POOR SEED, POOR POLICY

Many dealers in Oregon potatoes de-
clare that Willamette valley potatoes as
rule are poor quality, due to the poor
seed used and to the practice of plant
ing late in the season. In this immedi-
ate vicinity, however, the quality is bet
ter than usual Dealers disapprove the
practice of planting small potatoes for
seed, and assert that the right thing to
d is to select the good-sized, clean pO-
tatoes from well filled hills at digging
time and use them for the next season 's
seed. 1t has been demonstrated time
and again that carefully selected seed is
the chief requisite to good crop, yet
potato growers in general do not seem
to learn the lesson, and the many of the
potato fields of the valley are full of
diseased tubers or very ordinary quality.
Another mistaken idea, according to po-
tato buyers, is that potatoes will make a
better growth if planted late. Early
planted potatoes have time to mature
and keep better than late planted ones.
The best potatoes are those that mature
before the frost, and the heavy fall
rains come on, though they should not
be dug until rain or two has cooled off
the tubers, and put the ground in the
best condition for digging.-Aurora OBJ

MoauL TRACTOR AT WORK

We understand that the Mogul tractor
purchased by Williams Bros. last week
is doing the work intended for it, and
which it was claimed it would do, aud
giving the very best of satisfaction.
Although the ground is quite dry for
blowing, this machine yauks two ll,inch
plows along with apparent ease. And
in regard to the depth of the furrow,
sam says he is turning up plenty of
dirt that never saw daylight before.

dry weather, what will be the result un-
Ter more favorable conditions!
A discovery has also been made which
gives promise of making material re.
duetion in the cost of operating the out
fit. BY way of experiment Messrs. Will
liams placed four gallons of what is
known as stove oil in the tank, and il
was found that it worked Just as well
as the more expensive fuel: the power
was apparently just as great. This pro
duct can be purchased for about six
cents per gallon, which will render the
Mogul method OF doing work very
reasonable one.-Donald Record.

WHAT MR.. HUGHES WILL DO

Mr. Frederick M. Davenport is commended by the
Oregonian for his defense of Candidate Hughes Among
other things Mr.. Davenport says Of his client is What
Mr.. Hughes says the stump he will, he will do. The
country knows that and the party leaders know it, That
is his kind of man."
Suppose we accept Mr.. Hughes at the valuation Mr..
Davenport places him. Mr.. Hughes it is reported,
said on the stump that if he elected "he would wipe
all democratic legislation off the Statutes Now if he is
the kind of Mr. Davenport says he is, having so
stated hat he will do" In other words he will wipe the
rural credit laws off the statutes He will do away with
the federal reserve banks. He will do away with the
Adamson bill and wipe out the eight hour day. He will
abolish the Fusuruth seamens law that permits sailors
to remain human beings. He will put end to the work
Of the tariff commission of businessmen who examin
ing into the tariff from business standpoint for the pur
pose of preparing tariff system based business rather
than the demand Of public punderers. He would dc
away with actual constructive legislation than the
country has had under forty years of republican rule
This Mr. Hughes says he will do and Mr. Davenport says
that what Mr. Hughes says, that he will do If that is
what the voters of the country want then they can rest
assured that it what they will get if they elect Mr.
Hughes. Mr.. Hughes says So and will do it.
