The Farmers Meeting.

The regular meeting of the jerome
branch OF the North Side Canal lsers
Assn. was held last Saturday, and proved
a very interesting one, as there was II
larger attendance than usual and much
interest manifested.
The question OF planting cantilopes and
watermelons was taken up and discussed
at some length, and several more acres
were subscribed and the committee en-
powered to order the seed.
Another matter which is interesting
the farmer is the early potato question,
and from a general canvas OF the situa-
ton it is believed they can be handled
by the association with good profit to its
members, and several are contemplating
trying the experiment this spring.
The question OF finances opened mp a
discussion that could not help but prove
instructive to all present, and the situa-
ton was made very plain to the members
by the officers and members OF the board
Of directors, and We wish that every
farmer on the tract could have heard this
discussion, whether he be a member %
the association or not.
Several new members were added Il
the list at this meeting, and we believe
that il everyone would become NOR
familiar with the objects Of this assoca
ton and the good they are accomplish
ing for the welfare OF the tract, there j
not a farmer but who would be glad t.
enroll himself as a member.
The next regular meeting Of the Asso
citation will be held on the second Satur
day in April.

much water rs is needed, and no more. |
and to keep rs uniform an amount in
the soil over the whole field us possible
from the time we commence to the time
We quit for good. The water is started
under four-inch pressure and as soon
rs the water is through the pressure is
decreased ST. that just enough is supplied
to reach the lower end. These rows
were 6lS feet long and the water was
through most of them within an hour.
After the first irrigation, the shovel pillow
was run through 4 second time to cover
the potatoes more and to create Il dust
mulch The second irrigation was within
Il week of the first and by this time no
further cultivating could be done, as the
vines had made such an enormous
growth. \ third irrigation followed i'll
about ten days, which was the last.
Soon after the vines were killed 10y

Acre No. yielded tbs bushels, which
=
and was OF superior quality, showing
the difference in variety. Acre No. >
yielded more than No. 3, which indicates
that planting inches in the row was
better than II inches on this particular
piece OF ground The per cent OF small
potatoes was no greater in the S-inch
planting than in the Pinch planting.
On the whole, the percentage OF small
potatoes was less than in the average
crop.
While it is possible to plant the rows
less than 80 inches apart and still do all
the work with horses, it is advisable to
plant field crop 80 inches apart or even
more in order To give more room for
working the crop. Where the rows are
far enough apart we recommend the use
OF some good disc cultivator To do the
killing. We would also recommend
planting 10 inches in preference to II
inches in the rows on alfalfa land.
Too much cannot be said oi the i'm
portance of good stand. 1t costs no
more to irrigate and cultivate perfect
stand, and the line between success and
failure often depends on this point. \
more uniform size potato is produce'
with 4 perfect stand, As big over-siz,s
tubers are more apt to develop wher'
they have too much room,

Withdrawals.-When a depositor wishes
to withdraw any part Of his account he
must present certificates equal to the
sum he wishes to obtain, and the sur
rendered certificates must have been in

must correspond with that on the filed
duplicate before the money will be paid.
Certificates are nonnegotiable and nom
transferable and are worthless in the
possession of any other than their lawful
owners.

poses, provision has been made to ac-
commodate those who wish to withdraw

with 800 certificate issued on January
who wishes to draw down so on July
would surrender his 800 certificate and
receive in return $50 in cash and a new

Interest.-Interest at the rate Of 2 per

deposits. but interest only begins to run
from the first business day of the month,
so that deposits made after such time in
any one month cannot begin to draw in

URGES MOUNTAIN LAUREL
FOR NATIONAL FLOWER

Henry Turney Bailey, in his address
before the General Federation OF Wom-
ems Clubs at Cincinnati, said

country in the interest of national flow

its lotus, Japan has its chrysanthemum,
the France of the Middle Ages and the
France Of to-day has its fieur-de-lis, Eng

rock, and we have-nothing. There have
been various attempts to give us a ma
tional flower. Some have advocated the

weed: some say the golden rod (but
farmers hate that, too, in some sections
of our country; some one said columbine

fit for a national flower? No. We can
not have anything unless it be worthy.
II am going to suggest the mountain
laurel, which grows in the thirteen origi-
nal States, as the national flower First,
because it is a hardwood plant and lasts
year after year. In favored places it be-
comes a tree, but like liberty, it is a
hardy thing, and will persist under the
most adverse conditions. 1t is ever green.

The Famous Stamp Collection.
Since the revival of the interest IN
postage stamp collecting many people
have been known to make special trips
to Washington just to get a glimpse of
the great collection which is on exhibit
in this museum. The display consists Of
a compete COueCtfon OF postage stamps,
postal cards. and stamped envelopes
issued by the United States and all
stamp-issuing countries of the world.
The actual value of this stamp collection
is probably more than 100000. but if
they were ever put on sale in the open
market the price they would command
would be many times that amount. as
the premium on the majority of them has
increased to an enormous figure since
they were issued
A most interesting section of the ex-
hibit is that devoted to the equipment
used in handling the mails and COM
prehensive exhibit of the mail transpor-
tation facilities, from the dog sledge and
the pony express to the newest type Of
the all-steel mail car now in use. Along
with this most elaborate exhibit is the
unusual collection of articles from the
Dead-letter Office. Recently mutoScope
picture machines were added to the ex-
h!bit. These machines depict by moving
pictures the various operations of the
postal service from the time a letter is
mailed to the time of its final delivery.
Among the miscellaneous collections are
many very interesting things that every
American is proud to see, such as the

only one In the multitude of magnif-
cent bridesmaids the central figure Of
the occasion is apt to be Overshadowed,

The bride will also be better looked

some depend upon insects, but the laurel
is peculiarly American: it fertflizes itself

to national flower is that the flower
