Fall Crop of Irish Potatoes

Clemson College, S. C.-The
Irish potato is one of the most i'm
portant truck crops of the South,
yet. it is a crop that is grown to
a limited extent by the people of
our State. The farmers do not
produce enough for their own
use during the winter months.
During the last few years, we
have tested a large number of
varieties at this Station, the idea
being to find variety especially
adapted for planting in mid-sum-
mer. or as a second crop. The
trouble with most varieties is
that they fail TO sprout when
planted IN the summer, and
therefore, the stand Of plants is
very poor, and the yield neces
sarlly unsatisfactory. We have
found that the Lookout Noun
tain potato will produce better
when planted in midsummer
than when planted in the spring.
The tubers will keep from No.
vember until the following Au-
gust in perfect condition. If this
variety proves to be we'll adapt
ed to the Eastern part of our State,
1t seems TO me that it will prac-
tically revolutionize potato grow
ing in this State. The potato
can be grown as cheaply in this
State as any where else, and the
fact that two crops may be
grown on the same land IN nine
months, make this vegetable of
especial importance. A spring
crop may be grown and shipped
to,the Eastern markets. Anoth
er crop may be planted on this
same land, and the tubers har-
vested IN November for market
during the winter months. The
strong points of this variety are
that IS per cent of the tubers
planted in July and August will
produce stong plants, and it
keeps better than any variety T
have ever grown. Unfortunate
ly, 1t is not as good for baking
and for cream potatoes as some
other varieties, but we hope by
selecting to overcome this de-
feet. / strongly recommend that
a series of experiments with the
Irish potato be begun at the
Coast Station.

Unless You Pull Fodder For The
Fun of 1t, Here's a Better
Plan

The demonstration force has
set itself to the task of stopping
fodder pulling in this state bv
getting so much other forage
grown that it will not be neces
sary. State Agent Hudson makes
the following comparison of the
two methods of saving forage:
F"One method is to pull one blade
of fodder by hand at a time.
This is not only slow and there
fore expensive, but it comes
usually in the hottest part of the
year. The other way is to grow
clover, cowpeas and other legu-
mlnous crops and harvest them
by horsepower, cutting a swa.h
three or four feet wide, with the
blade running almost at light
ming speed. Certainly any bust
ness farmer will admit, even
without testing it, that the latter
plan is more economical. 1t is
question, in other words, of
the farmer increasing his work
power, and therefore his earning
capacity"
Nest farmers who pull fodder
every year do so not because they
are compelled to. but because
they are in the habit of doing so.
1t is now time to get ready to
obviate the necessity of having
to pull fodder this year.
The thing to do is to grow
some of the splendid crops
cowpeas, soy beans, velvet beans,
millet, etc.-that are so we'll
adapted to that purpose. A
farmer who does this a few times
will not have to resort to the
antiquated method of stripping
his corn leaves. 1t is not only
two expensive, but very often a
few rains will destroy the fodder
after it has been pulled, and
therefore the farmer loses his
forage, his labor and has also
reduced his corn yield For the
heaviest yield of corn the leaves
OF the plant should be left on the
stalk until the corr is we'll ma
tured.-North Carolina Expert

What to Do for Chigger, or Red
Bug, Bites

1t may BE of interest to know
that 1t is not the adult red bug
that does the biting, but the little
orange-red larvae that are hatch
ed from the eggs usually in June,
July and August. The adult red
bugs are harmless and care moth
ing for human society. The lar
vac. or young red bugs, will
leave their native hauntS, leaves,
grass and damp logs, for Just
one fateful burrow into the hu
man skin.
Moderately strong ammonia
water has been recommended as
probably the best cure for the
bite. A solution of soda water
is also good, and the old house
hold remedy, sailed butter, is an
excellent remedy if used before
the bugs have burrowed very
deep. Another splendid idea is
to take a strong salt water or
soap suds bath as soon as posi-.
BILE after becoming infested.
Removing the chigger with the
point of needle is not a bad
plan, but the point of bite should
be touched with toothpick
dipped in tincture of iodine and
alcohol, equal parts North Car

