Death of John Olander.

John Olander died quite unexpected
ly on Monday morning at his home in
this city from apoplexy. He has been
in feeble hea. tn for number of years.
Mr.. OIander was born of promin-
emf family at Ossaarum, Suckin,
Blekinge Lane, Sweden, on July ID,
1926, and lived there until coming to
this country in 1872. He settled first
in Kansas, where he spent three
years, and then moved to this county.
residing first at Hancock. He came
to Morris in 1879.
He is survived by his widow and
three grown children, Mrs, o. E. Lee,
of Minneapolis, Miss Jennie, who is
teaching at Glenwood, and Bruce. of
this city, and also by three grown
children by his first wife. Ben, OF
Fargo, Ossaan, of Deep River. N. D. ,
and Mrs. Anderson. of Hunter, N.
D.
Mr.. Olander was formerly engaged
in farming. but on account of his poor
health has not been actively engaged
for number of years. He was an
Industrious and intelligent man and
well thought of by all who knew him.
The funeral was held from the
house on Wednesday afternoon. the
service being conducted by Rev. Cal
vim ]. Graves, of the Methodist church.
Ben Akessor. of Granddee, N. D..
brother-in-law of the deceased was
here to attend the funeral, as well
as nearby relatives and friends.

depth, between four and five inches.
Very shallow planting causes the
yield to be cut, down from sunburn
and loss of moisture. Very deep
planting saps the energy of the plant
in getting up, and cuts down the yield
accordingly. The proper distance be-
tween hills is about fourteen inches,
In rows three and one-half feet apart.
When so planted about eleven bushels
of seed per acre is. needed, which the
plots at the University Farm have
shown to give good results.

soaked two hours. Cut only short
time before planting, and do not place
in infected bins or sacks, or plant in
infected soil.

Clean-Up Notice

The time of the year is at hand
when the citizens of the town should
begin the work of cleaning back yards
and alleys of all Objectionable debris
which has collected during the winter
months.
All rubbish should either be burned
or hauled away to the dumping ground.
A small expenditure in keeping back
yards and alleys in ptesentable
shape will in the long run prove pro-
ftable, not only in promoting health
full conditions but in sending up the
value of property itself.
1t is therefore desired that everyone
begin work at once.

Health Commissioner.

aut short by insects;N and, if the In
crease in yield will pay profit on the
operation, spraying should always be
done. The mixture used is Bordeaux
4-4-5O, and Paris green at the rate OF
one pound to eighty gallons of mix
ture. Use sprayer with high, steady
pressure, $50 to 200 pounds; and do
not have spray drip from the leaves.
z. Ward OFF Disease. Among the
common diseases are scab, the treat
ment for which has already been Civ
en-, early blight, late blight, and rot.
Early blight infection comes largely
through the work of the flea beetle.
The Bordeaux spray will usually keep
it away. Late blight is rare In Min
nesota and is controlled practically
entirely with Bordeaux, not CONNER
cially advisable In Minnesota. RIOTS"
are Of several kinds. Fusarium rot
should be specifically guarded against
by selection Of tubers and rotation.
The introduction of good potatoes
from other states ought to be careful
ly safeguarded. Serious diseases,
g. g., wart disease, might be intro
duced. !,
8. One Of the Most Potent Factors
in the Low Yield Of Potatoes Is Bad
Weather. The suggestions given above
point a way to overcome the effects
that many an unobserving person at
tributes to bad weather"
9. Harvest Carefully and Grade
Closely. The tubers should be ma
.ure when dug, and the digger should
be skillfully operated. Bruises and
mutilations allow rot spores to enter
and cut down the market value of the
product: It iss much better to grade
out all unsound and %cull tubers and
Morris tribune. [volume] (Morris, Minn.) 1880-2000, 1912-04-12

use them for feeding purposes on the
farm. Such an operation always helps
command the market for the producer.
10. Form Club and Grow Only
Two or Three Standard Sorts. The
best potato growing districts in the
state are finding this suggestion feas-
ible and profitable. Only few stand
ard sorts are quoted on the markets.
Farmers in a community can usually
fit limited number. of these varieties
to their respective soil conditions.
When carlord lots of such potatoes
are to be found in any locality deal
ers are anxious to send their buyers
into that region, to bid literally for
all the product at harvesting time.

I. Secure Perfect Seed Bed. The
ideal location for potatoes would be
a clover or pasture plot that was deep
ly plOwed the previous fall During
the winter light top dressing of
stable manure should be applied, to
be thoroughly worked in by cross
discfng as soon as the ground is work
able in the spring. Discing an drag
narrowing should be given at proper
intervals, before planting time, to
warm up the ground and kill weeds.
2. Secure Accuracy and Uniformity
of Distance in Planting. All hills and
rows should be accurately gagged in
line and uniformly spaced; for such
conditions give ease of cultivation.
One hill missing out of every ten,
from the potatoes being gouged out by
q cultivator or never having been
dropped, may cut down the possible
yield ten to twenty bushels per acre.
