THE POTATOES

While there is q diversity of opiI
ion among potato growers as to tn
best time at which to begin irrigar
ing potatoes, there is no doubt tina
all have started before this time.
. Hence the main consideration durin
J the remainder of the season will b
how much water to apply, how oftel
to apply ii. and how late in the sea
son to continue the application.
| AS to the first; our work here in
dicates that medium amount of wat
er produces the best results both al
to quantity and quality of potatoes
1t is not possible for us to say exact
iy what amount of water in acre fee
is the best for potatoes in general;
since the amount that must be ap.
piled will vary with the character OF
the SOIL At this station the soil is a
medium heavy clay loan with very
little or no undertakings and from
2 to 2R feet of water appears to be
the best amount for potatoes.
The application of less than this
amount gave us smaller total yield
and much larger percentage of culls
IN case of the maximum irrigation
he potatoes were of poorer quality
han those receiving medium a.
noun although the yield was not
materially different. So that besides
reducing the quality of the crop the
expense Of applying the extra amount
of water was dead loss.
With regard to the frequency of
irrigation we believe that under all
conditions light, frequent applications
will be found better than heavier ir-
rigation farther apart. Incases where
the water is applied frequently and
followed by surface content is kept
fairly constant and steady uniform
growth of tubers is the result. But
where considerable amount of time
elapses between heavy irrigations the
of soil moisture f1uctuates
widely, Growth starts rapidly. is re-
tarded for a time and then starts
again. The result of this is that the
show excrescent growths and
which mar the uniform
ty of the crop.
Under climatic conditions such as
We usually have in Southern Idaho
Ind most of our standard varieties
If potatoes irrigation should cease
bout the third week in August. BY
his time the tubers will have at
aimed full size and with no more ir-
igation will have plenty of time to
ipen.
To summarize, after the irrigation
as been started (which we believe
hould be when the tubers begin to
orm) the soil moisture content
lould be kept as nearly unifrom as
ossible by the application of a med
i'm amount of water in frequent ir-
cations until all irrigation ceases
, allow the potatoes to ripen.
Everyone knows that uniformity
! product is one of the principal
Ictors in the marketing of all farm
'oduce. Proper attention to the ir- Y
cation of our potato crop will do
UGH to bring about that desired uni ii
rmity and to permanently establish Q
If product in the markets of the !

raised a greater question is involved
from the standpoint of the sherin
than that of the first point The last
question has two-fold point. Now
the sheriffs, or rather the most of
them, have been receiving the inter
est, which in the aggregate amounts
to anywhere from 100000 to $4,000
a year. 1t has also been a custom
that where taxes are not paid early
or before the interest is added, county
orders have been endorsed by the
sheriff and they bear interest until
paid. These orders may carry inter-
est for several months. That interest
is paid by the county, while the sher-
IFS have been collecting the taxes
after the first Of the year, with the
added penalty, and retaining the PEN
atty, If the sheriEs are denied the
right to this interest or penalty, It is
contended, that greater effort in many
instances will be made to collect the
taxes before the first of the year and
thereby the counties saved large sums
Of money. The interest that has been
taken by the sheriffs in the greater
majority of the counties would also
go into the county treasury.
In the case of the second point
the difference between five and seven
and one-half per cent for the COL
lection of road road states is not 4
very large item. This confusion was
brought about by the legislature pass
ing the general road law four days
after it had passed a law fixing a
commission of five per cent for the
collecting of all taxes, including road
taxes. The sections of the road law

