CIT OFT THE BUNK.
Waterloo Courier


Colonel Roosevelt, in his attack on
the democratic administration. SAYS
there IS widespread apprehension
among our people. that the pinch of
poverty is felt in many household.
that the cost of living has not been re-
duced that not the slightest progress
has been made in solving the trust
question that economic conditions are
such that business is in jeopardy and
that all classes of trade and industry
are suffering because of these condi-
tons. The truth simply is says the
colonel. that the only wise and sane
propositions, the only propositions
which represent a constructive govern
mental progressivisnl and the resolute
purpose 70 secure good results. instead
of fine phrases, were the principles in
the progressive platform il connection

The Strawpile
Selecting Potato Seed.

Hints for potato raisers, especially IN
irrigated and dry districts. are laid
down by Prof r. s. Parsons Of the
Wyoming experiment. station in his
bulletin on potatoes. Every phase OF
the potato is discussed from the plant
ing to the eating Some Of his recon-
mendations follow:
Never use poor seed. Plant only
tubers that are sound, firm and I'M
sprouted. If the seed Is at all scabby,
treat it with formalin before planting
by soaking it two hours in solution
of one-haif pint formaiin III fifteen gal
Ions of water.
Plant medium sized pieces, about
one-quarter tubers IL to IA inches
apart in the rows and rows far enough
apart to cultivate with horse cultiva-
tor. or 81 feet. Fifteen bushels Is
the minimum amount OF seed that
should be used per acre under irriga-
ton. Plant less on dry farm.
Prepare the land thoroughly. Plow
land in the fall Disk and harrow well
in the spring Keep weeds out OF
potato rows by narrowing before po-
tatoes are up. After plants are up use
weeder often. Irrigate when ground
needs it and cultivate again as soon as
ground is fit after irrigating. Keep
surface soil loose by shallow cultiva-
ton to conserve the moisture.
The time of planting depends on the
climate Of each locality. Potatoes that
get a good start early in the season are
better able to withstand adverse con-
ditions later In the season.
Small potatoes may be used for seed
one year, but no longer. Leading po-
tato growers select for seed medium to
large :tihe-s of good shape This Is a
good example to follow.
In harvesting the crop 1t pays to
handle the potatoes carefully, as any
Injury affects their keeping qualities.
rich sandy loan. well drained and
we'll supplied with vegetable matter. is
the best soil for potatoes. Sitter land
may be improved as a potato soil by
green manuring and drainage. and
lighter soils can be made sufficiently
rich by the addition Of green manure
and fertilizers.
Potatoes should not as rule be
grown continuously on the same land.
but should he aiternated with other
crops.
FITTING in the field until the potatoes
have ltst most OF their heat is recon-
mended.
Darkness and low temperatures are
primary requisites in the successful
storing of potatoes.
There are about 10000 hills on an
acre Of potatoes planted in rows 3ls
feet apart and IA inches apart in the
row
One eight ounce potato in each Hill
win produce yield Of eighty eight
bushels per acre.
Many times one hill will produce six
eight ounce potatoes which is at the
rate of 500 bushels per acre.
The low yields secured on the aver
age must be due Ia the failure OF a
large number of hills to produce
Some of the things that cause the
failure of hills are poor soil. improper
preparation, poor seed. irregular plant

unfavorable weather Many of these
conditions are uncomfortable. All OF

GET OUT OF THE SEWER.
Newton News.]


When people stop and think that the
cows that have supplied much OF the
milk for Newton have been pastured IN
the fields where Newton's sewerage is
emptied. it is simply astounding to
think that the city has escaped dis
ease thus far.
Newton can not permit such
medieval method of sewage disposal
to continue longer. 1t is positively re-
voting to think that one of the most
essential parts of Newton5 food supply
is coming from the fields where the
cows drink the very sewerage of our
city.

worse because we know better. 1t IS

sort of malicious disease. We believe
that this diphtheria contagion is but
forerunner of something more terrible
to follow If Newton does not modern
ize itself. The situation IS grave. It's
little wonder that people are growing
hysterical.

Beware The Union Eel Worm.

onions were startled when the depart

the Tylenchus devastatrlx had invaded
the United States and the future Of the
onion industry was in jeopardy. The
invader with the imposing name Ia
known also as the onion eel worm
Hitherto it has confined Its operations
to Europe, Africa and Australia, where
it has wreaked havoc, but now 1t has
made its appearance in this country.
Government experts, In warning
growers of onions, did not minimize
the gravity Of the appearance here of
the eel worm. 1t seems impervious to
chemical remedies that have been tried
for its eradication, and the eggs Of the
insect. the experts declare, will survive
two years of complete dryncss.
THE worms are seldom over one
twentieth of an inch long" said the de-
partment experts, "and are very slen-
der and transparent, so that their
presence is not generally detected by
the naked eye, and the grower therefore
often remains In ignorance OF his Toss
es"
The pest attacks all floral and vege-
table bulbs, and is regarded as highly
dangerous. In view Of this the depart
ment urges that all infected plants be
