Is THE POTATO KING?
An Allen County Farmer Has Twenty
six Acres Planted.

lola, March 31.-A. L. Townsend of
the Horseshoe Bend neighborhood,
claims to have just finished planting
the largest field of potatoes that has
ever been planted in this county. The
field covers a 26-acre tract, one-third
of which is planted in northern seed.
The seed cost $1.30 and $1.25 Per
bushel. This is Mr.. Townsend's first
experience in large fields but with
favorable weather he expects to reap
good returns.
He is also setting out 5000 cabbage
and tomato plants which he will
place under shingles to protect them
from the late froSts.
Mr.. Townsend also claims the rec
ord for early sweet corn. He has a,
two-acre tract which was sup a
week ago. Mr.. Townsend hopes to
bring the first home grown roasting

WAGNER TO PLAY BALL.
The Great Shortstop Decides Not to
Abandon the Game.

ner, the National Leagues greatest
hitter, has experienced a change of
heart and is now speeding to New
York for a conference with President
Harry Pulliam, of the National League,
regarding the unsigned contract with
the Pittsburg club. He wired to Null
doons farm, where Pulliam is taking
the rest cure, making an appointment
in New York. Wagner said in his tele-
gram that he was ready to reconsider
and climb into the bandwagon.
Fans here are specializing as to how
Pulliam enters the controversy. But
the reason is plain. Pu11iam has al
ways been a warm friend of the great
shortstop since they were connected
with the old Louisville team, Wagner
as a player and Pulliam as secretary.

PREDICT MUCH WHEAT.
Excellent Conditions Prevail Over
Sumner County.

Wellington, March 31.-The Mail
says: Sumner county wheat is now
in as fine condition as ever it was at
this season." last night said an ex-
perienced wheat expert, who returned
in the evening from an extensive trip
over the county.
The route was as follows: yelling
ton to Rome, then to Portland on to
South Haven, back to Rome, thence
to Perth, Milan and Arson. The re-
turn to his city was made yesterday
evening The trip. as the route shows,
covers a great portion of the county's
territory. So a statement this favor
able, after a trip so extensive, is very
pleasing.
On the trip many farmers were
consulted. All of them are very
optimistic and feel that bumper
crop is due. Their optimism is jus
titled, since a broad investigation re-
vealed not one acre of bad wheat.

ALARMING RESULTS
OF CATTLE DISEASE

Washington, Nov. 21.-Alarming
results following an outbreak of a
contagious foot and mouth disease In
New York and Pennsylvania, causing
those states to be quarantined against
interstate shipments OF cattle, etc.,
were shown yesterday in advices
which reached Secretary Wilson, stat
ing that four children in Danville,
Pa, had contracted the disease. A
rigid investigation is in progress in
Danville and elsewhere, to determine
whether others have become similarly
affected.
Officials believe that the spread of
the contagion will be checked, al
though admitting that the situation
is grave, and will require energetic
and concerted action by state and
federal authorities.
