Yields Of plots of potatoes planted
at different depths. The yields were
$40 bushels per acre when planted at
a depth Of four inches, 1924 bushels
when planted six inches deep, and
1902 bushels when planted eight inches
deep. The shallower planting allowed
the potatoes to come up and mature
more quickly, thus escaping the ef-
fects of dry weather.
rows. The potatoes planted at four
inches came up first those at six
inches second, while the rows planted
at eight inches came up last. There
was a difference of about two days be-
tween each set. The set planted at
four inches grew fastest and produced
somewhat stoCkier vines. The deep
est planting was not quite as good d
stand, although the difference was not
very great.
Exactly the same treatment as to
cultivating, spraying, etc, was given
to all the rows. No weeds were al
lowed to grow, and the beetles were
killed before they did any material
damage The crop was dug the latter
part of September, with the following
results: The potatoes planted four
inches deep yielded at the rate of
140 bushels per acre: the six.inch
depth yielded at the rate Of 124 bush
els per acre, and the eight-inch depth,
102 bushels per acre.
From this 1t would seem that six
inches would be the maximum depth
at which to plant potatoes.

CULTURE OF POTATOES
Opinions Differ on Proper Depth
to Plant Tubers.
Some Growers Advocate Shallow
Planting, While Others Are Just
as Strong in Favor Of Deep
Method-One Good Test.
By E. SANDsTEN.)

The depth at which potatoes should
be planted is a matter of considerable
Importance, and one upon which
much difference of opinion exists.
Some growers advocate shallow plant
ing, and others just as strongly favor
deep planting. That there must be a
depth at which the highest yield may
be obtained seems reasonable. This
depth will undoubtedly vary with diff
ference in weather conditions, conse-
quently any investigation along this
line should be carried on for several
years In order to obtain reliable data.
An experiment was made at Iron
River. Wis, on sandy soil of rather
open texture, to get some Information
on this point
The ground was plowed in the fall
and given dressing of manure at the
rate Of ten loads per acre in the
spring. This was dlsked into the
ground thoroughly before planting
The land was nicely leveled before
planting by means of drag. Twenty
one rows. running north and south,
were planted. each row three feet
apart. The potatoes were planted
with planter in order, as follows:

Calls Monroe Doctrine a
Bluff in Urging Change

BOSTON, Dec. A "Pan-Ameri-
can doctrine" to displace the Monroe
Dostrine as an expression of the
United States policy towards the ma
lions of the American continent, was
advocated before the Economic Club
last night by Professor George II.
Blakeslee, of Clark University. He
said that the present doctrine should
be strengthened by putting it on a
Pan-American basis and associating
in its enforcement the States of the
American continent which have
strong stable governments such as
Argentine, Chile and Brazil. >
w. l. Morgan Shuster, former
treasurer general of Persia, argued
that If one South American nation
needed the protection of the plan all
needed it, and that if such a policy
were put into effect the United
States would be called upon to fur
nish the battleships and funds to
back it up, while the other nations
would furnish only counsel and adj
wise.

right nor practical" he said, ut was
originally bluff and is still only
bluff -

DOUBLE ASSAULT
MYST|F|ES POLICE
Man and Boy Knocked Uncon-
scious at Same Corner in
Jersey City.

JERSEY CITY, Dec. A boy and a
man rendered unconscious at the same
street corner here yesterday, with
but four hours lapsing between each
occurrence, is the mystery the local
police are trying to solve. So far
rot the slightest trace has been dis
covered of the person who committed
the two assaults, and the work of
the authorities is seriously handi-
capped by the fact that neither VIC
tim is able to remember anything but
that they were struck.
The two victims are Arthur Nc
Quicker, eleven years old. of 81 Glen
denny avenue, and Joseph Wilson,
forty-two years old, of 572 Bramhall
avenue. Both are now at their
homes, which are near the scene of
the assault, Clinton and jackson ave-
nues. They are both under the care
of DIR. Henry Spence and their condi-
ton is serious.
McDucker was the first to fall VIC
tim of the mysterious enemy. He
was found unconscious late yesterday
afternoon and carried to his home.
When he regained consciousness he
stated that all he could remember was
that something had hit him on the
head.
-Four hours later Wilson was found
at the same corner, and he was also
taken to his home and revived. He
could give no further description of
the assault than that he was struck.
DIR. Spence says the wounds were in
fiicted apparently with blunt instru-

Madison Education Board
Discusses improvements

MADISON, Dec. 4-Matters rela-
tive to minor improvements in the
local schools took up most of the ses-
sion of the Board of Education In
the Central Avenue School last night.

that the Christmas vacation be from
December % to January 5, which was
adopted.
Chairman Van Etten, of the build
ing committee, reported that the
laboratory In the Central Avenue
School could not be properly heated
Ily the present heating plant with
cut extensive and costly alterations.
He recommended the installation of
q gas steam radiator.
President Partridge, OF the board,
declared himself against that propo-
sltion. He said the radiator would
spoil the air.
Mr.. Godfrey declared that after
careful investigation he had found
that very little oxygene was con-
sumed by radiator, and with proper
ventilation there would be no i'll eff
feet. His assertions were supported
by 10. J.. Cook.
After some discussion 1t was voted
to purchase such a radiator at a cost
not TO exceed $40.
Mr.. Cook reported that owing to
changes in the heating plant of the

were unnecessary.

SCORED BY HAGUE
Director of Public safet,
Threatens Shake-Up After
Finding Men Off Posts.

JERSEY CITY, Dec. 4.-Director of
Public Safety Frank Hague is not at
all pleased with the conduct of some
of the members of the police force
and unless there is a change in con-
ditions a big shakeup will probably
result. In a tour of one of the pre-
cincts in the early evening Com
missioner Hague failed to find q
single policeman on post and yester-
day he sent this letter to Chief of Po-
lice Frank Monahan:
Dear Sir-From personal observa-
lions l am convinced that there is a
lack of efficiency and discipline in the
department, due in a large measure to
the failure Of lieutenants and rounds
sergeants to properly perform their
duty. Patrolmen are grossly negli-
gent, many of them Sinking their
duty and making no pretense of pa
trolling their posts.
This is the condition found In the
Sixth Precinct on the occasion of a
visit to that section Monday night,
and | have no doubt similar con-
ditions obtain in other precincts. In
the half hour or more that 1 passed
through the streets l did not notice
a single policeman, though went
over at least a dozen posts
There is only one explanation. The
patrolmen, instead of being on their
posts looking after the lives and prop
erty of citizens, were planted in some
| cosy bunk, without knowledge OF
what was going on around them.
! I VIII not tolerate such a con-
dition for a moment. l insist that
every member of the department
shall perform faithful service. This
Is what the people expect and are
entitled to. There must be no shirk-
ing of duty 1t is my firm opinion
that there Is collision between GER
tain patrolmen and certain lieuten-
ants and rounds-sergeants, else the
condition l complain of could not
exist.
Il want to serve warning that pa
trolmen and rounds sergeants and
| lieutenants must not be surprised il
not only myself, but the chief and
| inspectors, make occasional tours In
the different precincts, for / am de-
termined to resort to drastic meas
ures to make the department what
| it should be-a body of faithful public
servants.
IF 1 find that circumstances war
rant such action. l shall order charges
prepared against the patrolmen who
are not on their posts and the rounds
sergeants and lieutenants as well
Efficiency is necessary to inspire the
confidence of the people in the police
department.
You will please make this letter
the subject of q general order"

based on the commissioners letter.
