growers. Never cut potato for
seed. l did not find a successful po-
tato grower in Europe who cut seed,
and the most successful crops from
the irrigated West last year were
from whole seed.
whole seed should be planted fif-
teen inches apart in the row. because
larger number of tubers are set per
plant than with Cut seed.
For growing seed select a piece Of
ground on which potatoes have not
been grown for five years and that
has been in alfalfa or other grass.
Get potatoes for planting on this
plot that are as free from disease as
possible. and true to the type Of the
variety.
Select potatoes 1A to 21a inches in

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. 3.-The

Heligoland, which Great Britain trad

the German recognition of the British

When the American tourist OF for

historical information, approached the

age. he usually suffered his first great

ROTTERDAM IMPORTANT
AS BIG SHIPPING PORT

reliable of reference books had pre-
pared him for the fifth largest port
in the world. According to these
works, New York came first upon the
list of the worlds greatest seaports,
followed by Antwerp Hamburg, Hong
Kong and Rotterdam. Rotterdam led
London. The measure of greatness, of
course, was the grand total of tons OF
freight, entered and cleared by each
port.
With this information about Rotter-
dam in mind, many an American has
strained his eyesight from the forward
deck just off the coast of Holland,
vainly trying to pick up skyline like
that of New York. All that has re
warded his effort has been a low, bar
rem, desolate stretch of sandy shore,
lonely to a point of sadness. This
dreary outlook is the Hook Of Holland,
relieved on nearer inspection by a
rambling shed, combination of bag
gage and customs house. There are
a few scraggy bushes and dwarf trees
in the picture Probably, in nine
chances out of ten the tourist has
reached the Hook after the turn of the
tide, in which case he has to land
there.
In July an unmerciful sun beats
down on this tongue of land, which,
together with the pigmy train waiting
upon the smoky sands to carry the
passengers to Rotterdam, makes the
traveller almost feel that he has been
landed in sleepy Africa by mistake.
There is nothing about the Hook of
Holland or the narrow, shallow ribbon
of water, which leads to Rotterdam to
aid him in realizing the magnitude OF
the port, but an hours ride away.

Some Facts About HeligOland
AS an excursionist from Hamburg,
one comes upon the solitary little is
land of Heligoland, far out in the open
North Sea, some 80 miles from the
nearest point of land, a defantly iso-
lated maroon-brown crag, projecting
itself ruggedly against the horizon.
This tiny land is the vortex around
which the ambitions of two of the
proudest navies of the world are now
swelling.
Approached in the heat of a late
July day, an overhead sun sharply
chiseling its outline, Heligoland makes
an impression never to be forgotten
as the most magnificent bit of lineli-
ness anywhere in the northern hemis-
phere.
Since the day when the great pow
ers first conceived familiar interest
in it's existence, Heligoland has been
dedicated to war. In 1890 Great Brit
ain and Germany entered into a treaty
defining the spheres of their influence
in East, West and Southwest Africa,
and in return for the German recog-
milton of the protectorate of Great
Britain over Zanzibar, Lord Salisbury
in behalf of his government, coded
Heligoland to Germany. Since that
time it has been usurped by the Ger
man vacationist for a summer play
ground. It's interests are three-fold,
military, tourist and industrial. It's
industrial interests are it's least con-
Germ, being of importance only to the
few hundred fisher folk who have
faith enough in their little rock to
pass their lives away upon it.
Heligoland properly consists of two
islands, one of. a high rocky plateau,
of military significance, and the other
great, drifting pile of sand, protect
ed by engineering works against wa
ter erosion, which serves chilly as q
bathing beach for the summer visitors.
Duenen Inset, or sand dune island,
the small, sparkling greenish-yellow
sand pile of the summer guest, was
split eff from the main island by VIC
lent disturbance in 1920 The main is
land is high table of rock, in the
higher points rising some sheer two
hundred feet from the water, about a
mile from tip to tip on its roughly tri-
angular surface, and little more than
a third of mile wide at the widest
points. The stormy winter seas have
fretted its exposed coast in wealth
of caves, and rotted pillars, arches
and needles of rock.
Much of the tableland is forbidden
to the flourish. The inquisitive
stranger is not encouraged to roam
at will, nor to photograph whatever
might strike his fancy. For the rock
is strategic ground; its surface is
studded with turret Notifications, hid
den big gun pits, and upon one part
of the island there is an important
Zeppelin station. Near it's southeast
ern point is sandy cleft in the rock
upon which the lower town Is con-
structed and where Heligoland steam
ers moor. In this sheltering cleft is
