SOIL FOA POTATOES.
Characteristics of the Ground Best
Adapted to the Tuber.

The success of the potato crop de-
Eends very much upon the texture of
the soil in which the potatoes are
planted. It is fact we'll understood
by many farmers that there are many
soils on which potatoes do not do
we'll A too heavy, compact clay does
not permit the potatoes to develop
to advantage. 1t may be, too, that
in such soil the organisms that elab-
crate food do not have the same op-
portunity to secure air and therefore
the carbon with which to work.
On the other hand, too loamy soil.
a soil with too much of humus, does
not give large enough tuber. as re-
lated to the top. The best soils seem
to be those that have been created
by the southwark movement of the
great glaciers, which ground to atoms
the stones taken from northern lati-
loose enough to permit the air to work
downward without drying out the
films of moisture surrounding the soil
particles. At the same time such a
soil permits the easy penetration of
the roots Of the potatoes.
A good potato soil is frequently in
clined to rockiness, the rocks being
the coarser remains of the glaciers
that helped to make the soil. That
the soil has all enormous influence on
the successful growing of potatoes is
abundantly proven by the way in
which the crop succeeds in spots.
Thus, in Wisconsin, there is section
of country near the middle Of the
state, a wedgeshaped piece, on which
wonderful yields of potatoes have
been obtained even in years when
the crop generally was failure

BUILDING WIRE FENCES.
How One Man Can Put 1t Up and
Stretch Ii Himself.

One man can build a wire fence un
a horse with pair of front wheels
near to the fence. Put an iron rod
about two feet long, or crowbar,
through the holes in the wire reel and
let it go down in the hole where the
rocker bolt goes through the axle.
Fasten one end of the wire to
post or tree where you wish to start
from, then drive the horse as near to
the posts as convenient, and in most
cases you need not stop. unless the
wire catches. until you have run out
a whole reel. Then fasten the wire
around the axle, tie rope about ten
feet from the axle and bring it around
a post or tree. Start the horse, and
when you get hard strain on the
will need a steady horse, as one that
does not pull steadily is liable to
break the wire
After the wire is stretched, says
Farm and Home, and made fast by the
rope start with hammer and staples
where you first fastened it. Lift it IA
feet or more from the ground, and 90
along to each post and drive your
staple about half way in until you
reach the end. If the posts are not
on straight line you may have to
siacken the wire, otherwise you may
have to draw strain on it the second
time. Start again at the further end
and drive the staples in tight.
In putting up the next two wires
proceed in the same way and spread
them apart the length of your hammer
handle on each post and you will have
fence that no COW can get through,
and if they go over fence of that
height they are only fit for the beef
barrel.

PROPOSED $15,000,o00 COMPANY
TO DEVELOP ARKANSAS
VALLEY,
ACTION AT La JUNTA
TOWNS REPRESENTED FROM GAR.
DEN CITY, kAs., TO CANON
CITY, COLO.

La Junta, Colo-At a meeting at
tended by nearly 400 delegates from
towns along the Arkansas valley from
Garden Cits, Kansas, to Canon City.
Colorado, Thursday. plans were
launched for the organization Of $751;
100000 electrical power and railroad
company which will connect all the
important towns Of the valley by an
interurban line and will reclaim fully
100000 acres Of arid land.
A committee of thirteen was Sc
lected, which will meet here in few
days, perfect the organization and take
steps to incorporate the company,
which will be known as the Kansas
Colorado Power & Railroad Company.
The principal speaker was A. B.
Hulit, representative OF the Northern
Electrical Manufacturing Company of
Madison, Wisconsin, which company
proposes to make the surveys, furnish
the equipment for the power plants,
etc. 1t is expected that those of the
Arkansas valley who will be benefited
by the huge project will take large
share of the stock.
Resolutions were unanimously
adopted strongly indorsing the project.
The committee of thirteen appointed
to perfect the organization follows:
Hon. Alva Adams, Pueblo; Andrew
Mcclellan, Pueblo; S. H. Atwater,

LEAF CURL IN POTATOES.
San Be Prevented by Handling Of Po-
* tatoes Before Planting.

