is so much differen nee in yield and besides.you have a variety that will ktep. have been digging and selling Irish Cobbler potatoes since June 4.
 Now the secretary of our asso- ciiation has given out that on or about June 24, we will ship our Red Bliss. Now lets compare note.

Bean. a neighbor planted the one barrel of Irish Cobbler a f. ter had planted the Bliss 1rl- umph q planted them last year on the 27th day of February, this year on the 7th day oi March ] The Irish Cobbler could have been shipped on the 10th day Of June, so could the Red Bliss but one-half of the Red Bliss were not marketabl size and every one of the Cobblers were ready. Now lets see how much we are ahead of other states. Texas began shipping this year May 25. take from the Kansas City Pack CT, one of the most reliable truck growing papers, dated June II, News Items) Shawnee Ok, June 6. Shipping potatoes will begin here June 20.
 Cornersville, Tenn, June G. Shipping from this place June 20.
 Orrick, Mo-, June 6. The crops from this place will be moving June 6.
 Now MT. Farmer in Polk county what we want is a potatoe early enough to come in a week or two later or as early as the Texas crop. also if we do strike a slump market lets have a potatoe we can hold over. The Bliss is as good for second crop as an early one, l say nix, especially for this neck of the woods.

 Mir. Editor I would like to hear from other growers in Polk coun- ty through your paper on this subject. l think by doing this it will be very beneficial to all con cerned. Yours truly.

PETERSBURG, August 9.-That it
takes brains to make a successful

address at the seventh annual session
of the Virginia State Farmers Insti-

Demonstration work, the chief ex-
ecutive pointed out. was the best
method of helping the farmer make
use Of his brains. He regretted. how
ever that the average farmer In vir-
ginia is ''sot" in his ways and too
much inclined to modify whatever
directions may be given him. The
farmers boy. on the other hand, he
said. had no preconceived notions of
his own and the result was that the
boy outstripped the father when it
came to competitive tests in raising
crops

ANOTHER SUIT
IN TENNEy CASE
Counsel for Mrs. Tenney Brings
Action Against News-Leader
for SO, 900.

Another offshoot 10 the tangled
maze os intricacies. charges. cross
charges. and denouements connected
with the Tenney divorce case has
developed. this time in the court OF
las and equity, where suit for S@5,0eo
has been instituted against the News
Leader Publishing Company by Attor-
new William h. Royal. acting for
Mrs. Tenney-
The suit is for libel and its declara-
ton covers many pages OF typewriting
Its preface covers the entire history
of the domestic infelcities OF Mr.. and
Mrs. Tenney, extolling the latter to
the skies. Finally, getting down to
the basis of the suit, the declaration
relates specifically To -tne-cross- bill
filed by Mr.. Tenney In answer 10 his
wifes suit for alimony in 1908. This
cross bill. 1t is alleged In the declara-
ton. charged Mrs. Tenney with mis-
conduct with Major Il. G. Gordon. but
NTH no one else. Judge Grinnan. 1t
Is related forbade the publication Of
the document in any newspaper.
In spite OF this prohi1ative order.
1t is charged that the defendant pub
lished the article with display head
lines making various statements, all
of which differed entirely from the
statements in Mr.. Tenney's bill.
The main point In Mrs Tenney's
declaration Ia that the article in
question charged Mr.. Tenney with
accusing his wife OF having been
guilty OF misconduct with half a
score of men In Richmond. New York
and other cities, when, misconduct
had really been charged In only one
instance In conclusion Attorney
Royal declares When all the aver
ments OF the News Leader article are
summed Up logically. they amount
TO a statement that Mr.. Tenncy
charges his wife with being an utterly
deprayed woman, not fit TO associate
with reputable people. whereas there
Is no charge OF that sort In the cross
