Editor Goes to School
Mr.. Joe A Jackson, managing
editor of the Winchester Sun, has
resigned from his position and plans
to study at the Pulitzer School OF
journalism at Columbia University.
The day of the old fashioned
editor who chases news, writes
editorials, sets type and then goes
out to hunt up back subscriptions
is all but gone.
Spokesman to Run Again
The Hon. J. C. Cantrill, whose
political ideas were so well express
ed by the letter recently published
in the Citizen. is circulating petit
tiOns for his denomination for the
Democratic candidacy for Congress-
man. This year, however, the old
style spokesman is having very keen
opposition, and judge ]. M. Benton,
the fearless boodler prosecutor, Ell
wood Hamilton, administration
floor leader in the last legislature,
j. w. Cammack, John w. Douglas,
Emett M. Dickson, Matt Savage Wall
ton, and Judge Samuel M. Wilson are

call for militia is issued.
Mayo on Road to Recovery
The serious illness of John C. C.
Mayo, the timber magnate Of Paints
vile, seems TO have turned for the
better. His temperature and heart
beat are again normal and il is ex-
pected that he will soon be able TO
be removed from the Jewish Hospi-
tai at CincinnatiIto his home. The
doctors attribute his improved con-
ditiOn TO the sacrifice OF his brother,
Washington Mayo, who gave more
than a quart OF his own blood TO be
poured into the veins Of the patient.

one or two good potatoes and a large
number of small ones. The use of small
potatoes that are sorted out as cuIls has
the same objection and generally pro
duces plants that produce large num-
Der of small potatoes.
Some of the most successful large
growers in the Rocky Mountain states
select their seed very carefully and
plant special seed patches. In these
patches the rows are about 36 inches
apart and the hills about SIX to eight
inches apart in the row. Planted this
close the plants do not produce large
potatoes, but great many. The small
to medium sized ones are used as seed
and are planted whole.
Running Out.
When variety becomes less vigor-
Gus, less productive, or the potatoes be-
come of less desirable form, we say that
the variety has run out.
This change of character is nearly al
ways due to some less favorable soil, or
climatic conditions, or to poor selection
Iof seed.
In some localities it is cheaper to i'm
port seed from other districts than to
give the extra care and attention neces-
sary in cultivation and seed selection to
maintain the standard of the variety.
These localities are exceptional and the
growers in most regions should endeavor
to improve their crops rather than let
them "run out and constantly ship in
fresh seed.
Varieties.
In the State of Washington the local
conditions vary so greatly that best
varieties for any region can be de-
termined only by actual trial. A little
inquiry among the local growers will
enable the planter to decide on the best
variety for his use. The Burbank is
planted more widely in this state than
any other variety. 1t is the leading
variety in the irrigated regions, the up
lands east of the Cascade Mountains
and is the main crop variety in several
localities in Western Washington.
Of the diseases of the potato that oc-
eur in this country five are known to
cause damage in this state. These five
are "Late Blight, "Rhizocetonia, :"
