EARLY IRISH POTATOES, PREPA-
RATION, PLANTING, CULTURE,
HARVESTING.
BY A. L. Garrison, Chief Feed And
Seed Inspector, Department
AGRICIU TIRE

In a recent letter written by VIM.
Hart Harrison and published in one
of the farm magazines, his views coin
eide with my own so nearly on the
preparation, planting and culture of
early Irish potatoes, that l can hardly
in the preparation of this article get
away from his wording and phrase
olOgy, however there are a few points
on which we differ but which do not
materially affect the result, but will
be pointed out in this article.
Irish potatoes require soil of a
moderately light loamy nature. The
field for the potatoe crop should have
been heavily MANFRED with at
least ten tons per acre. Mr.. Harri-
son suggests that this amnure be broad
cast and turned under. l think a bet
ter plan is to turn the field, then
broad cast the manure and in the
preparation of the see bed it in pulver-
lied and mixed with the soil. The
disc harrow is the best tool to use
in this preparation. 1t is hard to
emphasize the Importance of a thor
ough seed bed preparation enough.
When you think you have the soil in
such a condition that it could not be
improved, do the job over again. Then
if you do not get a chance to do any
more preparatory work you can &c
ahead with the planting. The seed
bed being ready, l select as neal
medium sized tubers as l can get
While I believe the largest tubers are
better, but owing to the cost 1 use
the medium size. These are cut two
eyes to the piece, making the pieces
of seed potatoe as large as possible
as the piece Of seed potatoe sustainS
the plant until it takes root.
In marking or laying off the field
use a No. 5 turning pillow, making the
furrow as deep as possible and about
three feet a part. In this furrow is
scattered about 500 pounds 16 per
cent. acid phosphate. l follow this
with an ordinary bull tongue plow, II
the bottom Of the furrow, which mixes
the phosphate with the soil. The
seed is then dropped one piece t.
every 70 inches. The burrows are
then filled by running on each side
with the same No, 5 turner.
This will leave the field in ridges
eight or ten inches high. It is lef
in this condition until the potatot
plant is within an inch Of the surface
Then take an ordinary drag harrow
and cross the ridges. This is m!
opionon is the best cultivation thu
crop gets. It is not onl,
advantageous to the potatoe plant bu
it gives a set back to the first growtl
of weeds. Within three or four day
after this is done, the one horse cult
vator should be brought forward an.
be kept in use at least once or twic
a week until the potatoes are in bios
son. The last time you go with the Gu
tivator SOW about one bushel or COY
peas per acre; in about ten days tn

Bennett Jackson, Popular Pharma- cist and Druggist, Became Dis
 satisfied and Just Quit

While kept as quiet as possible, the fact that Bennett Jackson, pro- prietor of the Mena Pharmacy, and popular young Mena business man, left Sunday night without giv- ing definite word as to his destlna- ton or future plans. Before going he drove to the home of his broth er-in-law, c. Nj. Hopkins, near Pot ter, told him his intentions of leaV- ing. and turned over to him the keys to the store with instructions to look after it. Just before leaV- ing the city, Bennett also had a short talk with his brother, ]. G' Jackson, telling him good-by.
 At the time Mrs. Jackson, form erly Miss Hazel Hopkins, had gone to New Boston, Tex, where she ac- companied Miss Anna Hudgins, who went to that place to meet and wed Dr. B. P. Randolph of Hot springs
 The reasons given for Mir. Jack sons step are that there was some family misunderstanding and ne was worried over business matters plans he had been making for a business change having fallen through. He took with him only few clothes in a suit case and sum of money borrowed from a friend.

