ing into growth. Wilted or badly ger
minated seed Is not desirable.
Plant these potatoes from to
inches in depth depending on the ma
ture CT the soil. Plant shallow on
heavy clay soils and deep on light
sandy or muck soils. Plants in rows
from 80 to Sc inches and from 10 to
II inahes apart depending on variety
growH and the fertility of the soil.
Early varieties can be planted closer
than late ones. Cover seed with at
least 3 inches of soil. If planted as
outlined Is to 20 bushels of seed pota-
toes per acre will be required.
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
cultivation at frequent intervals, re-
membering to go shallower each time,

sprayed to protect them against leaf
eating pests or fungus pests. Protec-
ton against these insects is usually
secured by some form of arsenical
poison such as the arsenate OF lead,
Or paris green. The potato plant may
be protected against fungus diseases
by keeping it's foliage covered with
Bordeaux mixture.

COLORADO'S ULTlMATUM.
For a While II Made Napoleon ~. Sit
Up and Take Notice.

The man wlo sent the first private
message over the Atlantic cable was
cOmmemorated in recent Cornhill
Magazine. According to that maya
inc, it was William Gilpin, who was
appointed governor of Colorado by
President Lincoln In 1861.
The line was ready for business on
Ill. was in the plentude of his power.
His every movement was eagerly
watched from both hemispheres. He
was believed to have his eye on Be-
hernia.
Mr.. Gilpin was Il man of humor, and
it occurred to him that it would be II
good joke to hand to the agents of the
Atlantic cable this message for the
French emperor:
Denver, Colo, Aug. 4. 1866 To
Louis Napoleon Bonaparte. Emperor,
Tuileries. Paris. France: Please leave
Bohemia alone. No interference will
be tolerated by this territory.
"WILLIAM GlLPIN."
Mr.. Gilpin wrote his dispatch merely
in the eXuberance of humor. The ca.
BILE people, eager for custom and know
ing that the former governor Of Colo
RADIO could pay the bill. forwarded it.
1t was duly delivered at the Tulcrics
and for awhile startled and mystilicd
the emperor.
The freak cost Mr.. Gpin ESQ, and all
he got for his money was the reputa-
ton of inaugulrting the Atlantic cable
and the satisfaction of playing IL joke

IRISH Potatoes Are Most
Profitable Suburban Crop

Washington, d. c., April l3.-Irish
potatoes are one of the easiest and
most profitable suburban crops, says
q bulletin from the Department Of Ag-
riculture.. They may be grown on al
most any type Of soil which possesses
sufficient moisture and plant food,
though they thrive best on sandy loan
or gravel loan soils, and 1t 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 8 to 10 inches If the character
OF the land will permit. Deep blowing
insures "a greater water-holding capaci-
ty. Spare no pains in fitting the land
for planting. Thorough preparation is
essential to large yields, advises the
department of Agriculture.
Should poor sod land be selected

work when one can be a thug. a tin

in general? That sort Of doctrine is

a question that is causing much spec.
ulation in Mississippi at the present
time.
So far as known there are no an.
nounced and active candidates for the

chancellor of the institution, where he
has served for more than twenty

chosen at the May meeting of the
board of trustees of universities and
colleges, or the matter will be de-
ferred for action until after the COM
mencement in June, is not known
Chancellor Kincannons term of office
will expire in June, and it may be
that the educational board will not
select his successor prior to COM
mencement.

Writing to The World in behalf OF

MilhoTland Boissevain asserts that

With due respect to Mrs. Boissevain,
this is sheer nonsense. These young
men were penalized by themselves.

They came of decent, Woodworking
parents. They were born under exact
ly the same conditions that tens of
thousands of Industrious, law-abiding
men in New York were born. They
had the same educational. opportunit-
les. They had the same chance to
make something of themselves. They
did not become criminals by circum-
stances. They are not warped and
misshapen offsprings of our present So
cial conditions as Mrs. Boissevain
calls them. They elected a criminal
career as the easiest way of making
a living. Society did not lead them to
the shadow of the death-chair. They
blazed their own trail.
Mrs. Boissevain does not believe in
capital punishment. That is a debat.
able question. But the death sentence
over the gunner" is no more an ar
gument against capital punishment
than is tn death sentence over Schmidt.
