Single HILL Size Resulting


acres were planted In a special plat
| for seed, to be used for the main
crop the following year. This plan was
which it was said would degenerate
and ultimately run out; but that po-
| tato continued to improve during all
| that time.
Several years ago Prof. E. R. Ben
nett, a specialist in potato work, be-
came interested in the work the writer
was doing and freely complimented
him on his success in potato produc.
ton; but he wanted to take up and
further improve the stock. Out of
specially selected seed he selected
perfect tubers and planted them in y
field by themselves, and when the pc.
tatoes were ready to harvest we dug
all of them by hand and, kept the
product of each hill separate. All
hills that did not have 20 tubeis of
uniform size, without knob, crack, or
rough end, were discarded. No hill
was selected unless it came. within
these requirements, and surprisingly
few hills were found which passed
muster. Enough were selected, how
ever, to make about two hundred
pounds, and these were planted the
following spring. When harvested it
was a most marvellous row of pota-
toes. BY pursuing this method it is
expected that we viii soon have a
potato that will make rs perfect tu-
bers TO the hill.
Had we bred our Shorthorn cattle
as we have been in the habit Of Sc
lecting and breeding our seed pota-
toes, we would now have no breed of
and scrubs to breed from, our breeds
of stock would soon run out. These
breeds have been brought to their
present standard by selecting the best
on scientific principles Of breeding.
One reason why potatoes have degen-
Grated in the past is that the potato
growers of the United States have
planted their culls and screenings I'M
der the erroneous impression that
such, methods in seed selection would
produce as good results as any other.
In selecting potatoes in the field,
considerable dependence can be
placed on the appearance OF the top.
A large, perfect top, with several
stems of good shape and size, can be
depended upon to have more tubers
under it, and of more uniform quail
ity and size, than a hill with single
stalk or one with small weak ones.s

The natural home OF the potato II
the mountain valleys Of South Amer
lea Where natural conditions are ia
vorable for the growth Of plant
there it will reach the highest degree
of perfection. In the mountain valleys
of parts of the West are found con
ditions of altitude, soil and moisture
naturally favorable TO the growth OF
the potato, with an almost entire alb.
sence of harmful freezes and bac-
terra enemies.
In providing a suitable soil for pc.
tatoes, the question naturally arises,
How shall we perfect and husband
fertility? Live stock is the real basis
of success in every agricultural dis
trict in the world, The feeding of
grains and grasses on the farm re-
places in the soil the vegetable matter
which produces the humus and fur
nishes the nitrogen that keeps up the
fertility of the soil. 1t Is utterly i'm
possible to grow good potatoes with
out an open, porous soil.
Nothing but the legumeg-alfalfa or
clover are good-should be used as a
foundation crop. The writer grows
slfalfa or clover-sometimes both
for three or four years previous to a
potato crop. The soil Is broken up
In the fall quite deep. Fall blowing
is beneficial for the reason that it
puts the soil in better condition to re-
ceive and store heat from the rays
of the sun than spring blowing. In the
spring the soil should be worked over
with disk or spring-toothed har-
row until it is thoroughly fined IT is
very important that the soil be we'll
fined and firmed in order that the
root system of the young plant may
be able to secure plant food as quick
ly as possible.
OF all the factors in potato growing,
seed selection is by far the most inn
portant. Some years ago the writer
undertook to improve and develop a
potato along the same lines that he
follows in improving his Shropshire
sheep and Shorthorn cattle, using the
best method of selection and giving
the seed plat the best possible cult
walton and care in order to obtain uni
formity of product. Since that time
he has been selecting seed potatoes of
the size and type which he wants to
produce. AS Bounce potato is
lbout ideal in size, seed potatoes of
hat size were selected from the bin

| Many amusing stories are told con
corning "Hurry-Up" Yost, the great
Michigan coach, to show that he is a
hurry-up person in everything he does
and that he has absolutely no patience
with delays or with one who is in
clined to be dilatory.
Once upon a time Yost invited a
friend to visit him at a place where
he was camping. The friend arrived
in due time and Yost met him with a
buggy and proceeded to drive the
friend to the camp. Yost drove his
horses like he drives his footballers
fast and still faster.
In due course of time the buggy
reached small creek and Yost, in
stead Of driving a half mile for a
bridge, drove across the little stream.
1t was a time-saving process. The
horses were going at great clip.
The buggy. wheels struck a rock and
the buggy nearly upset. Yost's friend
was thrown out of the buggy and into
the creek.
Yost, who had been busily engaged
in talking and driving at the same
time, never noticed the absence of his
friend until he reached the other side
of the creek. Then he pulled his
horses down to jog, looked back and
saw his friend wallowing in a deep
pool in the creek.
Hey, what you delaying things for,
any way?" yelled Yost. Hustle up
and get out Of that creek. Can't wait
all day"

went to Europe last spring to
coach the Austrian candidates
for the next Olympic meet, has
returned home because the Eu-
ropean war left him without
any duties. CONSUMPTION for
service practically depleted the

WANTS U.S.. SEIZED AND
DIVIDED AMONG NATIONS
OF THE WORLD

ence OF The Associated Press. )-
The subjoined curious communi-
cation written on thick official
looking folio paper without any
indication Of its origin has been
delivered by messengers at the
office of the Agence Havas, the
principal news agency in France:
Thee. UNITED STATES AS
THE PRIZE FOR SETTLE
MENT OF THE PRESENT
CONFLICT.
1t is stated on high authority
that suggestions have been made
in the diplomatic circles Of Euro
paan chancelleries declaring that
the easiest solution and the one
most acceptable t. all the war
ring nations would be the par
tition among them of the United
States of America. The United
States OF America are a most
inviting prize as compensation
for the sacrifices rendered by
the nations, and ar arrangement
on the asis of the respective
relations of the different nations
is surprisingly practicable.
SO far from being a visionary
scheme for a solution Of this
great world conflict, the fact Is
IoaIy too apparent that only a
small part Of the effort expended
in the sanguinary struggle, now
raging, would have suticed to
satisfy all nations in their Ie
spective ambitions.
"A noted diplomat declared
his surprise, that this idea OF
the partition Of the United States
had not emerged sooner, because
he land is SO largely made UP
Of the constituency Of all the
warrinI nations.
The tentative plan to satisfy
.hus The national ambitions Of
the European countries at war,
instead Of prolonging the inter
necine struggle, is broadly out
ined as follows:
Great Britain is to occupy
New England, Maryland, Virgin
IA. North and South Carolina,
Georgia and Florida.
France is to get the French
parts of Eastern Canada and the
States of Louisiana. Alabama,
Arkansas. Tennessee and Ken
lucky.
Germany is to occupy the
States of New York, Pennsyl-
yania, Ohio, Indiana, Michigan,
illinois, Missouri. Iowa, Wiscon-
sin and Minnesota.
Japan is to take the Pacific
coast, the State of Oregon, Up
per and Lower California.
Mexico is to be compensated
for Lower California by ceding
TO it Arizona, New Mexico and
part Of Texas.
Russia will receive Alaska.
The Panama Canal will be
declared free, whilst the West
ern States, North and South
Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas. Okla
homa, Montana, Washington, Id
aho. Wyoming, Utah and Colo
rado will be consolidated into an
emperial crown-domain of the
German Empire.
Though these 'satisfactions'
are to be acquired in a concerted
campaign, each of the several
nations is to effect the occupa-
ton of its own allotted territory.
Thus, it is claimed, would
best be met the rights and inter-
ests of the different nations Of
old Europe, as it would safe
guard their nationals under their