CHARLESTON, Jan. 1S-Three
very important questions now caus-
ing considerable interest relative to
what county officials are entitled to
in the way of fees is now in the hands
of the Supreme Court of Appeals of
this state. The case in which these
questions are involved is that of
Nease VS.. Smith, sheriff OF Kanawha
county. The three points are:
Is Smith entitled to the sum of
$16OO,4S, aggregate interest or pen
atty collected by him on all taxes
paid after the first day of January,
1910?
Is Smith entitled to seven and one
half per cent for collecting district
road taxes, or is he entitled to five
per cent?
Is Smith required to account for
and pay into the county treasury IF
teen per cent of the fees and emolu.
ments of his office, where the same
exceed 100000, under the provisions
of Chapter 10, Acts 1908?
These are the three points raised
by Mr.. Nease, a taxpayer of Kanawha
county. The sheriffs have been con-
tending they are entitled to all in
terest added to taxes as penalty
for failure to pay before the first Of
each year. They have also contended
that they are not required to pay
into the county treasury fifteen per
cent of the emolumeuts of the Office
In the case of the third point

that was copied in the last act were
taken from. the alternate road act
of 1881, which gave seven and one
half per cent for the collecting Of
road taxes. 1t is contended by the
tax commissioners department that
the sheriffs are only entitled to five
per cent because the act fixing the
commission the sheriffs shall receive
names specifically five per cent-the
act being one fixing the compensa-
ton of county officials.
The first point raised by Mr.. Nease
in his case is that of the compensa-
ton sheriff is entitled to. In fact
the same point would enter into every
other county office where fees are
collected The tax commissioner has
contended that the sheriff was entitled
to eighty-five per cent of the emolu-
ments of his office, with a minimum
compensation, as provided by statute,
of 100000. This would leave fifteen
per cent to go into the county treas
ury.
Chapter fifteen when enacted had
two-fofd purpose. First, to require
an accounting by the officers named.
SO that future legislatures might
know the income of the respective
offices; and, second, for the purpose
Of revenue to the counties. In this
It was provided that certain percen-
tages Of the emoluments, under GER
tain conditions, were payable into the
county treasures.
The tax commissioner as well as
the attorneys for the sherlffs associa-
ton which lis fighting the case, have
asked the supreme court to pass up
on the questions at an early date
as possible. Contrary to expectation
there were no oral arguments. With
these points, 1t is now believed that
all points at issue between the tax
commissioner and county officials are
now within the breast OF the supreme
court.

RA
Maude Adams is to Present at
Fairmont Soon Briefly
Described.

Under the auspices of the Woman
Club, Miss Maude Adams will appear
in Rostand's much discussed poetic
drama "chantecler'' al the Grand
opera house, Fairmont, on the even
/ ing of February 70. The play is an
absorbing mixture Of interesting and
picturesque novelty with Its gigantic
scenery and fantastic animal costumes,
with its penetrating satire on the
extravagances of modern life, with
its powerful and obvious symbolism
and rich verse.
AS almost everyone knows the
scene Of this production is laid in a
baInyard, and the persons on the
stage are fowls always found In barn
yards following out their little des-
TIMES between the wheels of cart
or before a dog kennel. In such
surroundings Chantecler stands as
the typical egotist-young, ardent, in
experienced-who imagines that the
world cannot progress without him.
At the height of his self-confidence he
falls in love with charmer, who,
catering to his vanity, establishes
her dominion over him until she
leads him to betray his cherished
secret, his faith, that his cali alone
brings each mornings sun to the
world. This disclosure prepares the
way for the shock of most painful
disillusIon Slowly he discovers
that he is not the idol of the universe
i that his high courage avails little
against the trained skill of an enemy
and even, without his call, the sun
! appears as usual. His experience
shakes his faith in himself and in
his work. But at the end he per.
ceives that his chosen mission, though
not SO all important as he thought
it, is yet honorable and benefcient
and that, If he cannot make the sur
rise, he may, at least, arouse the
sleeping world from its slumbers.
: Such is the theme in which Rostand
with unanalyzable charm, philosophy
and fantastic eloquence, expresses ii
poetic form his wish for the simple
and genuine in modern life. He has
e Emerged the truth of nature into the
y reliance of his cause. He has created
u a symbolism that is an Obvious plat
!, form on which to set forth.a creed O
( great elevation plot with suaicien,
r action to hold always the interest ant
n suspense. Therefore the result is {
n supu:b medium in which Miss Adams
e may say finally that she had Ions
e been struggling to express, say i
: with intellectual understanding will
: an exultant distinction, with the fir,
of life.
Throughout the first act she I!
S brilliant in the serenity of trlumphan
pride, rising to her greatest heigh
: when she speaks the radiant hymn tt
the sun. In the second act she il
filled with vibrating sesitiveness
= a spirit of brave, despite the frailty
of the body, burning with poetic fire
1 singing not from vanity or pride but
because it is the command of the very
soul that the song be uttered. In the
third act she brings forth all of hel
irresistible pathos. In the last she
becomes the essence of a valiant sou
struggling with the disillusionment
of the world, ready to take up the
task and in no matter how humble
its sphere, to find beauty there.