Tarrytown, N Y, Jan. 22.-Miss Helen Miller Gould was married at i2:3O o'clock this afternoon at Lyndhurst, her country estate, to Finley Johnson Shepard, St. Louis railroad man who has risen from the ranks.
 The bride went to an altar, half hidden by roses, asparagus, formo- sa and palms, on the arm of her brother, GeorgeeJ. Gould, who gave her in marriage. An orchestra, which was screened by masses of flowers in the music room, played Lohengrin's wedding march, while the Rev. Daniel D. Russell, pastor of the Irvington Presby- terian church, performed the cere- mony. Helen and Dorothy Gould, nieces of Miss Gould, acted as flower girls and were her only at tendants. Louis J. Shepard, brother of the bridegroom, was best man.
 The couple stood during the ceremony beneath bower of American Beauty roses with fes- toons of gray-white asparagus reaching almost to the floor. The bride carried a modest bouquet of lilies of the valley, her favorite flower.
 Jewels of an Empress. A rope of exquisite pearls, said once to have adorned the Empress Josephine, and a pear-shaped dia- mond pendant, the latter the bride groom's gift, was the only jewelry worn by the bride. The pearls were bequest from Miss Gould's mother.
 The wedding gown was of ducn- ess ivory satin, with a sweeping train three and half yards long, trimmed with duchess and rose point lace with seed pearl embroid- cry. The lace and veil were from the Duchess de Talleyrand, for merly Miss Anna Gould, the brides sister. The veil was held with a spray of orange blossom and swept in flowing lines to the end of the long train. Orange blossoms also caught up the lace at the sides of the skirt. The brides slippers cor responded with the gown and were trimmed with small rosettes of orange blossoms.
 Nieces Only Attendants.
 The flower girls carried basket which matched their pale pink satin gowns. Their stockings were of white silk and their slippers white and mounted with golden butterfly buckles. The bride hand ed to Dorothy her bouquet of lilies of the valley, while the bridegroom placed the ring upon her finger.
 Fewer than 100 persons were bidden to the ceremony. They in- cluded close relatives of the bride and bridegroom and friends of long 1 standing.

DONACHEY SCORES
 ROD|NSON'S POLICY
Says Successors Recommendations Not in Accord With Sound Busi- ness PrincipIes-Letter to
 Editor of Gazette.

The l0llOWlnS leUJer lfOln eX- Governor Donaghey appeared in Wednesdays Arkansas Gazette:
 To the Editor of the Gazette:
 Governor Joe R. Robinson's rec concentrations are not in accord ance with sound business princi- pies. Neither are his statements based upon the facts as they exist. However, his lack of information concerning the states actual con- dition must account for these in- accuracies.
 By his proposed educational tax he increases the rate of taxation $425,000 in two years, based on the present assessment. He increases the appropriation for the univer- sity, the normal and the four agri- cultural schools on an average of more than 100 per cent. But he leaves the rest of the state govern ment to take care of itself. He ad- vocates a bond issue of $750000, with the statement that it is to provide for a deficiency, but he does not name to whom this deti- ciency is due. He says there is a deficiency of $65,000 on account of the insane asylum. No such sum was reported to me by the board, but, to the contrary, 1 asked Col. McRae, a member of the board, just before retiring from office, if there were any outstanding warrants on account of any of the charity in stitutions, and he informed me that there was none.
 As a further evidence that there was no such deficiency, there was more than S50,000 in the state treas ury the day Governor Robinson took charge of the states affairs.
 When Governor Robinson speaks of deficiencies he ought to be spe- cific and name them, name the par ties to whom they should be paid, and name the act which author ized any deficiency that actually existed the day he took charge of the governors office.
 If the governor cannot and does not show specifically what he wants to spend this S750000 bond issue for, the people will have a perfect right to believe that he simply wants to increase expenses without letting them know that he is increasing taxes. It requires no thought to see that he has not yet suggested how the general revenue fund is to be helped out.
 He shifts the cost of some of the educational institutions from this account, but he decreases the tax going to it correspondingly. He stops the tax for the capitol, but starts a new tax of the same amount for something else, and leaves the general revenue fund still in distress.
 Now, if it is best for the people to issue bonds instead of paying taxes for ordinary, everyday ex- penses, let us issue bonds for the full amount of all our expenses and pay no taxes at all. In other words, if when the governor thinks appropriations ought to be in- creased, as it appears is the ease now, and he does not want to advo- cate more than $425,000 increase iT taxation for one purpose, but sees that he will have to have $75O,OOC for other increases, which he thinks are necessary, and advocates a bono issue to cover it, why, just let us issue bonds for all taxes, and we would never have to pay taxes al all. That is, if his idea is a gooc one.
