Concrete Block Houses.

Some time ago, Prof. E. B. House
of the Colorado Agricultural Col
lege, planned a residence, and as
the bids for brick and stone were
beyond the size of his pocketbook,
he decided to buy a concrete block
machine and make the blocks him
self Inexperience in this gave him
some anxiety. but he is now prepar-
ed to say that care in mixing, pro-
portioning and curing, is all that is
necessary, and anyone who has
spare time, and willing muscles, can
make these blocks, and the houses
made from them will be as strong
and durable as stone.
Perhaps you don't like the dull
gray color. 1t is cold and gloomy
and many object to it. Here is one
way to get around the color propo-
sition. Get machine that will

Seeds a Cent Apiece.

Ginseng seeds are worth one cent
apiece or from $50 to 800 pound.
Dried root is worth S6.25 a pound.
When first growing from the seed
the ginseng plants have two forks or
stalks and one leaf on each stalk.
The second year it adds another leaf
on each part and the third year the
plant grows in three parts with three
leaves on each part, and this year a
seed ball forms.
This grows direct from the main
stalk of the plant and from four to
FIVE inches above the foliage. The
average plant produces from fifty to
sixty seeds and sometimes goes as
high as one hundred seeds. Wild
plants yield better than cultivated.
The fourth and fifth years one
leaf is added to each stalk. The fifti
year the plant is full grown. having
three forks and five leaves on each
stalk. 1t grows from one to two
feet in height, sometimes as high as
twenty-seven inches. The leaves
are broad and fiat. about four inches
long and two inches wide when full
grown, with escalloped edges.
1t takes five years to grow the
root from seed for market and
eighteen months to germinate the
seed for growth. There is more cul-
tivated root now on the market than
wild. The plants are found on high.

The Size of Seed Potatoes.

Under favorable conditions, very
fair crops of potatoes have been
grown from potato peelings. Seeds
men often do quite a business in
potato eyes cut out and sent by mail
in oiled paper boxes. In times of a
craze over new varieties. rooted po-
tato sprouts have been sold for ex-
travigant sums.
In this however, it is forgotten
that the seed piece is source, both
of food and moisture as well as of
life. and that if large enough, it
makes possible the extremely rapid
growth of thrifty fields of potatoes.
Many experiments conclusively
show that a seed piece two ounces
in weight is a better size than a
lighter one, and the net profit has
been shown to be greater from half
or even from whole, medium sized
potatoes, than from small seed pie
ces. Each grower must decide
for himself if he wishse to invest in
the cost of large seed, and whether
or not his planter will handle it.
Large potatoes true to type are
truer to inheritance on the average
than small potatoes true to type. and
small seed is undesirable also be-

cause the poor hills produce the
larger percent of small tubers.

larger percent of small tubers.
There is little doubt that continue
use of small seeds makes varieties
run out. On the other hand, small,
whole seed is dropped much more
perfectly by the planters. and is
less subject to drying out and to
rot, than the cut pieces of'large po-
tatoes. The usual compromise be-
tween inheritance and cost of seed
is the use of medium sized tubers.
When small or other whole seed is
used, it is most important not to
break off the first most vigorous
sprouts, for with these destroyed,
the tuber throws out innumerable
small sprouts, and there are apt to
be many small potatoes grown.
We believe the vigor and size of
the seed piece of more Importance
than the number of eyes. In cut
ting, the pieces should be chunky
and not thin, as there should be the
least cut surface possible.
Uuder arid conditions, thin seed
ing is desirable together with the
large seed pieces, made by cutting
out all eyes but one with a curved,
pointed knife. Good sized seed is
of more Importance for early pota

GOVERNOR SAYS

Little Rock, Ark, July Hate Wednesday afternoon Gov. Donaghey closed the last hope for the executive clemency Harry Poe, convicted and sentenced to hang for criminal assault might have, by the issuance of pro- clamation setting Friday, Sept 9, as the date for his legal execution at Hot Springs. No steps were overlooked in the effort to secure commutation of the sentence of the negro, who is al- legged to have criminally assaulted a ii year old girl in Hot Springs sev- eral months ago. After being con- victed at a special term of the circuit court, Poe appealed to the Supreme Court where the lower court was af- firmed. Two attempts to secure a rehearing failed, though evidence at tempting to prove an alibi was shown. The case was then laid before Gov
 Donaghey and two women testified before him they knew the negro was at the home of his mother at the time the alleged assault was committed. Gov. Donaghey took the matter under advisement and report was circulat- ed in Hot Springs Gov. Donaghey was about to issue a pardon such proceed ure having been suggested by the At torney General.
