Cultivation Of Sweet Potatoes
BY C. X. McQUARRIE.

Many of our native farmers think
that the sweet potato crop does not re-
quire any cultivation. If it is planted
on new land, little cultivation will be
required, as grass and weeds are not
apt to be much in evidence. Neverthe-
.. an occasional stirring of the SOIL
particularly in dry weather, is useful
for the conservation of moisture and
the aeration needed to produce a good
crop.
years in cultivation, gras sand weeds
yo rs incultivation, grass and weeds
will get quite rampant shortly after
planting, particularly If a heavy appli-
cation of fertilizer has been put on the
crop. To keep such in check, the Gull
tivator must be used quite frequently
until the vines completely cover the
ground, when cultivation may cease, as
by that time the young potatoes will
be forming in the soil, and their growth
would be interfered with if cultivation
was continued any longer.
Tools to Use.
The best tool for cultivating this
crop that we know of is q two-horse
disk cultivator with the disks set at a
suitable angle at different depths, so
as to run along the sides of the bed,
scraping weeds and some soil into the
water furrow in the operation. After
the ground has been gone over in this
way, the angles of the disks are re-
versed and rebedding is done, leaving
the beds in their previous form. This
work not only cleans up the weeds and
grass, but aerates the soil and tends to
larger yield.
To protect the young plants from
being either torn or covered in the OPP

such tools are provided, have to be at

painter, who for three quarters of the
race looked like a certain winner, had
to give up at the last, his nerves COM
pletely shattered by the strain of
thirty days of flying, and nerve, rather
than machine defects of accidents,
were responsible for the failure of most
of the other competitors.
The contest differed from recent
French contests in it's freedom from
serious mishaps, there being no fatali-
ties nor serious accidents, except fall
by Thelen, which confined him to the
hospital for some time with conclusion

Minor accidents and thrilling incl
dents were reported in plenty, how
ever, the most dangerous experience
being that of Hoffman,. who started
out at nightfall on the most difficult
stage of the whole circuit, the flight

whirlwinds around the SUBMITS of this
isolated mountain range and an equally
precipitous descent on the other side
to Halberstadt.
His motor proved too weak to carry
him over the summit, and he finally
decided to follow the alternative route
around the mountain to Halberstadt.
In the twilight he lost his way and
cruised aimlessly for two hours over
the forests and rocky side valleys Of
the mountains, in danger every mo-
ment of striking a fog hidden cliff or
treetop. Finally, when his gasoline
was almost exhausted, he discovered
a small clearing on which he landed,
smashing his machine but luckily es-

DRAINING THE
CITY OF BERLIN
l A GREAT TASK
THE WORK HAS BEEN IN PROG
REss FOR THE PAST THIRTY
EIGHT YEARS AND Is NOW
NEARING coMPLETIoN-cosT
$42,5oo 900.
BY Associated Press.

Berlin, July 29.-The gigantic oper-
alton of draining and seweraging the
city OF Berlin is about to be completed
after 80 years of labor and the expen-
diture of $42,5O0,0O0. When the work
was begun--in 1873 the capital had only
$50, 900 inhabitants; now 1t has 2,163,-
00O excluding the suburbs.
The total length of the canalization
pipes, which are Of iron and earthen-
ware, is Just over 795 miles. This in
cludes the rainwater tubes, which run
into the Lower Spree, and the sewage
conduits,. which extend to the munich
pal sewage farms around Berlin. The
beneficial effect of the modernization
of Berlin's system of drainage is
shown by the diminution of the cases
of typhua fever from LAO per 1000 ir
1872 to o.o4 per 1000 in 1909.
The establishment of night sanator-
iums I'm the forests surrounding Berlin,

lishments. to which the sickly workers
go direct from their workshops at
seven O'Clock each evening, have been
erected, two for women at Eichkamp
and Schonholz and one for men at
Johannisthal. On their arrival the
workers are served with a hot supper
and then retire to rest in hammocks in
which they lie enveloped in sleeping
sacks. They are sheltered by a roof
from rain, but the sides are open and
no curtains are permitted to hinder
the free circulation of the air. At $3.50
o'clock in the morning breakfast is
served and the patients proceed again
to their work. All of those treated in
this way have benefited to such an
extent in health that the authorities
have decided to build a large number
Of the sanatoriums so as to serve every
district of the capital. -

The duke is sure to become as popular

that his appointment will succeed IN

Lord Rosebery, still to be known to
the general public by his old title, Will
in official documents be designated by

make a king envious. 1t was disclosed
in the official announcement of the
coronation honors that Lord Rosebery
had received no less than three new
titles. They are Baron EPSON of Ep-
som, in the county of Surrey; Niscount
Montmore, in the county of Bucking-

The results of the race, however,
were regarded as a triumph for the
German aeroplanes. Though Wrights,
Farmans and other machines of foreign
design competed, the three winning
aeroplanes were of German type and
construction, Koenig flying an Alba
tross biplane, Vollmoeller an Erich

both Vollmoeller and Buechner used
German motors, which proved no less

by Koenig, which Wilbur Wright Sc

KING GEORGES
IRELAND TRIP
WITHOUT NOTE
PREDICTIONS OF TROUBLE OR
COUNTER DEMONSTRATIONS ON
THE VISIT OF KING AND QUEEN
WERE NOT FULFILLED.
BY Associated Press.

London, July 29-King Georges visit
to Ireland turned out much as did
that of his father some years ago. On
both occasions it had been predicted
that there would be trouble or at least
counter demonstrations. Neither oc-
CURED.
The king and queen indeed received
a very warm welcome from their Irish
subjects of all political parties. In
Francis and Patrick streets, the only
two remaining slum streets. the resi-
dents in which are all ardent National
lists, their maiesties received a very
enthusiastic ovation, but 1t is not sug-
gested that the visit has changed the
politics of the people. King George and
Queen Mary went into this district to
open a play centre established by Lord
Iveagh, the immensely wealthy head of
the Guinness family, for the children
of what is probably the poorest district
in the kingdom.
Lord Iveagh, whose employees run
into the thousands, is doing a great
work in Dublin, for besides his housing
plans, he is a liberal contributor to
charity, and to celebrate the kings
visit Handed his majesty S250,00O for
distribution among the hospitals Of the
country.
Dublin is undoubtedly the only city
of any pretensions in the west that has
not sUccumbed to the motor car For
a city of it's size fewer cars are seen
here than anywhere else and as for
taxi-cabs, not one has yet made it's ap-
pearance. For general use the jaunt-
ing car is still supreme, and the Irish
are rather proud of it, and it is Ger :
tainly more picturesque. On the road
to the races, at Phoenix Park and
Leopardstown, not more than a dozen
motor cars were to be seen, ractically
everybody driving out:
The Duke of Copnaught, who will
soon go to Canada as governor gen
eral, is one, if not the most, popular
man in England today. The populari-
ty, which was that of his brother, King
Edward. seems to have fallen to the
duke. During the coronation, when he,
in common with the other members of
the royal family, were naturally much
in the public eye, the duke, who is IA
miliar to the public, was picked out
oftener than any other man and al
ways given an ovation. In the process
sions and every other time he appeared
he was given a very hearty reception
the cheering on many occasion being
greater than even that for the king
himself
Probably the chief reason for this is
the easy, natural manner of his royal
highness, who like the late king, has
the faculty of putting people at their
ease when with him. While every
inch the prince, he mingles freely and
always has something friendly and
jovial to say. He, too, is recognized as
soldier of no mean ability, and his
action in refusing to remain in the DO
sition of commander in chief of the
Mediterranean. place more social
than practical, was much applauded
