REMAINS TAKEN HOME

As briefly stated in our last issue,
Harold Churchill lost his life while
giving a balloon ascension on the
opening day Of the Carnival.
After being viewed by Coroner
Bowers the remains were placed in
charge Of Undertaken Witzler, and
were taken to his undertaking
rooms where they were prepared
for burial. Mr.. Witzler informs
the Journal that the body was
crushed almost to jelly and that
there was probably not q bone that
was not broken. Every possible
attention was given to the care of
the unfortunate mans body and
when his father and brother arriv-
ed few days later to claim and
take him to his late home they ex-
pressed themselves as very thank
full for the attention given their
unfortunate son and brother.
Churchill was sent here to fulfill
a contract made by Walter Raub
of Jackson, Mich, for four ascen-
sions, and his death caused Mr..
Raub to cancel the contract al
though Manager Lownsbury was
besieged by Toledo balloonists who
offered their services, but Mr.. Raub
declined.

ANOTHER CAVE STORY.
Sayville, n. Y, Aug. 3, 1871

Sayville, n. Y, Aug. 3, 1911
Dear Blue;-To say that | am
disappointed at not being able to
be present with you at the "Home
Coming" which will soon be held is
very mildly expressing it. To one
who has left the home of his boy
hood days, the appeal you sent out
to come back and shake the hand
of old acquaintance, comes very
near to the center of the heart and
brings to one a longing to once
again walk the streets of the dear
old Burg, and the haunts of days
of long ago, and to shout glad
greeting to the boys and girls we
used to know so well. Your recent
articles call most vividly to my
mind, people, who in my boy-hood
days were familiar persons in the
town.
The mention Of a Gave" in
Charley Powers letter, recalls one
Governor (Ed) Beach and | built
on the hill side of S. d. Westcott' S
pasture, and when about completed
and stored with relics of the hunt,
we were very much frightened, one
morning, to find that Mr.. West
colts valuable Jersey COW, in walk
ing over the cave had taken a
"header" down into the bottom of
it.
My first business venture, by the
way, was with this same noted
Governor. We were partners in
fruit stand in front of Captain
Locks home on Front ST., and sold
what we could Of the fruit we had
succeeded in gathering in the night
before from the gardens of his faith
er and mine. Do you remember it
Ed? | will be with you every day
in spirit during your week of fes-
tivity and wish to send greetings,
and a hearty hand shake to all of
my acquaintance Of long ago.
Thanking you sincerely for re-
membering me | am.

TO HELP THE FARM WOMEN

The Department of Agriculture is
trying to do something to improve
the condition of the woman on the
farm. Secretary Houston's annuaI
report tells of letters of inquiry ad-
dressed to the women on 55.O0Ose-
lected farms covreing every county.
Analysis of the small part OF the
letters as yet digest0d shows that
farm women desire assistance in all
phases of home management, espec-
tally as to ways of securing running
water, introducing household power
machinery and labor saving arrange
ments and providing better hygien-
ic and sanitary conditions Many
seek advice as to the better mar
keting of the articles they produce.
Others ask the department to prove
to the man that their work is worth
something in dollars and cents.
The overwork of women and chill
dren and difficulty of getting do
nestle help are mentioned by many
writer's. The department believes
that intelligent help to women in
matters of home management will
contribute directly to the success of
the farm. 1t purposes, therefore
to ask Congress for means and au-
thority to make more complete
the farm, to experiment with labor
saving devices and methods and to
study completely the question Of
practical sanitation and hygenic pro-
lection for the farm family.

Potato Growing Improves
Soil Productivity.

American potato growers will be
interested in the fact that German
farmers have found that many in
direct benefits result from potato
culture. through modern methods
of crop rotation, green manurins
and fertilizing. In a recently is
sued bulletin. entitled Lessons for
American Potato Growers from
German Experiences, the depart
ment's specialist describes, among
other things, how eastern Germany
benefits from cultivation of the
potato.
The potato has played the great
est role in the agricultural develop
ment of light and fertile soils of
this region, as the sugar beet has
done in heavier soils. According
to German specialists, these hoed
root crops are beneficial to any soil
through the diep and thorough cul-
ture that is given them, with its
resultant Improvement in the physi-
cal condition and aeration.
The profits from the crop just
ify the liberal use of commercial
fertilizers, from which there are
important residual effects Oh other
crops in the rotation. The clean
culture practiced also brings all

weeds into thorough subsection. The
yields per acre of all farm crops
have been greatly increased since
the extension of potato growing.
Potato tops are now dried and
used for stock food on many
estates. The by-product, mash
resulting from the distillation of
potatoes into alcohol, is also an
important economical factor.
While we have, in fact. better
soils than Europe in almost un-
limited area adapted for potatoes,
our hot summers injure the potato
plant, where they aid in the devel-
opment of our great grain crop,
corn. In the corn belt there can
never be profit in growing potatoes
in excess of those needed locally
for table use. Corn can be produc-
ed more economically. is better for
stock feeding, and is cheaper
source of starch and alcohol. Far
ther north, however. and in the ell
evated western districts where corn
cannot be raised, potato growing has
a greater future.
However, vast deposits of petro-
