Irrigation Of
p Q t a t O e s

Irrigating potatoes is a rather
delicate operation because apply
ing water in the wrong way will
prove fatal to the crop, no mat
ter what other favorable conditions
are provided before or after. A
reasonably even supply of moisture
is essential to a successful potato
yield. Under irrigation, it is not
an easy task to get this even supply
of water. Potato ground should
never have a heavy application of
water. Soaking the ground will
cause it to settle or bake and good
potatoes cannot grow in soil in that
condition.
There is only one rule that can
be given for irrigating potatoes,
and that is to give them light ap.
plications of water, and apply the
water as often as necessary to keep
the ground moist The number of
times that these light applications
should be put on will depend al
most entirely on the type and phys
ical condition of the soil. The time
the potatoes should be irrigated can
not be determined by dates, but
only by examining the soil to see
whether or not it is moist.
Heavy applications of water will
not only result in the ground be.
coming too hard to allow the growth
of good potatoes, but if given dur.
ing a hot spell of weather, it will
cause second growth.
Light applications of water a:
frequent as needed to keep the
ground moist, and plenty of cultl
walton to retain the moisture that
is put into the ground are abso
lutely essential to successful potato
growing under irrigation.
Further questions on this subject
addressed to the County Agricul
turist, Kennewick, Washington, will

Some sickness among animals
has been reported lately, due,
it is thought, to feeding the
first cutting of alfalfa before it's
being properly cured. Walter
Helsom lost mule and Rod Sprague
had the misfortune to lose Nancy"
valuable mare, one of his fine
young team. but so far, no other
deaths among the affected animals
have been reported. S.V Tanning
has a young colt, apparently af-
fected by the same complaint.

 For one thing, it is said that so large a proportion of agricultural laborers were drafted into the army that work was left to inexperienced hands. The government is cautiously urged to consider that the importance of a good crop this year is sufficient to warrant even the temporary re- lease or men from military duty if they are needed on the farms.
 A shortage of draft cattle is eOm- plained of and last year, it is stated the supply of seed and fertilizer was adversely affected by the strain on the railroads.

HAMBURG DOESN'T WANT
 BELGIUM TO BE GERMANIZED

Special to Gateway by United Press)
 AMSTERDAM, April 1.- One big German interest is working hard for Belgium's restoration to the Belgians. Hamburg doesn't want Belgium to be- come German. The explanation is simple. Antwerp is in Belgium. Hamburg's business men are afraid that Antwerp, under German control would become more important Ger man port than Hamburg
 As a Belgian rival it never has seri- ously worried them, but if it became German they are afraid it would. Ap- parently they consider Antwerp's position more favorable than Ham burg's. They do consider Hamburg however, the best port Germany pos sesses so long as Belgium is left out of consideration.
 With Hamburg German and Ant werp Belgium, the Hamburger's view is that their country's interest and their countrymens prejudices will continue to insure their city the first place among German seaports. They don't think this would be the case for many years if Antwerp were German. Hamburg, therefore, is doing it's best to re-cstabGsh Belgium on its old basis.

SANAK, April 3. The codfshing has not been very satisfactory so far this season. For some reason there have been but few fish on the banks. However, there has been pretty good fishing for the past week and it may be that the fish are simply late in coming.
