I SEED POTATOES.

In saving seed potatoes select seed
from hills where the plants were
strong and robust and the yield large.
Potatoes from hills containing few
potatoes will give a poor yield.
Select clean, healthy potatoes from
the size of a hens egg down to those
the size Of an English walnut. This
will permit oil potatoes large enough
for use or for sale to be disposed Of.
Avoid all tubers that look diseased.
AS the seed are selected lay them
on the soil for u couple of days to
harden the skin; turn them over and
leave for two or three days longer.
Gather up the seed when the tnbers
are dry and store them in racks or
shallow boxes. spreading the potatoes
carefully over the bottoms only one

Bulb Culture in Fibre.

rect!ons OF bulbs in soil apply equally
to bulbs in fibre. They should be set
in a dark cool place. a closed closet

growth has been made. when they may
be brought into the room to bloom.
Never place either pots or bowls too

will be very slow.

theater last evening. MI. Deadly took
as his theme the Pittnan land grant
bill and showed that it would be a
benefit to Nevada if properly safe
guarded and that safeguarding it vas
up to the state authorities. The gov
ernment in granting the land had SUR
rounded it with the same precautions
that accompanied grants to the var
ious states of the Union and it was
up to the individual states to protect
their own possessions.
Mr.. Frame, who has been a leader
in the Socialist ranks Of Nevada, told
why he was going to support Presi-
dent Wilson and the Democratic ma

pledges with the people and had &C

lation than any administration that
had ever been in control at Wash
ington. Mr. Frame then took I'D the
Pittman land grant bill and tore to
pieces the arguments its opponents
had made against it. His argument
in brief was that the grant was a
great thing for the state and meant
much for it's future development, and
that of the people, officers or legis-
lature of the state were incapable Of
taking care of the grant and protect
ing it they did not deserve any favors
at the hands of the government.
The meeting was held under the
auspices of the Democratic County
Central committee and was presided
