When Charles Chaplin, the inisnita.-' b1e stdrunI appeared at the Plaza yesterday in His Trysting Places a two reel Keystone comedy, he was un- consciously responsible for a veritable riot of laughter that kept up for a full half hour. His Trysting Places" is one of the most ludicrous farees in which funny Charlie has ever posed and his attempt to keep appointments with an affinity and at the same time keep in the good graces of his pretty, but hard-working wife. could not be improved upon Tor laugh creating purposes. He gets his In the end but not until the audience is so tired from laughing that the end is almost a relief

UNIDENTIFIED MAN
 GROUND TO PIECES.

Saybrook. Conn, Feb. 9.-An un- identified man, apparently about 55 years old, was killed near the local station on the New York, New Ha- ven and Hartford Railroad early to- day. The body was cut to pieces, the. largest single fragment being the head. It is believed the man was rid ing on the blind end of the forward coach of the fast mail from New York to Boston and that when the train slowed down to take on and drop mail the sudden change in speed threw him off and under the wheels. His hair and moustache were black and his eyes blue and the remnants of the clothing picked up indicated that he was well dressed.
 His cap contained the name of a New Haven clothing firm.

SPRAYING The IRISH
POTATO FOR BLIGHT
BORDEAUX MIXTURE USED SUC-
CESSFULLY AT EXPER iMENT
STATION FARM AT FAYETTE-
VlLLE-OTHER MIXTURES.

The early crop of Irish potatoes in
Arkansas is especially subject to fruit
troubles that can be kept out largely
by spraying. These are the early
blight, sometimes called black rust,
and the Colorado potato beetle. some
times called siaply the potato bug.
The early blight causes the loss often
as much as fifty per cent Of a crop
because of the failure to form tubers
II makes matters worse in dry sea-
son, and in dry seasons causes tho
greatest trouble. Every Irish potato
grower should spray for the blight
because it is so wide spread
that there is hardly potato patch in
the state free from it. and we should
spray also for the potato beetles if
they appear in the potato patch. The
spray for the beetles can be simply
ADDED TO the regular spraying for the
blight and Will cost no more for ap
plication, the only cost being the small
amount for the poison.
For the early blight use Bordeaux
mixture al the strength OF 4-4-o0. Ihi
is the ordinary Bordeaux mixture. For
the potato beetle You can add to this
mixture when you are making the or
binary spraying, five or six ounces Of
Paris green to every SO gallons OF
spray mixture. or you can use two or
three pounds of arsenate of lead paste
10 50 gallons Of this spray mixture
The regular spraying will be given
as follows: The first one when the po-
tato plants are about inches high.
the second and third ones at intervals
of about two weeks following this.
Usually these three will be sufficient
in any ordinary season.

IRISH POTATO G1OW-
ING IN ARKANSAS
TIMELY SUGGESTIONS IN FERT,-
LIKING, PLANTING AND CuLTi-
WALTON OF STAPLE FOOD PROD.
UCT ADAPTABLE TO ARKANSAS.

EXCEPTING rice, the potato is the
most widely used feed plant for the
human family. II should therefore
find place on every farm. Original
ing in America. it has been improved
and its cultivation has been increased
at about the same rate as has been the
increase IN population They are now
grown in all states of the United
States. but principally in the Northern
and Eastern states
Fertilizer.
Generally speaking. fertilizer con-
tanning from three per cent to four
per cent nitrogen, six percent to eight
per cent phosphorie acid, and nine per
cent to 70 per cent of potash will give
good results. tie kind and amount to
apply depending upon the kind or
soil and the natural fertility # the
soil is elayey it viii require less pot
ash than the sandy types.
Planting.
Potatoes should be planted as early
as possible in the spring, say. from
I til udIN ~ III Tie southern pat VI
the state to April / in the northern
part Plant about four inches deep
IN rows three feet apart, planting the
pieces one foot apart in the row.
Or the varieties best suited for Ar
kansas. Red Bliss, Early Ohio and Irish
Cobbler are possibly the best early va
rieties, while Rural New Yorker No.
2, Carmen No. and Sir Walter RAJ
leigh are the best late varieties There
is no one variety that is best for all
soils under all circumstances.
Cultivation.
Cultivation should begin as early as
possible after the plants begin to ap-
pear. and should continue at intervals
of ten DAYS to two weeks. Do not use
plows that run deep into the soil but
rather one that has number of small
teeth to pulverize and loosen the soil
te a depth Of from 21a to 3 inches.
The object of cultivation is to keep
down weeds and to conserve the soil
moisture therefore cultivation should
be done as early as possible after Il
rain even if the ground had been
plowed the day before.
