FOUR SPUD CROPS A YEAR.
Spaniard's Methods May Be Good For
Others to Initiate.


From Spain comes the report of a
Spaniard who grew four crops of po-
tatoes on the same land in twelve
months. The potatoes were grown I'M
der ordinary conditions and the
ground was fortified with horse ma
nure.
First crop, Scotch seed potatoes,
planted Aug. % and dug Nov. G, 1911.
fair size, firm and good quality; sec
ond crop, Scotch seed potatoes, planted
Nov. 0, 1911. and dug Feb. 10, 1912.
fair size and very good quality; third
crop, Scotch seed potatoes, planted
Feb. 21 and dug May 10, 1912, large
size and much better than those of
preceding crops; fourth crop, Spanish
seed potatoes, planted May % and dug
Aug. 10, 1912, poor yield and potatoes
small.
The grower attributes the poor quail
ty Of the last crop to inferior seed lack
of water for irrigation and to several
very hot winds that prevailed in July;
but. as in other years, the crop of this
same period has been a good one, the
low yield of 1912 does not detract from
the feasibility of the plan.-Rural New

Auto Breeder Punished :.

A wealthy young merchant of one of
the cities of New Jersey was sentenced
to thirty days at hard labor the
county farm recently for wrecklng a
car and injuring himself and three
others on a night joy-riding expedition.
The simple fact of wrecking the car
would not have called down upon him
the punishment, but the fact that he
was so full of champagne that he was
unfit to manage the car brought him
under the penalty Of a law just passed
by the New Jersey Legislature, impos-
ing Imprisonment upon man under
taking to run an automobile while in
toXicatcd. 1t is necessary for society
to make the strictest eXactions with
reference to motor car accidents, and
nothing is more necessary than requir-
ing auto drivers to be sober men. That
this rich young man received the prison
sentence is an encouraging sign of the
triumph Of our democracy, where equal
justice should be meted out to all, the
richest as well as the poorest. The

GRANITE STATE FORESTS.

New Hampshire deserved much credit
for what it has done and for what it is
planning to do for the preservation of
its splendid forests. The national gov
eminent has done much in the creation
of the extensive White Mountain reser-
walton, but within the state itself the
Society for Protection of New Hamp-
shire Forests, the state forestry COM
mission and other organizations have
not only aroused the people to the need
of intelligent efforts to preserve the for
ests, both as a source of timber and
water supply and as an important asset
in the great vacation industry of the
state, but they have also acquired nu-
merous large and valuable tracts apart
from the national reservation.
In these matters New Hampshire is a
leader among the states of the Union,
and thus the sixth annual forestry con-
ference, which will be held at Sunapee
next week, is an event of special signif-
icance. Forestry leaders the country
over will take part in the meeting that
fill four days. AT Sunpee beautiful
tract of $50 acres, including Lake Soil
tude, which is $500 feet above the sea
level, has recently been bought for the
Society for Projection of New Hamp-
shire Forests. 1t is also a matter for
congratulation that 600 acres on the
summit and slopes of grand old Mt Mo-
nadnock have just come into the pos
session of the society through the pub
lie spirit of the heirs of those to whom
George III. gave a grant of the region.

JAIL FOR DRUNKEN AND NEAR
DRUNKEN DRIVERS.

Whether or rot they have formally
voted" to do so, the district and police
judges of Massachusetts and of every
other State, for that matter-may well
impose Jail sentences on automobilists
found guilty of drunk enness while driv-
ing their machines. There is law
enough to warrant it, and public senti-
ment, among automobilists especially,
certainly approves it. No drunken
man can possibly be safe driver A
fine is not sufficient punishment for a
man who drives an automobile when
under the influence of liquor. Often it
is no punishment at all.
And not only should Jail sentences
be inflicted on drivers who are drunk
from the drinking of too much liquor,
but also on those who are drunk
with speed madness or with contempt
for the rights or safety of others.
Jail sentences, meted out as the reg
most effective temperance sermon to
the victims, and they will have a
highly SOLDERING effect on reckless
drivers who have thus far escaped
arrest. A beginning has been made
in several local courts, and the exam
pie should be followed throughout the
State. Sometimes the officers or judge
may be in doubt as to whether the
driver was far enough under the influ-
ence of liquor to be called drunk,
and in such cases not the driver, but
the public and the careful and law
abiding driver should be given the
benefit of the doubt. The safe rule i:
to Jail automobiles who drive cars as
though they were drunk, no matter how
much or little they have been drinking

FRIDAY, JULY IS, 1913.
PANAMA CANAL AND TRADE.

New York, already the worlds great
est port, expects a large increase in
trade following the opening of the
Panama Canal. Statistics brought to-
gether by the Merchants association
show that the value of New York's
exports and imports in the fiscal year
ending June 80 was 81, 973, 9S1 ,693, as
compared with 81, 791, S5764 for Lon
don, 1874, 1877, JIG for Hamburg, and
81 ,637, $50, 476 for Liverpool
1t is easy to see why the largest city
on the continent and the worlds most
important port looks for great com
mercial development now that the
opening of the canal is near. The
reasons, all practical and easily under
stood, are stated by writer in the
New York Journal of Commerce, who
says: "The opening of the Panama
Canal makes New York city the focus
of the principal trade routes of the
world. The striking character of New
York s supremacy as the new center
of the worlds trade is shown by the
fact that with the opening of the Pan
anna Canal New York will be 1900
miles nearer Yokohama than Liver
pool; $500 miles nearer Sydney; 1000
miles nearer Wellington; and 2574
miles nearer Valparaiso. Since Liver
pool is practically 500 miles nearer
these ports than either Bremen or
Hamburg, the significance of the New
York location is emphatic. When the
new waterway is open New York will
have an opportunity to develop her
commerce to an extent which a few
years ago would have seemed impossi-

Far be it from the Free Press to take
the stand that automobiles ought to be
free to abuse their privileges of the
road. They ought to have no such
freedom. Compulsory safe driving ben
efits the automoblist most of all by pro-
tecting him from the recklessness of
other drivers. What we want is the
right kind of laws rightly enforced with
favortism for none and fairness to all.

Arraiened for Auto SPEEDING.

Dr. j. C. Morgan of Stowe was in
Burlington to answer to a charge of not
needing an officers signal to stop when
driving an automobile. He was ar
raigned in city court on the charge and
at his request the case was continued
until August %. Edmund C. Mower
became his surety in the sum of SIS.
The complaint was made Sunday by
Officer Thomas Collins, on duty on South
Union street. It's alleged that Morgan
was driving at fast rate and paid no
heed to the officers signals to stop, al
though several witnesses claim that
Morgan showed every indication of hav-
ing observed them. The maximum fine
in such a case is 500 Burlington Free

1t is a matter of regret that. while
bees perform most useful function
in the process of cross fertilization in
different kinds of fruit trees they are
also one of the chief factors in scat

There will be an investigation to fix
responsibility for the loss of many lives
in the Binghamton factory fire. 1t is
clear that precautions that should have
been taken were neglected, but the
blame cannot be placed until all the
facts are known. If it is true, as re-
ported, that when the gongs gave the
employees warning many of the girls
went on with their work, saying they
supposed that was only signal for a
fire drill, there was an inexcusable lack
of discipline in the factory. The fire
drill, when properly conducted, is an
important safeguard, but it is worse
than useless if employees are permitted
to ignore the alarm for an instant. -
