THE SIGN OF rue srNFLowEr.

Some very queer things are happen
ing in Indiana this year, y sunflower.

been found growing in maple tree
twelve feet from the ground at the
home of John kensinger, at Lafayette.
The Indianapolis News reports that
the big flower mods at passershy from
its lofty perch and deaes an explana-
ton of the mystery of its presence
there Wise suntlower, 1t knows
what 1T is about. If it should explain
what it is doing there. some trihins
Republican would climb the tree ana
pull it up in hurry. 1t really is s
sign of Democratic victory and the
election of John W. Kern 10 the United
States Senate. Whenever the sunaowe-
begins to climb trees In Indiana, il Is
a sure thing that the Democrats are
going to win, and If the kensinger sun
flower is only allowed TO seed. and the
seed are iudiciously distributed in close
districts. Indiana will be safely in the
Democratic column in 1912.

EXPERT POTATO CULTURE.

Specialist Gives Hints For Growing
Tubers on Irrigated Land.
One of the recent farmers bulletins
issued by the department of agricul-
ture is written by E. H. Grub of
Carbonate, Colo. an expert grower,
who says:
The improved planters of today open
the furrow, drop the seed, it,
firm the dirt over the seed and mark
the next furrow. Such a planter is
drawn by two horses. The writer
plants the potatoes about two or two
and one-half inches below the surface
of the soil. Experiments with potatoes
planted in rows all the way from thir
ty-six to forty-tWo inches apart indi-
cate that the best distance depends
upon the seasonal conditions and type
of soil. 1t is a problem for each grow
er to solve for himself. The distance
apart the potatoes should be planted
in the row also depends so much upon
the variety, the fertility of the soil,
the availability of water. ETC.. that
each farmer must determine this from
his oWn experience. | plant them
eight inches apart in rows thirty-six
inches apart. This gives the largest
tonnage of potatoes of desirable size.
The writer's experience has been that
seed Of large size two to six Ounces)
produce strong, vigorous shoots, as
they furnish an ample supply of plant
food to sustain a strong and vigorous
growth until the feeder roots ear take
up the food from the soil.
During the last two years the best
results were obtained from planting
medium sized whole seed. While the
cost of the seed has been considerably
greater, the stand has been approx
mateiy perfect. Experience has prov
ed that from one or two eyes only are
sprouts developed in uncut seed. The
seed end furnishes a strong vine. The
other eyes usually remain dormant.
One OF the greatest advantages of
using whole seed is the protection
from disease which may be present in
the soil and which may attack the
more tender exposed parts of the cut
seed.
AS Don as possible after the pota-
toes are planted the cultivator should
be started. This implement has four
Shovels, each four or five inches wide
and about fifteen inches long, two on
each side of the row, and is drawn by

DIGGING POTATOES ON IRRIGATED LAND.
two heavy horses. These shovels
should run as close as possible to the
planted tubers without disturbing
them. The first cultivation adds to
the depth of the dirt over the seed
and permits the use of a light smooth
ing harrow without disturbing the I'll
bers. The cultivator also loosens TIE
soil on each side of the row and better
fits it for the potato roots which will
soon invade it.
After this the potatoes should be

first lengthwise of the rows and then
across, until the vines are five to six
inches high.
After this the cultivator is used, but
is not run so deep as at the first culti-
walton. Frequent shallow cultivation
keeps the surface of the soil loose,
conserves the moisture and gives a
chance for the root system to spread.

When q license party buys News
paper space at advertising rate for
the defense of the of the saloon and
to show their hatred for prohibition,
for the church and the Ministry.
then it certainly looks as though
they have become aroused, not to
say scared.
That article in the last weeks issue
of The Times, | NEAR that advertise
ment has helped the cause of the no
license party fully as much as THAT
Boy, ole did or any other Tenn
perarce literature distributed.
Yes, The ad helped our cause by it's
rank defense of evil, and its author
got no free drinks from the drys.
Perhaps the w. G. T. u. will bring

the subject.
Ele su,s: 81 d. not klow who
brought on Tins question Of license
or no license but | presume that it
came from the prohibitionists. or
from some one who has no property
here, and pays no taxes.
The fact is that as the saloon ele-
ment never. at any time brings that
question before the voters, but cork
it tight and seal it, if they can. it
was done by good men on the other
side of the fence. Men who r in
terested in the free welfare of our
citizens, men who pay mor taxes
than said author yer paid.
Let me help our friend furthermore
by stating that the license Dr. no
license question is, more than any
thing else, a moral question, and
ministers do not only have the pri-
village to speak and act for no license
but it is their duty, and none but
towards will take the advise of the
Liquor element to ''shut up None
but towards, l say, unworthy of any
pulpit. And if a church should ever
attempt to muzzle it's pastor, in this
respect, it is unworthy of the name.

man is not robbed of his citizenship
by becoming a minister of the gospel.
He has his duties as citizen as well
as his duty as pastor.
AS to loosing the $1,000 license
money without getting something
in return" it is not mentioned that
the people of Washburn and immedi-
ate vicinity must pay approximately
the SUM of 800, 900 to obtain the
$40, 900. The return would be better
aud happier homes and more money
for the necessities of life, and did we
hear something about "Blind Pigs?'
If the pigs who are not blind can be
caught and killed, then that which is
blind should not be able to escape.
And just another item.
The author of the ad. thinks it
amusing to hear the ministers talk
ABOUT saloons and saloon keepers.
They know nothing about it, because
they are not in the saloons to find
OUT. But an inidel, who never goes
to church has a perfect knowledge OF
the fact that crooks and scoundrels
are to be found well up in the fropt