DRAG EXPERT, WHO WILL BE
IN PENSACOLA TOMORROW.

Tomorrow is the day for the lecture
and demonstration Of D. Ward King,
the famous split-log drag expert,
whose visit to this city has been ar
ranged for by the Pensacola CONNER
cial Association without cost to the
county and Secretary Henderson,
when seen by a representative of The
Journal yesterday afternoon, was
busily engaged in preparing plans
and arranging final details for the oc-
casion.
Through the kindness of Dr. Blocker,
chairman of the board of public works,
the city has agreed to furnish the
teams to pull the drag and also to
furnish the water and the street
sprinkler, provided this is needed. 1t
is absolutely necessary that the road
upon which the demonstration is to
occur should be thoroughly wet, in or
der to produce the desired results.
Chairman Geo. A. Berry, of the good
roads committee, has made arrange
ments for special cars 10 convey those
who attend the demonstration. which

at the end of Barrancas avenue, near

Mr.. Berry has also had the drag
MAUI dCSOIu1uS 10 INSTRUCTIONS, ana
this part of the arrangements have
been completed.
The lecture is to occur in the au-
ditortum of the San Carlos hotel at
3 o'clock in the afternoon and every
body is urged to attend both the lee
ture and the demonstration.
Speaking of the matter yesterday
afternoon. Mr.. Henderson said:
There is no doubt in my mind that
this demonstration and lecture win be
worth money to Escambia county, If
the people will only attend and pay
attention to the expert. 1t is to be
hoped that every citizen who can pos
sibly do so, whether he lives in the
country or IN town, will attend the
demonstration and lecture both.
The county commissioners should
take interest in the affair and urge
their constituents to attend, as it will
probably show them how to improve
the roads all over the county without
tho heavy expenditures which have
her etofore been necessary
The following comments show what
is thought of the work of Mr. King

Alexandra zaIeski, in female and /
male earb.

Erie, Pa, April Flor two years
Mrs. Alexandra Zaleski masqueraded
as a man, doing a mans work in loco

sex might not have been revealed here
but for a feminine weakness which
of Mysteries, and then everybody knew
she was not a man.
Alexandra is only twenty. At six
leski at Gary, w. Va. There they lived
happily until after the death of their
first child, when the husband wandered
away from home. Alexandra, fearing
that her husbands reason might have
been unsettled by grief over the child's
death, determined to search for him.
In order that she might get about with
out interference, she decided to wear
mems clothes.
She first struck out for New York
city, where she obtained a job as ele-
vator boy in a skyscraper. That was
two years ago. Since then she has
heated rivets in the Baldwin locono-
tive works at Philadelphia, where she
went out on a strike with union boiler
makers, driven mules in an anthracite
coal mine near Wilkes Barre, mined
soft coal in the Monongahela fields of
Ohio and Pennsylvania, and worked in
a paper mill in Erie. Her last male
vocation was running a drill press in
machine shop here.
When the truth came out, Mrs. Ia
leski concluded to stick to woman's at
tire in future.
