BY WAY OF COMPARISON.

That great peace parade recently

It was indeed a demonstration the
like Of which is seldom seen the world

weight in encouraging the spirit Of
national preparedness, and bring the
people to realization Of its most
vital importance.
It remains, however, for a cores
pendent Of the New York sun to show
how puny was this parade when com

parade as against the victims Of the

cause leading up to the demonstra-

Germany's casualties to date as:

HOW To PREPARE, PLANT AND
CULTIVATE IRISH POTATOES

Fall potatoes: One Of the most prof
liable crops, and one OF the most use
ful that can be possibly be planted on
cur Southern farms, is the fall crop
Of irish Potatoes.
Many people who have tried plant
ing this crop continue to do So, and
the interest is increasing. This crop is
different from the spring crop, will
keep almost Indefinitely as they can be
housed in barrels; in an ordinary Gel
lar, barn or any other dry cool place,
and are convenient for use throughout
the entire winter, and will keep per-
fectly until June and July, when they
are ready for seed that a perfect stand
can be secured from. Therefore, this,
the Lookout Mountain Potato has been
grown year after year strictly for fall
planting, and the seed harvested in
October and November are best for
fall planting.
a perfect stand can be secured from
this seed as they are sprouted by June,
ready to terminate Immediately after
being painted in the ground. They
will not make in the spring, as their
habits have been completely changed
owing to the continued fall planting
for more than 220 years.
The Lookout Mountain Potato is
sound and firm, there never being any
black hearts among them; also free
from scab. They are the best to keep,
heavy yielders, are mealy and the
very best Of table potatoes.
One of the principal reasons why
people should plant this potato ex-
tensiyely is because they can be Gull
tivated at time when labor is usually
plentiful, and not much else to do on
the farm. Furthermore, their keeping
quality is another reason why you
should plant them and you are never
bothered with the dreaded bugs with
this crop, as they do not propagate
during the cool nights of September
and October.
If the following instructions are
carried out you can easily produce
from 100 to 200 bushels per acre on
good land. The proper way to plant
and cultivate them, for instance; after
grain crops have been harvested the
stubble land is ideal for growing these
potatoes. The ground should be first
roughly broken with a to 4-inch
scooter, narrowed thoroughly with a
disk harrow, and a few days after this
ground should be turned deep with a
two-horse pillow; narrowed thoroughly
and either rolled or dragged. Every
and days weeder or peg-toothed
harrow should be run over the ground
to keep it open and moisture circulat-
ing in the seed and. Any time after
the 9Th of July to the goth of August
for middle and south Georgia is the
proper time to plant as it requires
about 80 days for them to mature.
w. J. Josey has limited amount of
these potatoes on hand, put in your
order to be in time. adv.