II To prevent leaf curl in potatoes do
mot expose the tubers on dry shelves
sAll the winter where they are likely

Sand thus lose certain amount of
moisture after every frost when the
Temperature rises outside again.
u Instead, pie the tubers down for
Gthe winter exclude air and thus pre-
went shriveling, which is greater evil
than the loss of a sprout.
Allow sufficient time to elapse be-
fore covering for the winter, SO that
heat Is not generated when a guam
! tity is placed together: this is regu-
lated according to the soil and the
kind Of weather in lifting time.
Never use the well-netted, highly
ripened tubers for planting purposes.
Plant much later for stock purposes,
more especially if you persist in re
planting your own produce. This ap-
plies to all soils. only doubly so to
poor. dry, sandy land.
l do not think, says writer in
Farmers Voice. anyone can realize the
Importance of planting unripened
tubers for giving increased vigor un-
less they themselves set to work and
test it.
Earth. plaster. cement or brick
floors are far better than dry boarded
floors for storing upon, because they
are colder. II the tubers are not
pied down, cold underground cellars
are the best places to store in for the
winter.

Colorado's Fruit Exhibit.

At the fruit exhibit of the Depart
men OF Horticulture, Cornell univel.
sity, New York, in November last.
says the Cornell Countryman probably
the most interesting exhibit of fruit
from single state was that from Col
orado, which took first prize for the
best general exhibit The fruit showed
very plainly the very remarkable dit-
ference in varieties produced under
different methods of cultivation and
conditions Of climate. The Colorado
apples, grown under irrigation and in
a dry climate, were uniformly larger
and higher colored than those grown
in the more humid climate Of the
Northwestern states.

Indicted in Federal Court.

Denver.-The federal grand jury re-
ported to Judge Lewis Thursday re-
turning sixty-five bills of Indictment.
The report OF the grand jury embodies
pertinent opinion rather in the ma
ture of a recommendation, reading as
follows: I'VE believe that 1t is our
duty to call attention to the fact that
it is our opinion from an examination
of the matters coming before us, that
the registers and receivers of land Of
fices and other persons authorized to
take proofs in land cases, should ex-
ercise more caution and common sense
in such matters. Ordinary care, eau
tion and honesty on the part of those
officials would, in our opinion, prevent
many frauds upon the government, and
largely eliminate the most serious
class Of cases with which we have to
deal; viz.-rerjury in relation to pub
lie lands"
The Yampa Live Stock Company, a
well known Denver corporation, is
among thos indicted. The offense al
legged is Illegal inclosure of land, the
property in question Is said to be a
horse pasture on the company's big
ranch in Routt county.
The indictment against Franklin
Barnes was not unexpected, as he has
been involved in several law suits, the
government asking damages for cut
ting timber from public lands. Two
suits are now pending in the courts,
and this indictment is the criminal
end of the matter. Barnes is alleged
to have cut 100000 feet of timber
from the reserves in San Miguel
county, and suits to recover damages
to the amount of $4,000 have been in
stituted.
Shepherd Hustled, former supervisor
of the Medicine Bow national forest,
with headquarters at Estes Park, was
indicted in connection with Warren
Rutledge and John Rausch. Hustled
was permitted to resign from the gov
ernment service last fall. The forest
service in an examination discovered
his connection with the filing Of a
homestead claim adjoining his prop
erty in Estes Park. Hustled, with Rut-
ledge, was witness for Rausch in his
proof filings for the location of the
claim. The testimony in the case, it
is alleged, was proven false.
The posta! law offenses are those of
Postmasters William E. Avery of EN-.
pire Colorado, and Chas. NJ. Yutz Of
Jefferson, Colorado. Avery was short
81, 900 in his accounts, and his actions
are alleged to have indicated pecu.
liarities other than embezzlement. He
has been ont on bond since his arrest.
YutZ fled while Inspector Gregg was
making an examination OF that Office,
and has never been heard from since.
The indictment against Benca
Branca of Pueblo. alleged macquereau,
who was arrested on the charge OF
trafficking in white slaves, may result
in term of imprisonment for the man
and the deportation of the young
woman who was arrested with him.
1t Is the first case of the kind to come
before grand jury for several years.
Charles o. Erbaugh of Denver. who
escaped his Indictment by the grand
Jury on account Of a technicality, will
have to answer the charge of fraudu-
lent use Of the mails on a re-indict-
ment in connection with patent cases.

SENATOR TELLER'S ENDORSE.
MENT.
United States Senate. Washington.

