POTATO CULTIVATION.
Should Be Constant, According &
Sheldon w. Funk.

onou'o 6e constant according 20
Sheldon w. Funk.
An essential for success with pota.
toes is constant cultivation, according
to Sheldon w. Funk. farm adviser of
the department Of agriculture. Con.
corning cultivation. Mr.. Funk says:
I'VE now come to the problem of
constant cultivation. which means that
the potato field should be cultivated
properly at least every ten days and.
better still. every week as long as we
can get through between the rows.
That does not mean from the time the
potatoes are planted. but beforehand
as well. Remember that at no time
can the field be as well cultivated as
before the tubers are planted Thor
ough preparation Of the soil before
planting is very important and should
never be neglected.
Between the time when the tubers
are planted and when the stalks start
coming through the ground l like to
harrow them several times with the
spike tooth harrow to form q dust
mulch and destroy the small weeds as
well. After they are up nicely we are
then ready to begin our regular cult
walton, either with the sulky or the
single horse cultivator. Some seasons
we have considerable rain at this time
Of the year, and we are not able to use
the spike tooth harrow as frequently
as necessary, with the result that when
we start on that first cultivation the
field Is covered pretty thickly with
small weeds. Unless we are very care
full with these cultivators at this par.
ticular time some one will have to do
some hoeing in the potato field, and
that Is one job that detest. Be care
full to put good wide teeth next to the
row on your cultivator and then lap
the soil from both sides on the row so
that every weed is covered. regardless
Of how many potato stalks you cover
The potatoes will all come through this
soil. but the weeds will be killed, and
usually no hoeing is necessary
1T IS important to make the first or
second cultivation pretty deep. but aft
er that cultivate as shallow as posi-
BILE. Our object is to retain Il constant
dust mulch so as to hold the moisture
in the soil and prevent it's escape by
evaporation. but great damage can he
done here by going too deep. The po
tato plant sends its feeding roots out
through the soil between the rows very
quickly. and If We are not extremely
careful with our cultivators we cut Off
immense numbers Of feeding roots and
do more harm than good. think 1t is
far better not to cultivate at all than
to cultivate deep in the middle of the
growing season. We practice a level
system Of cultivation. Our potatoes
are planted pretty deep, and therefore
there is no tendency for them to work
out of the SOIL"

UNWISE TO GUST PRESIDENT, VIEW
 OF MIDDLE WEST
People Satisfied with Wilson, I Is said-RspubliOans Will Have Mighty Hard Time To Alter
 Democratic Impression.

NEW YORK, July 1. (Speci0D-- Several leaders Of tho Republican Party in the Middle West, holding conferences here this week. are un- der the impression that the Repub- Iican presidential campaign, if Mir. Hughes ls to occupy the White House. must be the hardest drive made by the c, O. P since the Me Kinley-Bryan fight.
 "Jnless almost superhuman ef- forts are made the solid Middle West will swing into the Democratic column. more than offsetting the an- ticlpated return of the Republicans To power in New York and the East" said a well known politician 1 from ohio. The same impression Is conveyed by those from Indiana, H. Illinois. Iowa, Kansas. Nebraska and Wisconsin,
 "The ayerageNintelligent voter of our section of the country, whether Republican. Democrat or Progress i've, is amazed by the feeling of con hdence entertained by Eastern Re- publlcans, said the man from the Buckeye state.
 Much sentiment in the Middle West is that 1t is unwise to change the administration at Washington at this time" he continued. What is opinion in New York;" is a ques- otlon raised between the Mississip- pi and the Alleghany. The answer is invariably that New York believes Wilson's defeat a matter of only waiting for election day.
 Wilson is going to be hard man to beat. I don't just see how 1t Is to be done. is the response nine times out of ten.
 The question as to what seems to form the Presidents strength ex- poses widely different viewpoints. With hardly an exception, come words like there:
 "'Weu, you see, the people out here are pretty well satisfied. Most of them are making money-there seems to be plenty of work and here the voice sinks to an impress siye whisper-'they odn't want any war. It isn't that they are not pa triotic, but that they just do not like the idea of dropping their farms or little businesses and leay- ing families in want while they shoulder a gun.
 "Of course they will SC if they had to but they have a sneaking idea that as long as Wilson can keep them out of war they would rather see him in the White House than some one else"
 How about Indiana?" Q Terre Haute Republican was asked
 I'm afraid the Democrats will carry the state-but it's going to be mighty close shave. Wilson does not appear to be personally popular But men out our way take politics seriously. They think things over form an opinion. and vote regardless of personalities or parties.
 "The average citizen of the Mid de West and the Far West is willing to be convinced He desires to learn. He may be converted to the Hughes standard, but it will require an appeal to his reason and common sense.

MOVIE SHOW OWNERS
ASK POWER RATE CUT
Declare Plague Embargo Will
Shut Many Houses.

Infantile paralysis yesterday came
before the Public Service Commission
to show its power in cutting down the
profits Of motion picture houses.
The Board Of Health has restricted
the patronage Of children under six
teen years of age 20 these places OF
amusement and the owners have ap-
pealed TO the commission for permis-
sion to counteract the deficiency by
procuring a reduction in the rates OF
electrical current.
A delegation Of exhibitors from
Brooklyn, including William Brandt,
executive secretary. asked the Public
Service Commission to permit the Edi-
son Electric Illuminating Company OF
Brooklyn TO make cut in the rates
Of current used by the houses.
According 70 Mr. Brandt, the plague
has so affected the motion picture
houses in Brooklyn that majority
of the shows will have to close until
the embargo is lifted.
IL was explained 70 the delegation
that the laws of the commission pro-
hibited discrimination in rates and that
the commission was powerless to grant
the request, unless a uniform reduc-
ton was accorded to all consumers IN
the same class

"Why Do They Quibble?" Cry
OF Starving Garment Strikers
Because They're Bosses. Answers One Wiser than His
Fellows in the Daily Conference of Hope
in Seward Park

From the row of brick buildings on
East Broadway, opposite Seward Park,
4 steady stream of newsboys poured all
day yesterday and rushed with their
wares to the loungers on the benches
in the park. In big. black headlines
the Yiddsh dailies told of the latest
developments in the clothing strike sit
uation. At noon the strikers learned
that the situation was the same as it
had been the night before; at 3 o'clock
they were informed that the concilia-
tion committee was in conference; at
o'clock it was still in session.
"Why do they quibble?" asbed an
old man.
Because they are the BOSSES" re-
piled a younger man, bitterly.
On one of the benches sat five men.
Two Of them might have fitted into a
picture of patriarchs droning over yell
low tones. Battered derbies. unlaun-
dered shirts open at the collar and
ragged trousers completed the cos
tunes Of the other three. For ten
weeks they had met daily in the park
that serves as convention hall for the
East Side.

man called Weiner, tremulously. ut is

Then the little group began the daily
argument, which ends only one way

They agreed that something had to be

Men with long white boards and pale
young men with the forelocks pre-

into the park. Everywhere the subject

time. They said that they would talk
over this proposition, the nature Of

make their answer at the meeting to be

One of the most important conces-
