he wondered why his head was playing
rub-a-dub. And later in the afternoon
he'd had a beer or two. a sardelle sand

POTATOES IN THE VALLEY
frisco DISTRIBUTING PAMPH-
LET ON CONDITION OF POTATO
CULTURE IN VALLEY.
Especial to The HcraId.)

NcptCldt 10 1Hc HCfGtd.)
hlhgsvllle, Jan 14-That the territory
tributary to the Frisco lines in Texas
is especially adapted to the production
OF Irish potatoes is the firm conviction
OF the officials Of that system. Last
summer President B. L. WinchelI of the
Frisco lines became convinced that n
much larger quantity of potatoes could
DE produced along his lines in Texas
II that their production would result
III material profit to the farmers as well
as to the railroad company. After inves-
lgatlng the situation thoroughly. Mr..
Wlnchell requested Assistant General
Manager William Doherty to outline
plans for a campaign designed to bring
about a greater potato production in
Frisco territory.
Careful plans were laid by the experts
of the Frisco agricultural department
and a lumber of meetings nave been held
at various points along the line. The
result is that there will be a material in
crease III potato acreage this year. It
was found, however, that t would be i'm
possible for members Of the agricultural
department to personally visit all Of the
interested farmers and explain to them
III detail the safest and most profitable
method of producing the crop. For the
purpose Of reaching a larger number
of people than would be possible BY per
sonal contact, DR.. III. ii. Harrington has
prepared a pamphlet entitled Irish Pc
tatoes: Method of handling as a Money
Crop" which has been printed by the
Frisco and is now being distributed to
all the farmers who are interested. This
pamphlet is condensed, but covers the
subject thoroughly in a most practical
way. Besides telling of cultural meth
DDS, it tells the character of soil best
adapted to potatoes, the varieties best
adapted to this country, and gives treat
ment for all kinds Of diseases and in
sect pests that may aflict the potato.
Any person who will take this pamphlet
and follow its directions will be success
full in potato growing. The pamphlet is
written in clear and simple language
and, as condensed, contains in its few
pages all of the information about po-
tatoes that a practical farmer needs.
1t has been clearly demonstrated by
past experiences that Irish potatoes can
be produced in the Gulf Coast country Of
Texas at a time when they command
very high prices and. lnaSmuch as the
crop is off the land in time for Il sec
ond one to follow it, it is considered one
Of the most profitable truck crops that
can be grown.
