Successful Potato Growing

The aim OF most farmers Is 10
raise everything possible for use on
the family table. buying only such
vegetables and fruit as are not
indigenous to the section in which he
lives. This particular section OF the
earth is especially fortunate in be-
ing adapted to growing a variety
OF garden products, sufficient In va
ricty to keep the farm table well
supplied with vegetables, both In
season. and at other times, in the
form OF canned food. Tomatoes, cab
bage. corn, peas radishes, beans and
practically all the common varieties
OF garden produce thrive In our fer
tile soil and produce abundan,
yields. But the one thing lacking up
to the present time, has been potn-
toes. Potatoes form an important
part Of the diet OF most families
and the inability OF our soil to pro-
duce them has been deplored in our
hearing a countless number OF times.
Various experiments have been
made by various Interested parties.
one Of them being the practice OF
irriga,lnF about every two weeks,
or as often as the ground begins
10 get a little dry. the theory being
that the ground gets too hard for
the small potatoes TO form and grow.
Some degree OF success has been at
tanned with this method, hut It has
one draw back Not all OF the farm
ers In this valley have the privilege
Of drawing water any time II Is
wanted, and consequently potatoes
grown by this method are apt TO snf-
fer at one time or another during the
time they are forming. 4 near
neiRhbor. J r. Lantz, has, during
the past two seasons. successfully
grown potatoes for the use OF his
own household. by the simple eN-
psdient OF mulching them rather
thoroughly after planting His
tubers last year yielded splsndldly,
and all that have been dug this
year turned out fairly we'll. The eN-
trems dry weather Of the early part
OF this summer no doubt reduced
the yield to some extent.
We are not certain that potatoes
could be grown economically by this
process although II Is not at all inn
/ probable. But II farmer can find
some method ny which enough could
be grown for his own Use by plant
ing an odd corner or two II would
be a great boon 10 many families
who use them freely. Every farm
has straw stacks and tops and bot
tom hay stacks that could we'll be
utilized In this manner instead of
being burned as Is so frequently the
case. In addition 10 helping raise
potato crop. the material would
be on the ground the next year to
be ploved under and converted in
to humus, a material which most
OF our land badly needs We believe.
In the light of the results above
mentioned. that the experiment is
worth at least one trial.

NEW YORK CAR STRIKE BECOMES
MORE SERIOUS

1t was at first thought that the New
York City car strike would not be serious,
as the elevated and subway trains con-
tinued to run so nearly on their regular
schedules, owing to the employment Of
strike breakers, that the service was re-
garded as practically normal. The red
surface cars of the third and second ave-
nue. lines also performed their usual ser
vice. Only the green cars stopped-and
not even all Of those The situation, how
ever, has since assumed a graver aspect.
Surface car transit, at latest reports,
was virtually at a standstill in Manhattan,
the Bronx, Yonkers, and other parts of
Westchester county. Subway and elevated
facilities were also considerably affected.
Leaders are holding conferences seek
ing a sympathetic strike among various
crafts, which, if successful, would call out,
it is estimated, about 100000 workers in
the Metropolitan district This would in
clude stage employees, long shoremen,
brewery workers, machinists, moulders,
and printers.
Samuel Gompers, president of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor, is reported as
using his influence to prevent action of
this kind
Mayor Mitchell and the Public Service
Commission took steps, on September II,
to terminate the strike by urging that it
be declared off Immediately, and that both
sides arbitrate their differences Theodore
P. Shonts, president of the Interborough
Rapid Transit Company, announced, how
ever, that he would not accept the recon-
mendation of Mayor Mitchell and the Com
mission.

REPUBLICANS WIN MAINE
ELECTION

The Republicans made a clean sweep
in Naine on September 18th, electir.g the
governor, two United States senators, an
auditor and four congressman. They also
won control Of the state legislature
The Maine elections were watched with
intense interest by the country at large
While Maine was formerly a strong Re-
publican state, the elections of late years
had been exceedingly. close In 1910. the
Democrats won by a plurality Of $500
Two years ago, they won by 3,177. The Re
publican majority this year was about
$1,000.
1t is estimated that eighty per cent of
the Progressive vote Of the state lined up
in last Monday election with the Republi-
cans The remainder went with the De-
mOcrats
The Republicans claim that the Maine
vote presages the election Of Hughes and
a Republican Congress.
