SUNLIGHT FOR THE POTATOES
Places as II Is Injurious-keep
Free From Frost.

Aside from the reason that the tu-
bers will sprout If stored in the dark
this practice generally makes 1t nec-
essary to treat the tubers in the
spring for scab, while il they are
stored where it is light. during the
winter, and taken out and aired occar
sionally where there is no danger OF
being frost bitten they will be In ex.
cellent shape so that sun and light
bath for week or ten days just be-
fore planting will be as good or better
than a dose of chemicals to prevent
scab. This is not theory but the plan
has been practiced by many growers
for years. Another thing In the care
of seed potatoes is not to keep them
where they will get too warm; they
should be kept from frost, Of course,

There are reasons why this should
not be done. II one Is to control the
time of narrowing and the use of the
boar it can only be done when he is
kept by himself
II Is a too common practice to sell
the boar when the season Is over rath-
er than keep him for future use, de-
pending upon getting another young
one. This is a ruinous practice and
is largely responsible for small 1T
ters and weak bone. Get a good boar
and keep him for few years. Ma

(2) In cases where there is short
age of teams the following method is
generally practiced. One man, with
three horses, cuts the corn; two men
load the wagons in the field; two men,
or boys, with teams, haul the corn to
the cutter; one man unloads the
wagons; one man feeds and one man
works in the silo. AS soon as a load
arrives at the cutter the teamster
changes his team for an empty wagon
and goes back to the field after anoth-
er load. When a wagon is unloaded
1t is run out of the way by hand. With
this method, boys who are not strong
enough to handle the green corn, can
be utilized to drive the teams. This
method requires a crew of six men
and two boys, exclusive of the engine
tender.

able and help is scarce, the following
arrangement of men and teams is a
good one. One man, with three

The leading German statesmen ad-

excellent, and, to some extent, justi-
fled by circumstances, but they declar-
ed such peace would be more ruin

FARMER OWNS HIS EQUIPMENT
Often Happens That It Would Be More
Economical to Hire From Others
Interesting Data.
tBy s. L. MACDONALD, Colorado Agricui-
tural College,

tBy s. L. MACDONALD. Colorado Agricul-
tural College,
The writer is of the opinion that
many farmer is tempted to purchase
his own equipment when in reality 1t
would be more economical to hire from
others.
Let US endeavor to ascertain how
many acres of grain farmer should
cut as his annual average before the
purchase of self-binder is justifiabfe.
We assume the following data:
Initial cost of binder ..................$1 $1,000
Annual depreciation, per cent, first
year ........t...t.;....t... .............. u.O
Annual rate of interest, 7 per cent. $50
AHnudi repairs ......................... NV
Cost of Irvine per acre .........,...... 80
Horse labor per hour .................. IL
Man labor per hour .................... Is
Assuming that one man and three
horses with six-foot binder can cut
16 acres in ten hours, we deduce that
cost of labor per acre is 80 cents.
AS against these items let us sup
pose that the farmer could hire the
grain cut for one dollar per acre.
The above data gives us the conclu.
sion, by elementary algebra that O.
man should cut an average OF So acres
annually before the purchase of q
binder will save him money.

An official statement issued in Wen

important successes in the snow
filled passes of the Carpathians, where
they are attempting to force back the
Russians.
Another daring raid on British COM

The conflict which has embroiled

without, so far as is known, any de-

any of the contestants.
Fresh German troops are concen-

other attempt to pierce the allies line

A DAY AT THE CANYON

On Monday the writer was a guest of W. w. Bass, the pioneer scout of the Canyon. MT. Bass has spent thIrty-one years in and near the Canyon and knows more about the geological formation of the Can yon than has been written in books. He can tell you where you can see the most of the canyon and where you can get the best views. He is an interesting talker and entertains his guests from the time they enter his carriage until they return to the starting point. Then too, if you are fortunate enough to be invited to his home, Mrs. Bass will pre- pare meal that will satisfy the epicnrean appetite.
 We met Kolb Bros at the head of the trail who invited us to be their guest at the motion picture show and lecture, and hear the ac- < count of their trip down the can yon from Green River, Wyo. to the end of the canyon. These pictures should be seen by every visitor at the Canyon in order to get better idea of the Canyon and see the parts you could never see in any other way. The lecture by one of the brothers is instructive and en- tertalning.
 At s. D. Pepin's stand near the head of the trail you may purchase for small fee, specimen of the different mineral formation of the Canyon.
 R. P. GilliIand, who solicits for Cameron, can be heard at the head advertising his business.
 Vim. Lockridge, Custodian of the trail, says that the travel down the trail during the month of July was the heaviest in the history of the Canyon. Some 2504 tolls were collected and turned into the Coun- ty Treasury.
 Chas. Button and J. E. Gilson were seen ready to show any tourist the points of interest in and about the Canyon.
 Fred Harvey has been busy too, more busy than the rest. On one day the Fl Tovar served 1865 peo- pie. The Bright Angel was close second serving 1850 meals.
