MY PRIZE POTATOES

uf Hew He Did IL

Merle Heyer. the schoolboy Of Lew
iston, Cache Co.. Utah, was declared to
be the champion boy potato grower Of
tho United States. He went to- Wash
ington to the National Meeting Of boys
and girls clubs and met the President
He wrote an article telling how he
won the prize. II follows:
In producing my potatoes this Is the
plan followed: ! chose q sandy
loan that had been In alfalfa for six
years, Before breaking up or plow-
Ing the land. I spread a thin coat OF
bafn.Sard manure over It. On the 9th
u May I plowed the land eight inches
deep and while the land was still moist
narrowed 1t we'll.
used the Early Eureka variety of
potatoes. tho Same that had grown
the previous year. I had selected nice,
smooth. uniform potatoes, about the
sise OF an egg or perhaps little lar
ger. ana all free from disease. l Sc
lected these by hand from the most
productive hills. The seed was cut
In halves before planting. II may be
well to mention that cut them
lenshtwise.
After the land had been prepared
and the seed was ready, planted them
on the 18th OF May. uSing an Aspin-
Wall planter. Nothing more was done
with the potatoes until May 26th. and
on that day I narrowed the land for
the second time This did to kill all
weeds that might be coming up and
also keep moisture In the ground.
On June 28th cultivated the pota-
toes for the nrst time. using a disk |
cultivator. 1t not only killed weeds
but also billed up the rows. cult
waited again on July Srd. using the
Same cultivator.
During theg rowing season kept |
the land we'll moist by sub-irrigation,
the ditch being two rods north of the
patch. Not much can DO said about |
irrigation AZ the moisture was regu-
lated BY the rising or : wering Of the
water In the ditch. and aimed to keep
tho land we'll moistened.

natural, pleasant-tasting remedy,
gentle yet positive in action, and
quicly relieves indigestion, consti-

There are but few who linger to listen to the
barker begging every one to enter the tent where
is exhibited the last of the political mountebanks
claiming even semi-respectability. the only self
confessed liar out of captivity who has admitted
under oath that he lied lied for dirty dollars,
lied though it might destroy the character of
those who had placed confidence in him, but who
has lied and lied, and then has lied some more,
that he might enrich himself at the expense of a
house of God. Enter, ladies and gentleman, .
yells the respondent barker and behold the
aged mountebank grimacng and playing with
the gentle marmoset who looks human enough to
be 'devilish good governor. Admission only
two cents, and the last opportunity on earth to
behold all in one, professional bribe-giver, a
corrupt lobbyist wanton prohigate, a crooked
politician, self-confessed liar, man without
character or reputation. All these attractions,

mountebank who has the audacity to attempt to
direct the destinies of free people and to rule a
proud commonwealth because he can boss a dew
