FALL CROP OF IRISH
POTATOES.

From the 10th to the goth of August

crop of Irish potatoes. depending, of
course, on the condition of the soil
and how much the tubers have sprout.
ed before planting. Seed potatoes
should be well sprouted before plant
ing; otherwise they will not have time
to mature a crop.
Medium to ,small-sized tubers should
be used for the fall crop, planting
them whole. II cut, the pieces gener-
ally rot without producing plant.
Potatoes for the fall crop should be
planted deeper than for the spring
crop. so as to get the tubers down into
cool soil, where they will push out
and grow with greater vigor than
when planted shallow.
About the first of August a crop of
half-matured COW peas should be turn
ed under deep and the land narrowed
and reharrowed at intervals until the
middle of August or later, when the
planting should be done.

BEAN ANTHRACNOSE, OR
POD SPOT DISEASE.
Readily Controlled by Use OF Home
Grown Seed-PIant in Summer
and Mature in the Fall.

Under Louisiana conditions, the
bean anthracnose, or pod spot dis
ease. can be readily controlled by the
use of homegrown seed. The fungus
which causes the disease is not able
to endure the continued high tempera
ture of the summer months. BY tax
ing advantage of this weakness Of the
fungus. we can grow seed for home
painting that will be free of the dis
ease. We can plant the seed in the
summer and have the beans mature IN
the fall. The fall-grown seed is free
Of the disease and can be used the
following spring for the main crop of
beans. Not only will it produce beans
as early and as good as will northern
grown seed, but it will produce pods
free Of the anthracnose disease.
We have found that for conditions
at Baton Rouge that for a fall crop IT
is best to plant the seed during the
first two weeks of August. For condi-
lions In the northern part of the state,
the seed should probably be planted
a week earlier; and for conditions be-
low New Orleans any time during Au-
gust would probably be satisfactory. 1t
is not advisable to plant the SEED
earlier in the summer as beans will
not set pods during the hot summer
months. The seed should be planted
SO that the Towering period will come
during the cooler weather of early
fall

FARMER LEARNED TO KEEP
BOOKS; NOW HAS BANK
ACCOUNT.
Record Should Be Kept Of Each Crop
Means Greater Profit.

A farmer who kept an account of an
Irish potato crop was SO pleased with
what he learned that he decided 10
keep accounts of all his crops the next
year. He soon had a bank account
and farming daily grew more interest
ing to him.
Every farmer should keep books SO
that he may have accurate informa-
ton about his business and may know
the cost of labor. machinery and raw
material. 1t is important to know the
cost of producing each pound of cot
ton or hay and each bushel of corn or
oats. Do not figure on the basis that
it will cost so much to prepare the
land, so much for planting and SO
much for cultivating. That is like
figuring in the air. What you want to
know is not what it costs anybody. but
what did 1t cost you on your farm
as you raised 1t. Keep the record
once and learn something new.
A farmer should be a better corn
raiser next year than he is this year:
keeping an accurate account of the
cost OF producing his crop will help
him to improve. Bookkeeping is
method Of accurate and painstakine
thinking abut ones business. That's
reason enough why a farmer should
keep books. RI Hines

Time for Haste.

A little five-year-old McCordsville
miss has stepfather of whom she
is very fond. One day the stepfather
suffered from violent headache, and
his wife went to the kitchen to pre-
pare some domestic remedy. Lillian
waited quietly for some time for her
mother to return and relieve the suf-
ferer. Losing patience, she went to
the kitchen door and theoretically
called out: Mamma, If you don't
hurry up you're going to have another
husband to bury"

Before our children draw their first
