Jolly GOOD LUCK"

Tuesday evening the main audi
forum Of the Congregational Church
was nicely filled to hear Mr.. Frank
lin Pierce Jolly deliver his popular
lecture on Jolly Cook Luck !"
Mr.. jolly on his visit three years
ago, made many friends in kenne-
wick who were glad of the oppor-
tunity to hear him again. He ex-
GELS in descriptive power, his des-
cription of the Galveston disaster
and the Grand Canyon of the Col
orado being particularly fine.
His theme was that there is moth
ing in life that just happens. Luck
means effort. The man who wolks
is the man who wins. To work to
advantage one must have a sound
body. To have a sound body one
must be happy. Happiness is not
accidental but cultivated. The
happy man is great inspiration to
other men; you get what you look
for; you can't beat down the price
without purchasing inferiority; you
meet what you are in life. There
fore be jolly, make yours trials
count to your best advantage. Of
ten these are what enable you to
produce your best.

gave a yield Of seven bushels to the
acre more than two eye pieces and fif-
teen bushels more than one eye pieces.
The seed potatoes should be kept in
a dark place until planting time to
keep them from sprouting as much as
possible New sprouts will grow If
the old ones are broken off, but they
will not be as strong. If the seed is
at all scaDby it should be treated be-
fore planting. This is done by soak
ing the tubers for two hours in solu-
ton of one pound of formalin to forty
gallons of water Afterward the po-
tatoes should be spread out to dry
and then cut. The cutting should not
be done until just before planting. as
otherwise they will shrivel and lose
some of their vitality. The plan OF
getting the seed potatoes cut several
weeks or even days before planting Is
not to be commended. Even if the seed
thus prepared is kept in a dark cellar
the starchy part of the tuber Is GER
tain to lose much Of its freshness. ana

3E'OA taut ludt The potato
crop be made to yield as
much as possible. With the right kind
OF care yields of 200 to 500 bushels to
the acre can be obtained, making this
one OF the most profitable crops that
can be grown. Even with the most
careless treatment the tuber frequent.
~ yields most generously.
The potato is very particular in its
Soil requirements. A rich sandy loan
Is the best soil. Not all farms have
such a soil, but almost any soil can be
SO prepared as to make a fairly good
potato patch. Two things are essen
tlal, mellowness and plenty Of mois-
ture. Clay is too heavy, and sand dries
out too rapidly. Soils which contain
TOO much clay or too much sand can
be greatly improved for the production
OF potatoes by the addition of humus.
The ideal way to prepare a field for
potatoes Is to seed it to clover for at
least a year, manure it heavily, plow
1t up and plant it to corn. In the fall
the corn can be cut for silage or fod-
der, SO that it can he plowed before
winter. The blowing should be fairly
deep. Two diskings and a narrowing
or two the following spring make an
ideal seed bed for potatoes.
Potatoes are not raised from seed,
but from the swollen underground
stems that we call tubers or potatoes.
Any piece of tuber that contains an
"eye" will grow and produce more of
its kind. A potato vine grown from
piece of tuber is really not a new
plant, but part of the old one If out
side conditions are the same the plant
will be the same and produce the same
kind of a crop. There is much less
tendency to vary in plants propagated
in this way than in those raised from
seed.
Large Versus Small Potatoes.
Because of the fact that the potato
IS not seed it has been claimed that
small potatoes would produce just as
good crops as large ones. Growers
often sort out and plant the tubers
that are too small for market. The
outcome Of four or five years Of such
selection almost always means a de-
creased yield. If the potatoes planted
were small only because they did not
have chance to develop they would
produce nearly as good results as lar
ger ones from the same hill. If. how
ever, they were small because they
came from hill Of tubers all Of which
were naturally small they would pro-
duce mostly small potatoes like them
selves For this reason it is not safe
to plant the small tubers. Another i'm
portant point is that there is not
enough food material in small po-
tato to give the sprout the kind of
start that 1t needs to produce good
yield. 1t is the stocky, vigorous hills
that are full Of large potatoes when
digging time comes. The start the
plant gets while it is first making its
way to the surface Of the ground
largely determines the vigor with
which it will continue to grow through
out the season.
The experience of most potato grow
ers is that it is best to plant medium
sized tubers, about the size of a hens
egg or larger. cutting each one into
four pieces. In experiments that were
