How to Raise Potatoes For Big
Profits.

How to Raise Potatoes For Big
Profits.
The aim in raising potatoes should be
to plant SO as to get the biggest yield
and at the same time with the least
expense. One of the farmers in Som
erset county. Me-, who have been able
to do this most successfully is f. e.
Davis. He has received as big yield
as 800 bushels per acre in some in
stances and on the whole 800 to 500
bushels per acre. He tells his story
how he did it, which many farmers
would do well to follow. He writes IN
the American Cultivator as follows:
The soil must be in the best pos
sible condition as regard filth and fer
tility. The dirt should ne made fine
and mellow and the soil OF good depth
before planting the seed If the piece
Is of clover sod then the time for plow-
ing does not count so much. yet in
this case an application Of small coat
OF manure is good and enables us to re-
duce the expense Of commercial ferti-
lizer at least one-half and to further
increase the yield OF from fifty to a
hundred bushels per acre, yet care
should be taken not to put on too
much manure
Flowing and planting are only a
small part of the work of raising no
tatoes. They require considerable
care. II in dry season they should
he cultivated often, the loose dirt hav-
Ing a tendency to moisten the plants.
II you wish to raise the largest pos
sible crop, 500 bushels or more per
acre, you must get as many perfect
bills to reach full maturity as possible.
advise rows two and one-half feet
apart and seed pieces to be dropped
twelve to fifteen inches apart in the
drill. using a good sized seed cut one
to three eyes.
In raising 800 bushels per acre
make lie rows three feet apart. Place
the seed pieces eighteen to twenty
inches apart and don't take quite so
much l;iins in cutting seed. One ton
Of the best commercial fertilizer is not
usually too much per acre. find it

Of the Normal school, faculty and citi.
zens, during the general exercises in
the auditorium this morning.
DR.. Gillies opened his address by re.
citing the story Of Michelangelo and
the block OF marbel, which had been
brought to Rome many centuries ago
to be carved into magnificent statue,
but instead was spoiled and discarded
to lay in a rubbish heap, until the
young sculptor saw in it possibilities
and fired by passion hewed out Of the
cold marble the statute Of David now
viewed and marvelled at by tourists
from the four corners Of the earth.
For two years, the sculptor worked
at the magnificent work Of art at a
pittance of SLIPS a month, then re.
ceiving $500 when it was completed
He was moved by passion TO accom-
plish what had previously been given
up, the speaker said, and not by pay.
"The whole statute breaches a ser
mon of the man who can" said DR.
Gillies, "The man who achieves where
others fail. Some say men cannot
create, but bear testimony that man
can create. The Master Hand creates
all, but man has his part. A ton Of
pig iron sells for $40, but when it Is
made into watch springs, 1t sells 70,

bought canvas for twenty cents and
for few cents more purchased brush

DEFINITE ACTION
BUILD PRESIDENT
BOARD OF TRUSTEES AND
ALUMNI COMMITTEE MEET
JOINTLY.

The board of trustees of Hendrix
College and the building committee of
the Alumni Association of the insti-
tuition held joint meeting for the
purpose of discussing the proposition
of building presidents home on the
college campus, and as result, cam
paign for the purpose of raising funds
among the students and ex-students of
Hendrix will be instituted at once AL
most as soon as adjournment was TAX
en- by the two bodies three subscrip-
tions for $500 each were made. y
The committee appointed by Presi-
dent Garner Fraser, consisting of G.
L. Bahner, chairman, and 7. E. Helm
and E. r. Steel, have selected Prof.
w. 3. Hubbell, financial agent of Hen
dirk College, as executive agent in So

ing, and he will at once begin the
task.
: 1t is thought very little difficulty
will be experienced by Prof. Hubbell
in securing the subscriptions, as the
enthusiasm among the students and
ex-students is very great.
One of the agreements made to
President Reynolds by the board of
trustees of Hendrix is that the board
build a presidents home and increase
the endowment of the school to $780,

~inaugurated already for this purpose,
and almost daily the endowment is in

PRESIDENT OF THE FARM
ERS' UNION.

M'Neil, Ark, Aug. 8.-The Farm
ers' Union yesterday went on record
as opposing the Clarke amendment to

exchanges and not delivered. A tele-
gram was received from Senator
Clarke and read at the morning ses-
sion, which follows:
Il have introduced an amendment
to the tariff bill proposing a tax on
cotton future dealing, where delivery
is not made. 1t is generally admitted
that this will prevent parties gam
bling on the price of cotton, and is
the most effective, if not the only, way
in which this can be prevented. There
is noticeable silence on the part of
the Farmers Union organizations in
reference to this amendment. May
have an expression as to what the cot
ton farmers of Arkansas think about
it? Answer. j. P. CLARKE"
Following the reading of the tele-
gram, President Mobley and F. W..
Brodnax, delegate from Van Dousen,
submitted the following answer to the

vent dealing in futures, with which
you are acquainted, is the bill this Or
canization stands for"
The election of officers resulted IN
tthe unanimous reelection of II. 5.

president. J. H. Noteworthy of Nash
Vile was reelected vice president. j..
