Scrape Along Under
Regulations

Final action on the adoption of the
new city health and food regulations
may not be taken tomorrow after

asking that the provisions relative to
individual cups hair clippers and
brushes may be modified, and the
committee conferred upon the subject
with City Commissioner Bowman, the
father of the measure. Commissioner
Lynch said that he expects to confer
with Mr.. Bowman tomorrow morning
and it is likely that whatever amend
ments are decided upon will be pre-
pared for introduction at the after
noon session.
The regulations We're offered last
Tuesday and were laid over for a
week. The provisions cover every
phase of the food and health safe
guards for the city. AS a rule the new
order of things has been accepted with
general approval except few restric-
tions as to the conduct of the barber
shops
Tomorrow will be busy day for
Council as far as the passing upon
bids for various departmental con-
tracts is concerned. There will be a
lot of pipe and other supply bids for
the Water Department and the pre-
posals for the new street sprinkler and

and Public improvements.
City Commissioner Harry f. Bow

tireiy too high. He will open the new

Il is a fairly well known fact that
Irish potatoes do not yield satisfac.
torily in the lower and warmer agri'
cultural districts Of this State. Their.
has recently been some interest ia
Irish Potatoes in New Mexico. and
the Experiment Station has proba'
bly, received more inquiries about
this crop than concerning any other
More questions are asked at our
farmers meetings as to why potatoes
yield so poorly than regarding any
other vegetable.
The Experiment Station has had
this matter under investigation foi
u number Of years. Many different
methods Of culture, different sys-
TENS OF irrigation and different
amounts of water, and large num-
Der Of the varieties that are advertis-
ed by the seedsmen, have been tried
all the ordinary fertilizers have been
added to the soil, and soils from
potato growing districts have been
shipped in aud tried at the Station
but the results in every case have
been unsatisfactory, as far us
yield is concerned. As a rule,
enough iubers are set to the vine,
but these do not grow to any con-
siderable size. So far, il has not been
possible to ascertain the reasons why
potatoes yield so poorly in our warm
err and lower agricultural districts.
Many letters come in from all over
the State, stating that even at an
altitude of $500 feet, the yields are
not satisfactory. On the other hand,
We find potatoes doing well at alti.
tubes all the way from 1000 to 5000
feet. Whether the trouble is due To
altitude or not, cannot be definitely
said at this time, but it can hardly
be due to this. The theory advanced
at the present time is along the line
Of climate. 1t is believed that the
climate is responsible for the tubers'
not growing any larger. The vine
usually starts out very vigorously
and grows very well until the bloom
ing period. The tuber forming period
usually begins about the time that
the wire is beginning TO bloom. and
this is considered the most critical
time for the potato vine. At this
time the leaves are celebrating the
plant food, which is used in increas.

are that they do not properly per.

reason for this seems to be that the
relative humidity is too low and that
the temperature is a little too high