United States Senate, Washington,
l.. c.. April %, 1908.
Mr.. +. j. Cory, Sioux Falls, S. D.,
Dear Sir:-I have felt considerable
concern over the report in the news
papers that Senator Kittredge is
meeting with serious opposition to
his reelection.
! hope these reports are without
foundation, and that if there is a
basis for them. the senator will be
able to overcome all obstacles and
that he will be triumphantly return
ed
My interest in the subject is based
upon direct observation of Mr.. Kit
tredges career as senator and up
on my desire that the western states
should keep their strong men in
Washington. A western man myself
take especial pride in seeing the
states OF the west properly repre-
sentea here, where all those states
nave common interests in the promo
ton of which they often meet with
much antagonism. / have always
found Senator Kittredge not only
loyal to every western interest. but
on account of his intelligent compre-
hension and standing as a senator,
capable of promoting those interests
to degree quite beyond a less loyal
or less influential man.
That he has done faithful and eff
cient work for his state, and, in a
broader sense, for the nation, | also
know to be true.
Int word, / have found in Senator
Kittredge a faithful and effective
representative of all interests which
1t has been his duty to conserve.
whether state. sectional or national.
Very few men have attained to
position of such influence in the high
councils of the senate in SO short
time and | can hardly believe that
so young state as South Dakota,
which must necessarily ask much
from congress, would voluntarily put
him aside for less experienced man
who might not, as few do, possess
the qualities which would give him
influence and who, at any rate. must
require some time to attain to the
point of vantage already occupied by
Mr.. Kittredge.
| have always found him loyal to
his convictions, firm in the advocacy
OF what he believed to be right, new
er easily swerved by passing agita
tion and ever intelligent and patriot
ic in his treatment Of public ques-
tions, and such | believe to be the
best type of public man.
If South Dakota must keep a re-
publican senator here | do not be-
lieve she can do better than return
Mr. Kittredge and l. hope that will
be done. Very Truly Yours,

But the Crawford managers cant

While the statement concerning the
alleged deal between Johnson and an
Aberdeen banker" is based wholly
upon fabrication, deliberate and ma
licious, not being word or truth In
1t, what of 1t even IL it were true?
Johnson stands eQuiv0cally commit
ted to the policy of turning over to the
state every cent received In the way
of interest on state funds, while Cas-
sill's intimate friends admit, openly
admit, that Cassiil has been grating
this interest during his whole term
thus far.
Mr.. johnson, regardless of where
the funds may be deposited. stands
pledged to give the people the benefit
of all income from public moneys in
his possession, while Cassill still clings
to this income.
Johnson's candidacy Is based upon
the square deal with regard to inter
est ON state funds. while GNssill's can
didacy is based upon the cry that the
state treasurer is justified In grating
this interest SO long as he can keep
out of the penitentiary in SO doing.

or constitutional requirements through

MENT.

Washington, d. c., April 2. 1908.
Hon. John Reierson, President Scan
dinovian Republican League, Davi.
son County, Mitchell, s. ID.
Dear Sir:-Your favor OF March
2Sth. asking my views as to the stand
ing, services, and qualifications OF
Senator Kittredge as senator and as
to whether he has worked in harmony
with the president, is at hand.
In reply / desire to say that so far
as | know he has supported all the
prominent measures recommended by
the administration. He was particu-
larly active in helping to secure pas
sage OF the railway rate bill, and on
that subject was entirely in harmony
with the president, and SO far as
know he has the full confidence Of
both the president and Secretary Taft.
| may say that on all great public
questions he has always been on the
side Of what | term reform and on
the side of the people. He sits quite
near me in the senate chamber and
usually confers with me about public
questions when they come up for con-
Sideration, and hardly know of an in
stance where he has not assumed the
same attitude and taken the same
course on public matters that | have.
In fact, | have always felt that I
could rely upon him for help to secure
the passage OF any measure that |
deemed for the best welfare of the
people. Senator Kittredge is one OF
the most energetic and Industrious
members of the senate. / have serv-
ed with him for several years on the
judiciary committee, which deals with
important legal and constitutional
questions, and | have always found
his judgment clear and sound and
have found him ever ready to take q
broad and liberal view of all questions
that appertain to the rights of the
people. His standing in the senate
is excellent; in fact, none of the
younger senators are held in Better
repute or have more friends in this
body. While Senator Kittredge does
not pretend to be great orator yet
in all the hard work that goes to for
mulate and prepare legislation and
get In shape for final action, he is
as active, efficient, and energetic as
any member of this body. | think
your young state is very fortunate,
indeed, in having such an able repre-
sentative in the senate as Senator
Kittredge. Yours truly.
-Knute Nelson.
