A TROUBLESOME M,cRoeE.

While tobacco growers the country
over are pestered with insect enemies
that work more or less damage to their
crops. the worst parasite which some
of the growers In portions OF Kentucky
have to put up with is a two legged
microbe that wears mask. carries a
revolver and makes a practice of set
ting the growers tobacco storehouse
afirc and perhaps killing the owner. So
destructive have the attacks of these
Night Riders been during the past year
that many of the independent tobacco
growers OF the state referred to have
had to vacate their plantations and
move to other states. The motive for
these vicious attacks on the independ-
ents seems to be traceable to their I'M
willingness to have the price at which
they shall sell their product dictated
by the Tobacco Growers association,
through which as result of a mutual
agreement the members have been
able to raise the price of tobacco from
. to is cents a pound. The independ-
ents. not liking dictation as to the
management OF their business and
many of them having insufficient
means to enable them to hold their
product for considerable period OF
time. have sold or offered to sell at
lower prices than those set by the as

Ia prodigiously heavy cropper and some
times called the handsomest potato
grown: tubers white dry and fioury. OF
fine quality and uniform sizeJ
stems above ground and underground
stems or rhizomes on which the tubers
are borne.
AS the underground or tuber bearing
stems bear no roots. they must depend
for their development on the root sys-
tenn of the plant and the leaves and the
plant food which these bring to them.
1t will be seen. therefore. that 1t is Inn
portant to have good root system and
good leaf development In order to
have a good crop of tubers.
The potato appears to thrive best In
moist somewhat cloudy and temperate
climate. but provided there is sut1i-
cient moisture in the soil and the grow
ing season Is long enough 1T is not at
all fastidious Ia this respect 1t Is a
little more particular In the matter OF

When a potato plant is growing four
