Directions for Growing the Fall Crop
of Irish Potatoes.

TO the market gardner the fall
crop of Irish potatoes is one of the
most important truck crops grown in
this State. 1t is very profitable when
judiciously grown. In 1908 it was Sec
ond to the cabbage crop in extent in
this State, there having been raised
that year nearly 100000 barrels on
$500 acres. Yet, Notwithstanding the
ease with which this crop can be
grown many Of our farmers are neg
lecting to grow enough for home use,
and are paying from 40 to 60 cents
per peck in the local markets.
Rich, sandy loan underlaid with
subsoil, retentive of moisture, is best
adapted to this crop. However, our
heavier soils in this State with prop
er preparation and fertilization can
be made to produce remunerative
crops. If it is impossible to set aside
q piece Of land especially for this
purpose, the hay or grain land after
the crops have been harvested could
be utilized for this purpose.
To get the best results the ground
should be deeply stirred and pull
verized. A good application of barn
yard manure thoroughly incorporated
into the soil will give good 1csults.
However, If stable manure is not ac-
accessible commercial fertilizer pos
session the following Ingredients
should be applied per acre:
Acid phosphate 16 per cent. 400
pounds.
I, SCottoIsesd 1neaei 500 pounds.
Muriate Of potash 16U podnds.
The fertilizer should be distributed
in the burrows and should be thor
oughly mixed with the soil. Any
time after the first of July is the prop
er time for planting this crop. 1t will
take about ten bushels of seed, pota-
toes plant an acre. When preparing
cut the medium size potatoes into four
pieces and the larger into size pieces,
being careful to have at least two good
eyes on each tuber. This insures a
strong stocky plant They should be
planted in rows three feet apart and
Is inches apart in the row. Imme-
diately after dropping they should be
covered up with four to six inches
OF dirt. 1t is an excellent plant to run
over the ground with a roller, if the
weather is hot and dry, to conserve
moisture
Just as the potatoes begin to sprout
through the ground it is advisable to
run harrow over the rows to break
the crust. Every ten days or two
weeks the patch should be cultivated
until the blossoms begin to appear,
then cultivation should cease. After
the last cultivation the vines should be
hilled up we'll.
TO protect the crop from blight the
vines should be sprayed with Bor-
deaux mixture. The first application
should be made when the vines are
about four inches high, the second
ten days or two weeks later. If the
potato beetle causes trouble arsenate
of lead at the rate of two pounds
should be added to the Bordeaux mix
ture.

A Youthful Hero.

Remarkable heroism and presence
of mind we're displayed by l0-year-old
Tommy Hargrave in Minneapolis on
Monday night. A cry of "Fire!"
awoke the little boy and he sprang
out of bed. His first thought was of
the safety of his baby sister, Mar
garet, who lay in her crib. Wrapping
the 7-months-old mite of humanity in
a blanket he called to his brother,
Warner, aged 9, to do the same with
3-year-old Esther. Then the lad
shouted to his mother to run to the
Fifth precinct police station and turn
in fire alarm. This Mrs. Hargrave
did. While the mother was out Tom
and Warner, carrying the two babies
and followed by brother Cecil, aged s.,
crossed the street through the snow to
the home of Mrs. J. Ospee, 10 Lake
street, where they found refuge.

Al. Num- Heard From.

AL. Num- writes from Portland,
Ore, saying he has been looking over
the country for business location,
but he does not say whether he found
a suitable place or not He enclosed
the following anent potato culture,
which will probably interest some of
our farmers:
A. E.. Bussett of Powell Butte was
in for supplies Saturday. Mr.. Bus
sett says that he will begin planting
potatoes Monday. Snow and rain
have gone right down into the soil
and put it in frst-class condition for
a potato crop. His neighbours, too,
he says, are planting on the high
ground. He has some to dig from
last years crop and he will dig and
plant at the same time. He has tried
the digging and planting before and
got good results. It was in the fall
and the next year he harvested 60
sacks an acre of choice potatoes.
Some of his neighbors cut the seed
and some do not. He does not and
gets good yields. Potatoes do not
rot in the high sandy soil of Powell
Butte.-Crook County Journal, Jan

215 cars have left here, which is a
good record considering that shippers
we're handicapped by sub : zero

During the past week the warehouse

The Glorious Climate of Montana.


Adolph Chalstrom writes from
Shawmut, Mont, to the Union as
follows:
'"ln the Union of January Is I
noticed a letter from Montana stating
how severe the weather had been and
telling of the vast amount of snow.
In the west central part, where I am
located, conditions are very different.
There has been about two weeks of
bad weather, but there was not more
than five inches of snow at any time.
Since the first part of January the
temperature has averaged 80 degrees
above zero, aud that at O'Clock in
the morning. Upon several nights
it did not even freeze. The ground is
thawed out from 4 to s inches deep
and there is practically no snow.
There are thousands of sheep and
many horses and steers out of doors,
and there has been no occasion to
bring them in to feed.''
This, presumably, applies to only
the west central portion of Montana.

c. N. BRACE SUICIDES.
Charley Brace, a Former Resident of
Princeton, Shoots Himself
While Despondent.
Body Was Discovered In an AIIev
Near His Home With q Bullet
Hole in the Head.

Charles M. Brace, aged % years, a
graduate of the 1906 class of the
Princeton high school, and a young
man we'll liked when he resided in this
village, committed suicide at 6:30
O'Clock last Saturday evening by
shooting himself through the head.
The tragedy occurred short distance
from his home, in St. Paul. Mental
depression and partial insanity are
thought to have been the causes which
led up to his self destruction.
The body of the young man was
found lying in an alley across from
his home by L. Bohn of 234 St.
Anthony avenue. A revolver lay by
his side. Mr.. Bonn notified the
Rondo street police station and the
patrol wagon conveyed the body to
Braces home, but it was later re-
moved to the county morgue and from
there to Godbout's undertaking
rooms, 767 Wabasha street. It ap-
pears that no one saw Mr.. Brace
shoot himself or heard the shot.
Charley Brace is survived by a
widow and baby two months old.
He was formerly employed as book
keeper by the Crex Carpet company
but had been out of work several
months, and his inability to obtain
employment apparently brought on
periods of melancholia. He was for a
time in a sanitarium but seemed to
have recovered from the nervous all
ment for which he had been treated
when discharged from that institu-
