.ESK FOR SURVEY
FOR SHIP CHANNEL
Inland Waterways League of Texas
and Louisiana Adopted Resolution
Favcring Brownsville Project.

DR.. S. K Hallam, who returned
Saturday from Palacios where he at
tended the convention of the Inter
state Inland Waterways League Of
was successful in securing the adop-
tion by the league of a resolution
asked for at the recent annual meet
ing of the Brownsville Waterways
Association
The resolution requests that the
proposed ship channel from Brazos
Santiago Pass to Brownsville be re-
cognized as part of the proposed in
tercoastal canal, now under contruc-
ton now under construction from
the Mississippi river TO Brazos San
tiago. Government appropriation
made thus far are for work on the
canal to a point forty miles from
Point Isabel, and much of the con-
struction is already under way.
A provision of the resolution con-
tanned a recommendation for sur
vey for shiu hannel from Bra
zos Pass to Brownsville. 1t is desir-
ed that this survey be made under
the direction of and at the expense
Of the government. An effort will be
made to get the next congress to make
this appropriation, and it is also pos
sble that an effort will be made to
secure an appropriation for the ac-
tual construction. This, however, will
be contingent upon the report to be
made by Col. r. s. Richie, when he
comes here for the investigation.
Sol Richie, DR.. Hallam says. will
not visit this city before the holi-
days He had intended to come dur
ing the early part of December, but

OUR FORMER MAYOR
CLAIMS THE OFFICE
BENZ. KOWALSKI SEEKS TO FILE
INTERVENTION PLEA.
New Factor May Be Injected in Hear
ing of Municipal Election Cases
Attorneys for Respondent Strenu-
ously Oppose the More.

Claiming that the evidence already
introduced in the mayoralty contest
case has proven that there were ir-
regularities in the municipal election
held here last April, and that the
election was not conducted in ac-
cordance with the law, and therefore
was invalid, Benz. Kowalski, who
was mayor of Brownsville at the
time of the election, and also a can
didate for re-election at the same
election, Saturday morning attempt
ed to file a plea of Intervention, by
which he hopes to show that he is
and of right ought to be mayor of
Brownsville until his successor is
elected lawfully and installed The
plea, which was filed through Mr..
KowalSkis attorney, Emmett X.
Goodrich, was strenously opposed by
the attorneys for the respondent in
the case, A. b. Cole
The objection was based on the
grounds that Mr.. Kowalski and his
attorneys wer1 CT necessity cognizant
of the existing conditions and should
not have waited until the eleventh
hour to file his pleas OF interven-
tiOn.
The attorneys for the state and
for the relator maintained that Mr.
Kowalski had he legal right to file
his plea Of Intervention at any time
during the hearing, provided the plea
did not interfere with the orderly
conduct Of the case
The attorneys for the respondent
asked that they be given time to
write their objections and submit
them to the court at the same time
that the plea was submitted
AS the trial amendment which was
to be submitted by the state was
not in readiness, a recess was first
called until two o'clock in the after
noon at which time a further ex
tension was given until nine o'clock
Monday morning.

main field, giving them as good care
as he gives the main crop. From
these rows he may choose out the best
hills each year for the selected seed
of the next year, using the remainder
of the rows for seed of the main field.
For a small field enough seed can be
secured directly from the selected
hills without growing the selected
rows in addition.
Every potato grower should have a
variety field where he can try several
different varieties and find those best
adapted to his particular conditions.
Different strains of the same variety
often differ in more characters than
the varieties themselves.
Varieties which are quite popular
at present with growers of western
Washington include the Early Rose,
Early Beauty of Hebron. Early Irish
Cobbler, Six Weeks. Vermont Gold
Coin, Uncle Sam and strains of the
Burbank.
Some of our growers by careful
selection are securing strains of vari
cites which surpass the parent strain,
while others are securing new vari-
cites. While this may seem an unim
portant practice to some growers,
it has the tendency to
produce and maintain only the best
strains of the best varieties.
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1912-04-01

ed. Some growers have the inner
teeth of the cultivator shorter so that
they can stir the soil close to the
rows without cutting off lateral and
surface roots. Hill cultivation also
tends to destroy many of these roots
and unless the soil is wet or the
variety apt to grow out of the soil,
billing should not be practiced. The
crop is easier harvested by this
method and it is an easy habit to ac-
quire, but in general is not the best
practice.
SELECTION OF SEED.
One of the most important prin-
ciples of potato growing and one
which is too often neglected is the
selection OF seed. We would not
plant screenings to raise wheat crop
nor use our poorest stock for breed
ing purposes. Why then, should we
use the poorest potatoes in the hill
for seed?
Shortly before digging time go
through the field and mark with
stakes the healthiest, best formed
and most vigorous plants. Dig these
hills first and save the most uniform
tubers from the best yielding hills.
Use these tubers for the selected seed
of next year. If the grower has
large acreage in potatoes he can plant
the selected seed in rows near the
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1912-04-01

ches will be deep enough if the soil is
very heavy. Early potatoes should
not be planted quite as deep as later
varieties.
The distance between rows and hills
will also depend largely upon the
variety of potato. Varieties which
produce large tubers should be plant
ed closer than those which produce
small tubers. Good care will also
permit closer planting than if the soil
is to be neglected.
Varieties which produce large
tubers will usually require from seven
to ten sacks per acre for planting,
while varieties having smaller tubers
will only require from three to six
sacks Only clean and healthy seed
should be planted as rotten or scabby
seed is apt to inoculate the soil with
spores of the disease.
CULTIVATION.
AS soou as the seed is planted,
cultivation should begin. Harrow
thoroughly every week or ten days
until the plants are well above the
ground. After this the surface soil
should be cultivated often enough to
hold mulch and any large weeds
kept down with hoe. Cultivating
deep, close to the plants after they
are half grown will break off many
lateral roots and this should be avoid
