BIGGEST POTATO YIELDS
Are Raised on Sandy Loan or Gravel
Loan Soils.

Irish potatoes are one of the easiest
and most profitable suburban crops.
They may be grown on almost any type
of soil which possesses sufficient mois-
ture and plant food though they thrive
best on sandy loan or gravel loan soils,
and it is on these types that maximum
crops Of high quality potatoes can be
produced.
If the land which is to be planted to
potatoes is not likely to wash in the
winter, pillow in the fall to depth from
Q to 10 inches If the character of the
land viii permit. Deep blowing insures
greater water holding capacity. Spare
no pains in fitting the land for plant
ing. Thorough preparation is essential
to large yields, advises the department
of agriculture.
Should a poor sod land be selected for
potato bed, apply from 1000 to 1900
pounds of fertilizer Analysing from
two to three per cent of ammonia, six
to seven per cent of phosphorie acid
and seven to eight per cent of potash
If stubble or cortland is used increase
the ammonia content to three and halt
or four per cent. Half the ammonia
should be derived from dried blood, tank
age, or other organic forms and the 9TH
er half from nitrate of soda or ammo
mum sulphate.
Select variety of seed potatoes which
is known to do well in the locality.
Some good varieties of the potato are
Irish cobbler. early Ohio, rose four, for
early potatoes, and Green Mountain and
peerless for late growth The impor-
lance of good seed cannot be too strong
ly emphasized. In the first place, the
seed should be free from varietal mix
ture and disease, and true to name and
type The tubers should be reasonably
smooth and firm, with the first sprouts
Just starting into growth. Wilted or
badly terminated seed is not desirable.
Plant these potatoes from three to six
inches in depth, depending on the ma
ture of the soil. Plant shallow on heavy
clay soils and deep on light sandy or
muck soils. Plant in rows from 30 to SO
inches and from 10 to Ia inches apart,
on variety grown and the fer
tility of the soil. Early varieties can
be planted closer than late ones. Cover
seed with at least three inches of soil.
If planted as outlined Is to 20 bushels
of seed potatoes per acre will be re-
CURED.
Give first tillage before plants push
through the ground. The aim should be
to keep the surface of the soil loose and
free from weeds. Continue civilizations
at frequent intervals remembering to 60
shallower each time and gradually mar
rowing the space titled. Potato plants
are generally sprayed to protect them
against leaf-eating insect pests or fun
gus pests. Protection against these in
sects is usually secured by some form of
lrsenical poison such as the arsenate of
lead or paris green. The potato plant
may be protected against fungus dis
eases by keeping its foliage covered with
Bordeaux mixture.

Greater Vermont Association Would In
crease Its Scope

Burlington, May 1.-The trustees of
the Greater Vermont association held
meetings at the Hotel Vermont Wednes-
day morning and afternoon All the d.
rectors were present with the exception
of Redfeld Proctor. The session was
occupied with the discussion of the
future policies of the association and in
making definite plans for carrying them
out One OF the objects of the assoeia-
tion for the coming year is to 60 after
greater membership, and work along
this line will be begun at once. The
present membership of 1000 is not an
impossihility by any means, and it is
expected that such may become an es-
tablished fact The question of finance
was also discussed.
Those present at the meeting yester-
day were: Secretary OF State Guy W.

The inspection of the Vermont Nation.
al Guard, which Charles Steele, the ser.
geant Inspector, has just completed, was
satisfactory and the various companies
were found to be in good shape, accord
ing to the statement credited to him.
Yet it is difficult to reconcile that state
ment with another by the inspector and
coupled with the first. to the effect that
Companies NJ of Burlington and A of
Rutland were far ahead of the other
companies in the regiment. If there was
such a vast difference among the various
companies, the most proficient being rat
ed as good, what must be the efficiency
of the poorest companies in the regi-
ment? And isn't a regiment of soldiery
efficient in collective service only to the
degree of its least efficient companies !.
1t looks to us as if the other companies
excepting Companies M and al stand
in need of great bolstering up, or else
the statement of the marked superiority
of the two companies mentioned needs
to be qualified in the name Of consist
ency of assertions. Possibly the inspect
ing officer was misquoted and possibly,
too, he did not intend to be quoted in
the newspapers in just the invidious
manner he was quoted.

A Standard for Nurses.

