EXPERIMENTS
ON SWEET POTATOES

On Saturday last, Jacob H. Rosa re.
ported the results Of some experiments
he tried with fertilizers on sweet pota-
toes last season. He took rows four
teen hundred feet long, eleven rows to
an acre. He used COW pea stubble land
and about One-half ton Of regular sweet
potato fertilizer had been applied on
well worked in. The plants were set
May 10Th. On June 9th Mr.. Rosa ap-
piled on the ground along three lows
muriate Of potash OF the rate Of 22O
pounds to the acre. There was a net
gain Of lO2 baskets Of potatoes or a
gain OF about $500 per acre. On three
other rows at the same date nitrate Of
soda at the rate Of 10 pounds per acre
was used. There was a marked change
IN the plants inside Of two weeks On
these rows there was a net gain of Sc
baskets per acre or a gain Of about $40
per acre. Mr.. Rosa also tried nitrate Of
soda on Lucretis dew. berries, He used
one pound to a row and the quantity
was so small he had to add two pounds
of potash so the men could put it on.
There came a rain that night and the
effect Of the nitrate Of soda was soon
very marked.
Mr.. Howe tried nitrate Of soda on
dew berries aud also the Lovetts leav-
ing some rows without the nitrate and |
could see no results at all from the nit

whether or not there was any extra

there might be something lacking in
the soil as there must be plenty Of pot
ash and phOsphOric acid to get results

Some discussion followed as to
or not it was profitable to
grow lima beans for market. A mum

The Orchestra Leader Collapsed.

Orchestra leadeTs-and musicians as
class-sTe perhaps more imaginative
than other people. Probably it was
for this reason or because OF his being
seated so close to the picture that caused
it all. Anyway this is what happened.
Lyman H. Howe was exhibiting "The
Runaway Train" which is included in
the new program at ArmOry Hall,
Wednesday night, February 18th. As
the admiring audience speeds through
the glorious Alpine scenery, the mo.
mentum OF the train increases until it
reaches an alarming pace. 1t rushes
at a terrific speed around curves, along
the brink Of yawning abysses and
finally hurls down steep incline into
the depot Simultaneous with it's
crash, there was a crash in the Orches
ira pit The orchestra leader had fallen
from grace and his elevated seat in the
pit and toppled over the railing into
the centre aisle. The perfect illusion
and great realism Of the picture COM
pletely OveTcame his consciousness !
His susceptibility was such that in the
he imagined himself, for the
moment, LAUGHED into eternity with the
train. In an instant the theatre lights
were turned on revealing the collapsed /.
leader recovering himself and dignity
to the great amusement ofthe audience.
To them the only wreck in sight was
the broken rail and leader.
