
pleasant duty to compliment a pro-
duction having some claims to mer-
it, hence we take great pleasure in
acknowledging the good fortune en-
iuyed by theatre goers here in wit
