TO POTATO RAlsERs

TO POTATO RAISERS
Prof. G. L. Fitch, of the Colora-
do agricultural experiment station,
writing in the recent issue of the
News Bulletin offers some excel
lent advice to potato raisers. He
says:
l take it for granted that we
have been introduced by name to
fusarium and rizoc this summer.
They are like the devil-we may
as well know them when we see
them or hear their names be-
ware!
There are no cures for these
troubles, we can only SO lay our
plans with wisdom as to avoid
them. Happy are we if we learn
from some other fellows heavy
losses and not from our own.
The first rule is properly to
rotate our ground, and not to raise
potatoes but once after potatoes,
and never more than two crops Of
potatoes in all until the ground
has been in peas or clover or
alfalfa two years or more.
The second rule is to keep live
stock for the added benefit to the
fertility and physical conditions of
the ground.
Fourth, take care of the moisture
condition of the ground before
plowing and planting 81 that the
plants start we'll.
Fifth, plant as late as is safe for
your location, 20 that the tissues
will not reach the danger stage too
early.
Sixth, practice the Greeley sys.
TEN OF close, deep cultivation, and
make the seed rows tremble the
first time.
Seventh, be backward with the
water, especially on fiat lands in
warm weather.
Eighth, be patient, don't plant
too many acres; don't over-crop.
Ninth, remember that potatoes
ON heavy or wet soils are a gamble
Don't plant on such soils more
acres than you can afford to lose.
Tenth, have good luck, light
showers, cool weather, no heavy
rains.
The first nine will take care of
the tenth, but the tenth. 10 a vel.

farms.
Spraying is Of no use whatever
for willis or soil diseases, a. the
trouble, though indicated by the
leaves, does not lie there, but in
the stems where it cannot be
reached.

WHY PANIcs7'

Senator Oven of Oklahoma in
troduced in the senate on the 2lst
the following resolution:
Resolved that committee OF
five senators, to wit, senators Kern,
Works, Reed, Page and Clark Of
Wyoming, be, and are hereby,
authorized and directed forthwith
to investigate the panic Of 1907
and the causes thereof; to ascertain
who, if any, were the chief bene-
ficiaries Of that panic, and who
were those who chiefly suffered
from it, and whether or not it was
brought about by the conspiracy
or oonnivanoe or conduct of private
persons or of corporations or of
the officers of any corporations in
the United States.
Senator Owen said:
"The reason why l introduce
this resolution providing for an
investigation of the panic Of 1907
is because | think that panic was
artificially created. 1 believe that
that panic was brought about by u
deliberate conspiracy, having for
its purpose the enrichment of
those who brought it about, and
incidentally to use the panic for
political purposes and suppress
the progressive movement.
II call the attention Of the sen.
ate and of the country to the fact
that there are now very small
number of men who control in the
United States the power both of
expanding credits and of contract
ing credits nationally, and that the
unrestrained nationwide power to
contract credits means the power
to create a panic. It means the
power to cause commercial paraly-
sis. and it means that such q power
can be used to ooerce this country
politically. 1t is very dangerous
power to be allowed to go without
any restraint, and to 90 without
full knowledge upon the part Of
the people of this country"
