or the growth of efficiency in commercial

exhilaration. because even moderate drinking
affects finally and cumulatively both your
mental and physical capacity for doing your
work"
Here are some figures he gave me of the
economic effects Of prohibition in the state
and the saving to the state government and
consequently TO the people. In seventeen
cities in the state, within two months after
prohibition became effective, arrests OF all
kinds decreased sixty-six and two-thirds per

So in commercial life in every section il il
not question just of excessive indulgence
but rather the growing demand that men IN
responsible positions do not drink at all, and
among those coming on that even moderate
indulgence is distinct bar to promotion. So
in the business bodies and commercial clubs
everywhere, in their functions, wine is less
and less the accompaniment of entertainment.
Its presence now excites the same comment
that its absence formerly did. The impression
prevails more and more in the thinking bust
ness world that we had best learn by steadily
growing abstinence that lesson Of efficiency
versus alcohol that Russia learned only by the
cataclysm Of war.

Potatoes 1000 Bushels to Acre.

There was much interest in the recent
potato demonstration on the farm OF T.
p. Prentiss at Mt. Hope farm in Will
liamstown, Mass. Mr.. Prentiss has been
devoting four years of experimental
work to growing of potatoes, largely
with the object of securing better yields.
That he has been unusually successful
ia attested by the fact that one plot dug
some time ago In the presence OF agri-
cultural men from Massachusetts,, Yer
mont, New York and many local farm
ers, yielded at the rate of 600 bushels to
the acre. The variety was Rural New
Yorker. Another variety which Mr..
Preptiss has dubbed Mount Hope made
500 bushels TO the acre.
tits the belief at Mount Hope farm
that potatoes should not be dug less
than Is weeks from the time of blossom
ing. One plot dug 10 weeks from the
blossoming period yielded GOO bushels.
and an adjoining plot dug Is weeks after
the blossoming period yielded 800 bush.
els. Another point of emphasis is the
elimination of small hills. In accom-
plishing this all potato seed In dinerent
hills 10 kept separate. In winter these
individual hills are sorted and oil swsu
potatoes thrown out, leaving only toe
sound true -to-type specimens. The va
rious selected hills are planted by them,
selves and numbered. There were 269O
such hills 80 planted this year. There
we're Is hills Of each number, thus max
ing an immense amount OF detail WORK
10 keep the checking straight. In some
of the seed thus selected and through
favorable conditions the harvest at the
field day, Oct. II, showed yield ut the
rate of 1915 bushels TO the acre.

Going to School.

"Short Courses in Agriculture, -
"Farmers' Week" at the state colleges
and Farmers Institutes provided with
lecturers learned in various phases OF
agriculture, are at this season inviting
the farmer to 60 to school, II only for q
little while. Two facts may be deduced
from these efforts of the state to add to
the farmers knowledge. The first is
that the state at last recognizes that
agriculture is Q science, and that those
who would successfully engage in 1t
must undergo thorough training In the
theory and practice of the art; and the
other Is that agriculture 10 Of such
transcendent importance to the state
that It is wise to foster it In every
practical manner.
1t is entirely safe to say that no other
industrial calling demands such varied,
expert knowledge to carry 1t on success
fully as that of farming. This fact ex-
plains why 80 many who take It up often
do not succeed. For "this venerable
Mother of all the arts" a. Emerson call.
ed the science of agriculture, does not
lightly yield up her secrets. They are
secured only by infinite pains.
The young farmers, and the older ones
as we'll, who are In position to take ad-
vantage of the opportunities to gain
knowledge at little cost may consider
themselves most fortunate. Many of
the fundamental truths of agriculture
have been common knowledge for thou
sands of years, but scientists are CON.
stantly discovering new ways of apply
ing these truths, and there need be no
fear that We may know too much.-W.
