PLANTING SPUDS
Kaw Valley Farmers Take Ad-
vantage Of Ideal Weather.
Territory From Kansas City to
Manhattan.

Eudora. March 1S.-It is potato
planting time in the Kaw valley. Tho
man who doesn't want to work IL
duly warned to keep away from the
farmers along the valley between Kan
sas City and Manhattan. Just now
women and children are working full
time Every day there are scores who
work all afternoon cutting potatoes.
The real work of potato planting is
cutting the potatoes. They can be
planted by machinery very satisfac-
torily. but the cutting machines have
produced results that were only ep-
proximate That is because they arc
not all of the same size or shape and
the machine cutters do not select the
places where there are eyes, as the
hand cutters do. A machine and team
can plant six, seven or eight acres q
day, but 1t takes ten bushels of po-
tatoes to plant an acre and the cut
| ting Of sixty or seventy bushels OF po-
tatoes is a much bigger task. A man
and team can plant more potatoes
than a whole family can cut, and that
is the reason for the demand for
more help along the valley.
| The Weather Won't Injure Now.
| More potatoes than usual will be
planted this year, and all the experts
tell you that the weather of the last
i
er. Even IL a freeze should come, 1t
will not be harmful, for the pota-
toes are covered from three to four
inches with loose dirt by the planting
machines and even one night of zero
Temperature would not destroy, though
two or three in succession would do
SO.
1t is in cold damp ground that the
early potato sprouts best and makes
its start, and now that the frost is
gone the conditions for planting are
ideal. The old potato growers who
plant carload or two of seed and
grow the crop on a large scale all
assert that early planting is the best.
| The Weather Ideal Now.
It is the dark of the moon now,
too, and no matter If the planter feels
that he is wholly without superstf-
ton, he still prefers this season, as all
the experienced growers say they
have better success with potatoes
planted in the last quarter of the
moon.
The Kaw valley potato planter
never uses the home grown potato.
Most Of the potatoes used for seed
come from the Red River country.
The crop that will be harvested in
bought in the fall The larger grow
ers go north in the summer, about
the time the city man seeks the
northern lakes for summer vacation
and buys potatoes by the carload
They are shipped to Kansas and
Istored in large cellars until spring
Then the small grower buys seed OF
his more prosperous neighbOr as long
as there is seed to spare, and buys
the rest in Topeka. There are
practically no home grown potatoes
used for seed.

ACID IN MEAT
CLOGS KIDNEYS
Take glass Of Salts IL you have
backache or Bladder
trouble.

Meat forms uric acid which excites
and overworks the kidneys in their
efforts to filter it from the system.
Regular eaters of meat must flush the
kidneys occasionally. You must re-
lieve them like you relieve your bow
els; removing all the acids, waste and
poison, else you feel duh misery in
the kidney region, sharp pains in the
back or sick headache, dizziness. your
stomach sours. tongue is coated and
when the weather is bad you have
rheumatic twinges. The urine is
cloudy, full of sediment; the channels
often get irritated, obliging you to get
up two or three times during the
night.
To neutralize these irritating acids
and flush off the body's urinous waste
get about four ounces of Jad Salts
from any pharmacy: take q table,
spoonful in a glass of water before
breakfast for a few days and your
kidneys will then act fine and bladder
disorders disappear. This famous salts
is made from the acid of grapes and
lemon juice, combined with lithia, and
has been used for generations to clean

KANSAS CoRNO IN PIES
Corn OIL Product Discovered by H. q.
Tried I'm Bakeries.

Lawrence, Kan, March 1S--
"Corno'' is the name the students In
the chemistry department of the Uni
versity of Kansas have applied to the
new food compounds OF corn oil that
Dean L. E. Sayre and his assistants
have prepared to take the place OF
lard and the cottonseed oil shortening
mixtures. -'sCorno" is made from the
oil Of the maize grain, which Is an i'm
portant by product in the milling OF
corn for starch and other products.
Until the discovery OF its food value
by experts at the University II prac-
tically was wasted.
Professor Sayre has q bakery in st.
Louis experimenting with corn oil as
a shortener, and expects to make ar
rangements with Lawrence bakers to
test out "cOrno." The corn Is COM
pounded with suet in order to make a
digestible shortening, that is at the
same time palatable.
Lard is hard for many persons to
digest" said Professor Sayre. land a
palatable substitute which is at the
same time cheap. has long been
sought. Cottonseed and palm Oil pro-
ducts are used more and more every
year, and I have no doubt but that
our experiments here will lead to the
manufacture OF a similar product
made from the oil Of corn.
IF we find that corn oil and suet
will fuse to form a digestible cooking
grease, the value of the corn as a mill
product will be increased. 1t will not
be milled for the oil alone, however
although improved processes of man.
ufacture may result in an increased
yield Of oil
EAT present we are using a corn oil
cooking compound in my home. We
find the shortening qualities equal to
the best lard, the taste far better and
the indigestibility less.
eff a variety of corn could be
evolved richer in oil than the ordi-
nary kinds, the corn oil industry
would of course receive great i'm
petus. At present, however, it is only
a by-product, though a profitable
| one.''

KAFTR FROM AFRICA.

Power and Less Prolific.

Larned. Kan, March 18.-To re-
vitalize the kafir fields Of Pawnee

Kansas kafir seed has been losing in
vitality gradually since its first inn
portation 20 years ago. The crop, old
timers say, now natures nearly a
month later than in the early '90's,
is far less hardy, prolific or certain.
The drouth in Pawnee last year made
the seed for this year of especially low
terminating power and the grange
men decided to act.
A. L. Stockwell, grange master. act
ing under the lodges instructions, has
ordered 1 " bushels of kafir seed d.
rect from Africa for distribution
among grange members. Stockwell
personally ordered one bushel for use
by school children entering the state
crop contests. The 2H bushels will
seed 100 acres this year and the en-
tire county in 1915.
