STATE POLITICS.

An important meeting of the Demo
cratic State Committee will be held
in Nashville on Saturday. While
The Herald is not in the confidence
q the party leaders, that is 1t does
not know what plans If any, concern
ing the welfare of the party In the
State, they may have to unfold at
the meeting, it does hope that out of
the assembly there may be some plan
evolved through which peace can be
restored to the State upon a fair,
honest and just basis.
This journal is tired Of factional
strife. 1t believes that the masses
# the people are tired of it. Too
much politics means too little bust
1ess in the affairs of the common
wealth. There are some things
uorth having besides Offices and poll
.ical power and the sooner some Of
the professional politicians learn this
fact the better it will be for the peace
and welfare of the people.
The Herald believes that Democra-
tic harmony would be conducive to
he welfare of the people of the
State and therefore 1t Is an advo-
cate of honorable peace. So far as
his paper is concerned it does not
make any particular difference what
the politics of the officeholders may
be so long as we have honest, eff
cient and economical government.
There are Republicans who are bet
ter officials than Democrats just as
there are Democrats who are more
efficient than Republicans. There
fore our desire for harmony is not
prompted by any interest that we
may have in the personnel of the
officeholders. 1t is based upon high
err and more material considerations.
And without attempting to outline
in detail any plan for harmonious
adjustment we are convinced that il
there is will upon the part of the
members of the rival Democratic or
ganization for peace way will be
found to obtain it. No selfish ambi-
ton or personal desire for agrandise-
ment should prevent peace in the
State.
1t is of course idle to talk harmony
and at the same time attempt to
surrender the State and the party to
a special interest. That is the at
titude of many so-called regulars"
and we repeat our warning that if
surrender to this lawless interest is
a condition precedent to peace in
Tennessee there is going to be war.

The principal points to be observed
In successful potato growing are:
Select well drained, loamy soil
Give this the most thorough prepara
ton possible. Do not expect soil
that is badly run out to give you good
returns. 1t takes years to get soil
ready for potato growing.
Practice rotation OF crops which
Will include clover to turn under
Keep plenty Of humus In the soil to
hold moisture.
Select mature seed OF tested var.
iety. free from disease. and from a
field free from blight. ..
Treat all tubers to be used for
planting purposes with formalin-one
pint to thirty gallons Of water.
1t will pay to select the best hills
from the field for seed purposes. They
will invariably greatly increase the
Yield.
Fertilize literally with high grade

phosphoric acid and potash. About

dition In which potato 'scab," II pres.
ent. will thrive.
Take the greatest precautions that
the land shall not become infected