Efforts to raise the standard OF re-
quirements for nursing are IN the right
direction. Anyone can now be trained
nurse. BY the mere assumption OF a
white cap and uniform woman be-
comes qualified on her own say-so to
take care of the sick.
Massachusetts, somewhat backward in
this phase of public health legislation,
made marked advance four years ago
when the nurse registration law was
enacted. Ii conferred the title of k. N.
registered nurse-on anyone who
passed the necessary examination OF the
board of registration of nurses. The test
is purely voluntary. And although the
sentiment of the better physicians and
OF the state nurses association favors
registered nurses, the general public,
whom the requirement aims to protect,
is generally unaware of it.
Nearly 5000 nurses are now registered
in the state. 1t has been found that
many girls who are really equipped have
succeeded by means Of compendiums and
careful tutoring in gaining the coveted
letters. The bill now before the public
health committee aims TO make two
years course in a hospital training
school of recognized merit a prerequisite
This is the Rcd Cross standard. 1t will
debar those who are unprepared on the
practical side of nursing. 1t will debar
from registration the graduate of a
hospital of a half dozen beds, or an in
stitution which treats one aiment only,
or of a correspondence school, The step
is distinctly in the public interest. 1t is
necessary for the protection of society
that some fundamental standard OF
merit be established, of which the title
of registered nurse" win serve as an
adequate guarantee. At present it does
not.
One argument against the bill is that
il might disqualify worthy and COM
petent person from the pursuit of
livelihood in the field of nursing because
of her inability, for one reason or other,
to conform to the increased require
ments. But this is scarcely a valid OBJ
lection. The bill does not prevent any
one from nursing. II merely sets a
standard The physician is, after all,
the agent for procuring the proper at
tendance in ill-health. He would know
of the unusual circumstances in which
person might be entirely competent and
vet unable to fulfil the demands of the
board of registration and act according
lv. But we have a right to feel sure
that those who attend the members of
our families in sickness are properly
if we want such guarantee.
We have that knowledge now about orr
physicians. We need il nearly as much
about our nurses.-Boston Herald.

CURRENT COMMENT
Incandescent Fire-Escapes.

In a deep recess of the rear wall OF
the Melvin apartments every story
shows a black balcony of open iron
work. From each balcony descends a
flight of iron steps. The grated floors
the ratings, the fastenings OF this FIVE
story fire escape are SO strong, and the
windows served are so many, that every
dweller in the tall death-trap must have
taken comfort in one seemingly sure
means OF egress. But when the test
came, all this imposing construction
showed fatal blunder; each downward
flight had been built across a window OF
the rear stair-well just when the hur-
rying occupants tried to descend, they
found the middle of each fight glowing
like metal in the jet of huge forge !;
from each window of the staircase a
roaring flame was driving against the
irons. The balconies are still black; but
the flights of steps now tell their story
in red and yellow.
From the athletic club disaster in st.
Louis came the same report of the out
side fire escapes made useless by the
outburst of flames from the wall open
ings; but to find more instances of these
ill-placed means of egress we need not
leave our own city limits. A walk
through any apartment house district
will show balconies and steps brought
close across the shafts that in case Of
fire, nine times in ten, fill with smoke
and flames under strong sidewise pres
sure.
Our owners and architects seem to
have overlooked the so-called Philadel-
phia fire escape; though cheap, simple
and sure, it is hardly to be seen in
greater Boston. In one form it consists
of a, brick wall or tower carried up with
in the buiIding-where the Sage Foun-
dation says a modern fire escape be-
longs--in any convenient angle or re-
cess; it is closed to entrance from any
inner room or hallway; it is entered only
from balconies on the outside wall A
modified form, equally effective, is the
comfort of the Shurtleff and Williams
schools in Chelsea Such perfectly
protected descent makes the difference
between safety and extreme danger.
In every hazardous apartment house
the tenants nigh well organize in
they might prudently
come together for combined influence
with landlord and with janitor. They
should appoint committee to watch fire
risks in basement and above stairs; to
forestall the heaping up of papers and
to see that the bottoms of
chutes and shafts are kept properly
closed in; to make sure that each new
ianitor knows what he must do in case
of fire, including pulling down the hook
in the signal box But above all, such
committee should study each exit and
escape And if it finds any such danger
as on the rear wall of the Melvin, its adj
vice to fellow tenants should be short
and sharp: Get egress or give notice.
