studied so late at night, replied that
he was working out the destiny of his

HE NEVER BLAMED THE BOOZE

He took a bottle up to bed, drank
whisky hot each night;
Took cocktail in the morning, but
never could get tight.
He shivered in the evening, and al
ways had the blues
Until he had drink or two-but he
never blamed the booze.
He claimed he eouldn5t sleep at night
and always had bad dreams;
He claimed he always laid awake uns1l
early sunrise, beams.
He thought it was malaria alas!
twas but a ruse;
He blamed it onto everything he
never blamed the booze.
His constitution was run down-at
least that's what he said.
His legs were swelled each morning
and he often had swelled head.
He tackled beer, wine, whisky, and
if they didn't fuse,
He blamed it on dyspepsia he
never blamed the booze.
His liver needed scraping and his
kidneys had the gout;
He swallowed lots of bitters, till at
last he cleaned them out.
His legs were swelled with dropsy It'll
he had to cut his shoes.
He blamed it on the doctor-but ne
never blamed the booze.
Then he had tremens and he tackled
rats and snakes;
First he had the fever, then he had
the shakes.
At last he had funeral, and the
mourners had the blues,
And the epitaph carved o'er him was
"He never blamed the booze"

G. o. p. SUPPORT NEEDED

III Is becoming more and more an
parent that President Wilson will need
the support of good many Republi-
cans II he hopes to put through meas
ures for military preparedness at the
coming session of congress. Repre-
sentative Kitchin OF North Carolina.
who will succeed Senator Underwood
as a leader of the Democratic major
ity in the house, is said to be unaItef-
ably opposed to any increase in the
appropriation for the army and navy.
The same is said of Representative
Shirley of Kentucky, who will become
chairman of the committee on appro-
priations.
Representative Hay of Virginia,
chairman of the house committee ON
military affairs, is quoted as favor
ing an increase of 10000 men to the
standing army, which would make if
lZ0,oOO strong. He also favors fed
erai pay for the national guardsmen
and an increase in the field artillery
strength. He has always been known
as small army man.
While Mr.. Hays apparent willing
ness to follow the wishes of the presi-
dent is regard to a citizen soldiery
+ is hopeful sign, the strength of
hitchin and Shirley is apt to embar-
rass the administration in whatever
military program it proposes. If the
defense problems can be out of the
way early in the session before party
alignments boone too fixed, the re-
publicans undoubtedly will have con-
siderable weight in determining future
preparedness.

SELECT YOUR
SEED POTATOES NOW

The matter of seed selection of
potatoes has been largely neglected
although the potato responds quick
ly to selection as any form of crop
The fact that like produces like
should not be lost sight of in the i'm
provement of the potato crop.
OF all the factors in potato grow
ing, selection of seed is by far the
most important, and the only place
from which to make this selection is
from the field during or just be-
fore the time of digging the crop.
In selecting potatoes in the field
considerable dependence can be plac-
ed on the appearance of the tops. A
large perfect top with several stems
of good shape and size, can usually
be depended upon to have more tub
ers under it, and of more uniform
quality and size than a hill with a
single stalk or with small weak stems
Select much in the same way as seed
corn is selected in the field from the
best individual stalks; there is. nc
other way to get true breed charac-
teristics in potatoes except by select
ing seed from perfect hills.
The standard which should be the
guide in seed selection might be: Pure
seed from productive plants, not over
ripe, uniform in size and shape, firm
and sound.
Now, as the time is approaching
when the potato crop will be dug
let us select a few hundred pounds
of seed true to the type of the var
iety planted, from those hills that
yield not less than twelve commercial
potatoes (some say twenty free from
disease and imperfections, for the
seed plat next year, from which plat
the seed for the next years potato
field will be obtained after the Sc
lection for next seed plat is made.
By following this method potato
culture in the San Juan basin will be
recognized over the country, and n
seed center will be established here
that will make the growing of this
crop more profitable.
The average yield of potatoes in
the United States is about SO bush
els to the acre. The average yield
in England is about 200 bushels per
acre. The Earl of Roseberry produc-
ed 1000 bushels per acre in Scotland
in 1910. This wide variation in yield
is largely due to difference in seed
selection as well as cultural methods.
Do not fail to make selection of
seed when you dig your potatoes.
