UNION FORCES SUGAR DOWN TO
Sc A POUND.

Covington, KY, October, 1910.-
Especial. THE Union has succeeded
in bringing the sugar selling combine
TO its knees by putting sugar down to
the unheard OF price of three cents
per pound. Never before within our
memory can we recolleet of any con
Cern accomplishing such a great help
for the common people. No longer need
anybody pay 6, or or 10c for sugar
for the Union price is now &c. AS
everybody uses sugar about every day
in the year, the great effect of this
move will in time be felt throughout
the entire land in the home of every
family.
The International Liberty Union of
the World, which has its principal of
flee in this city, has formed a CO.
operative union company to furnish
all the things that the members of the
Union eat, wear and use at the whole
sale prices.
So great has been the success of this
plan that the Union members are now
getting their sugar at the wonderful
low price of &c per pound. No matter
what kind of sugar they want, brown,
light or granulated, it is all at SC per
pound, and other things are sold pro-
portionately at low wholesale prices.
This is certainly a move in the right
direction, and one that our readers
will take great satisfaction in being
informed about
Any one that wants to know all
about this Union movement which is
sweeping the country, should write a
letter asking for information to The
I-L-U of the World, 329 First National
Bank building, Covington. Ky, u S.
A, and we feel sure the Union will be
glad TO tell them all about it.

INTEREST THE BOY IN
THE HOME GARDEN

NEW people lack a love for nature,
II nor an interest in plants, trees,
II flowers and the generous Vegeta-
tion about us. But how much is being
done by father or mother to stimulate
the boys interest in the things which
have been placed here for our care and
cultivation.
We realize that many men are too
busy with other things to give time or
thought to garden matters; however,
we know of many busy men who have
taken time to encourage and help the
boy and to start him to thinking and
doing something with the things that
have been given so bountifully for our
use.
We are really overlooking one of the
greatest privileges and pleasures when
we neglect to study the things that
nature has given US. If the father or
mother does not care or does not wish
to take the time TO instruct and en-
courage the child in such matters we
cannot blame him for not loving ma
ture more, nor for the lack of interest
in the growing things about US. We
owe much of our interest to the things
pertaining to nature, to the untiring
efforts of parents, who worked with
and encouraged us in our first small
efforts Observation has shown us
that in most cases a boys interest in
garden work is due to a fathers or
mothers interest in working with him
and in encouraging the first efforts.

cleaner and brighter appearing door

follows where thought and time are

THE POTATO

T HERE is still a great difference of
opinion regarding the question of
"A potatoes for seed. Whether the
large or the small potato should be
used; whether they should be cut into
pieces or used whole; if cut into
pieces, whether one eye is sufficient
or if two or more give greater returns.
During the last twenty-five years we
have tried about every method that
has been suggested that sounded reas-
enable, and, Notwithstanding the fact
that we have produced some excellent
stock and in goodly numbers for the
amount of land used, we find there is
much to learn.
The potato, being a tuber, is there
fore a stem enlarged and modified pri-
marly to serve as a storehouse for
nutriment which has been manutac-
tured by the leaves and drafted down
the stems in the course of the season
growth. The examination of the po-
tato plant in the growing season will
clearly show that all the roots spring
from the stems, and from these are
given off the tubers. The latter con-
tain several eyes or buds when ma
ture, and when the tuber is planted
from each of these eyes springs
stem bearing leaves, flowers, fruits
and seeds in due course
If the potato is cut llto pieces anu
each piece contains an eye it is sui
ficient to produce perfect plant with
tubers in the course of the season.
Some gardeners believe that better re-
suits are obtained by planting the
whole tuber, while others believe that
the cut tuber and the single eye to the
cutting is sufficient to produce equally
good results.
Experiments have proved that por-
ton of a tuber with a good, strong
eye will yield as many good potatoes
as an uncut one. There SENS to be no
reason why it should not, when it is
remembered that all tubers are the d.
rect result of the action of the leaves,
and not of the tuber which has been
planted. In fact the latter soon loses
its plumpness and becomes sticky
mass.
Ordinary good garden soil of a light
and rather dry nature and thoroughly
drained will produce a good crop OF
potatoes The ideal soil, however, is a
rich, light loan. 1t should always be
i'll a state of good cultivation. Excel
lent results are obtained when artiti-
cial fertilizers are used. We find the
potatoes usually are clearer skinned
and freer from disease than when the
stable manure is used.
