The Work in The spud Fields
(Fritz Knorr)


Potato cultivation should begin Il
few days after planting, using "a two
shovel cultivator and running this as
deep as possible. The shovels are set
SO that a decided ridge will be thrown
out over the row. The more thorough
the succeeding civilizations and the
ditching When the cultivation is
completed, it is we'll to harrow the
field to prevent undue drying out Of
the ridges. After heavy rains it IS
desirable to harrow the potatoes to
break the crust. When the plants
have attained a growth of six inches
or so the regular cultivation should
begin. II is unnecessary to cultivate
as deep on the lighter soils as on the
heavy land. In the cultivation it is
we'll always to try to throw some soil
on the ridge and thereby lessen the
work OF ditching.
| On heavy soil it has always been
the custom to ditch the potatoes as
deep as possible in order TO get the
| irrigation below the tuber bed. On
such soils the water has a tendency
to 20 laterally and upward to a large
extent and thereby moisten the en-
tire ridge. Our lighter soils do not
carry the water so well, and more
shallow ditching is required. The
/ lighter the soil the more shallow
should be the ditching. No prescrib-
ed depth of ditch can be given. The
grower should watch closely and not
allow water to get into the burrows
as high as the tuber bed. The tubers
are located near the top of the soil
with the feeder roots underneath. The
burrows should be deep enough so that
the running water will be about an
I inch or two below the tubers. AS a
rule this depth will be somewhere be-
tween seven and ten inches below the
top of the ridge.
There are a number of theories as
to when potatoes should be irrigated.
I one custom often followed is not TO
/ irrigate until the plants come into
bloom; another is to delay irrigation
until the tubers set. Although il is
not well 10 irrigate too heavily before
the tubers set the vines should not be
allowed 10 suffer for want OF water
/ AS a rule, if the soil carries consider
able moisture to a good depth at plant
ing time, irrigation may be delayed
until the Towering or setting period
On the other hand. should the vines
show signs of suffering. water should
be applied regardless of the stage Of
development the plant is in at that
time.
After potatoes have been irrigated,
cultivation should follow as soon as
the surface soil is dry enough to per-
NIT such work This may be done
with a one-horse cultivator, as it is
only TO break the crust and check
evaporation. Close observation is re-
quired thereafter. The soil should
never be allowed to become very dry
or the tubers will be checked in
growth. Should the growth be check
ed and rains or irrigation water start
new growth, rough, knotty tuber is
the result

British Fleet Off the

MOVE MAY PREVENT
GERMAN ADVANCE
London Claims Effort TO Turn
Allies Left Wing Fails.

London, Oct. 20.-By reaching their
tentacles out to the seaboard the al
lied forces in Northern France have
established close contact with the
British navy, which is now on the ex-
treme left of their line and seems
from the London view-for the mo-
ment to block effectually a further
German effort to turn the allies left
wing and sweep down the coast
toward Dunkirk and Calais.
That the Germans appreciate this
situation is indicated in the reported
presence of four German torpedo boat
destroyers Saturday off the Holland
coast, bound southwark 1t is the
belief here that the destroyers were
conveying submarines with which to
dispute the command of the sea on
the Belgian littoral This venture,
however, may be menaced by mines
which the British have laid along the
Belgian coast from Ostend south
ward
May Force Germans to Hit Line.
If, as the allies assert, their left
cannot be turned, the alternative left
the Germans is to hack their way
through the Belgian, English and
French armies now confronting them,
and the Germans seem in no way
loath to make the attempt. That the
Germans have made a forward move
Is evident from the newspaper dis
patches and official statements which
stated the Belgians had repulsed sew
eral attempts of the Germans to cross
the River User, which is ten miles
nearer the coast than Thourout, Roul-
ers and Menin, the line occupied by
the Germans on Saturday
AS an offset to this, however, the
British official information bureau says
the allies in the northern area have
driven the Germans back thirty miles
The locality of this advance of the
allies is not indicated, but is believed
to be at some point along the west
ern wing where the Germans are try.

READY FOR MEETING
ON EIGHT-HOUR BILL
Prominent Women Will Address Big
Gathering This Afternoon at
the Columbia Theater.

Arrangements for the mass meeting on
the La FolIette-Peters eight hour bill, to
be held at the Columbia Theater this aft
ernoon, have been completed. The speak
ers are to be Mrs. Florence Kelley, Miss
Rose Winslow, Mrs. Antoinette Funk, and
Miss Constance Leupp.
"we expect a more lively meeting than
We had at first anticipated" said Miss
Leupp, president Of the local Consumers
League, "for We have accidentally dis
covered that there has been some con-
ferring among the opponents Of the bill
since our notices of the meeting went out.
and We think they may want to do som.
talking themselves. II there is going TO
be any heckling, We shall be ready for
them
Miss Leupp went on to say that, greatly
to the qualification of the league. the
schedule of hours in three OF the big de-
partment stores has been shortened with
in a few months, and that the managers
OF five of the largest stores in the city
have stated they no longer wish TO op-
pose the bill. This attitude. the members
OF the league think, is in part due to the
amount of popular sentiment which has
been stirred in favor of the measure.
THE kind of opposition We still have
to meet is typified by the statements Of
Mr.. Grundy. president of the Pennsyl-
vania Manufacturers Association, as re-
ported in the Philadelphia papers this
last week. in which he Is quoted as re-
ferring to humane measures for the pro-
lection of women and children as Grim
inal legislation and intimated that the
trainers of the measure were lunatics.

here in Washington are a different
