HOW TO PREPARE SPEECHES
John Bright Considered What II Was
That He Wished to Impress
Upon His Audience.

Don't speak unless you have
something to say. Don't be tempted
TO 20 on after you have said it," was
the advice of John Bright, the great
orator. His biographer, Mr.. II. Il.
O'Brien. says that he took great pains
in the preparation of his speeches. He
thought the subject over night and
day, and sometimes committed the
peroration and other important pas

the moment for the words In which
to clothe his ideas Writing TO a cor.
respondent in 1883. Bright said:
AS to modes of preparation for

man would readily discover what
suits him best.

may write down as sometimes. almost

sentences may be written"
Upon one occasion he gave Mr.. G,
W. Z. Russell some hints about speech
making.
"Of course" writes Mr.. Russell. Il
cannot recall verbally what he said,
but II was like this:

LARGE POTATOES FOR SEED

In 1905 trial was made In the use
of small and large seed. II was found
for that year that when large tubers
were planted (using about 35 bushels
of seed per acre. the value per acre
OF the crop. less the cost of seed. was
about twice as large as was the value
of the crop when small tubers We're
used for seed. planted at the rate OF
about bushels per acre
The same experiment was repeated
in 1909. The large tubers used for
seed were very large. and many OF
the small tubers were large enough
for cooking. A third plat was planted
as a check plat. using cut pieces for
seed.
The tubers were valued at thirty
cents per bushel at planting time. and
at one dollar per bushel at digging
time. The spring price was the very
highest obtainable. while In the fall
potatoes We're being retailed at $3.50
per bushel. For conditions OF 1910
the very large amount OF seed used
Is seen to be justified. No allowance
Is made for the increased cost OF

the heavy seeding would still show
excellent profits.
IL is very we'll known that the In
creased sowing OF potato seed will In
crease the yield, but 1t is often a
question TO what extent the heavy
seeding can be carried at a profit. In
the spring of 1910 potatoes were a
drug on the market. Many farmers
could not sell what they had on hand.
With such a condition IL is always
wise to SOW an abundance OF seed.
The seed costs but little. the heavy
seeding will produce an increased
yield, and as a general rule potatoes
are a good price In years following
low prices.
From the table II is seen that the
check plat with cut seed produced
a greater yield per acre than the
small seed. although the amount Of
seed used In the check plat was the
smallest Of the three plats.
The heavy seeding had the great
est number Of stalks per hill. but We
did not find an appreciable larger
percentage Of ANAL potatoes on this
plat.