New Discovery to Take The
Place of Gasolene

A dispatch from New York
says:
LOUIS Enricht has sold the Sc
cret formula of his penny and a
half a gallon for $2,00O,OOO!
Enricht's neighbors in the lit
tie village of Farmingdale. down
on Long Island, thought Enricht
dreaming when he claimed he
could operate an automobile
with a mysterious green liquid
he invented.
But the Maxim Munition Com
pany figured the formula SO
good 1t has agreed to pay $1,000
600 in cash and $l,0OO,O00 in
stock to the inventor.
The process of manufacture,
according 10 Enricht. is very
simple.
Four ounces of strange
chemical mixture. green in COL
or, is stirred into five gallons of
water. The solution goes into
the autos tank aud the auto
runs just as it would if fed with
gasoline.
Henry Ford visited the invent
or, who is 70, and he came
away convinced that Enricht's
discovery was genuine, it is said.
The cost of manufacturing the
liquid is about one and one half
cents gallon.
Here is as much of an expla-
nation of his invention as En-
RIGHT is willing to make: The
addition Of his "green mystery"
to the water in the ''gas" tank
OF an auto releases the hydrogen
gas in the water. The hydro
gen passes into the carburetor,
where it comes into contact
with the air, taken into the en-
glne through the air intake pipe.
The explosive energy TO drive
the engine is the result of this
tcombustion. - -~----s-'s-~,1
Just after he announced his
discovery, Enricht stopped ma
king his fluid because, he said,
he didn't dare to go to drug
stores 10 buy ingredients.
i can't 60 anywhere without
being followed by detectives
working for the oil companies"
said Enricht.
Maxim company officials say
they will produce a substitute
that will be used by every auto
owner and knock the bottom
out of the high price of gasoline.

House Votes Sc, 600, 900 To En-
large Navy Yards

Washington, June 1.-Advo-
Gates of greater preparedness
than is provided by the naval
bill as reported by the committee
won some victories today in the
House. They succeeded in OBJ
tanning appropriations not to ex-
ceed $6,0OO,000 for enlarging the
Navy Yards at Norfolk, New
Orleans, Charleston, Boston,
Portsmouth, N. H., Philadelphia
and Puget Sound. Capital ships
would be constructed at the Nor
folk, Puget Sound, Philadelphia
and Boston yards. An amend
ment designed 10 lower the en-
listment period in the Navy
from four to three years and to
permit men to enter the reserve
after one years service also was
adopted.
An unsuccessful fight was led
by Representative Gardner of
Massachusetts against the sec
ton of the naval bill, embracing
the Hensley resolution authoriz.
ing participation by the United
States in the establishment of an
international court for the en-
forcement of peace. The sec
ton was retained without a roll
call in the House, sitting as a
committee of the whole
PacificIsts, so called little ma
wy" men and manv advocates Of
general preparedness rallied 10
the support of the section.
Speaker Clark took the floor
and aroused enthusiasm by de-
claring the section was the best
feature of the bill.
The Hensley section would
appropriate 100000 and provide
for the appointment of nine men
by the President, at the close OF
the European war, to enter into
negotiations with other countries
for establishment of an interna'
tiOnal court to enforce peace.
1t was placed in the bill as a
compromise when it appeared
that the opponents of greater
Navy would not support the
committee measure.
Representative Camper de
clared the plan could not be
carried out and that if the Uni
ted States had been a party to
such am agreement in 1914 Con
greSs would not have voted to
send the country's quota of 50O,-
600 men abroad to aid in the en-
forcement OF peace.

Greatest Naval Battle of the
War

Wednesday, and the reports of
the losses by the British and by
the Germans are very conflict.
ing. The battle was off the
Jutland coast between the Ger
man and British navics.
London, June 4.-The British
admiralty tonight issued state
ment SAYING there was the strong
est grounds for the belief that
the British navy in the battle
with the Germans off Jutland
last week had accounted for a
total of Is German men-of war
and that there was nothing to
add to or subtract from the orig.
lnal announcement of the Brit
ish LOSSES.
The statement gave the Ger
man losses as two battleships,
two dreadnought battlecruisers,
four light cruisers, nine torpedo
boat destoyers and a submarine.
The pesslmism which prevail
ed as a result Of the admiralty's
original statement of losses,
which now is considered to
have been needlessly candid and
conservative in Understanding
the extent of the German LOSSES
as compared with those of Great
Britain has been greatly lessened
by the latest statement.
A dispatch from Copenhagen
says rumorS are current in Ham,
burg that two additional war
ships than those announced in
the German communication
the battleship Westfalen and the
OattleCruiser Lutzow-were sunk
in the battle. A wireless dis
patch received here Saturday
from Berlin said the German ad.
miralty admitted the loss of the
Westfalen.
The admiralty statement to-
night declares that the German
losses in the fight were not only
relatively but absolutely greater
than those of the British. Main.
tanning its practice of caution,
the admiralty still rcfrains from
giving the names of The lost
German ships
The Indefatigable the Invinci-
bic and the Queen Mary were the
battle cruisers sent to the bottom
by the Germans. The cruisers
Defence, Black Prince and War
rlor also were lost. The War
rlor first was reported disabled,
but subsequently it was an
nounced that she had to be
abandoned by her crew.
The battle seems to have lasted
through the afternoon and the
following night. The German
fleets losses are stated to have
been serions but no very definite
information of these losses is af-
forded. One battlccruiSer is de-
clared to have been DESTROYED
and another severely damaged,
while the belief is expressed that
a large number of German de-
stroyers were disposed Of.
Following quickly upon the
Admiralty announcements, came
the German official version of
the fight which, in general, con-
firms the British account, bat
claimed that the battleShip War
spite also was sunk and other

to the German version of the
battle, were the small cruiser
