she's the best looking and finest COW

giving milk, too, and the calf was in

then called attention to sections of the
Kansas laws making mayors and coun-

ute of limitations.

WIRELESS POTATO
Tubers Yield Well in ~POOr
Stand" as Farmer Thought.
Have "Bumps" but No Eyes
Thought Seed Didn't Grow.

Seneca, Kan, July 81. c. Mooney,
a former Missouri farmer living six
miles southeast of Oneida, is growing
potatoes without tops.
The discovery was made by acct
dent. Two years ago Mr.. Mooney had
trouble in getting seed potatoes His
store at Kampler Switch. Mr.. Won
demkampe, the proprietor, told him
that he had some large white pota-
toes that he considered poor for seed
purposes. The seed was lacking In
eyes, slightly raised bumps taking the
place of the dent that usually form
the eye. Mr.. Mooney gave them a
trial, however, and planted Two snort
rows in his garden.
When the potatoes came up Mr..
Mooney found that he had poor
stand Down the row at least one
third of the hills were missing When
digging time came in 1912, the vacant
spaces in the rows turned out a yield
equal to the hills where plants had
grown.
At this time Mr.. Mooney figured it
out that the plants had been removed
by the family in digging for the sum-
rner meals. In the spring of this
year, a sack of the same variety were
planted and again a poor stand re-
suited. BY chance one day Mr..
Mooney stuck a fork into one of the
vacant spaces and to his surprise
threw out a half dozen good sized
tube s. more careful Investigation
showed the new tubers growing to
good proportions from the bumps that
had taken the place of the eyes on
the mother potato.
Next year he will keep separate the
tubers without tops and plant them
apart from the others.
