VIZ AsHINGToN. = Capt. Richmond

VIZ - Capt. Richmond
w Pearson Hobson. of Merrimac
fame, is going to play some practical
politics for a change. The former
naval officer and advance agent Of a
billion-dollar navy is thought by many
to have become a rather astute poll
tician. His latest is the develop
ment of a scheme that promises to
make no end of trouble for the scien-
tific departments of the government.
The captain has borrowed from the
agricultural department an expert on
road building, one on soils, one on
cotton growing and one on forestry.
From the post Office department he
has obtained the loan Of rural free
delivery expert.
With this menage and accompanied
by his wife, the captain is going to
make a months tour Of his Alabama

Seed Potatoes.

In the cutting of seed potatoes, It
has been found advisable not to leave
too many eyes to each piece. Too
many stalks means light stalks, which
can be blown down more easily than
large stalks. Probably too many
stalks mean too many roots and the
formation Of too many tubers for
many of them to be of good size. Lit
tie potatoes are not marketable, no
matter how good the variety may be.
For some years there was quite fu-
rore for the growing Of potatoes from
whole potatoes as seed, but there is
probably nothing gained by this prac-
tice, and there is considerable loss
Of seed material. Probably the very
old practice of cutting to two eyes is
as good as any.

SUCCESS WITH POLE BEANS.
Some Suggestions az to Cultivation by
One Who Knows.

Lima beans will grow and do well
in any fair garden or corn land, but
will yield better and be more profit
able II put on a good sandy loam
well drained and sloping a little
toward the south.
We prepare the ground carefully
plowing, narrowing and dragging with
plank drag to put land in good condi
ton.
Then we set the poles three by three
and one-half feet widest apart east
and west, for we cultivate only one
way, through the widest spaces.
A pole six to seven feet Is long
enough. We set them before planting
leaning poles to the north little. In
setting poles we use a sharp, round
stake, driving Il one foot into the
ground then remove and put In pole
as tight as possible.
The beans are planted II ground
and weather are warm, about May Is,
in latitude of central Illinois.

pressing each bean into the ground,

pole beans we make place about two
inches deep around each pole, then
drop beans and cover with hoe.

Up to the present time this vehicle

that the prevailing high price of horse
