SELECTION OF POTATO SEED
One Of Most Important Factors for
Success In lndustry-No Waste
Of Plant Food.

One of the essential and most I'M
portant factors for success in the po-
tato industry Is the selection of per
feet seed stock from the hill, in much
the same way as seed corn is selected
In the field from the best individual
stalks.
There is no other way to get true
breed characteristics in potatoes ex-
cept by selecting seed from the per-
feet hill, and seed should be saved
only from hills producing first-class
marketable potato in the growing Of
which there is no waste of plant food
No manufacturer in this day Of
economy could stand the loss entailed
by methods of manufacture under
which he was compelled to Gull out
and throw in the scrap pile 20 per
cent of his product as waste. and no
one can expect the highest success In
potato culture who adopts methods re-
sulting in loss of 20 to go per cent
of his crop in culls and unmarketab!e
potatoes. But this is what the potato
growers of the United States are,
many Of them, doing today.

ONIONS RAISED FROM SEED
Industry 10 Profitable II Proper Meth.
DDS Are Used-DIhfcuIt to Keep
Clean Of Weeds.

Seed onions are of better flavor
and keep longer and are more profit
able to grow than sets, though some
fail to grow them in the home garden
because they are more difficult to keep
clean of weeds.
The best way to raise onions from
seed is by sowing the seed in a bed
or cold frame early in the season and
transplanting later to the row where
they are to grow.
A small section Of the hotbed will
grow 1000 plants until they are the
size of quilts, or they can be crowded.
BY that time the ground will be warm
and all seed will have terminated SO
that the plants may be set in clean
ground that has been worked over to
kill all the young weeds.
If one lacks for room in the hot
bed the seed may be sown in shell
tered place, an old brush heap, ash
bed or some place where the soil is
good.
If there is room to SOW the seeds in
drills six inches apart they may be
worked some to keep them growing
before they are transplanted.
When you are ready to transplant
them, wet the ground and pull the
plants and then cut of about half
the top and slightly tip the roots.
Set the plants from two to three
inches apart in the row and in rows
of IL inches apart. II very dry use
water when transplanting and every
one will live.
II the soil has been well MANFRED
with stable manure or poultry drop
pings and worked over several times
before the onions are transplanted
to the rows there will be but few
weeds to contend with and the plants
will not be checked in growth.
Onions should be pulled and placed
to dry in the shade when the tops be-
gin to turn yellow and drop over

Find Potash In California.

The salt-incrusted valley floor com.
monty known as Searles Lake, in
southern California, has lately come
into prominence through the wide
spread interest in the search for an
available source OF potash in this coun-
try and the apparently promising pros.
poets this locality affords Of con-
siderable commercial production In
the near future. The estimate made
three years ago that this deposit con.
tains four million tons of water solu-
Bile potash salts seems to have been
amply confirmed by subsequent de-
velopments. That this amount Of pot
ash salts will actually be produced
and placed on the market cannot yet
be considered assured, but SO far a.
can be judged from evidence available.
1t seems that this deposit is the most
promising immediate source Of COM
mercial potash In the United States.

which its people have no interest. ST.
Gall is a town of one industry and
that for the export trade, says the

goods, and it's wares have found sale

The town has grown wealthy
through the centuries, and 1t has con-
tinually developed its one industry,
built many factories, large and small,
where an important percentage OF the
embroidered white goods of the world
are worked, and through all the
neighborhood around the city the
same industry has found development
as a home industry, in which hand
machines are used.

st. Gall perches high up on noun

around the mountain cell of learned
Irish monk, St. Gallen, who, taken
sick here in the seventh century
while on a pilgrimage to Rome, built
him a cell 1000 feet up the mountain
side, and, upon his recovery, vowed
to devote his life to the conversion of
the mountain tribes. Around his cell
there has grown up city Of more
than thirty thousand, which bears his
name, and which is known to the dry
goods buyers Of all countries.
An abbey was built, and its Irish
monks, distinguished throughout Eu-
rope for their devotion to learning,
here made safe retreat for their
studies. Centuries before the Renais-
sance the monks of st. Gallen studied
both Greek and Latin, and painstak-
ingly copied many of the ancient
texts. These manuscripts are still

ing them from the surrounding coun.
try to it's factories. Wages in this in
dustry are very low, and many of its
operations can be performed as well
by young girls as by men.
The loiterer next notices lace signs
everywhere, upon commission houses
and factories. Generally, these signs
appear in three languages, French,
German and English. In spring and
autumn he will meet continual
stream Of his countrymen. buyers for
the big importing houses.
Factories Are Worth Seeing.
OF his own free will, however, the
traveller seldom stays. He is always
willing to leave Calais for most any
where. There are plenty Of self-cen-
tered, serious, hustling business
towns at home, and there Is no oc-
casion for enduring the monotonous
twentieth century atmosphere when
one is on pleasure trip. There are,
nevertheless, many things worth see-
ing in the fiat, dingy, strictly practical
port city. Visits to the great lace fac
tories are we'll worth while, and
usually give one a new reverence for
the possibilities Of insensible machin-
cry. To see the most intricate pat

Quisite lace, possibly Of several colors,
with gold and silver threads, and all
this done by a massive, complicated
piece of machinery, at one end de-
vouring thousands of thread strands

human hand, is to witness almost the
perfection of mans inventive genius.
And. then. this piece Of machinery OPP

England. the honors for the manufac-

ferent machines. Calais smuggled its
industry from England, but it has add
ed to the original English processes

ton to claim a perfection of its own.

tary military interest, Calais has the
