Press Opinions


The "old man." the governor" or
dad" is finally coming into his own.
A Spokane woman, who evidently
had good father, has started a
movement for Fathers Day. For
several years a Mothers Day has
been observed and rightfully so, but
by the very neglect of the other par
ent which was thus implied its o.
servance amounted to som ething of a
slur on the father. A fathers love
may not have the same opportunity
to display itself as a mothers love
but 1t is there Just the same, as
many a son and daughter can testify.
Too often the father is made the
threshing machine for the children
and it takes more love to punish
som etimes than to endure a child's
fault and let it so uncorreCted to the
detriment of the child 1t takes as
much love to work and win support
for them. Outlines the father must
thus face a life of self-sacritiCe and
with ii the prospect of receiving NJ
sign of the appreciation or the evil
dence of the love which he secretly
longs for and to do that requires
degree of love which makes a
Fathers Day not a day TO he laughed
at but to be beautifully observed.

Other Towns Too,

There is entirely too much "kick-
ing" in Mabton. Almost every other
man has som ething mean to say of
every other man; fault finding with
the way a man does his work both
public and private. 1t seems as il
they are constantly on the lookout
for something in which they can find
some flaw so as to have an pprtun-
ity to criticise. Quit it If you can not
speak a good word of anyone, seal
your lips and say nothing. If YOU
want your town TO prosper and he a
tit place to live in. look for some
thing good in men, put yur shoulder
to the wheel and push the load Of
prosperity along the road to pro-
gress. In order to advance we must
climb upward 1t is an easy matter
to let a wagon run down hill of it's
own accord. but it takes some power
and energy to draw it to the top of a
hill, The same law holds good in
all things \ town that has as many
pulling down as there arc trying to
push ahead will never make much
hcadWay. Again we say get in and
push and quit your Icking.-Mab-

GROWING POTATOES
BY IRRIGATION

To obtain large yield of potatoes
of marketable quality by irrigation
my experience of ten years teaches
me that the best way is to plow I'M
der an alfalfa or clover field that
has been covered with liberal
amount of well rotten manure in the
fall. Irrigate it in the April follow
ing thoroughly and evenly. Back-set
1t with the pillow 10 to IL inches deep
Harrow lightly to hold moisture but
work the ground as little as possible
at this time with the team for it
packs easily. The seed should be
planted or 6 inches deep or one
half the depth the ground was
plowed Harrow again lightly to
form dust mulch to hold moisture
Size of Seed
In selecting seed l prefer the DO.
tato about the size of a hen egg,
and similar in shape, planting ii
whole, and always avoid planting a
knob that has grown on the side of
another potato.
l planted seed IL inches apart, one
potato in place. Land with a gray
ell subsoil requires the seed thick to
keep the size down to the require
ments of the market from four to
eight ounces in weight; if planted
farther apart there would be fewer
potatoes and too rough for fancy
stock. The rows should be four
feet apart which keeps the water the
proper distance from the potato, -
inches of dirt between water and po-
tato.
1t is the water that promotes the
growth and spread of scab, not the
manure, if it has been applied az
stated the fall before or earlier
Always treat the seed with Tlr-
maline-one quart to 80 gallons of
water-'in which immense two hours
