SECURE STAND
OF POTATOES
Potato Grower Should Take Stoch
of His Success An Work to

Moisture Is First.

CBy C. L. FITCH. Colorado Agricultural
This is the time for the potato
grower to observe what sort of a
stand he has secured, to take stock,
as 1t were, of his success in his work
to this point in the season.
In the first place. moisture is nec-
essary. A potato may sprout. but
will not root unless 1t touches damp
soil, and If the season and atmos-
phere be very dry, growth will be
backward, even with moisture be-
meath. The potato ground should
have been filled with moisture before
plowing. and the moisture held there
by stirring the surface shallow. as
with harrow. If, however. the mois-
ture be not til ere. the potatoes must
be cultivated. ditched and irrigated.

DEATH AT EDGERTON
Baxter /. Wilson Dies AS the Result
of Long Opera
ton

Baxter /. Wilson died at his home
at Edgerton Thursday night as the re-
suit of two operations. On Wednes-
day the first operation was performed
by three physicians and surgeons and
required from 10 o'clock in the morn
ing until in the evening. On Thurs
day another one was performed and it
was expected to perform the last one
today but death came too soon. There
was complication of gall stones and
other troubles so far advanced that it
was next to impossible to save his life.
The operation should have been year
ago. Mr.. Wilson was conscious from
time to time and said that he was glad
to go on account of the intense suffer
ing he had endured.
Mrs. Wilson underwent an opera
ton a year ago and il was so success
full that the family thought best to
have Mr.. Wilson at home. For this
reason he was not taken TO hospital.
He was about 46 years of age. There
are two daughters: Miss Martha Will
son, one of the teachers in the Baraboo
schools, and Miss Edna Wilson, a
student in Oberlin. In a race with
death to reach home, Miss Edna ar
rived few hours too late to see her
father.
Mr.. Wilson was proprietor of the
Monarch laboratories of Edgerton The
business covers a considerable terri
tory. He has been in ,Baraboo num-
Der of times.
He was the leading member of the
Congregational church on Edgerton.
Funeral on Sunday.
