how TO CUT POTATOES
Hand Cutting Better Than Machine
Method.

BY G. r.. BLISS, Iowa State College.
Careful attention to the cutting OF
the seed potato to insure proper seed
will aid materially in getting goo1
"stand" of potatoes and high yield.
The method Of cutting must depend
upon the size and shape of the tubers
and the number Of eyes. The variety
has very important bearing on this
subject. It is best to cut lengthwise
in case of all the roundish or oblong
varieties. Such types have few eyes
and these are usually grouped near
the seed end. In order to get them
evenly distributed one must cut
lengthwise.
The long varieties have more eyes,
which are more evenly scattered over
the entire tuber. Because Of this fact
and the ungainly shape when cut
lengthwise, it is best to cut crosswise
in many cases.
It is advisable to choose medium
sized tubers, regular in shape, free
from prongs with single, strong, but
shallow eyes. Cut potato weigh
ing one-haf pound into four quarters
lengthwise. A potato weighing .
pound may be cut into eight pieces.
Halve one weighing less than halt .

The use of the tractor has meant
more to some than simply cutting OF
costs; it has resulted in deeper plow-
ing, quicker harvesting, and it has
greatly increased the efficiency OF
every implement which can be used
with it.

GAYN0R ESCAPES ARREST

before planting. If cut and piled up
for several days they heat and spoil.
If cut for any length Of time before
planting put in sacks or small piles
and sprinkle dust or Stacked lime over
them to prevent rapid evaporation Of
the moisture. When one plants i'm
mediately this is also advisable be-
cause it prevents the moist pieces
sticking together when being planted.
Treat with formalin for scab before
cutting.
Few machines for cutting potatoes
are satisfactory. They cut too fine
and do not distribute the eyes proper
ly. For 40-acre field it would pay
to hire reliable men or boys to cut
properly by hand rather than use tho
average potato cutter. The only cut
ter which can be used to advantage
is one which quarters. Even then the
tubers used should be carefully selec-
ted and Of uniform size and shape.
For roundish smooth potatoes aver
aging one-half pound each such Z
machine can be used to advantage.

pound. Two strong eyes is enough
for any piece, but liberal supply Of
reserve food or flesh should go
with them. Planting whole potatoes.
especially small ones, is Objectionable
because of the large number of eyes.
The number will vary from ten to
twenty in Rural New Yorker to al
most twice as many in one of the long
type. Usually only portion of these

the number is too large, however. 1t

TWO lOWANS IN THE PARTY
DR.. and Mrs. r. M. Anderson Accom-
panied Stefansson.

Victoria, b. c., Nov. 19.-Professor
Vilhjalmar Stefansson, who sailed
from Esquimalt, b. c., near here, last
summer, and all members of his party
were in good health when they were
heard from in August. Since then no
message has been received.
Among the members of his party as
composed when it left for the North
were DIR. and Mrs. r. M. Anderson of
Iowa City, where the doctor was con-
nected with the University of Iowa,
an institution from which Stefansson
was graduated and which he visited a
short time before he went east to pre-
pare for his journey to the Arctic.
The Canadian government furnished
the steam whaler Karluk and financ-
ed the expedition, upon which Stef-
ansson hoped to wipe off the map
much of the white space Indicative of
unexplored regions. A powerful wire
less apparatus, designed to carry mes
sages 1000 miles, was installed on
the ship in order that at frequent in.
tervals the explorers could tell the
world of progress made and of new
discoveries.

Talk of a Democratic caucus was

Fear for Safety Of Stefans-
son Expedition.
LAST WORD In AUGUST
Steamer on Which They Sailed and
tions Say There Is Little Hope.

Seattle, Nov. 19-Vilhjalmar Ster-
ansson, Arctic explorer, discoverer of
the white Eskimos, who was aboard
the steamship Karluk when that ves-
sci was last sighted off Flaxman isl
and on Aug. IA, possibly is lost, as
is the vessel and all other on board
Nothing has been seen or heard of
the vessel since that date, though ex-
tensive search has been made for it,.
Whalers say there is little hope that
the vessel ever will be discovered, as
the steamship is known to have en-.
countered the heavy weather which
prevailed off the Alaskan coast early
liz October.
The whaler Belvidere and steam
schooner Mary Sachs, also in the ex-
pedition, were reported, in company
with the karluk, by Captain John
Backland, whose own vessel was lost
in the ice at Point Barrow in August.
Backland said Stefansson's boats had
found a lead in the ice east of Point
hoiioN ahh away W tuN
northeast before he started for Seat
tie.
The supposition here among those
familiar with Stefansson's plans is
that his ships were frozen in. 1t is
possible that they have been crushed
as they We're not built to resist the
ice pressure. In such an event the
party may have taken to the ice.
A fourth Stefansson ship, the Alas
ka. is frozen in near shore east oi
Point Barrow.

HUERTA'S FINAL
ACT OF DEFIANCE
Preliminary Organization Of
Congress Completed.
MEXICANS ARE SURPRISED
Inactivity of Washington Officials In
View of Dctator's Attitude Leads
Many to Believe That the United
States is Bluffng.

States Is Bluffing.
Mexico City, Nov. 19.-The compile
tion of the preliminary organization
of both branches of the new Mexican
| congress is regarded here as putting
the final touches to President Huerta's S
defiance.
Surprise was caused here by dis
patches indicating that President Will
son does not contemplate any active
| measures to support the warning CIV
en- by John Lind to General Huerta
against permitting the congress to
| convene.
Talk of the possibility of Huerta's
| resigning is still heard, but all his
acts and utterances are calculated to
| dissipate the idea.
1t has been suggested that Washing
| ton has been given assurances that
| General Huerta will resign after the
new Mexican congress has ratified his
acts since the dissolution of the for
mer congress.
Foreigners had been keyed up to a
point at which any action promising
relief from the prevailing tension
would have been acceptable.
Some Hope for Intervention.
There is a large proportion of the
native population which appears to
be keenly alive 10 the necessity OF
bringing present conditions to an end,
and which looks upon Intervention as
the only relief In sight.
Mexican officials seem to be con-
vinced that the United States is bluff
ing and are quoted as stating that
they are satisfied there will be no
armed interference with their affairs.
A singular fast is the continued alb
sence of anti-American spirit among
the Mexican populace. The efforts OF
lcertain native newspapers to stir up
such feeling have met with little sue.
Icess.
| Similar efforts at the time of the Ma
! dero revolution filled the streets OF
the capital with mobs of the lower
classes led by students, who shouted
lagainst everything American. Mexi
cans explain the difference in senti
Iment as due to the character OF the
Ipresent controversy, which fails to en-
!, list the sympathy of the people.

IN ATTITUDE OF WAITING
Cabinet Talks Mexico but Takes Nc
Action,

Washington, Nov. 19-President
Wilson and the cabinet discussed lat
lest phases of the Mexican situation.
Some officials were inclined to believe
the Mexican congress would heed the
warning of the United States and take
no action on concessions.
Talk of blockade of Mexican ports
was revived, but high officials said
such a step had not been determined
upon and the report that Carranza
might not need the lifting of the en-
barge on arms to insure his success
strengthened the conviction of officials
that such step should be taken only
In a remote contingency.
Confidence prevailed that the Unit.
ed States might wait few days for
the full effect of the recent Constitu-
tionalist victories and for the attitude
/ OF foreign governments to become
more emphasized.
