DIR. WIZ. w. Worth had the misfortune
TO break several of the small bones in hi
left wrist on Thursday afternoon OF last
w@k. The accident which occurred at hiss
residence in Johnston, was caused by a
stable door, which is operated on track,
running off and striking the doctor with
the above result. DR. Worth, aided by
his wife, succeeded in setting the broken
bones and he is now getting along hnely.
1t is understood that he will take this oc-
casion to discontinue his practise. This
is step that he has been contemplating
for some time and he will now give up his
office on Manton avenue. DR.. Worth has
been located in Manton for over twenty
five years and as he is now in his eighty
seventh wear, feels that he can devote the
rest of his life TO less labor than is involy-
ed in the practise of medicine. DR.. Worth
has many friends in this section, who
regret that he has come to this decision.

| The best way for you to do is to
spread them out on the floor OF the
granary, tool shed or barn It would
| be preferable to pat the potao es on
| an old bed spring, or On something
| else thai would allow circulation of
air underneath them. They should
not unde' any circumstances be piled
more than a foot deep, and 1t will
be be ter il you do not have them
more than six inches. The light on
the potatoes should come from the
east or north, for the south or west
light Is too strong for good results.
You should keep the temperature be-
tween co and 20 degrees Fahrenheit
IL possible, and IL there is any danger
of frost, the potatoes should be COW
cred for the night with gunny sacks,
straw, or something else that will
protect them. It will take from two
to three weeks to green them, the
time varying according to the light,
warmth, etc. The progress Of the
greening can be ascertained by the
growth of the sprouts, which should
be allowed to grow not more than a
half inch in length, and which should
be full of buds. II the sprouts do
not grow well, it indicates that there
is not enough light. II the potatoes
are properly greened, the sprouts will
be tough enough to Withstand ordin-
AIRY usage, although If they were to
sprout in warm, dark cellar, the
sprouts would be very brittle, and
would break off very easily.
The earlieness CT the potato did not
count for anything last year, but 1t
will this year. We do not mean that
an early variety will be judged more
highly than late one, but that be-
tween two late potatoes, the highest
rank will be given to the one that is
most fully matured.
To summarize-you will better the
condition and yield Of your potatoes
If you green them, and moreover you
will have your potatoes, both the ear
ly and late varieties, maturing earlier.
You cannot afford not % green your
seed.
