BULLETIN ON The
RAISING OF
SPUDS

The following useful hints are con
tained in a booklet on the subject
just issued by the department of agri-
culture on p tatoe raising.
The soil should be open porous.
Nothing but the alfalfa or clover
should be used as foundation crop
The soil should be broken quite deep
in the fall, and the winter freezes dis
integrates it and loosens it from the
roots thus putting il in fine mechanical
condition for the seed bed. Fall plow-
ing is beneficial for the additional
reason thai it puts the soil in bettsr
condition to receive and store heat
from the rays of the sun for spring
plowing In the spring the fall plow
ing should be olked over with a
disk pillow or harrow 1t is very i'm
portant that the soil be well fined
and well firmed in order that the
root system of the young plant may
be able to secure plant food as quickly
as possible The distance apart the
potatoes should be planted in the row
depends much upon the variety
and fertility of the soil In general
they should be planted inches apart
in rows, 80 inches apart ! he seed
should be from to 6 ounces in
weight. An insufficient supply OF
plant fool in the seed my cause the
plant to become stunted before the
root system becomes SO developed
that it can take up the plant food
from the soil.
This bulletin should be in the hands
of every potatoe grower in the Love
lock Valley and can be secured free
of cost by application to the Sec
retary of Agriculture, Washington

held. The people of this live
town are long known for furnish
ing something worth while every
time they set out to do it, and
every visitor is sure of enjoying
the whole Of the time spent there
Among the attractions will be
band concerts, horse races, bron-
cho-busting, wrestling matches
and ball game each day be-
tween EKalaka and Baker teams.
There will also be dancing galore
and refreshments of every nature
demanded. We are going to cele-
brate at Ekalaka-are you?

GOOD RAIN
WEDNESDAY

The hot weather spell was
broken Wednesday by a good
rain from the east and west. Had
the rain prolonged it's visit here
for a few days more the entire
grain and other crops throughout
the country would have been a
total loss. AS it is, we are feel
ing better. business men as we'll
as the ranchmen and farmers,
and fell safe in saying that the
crops will come out in excellent
shape. In speaking about the
crop conditions throughout the
country an eastern gentleman
who has been travling consider
able of late said" l have just re-
turned from trip through Neb-
raska, Iowa and North Dakota
and find that in these states that
crops are in bad shape. You peo-
pie in this part of Custer county
ought to congratulate yourselves
on the looks of the country as it
is in the best condition that. I
have seen in any territory so far
this summer. Your grain seems
to be heading out in excellent
shape and the grass is far better
than that seen in other states. "
Another gentlemen down from
Miles this week says that we are
located in 1.-THE garden spot of
Custer County," With these re-
ports coming in it seems that the
southern part of the county has
'em all beat this year in crop
raising,
