Potato Varieties

The Great Divide" is the best
general purpose potato that can be
grown here, in the opinion Of Rag
mar Kullberg, a member of the high
school garden club, who has been
experimenting in the growing of
potatoes the past two or three sea-
sons. On his experimental plots,
young Kullberg has grown the
Great Divide at the rate of 376
bushels to an acre, though no such
yield should be expected in grow.
ing large fields for market.
The Early Rose is the best early
Spotato, and Carmen No. 3 is the
best late potato, Mr.. Kullbere
thinks. The latter is so like the
Rural New Yorker that it canno'
be distinguished from it except b!
its yield, which is much greater fol
the Carmen No. 3.
Selecting the best potatoes from
the best hills for seed is the secre
of growing large crops of good pc
tatoes, says Mr.. Kullberg. He be
lieves that many people make tn
mistake of not cutting their see
carefully. Experiment has show
that there should be two or thre
eyes on each piece of seed put ir

A Readers Version

The following letter was received
from former resident of Kend-
rick. We believe the criticisms it |
contains are of the right sort. If
we would all get busy and criticize
the town critics, instead of our
town, better results would follow.
Editor Gazette - Glancing over
the last issue Of the Gazette, find
numerous letters written by busi-
ness men on the subject of whats
The Matter With Kendrick." One
business man says, 81 cannot give
the name of a single young man
from Kendrick who has graduated
from a College within the past ten
years." This sounds like typical
wall of the pessimist. Without
even considering facts or looking
up records, he criticizes the town
at the expense of the young men
who have gone out. Sir, can give
you the names of score of Young
men and women from Kendrick,
within the last eight years, who
have attended Colleges and Univer-
sites and whose college records are
above reproach and open for your
inspection. We have graduates
from the University of Idaho, and
Washington State College. we have
graduates from the University of
Washington at Washington, D. G..
We have today students at the
most reputable medical institutions
in the country. Yes, look at the
number of normal graduates from
Kendrick and who are teaching the
younger generation today. The
fact is this, that even though Keld-
rick is lacking in educational fa-
cilities. the young men and women
are as full of energy and ambition
or in other words as full of Pep and
Vinegar" as any in the state. The
best thing the town can do is to
rid itself of these pessimists and
get the Pull-together habit. Adopt
the slogan "Live and Let Live.
The little town has made wonderful
% progress within the last few years
Look at the magnificent High
School, the Lighting plant, thu
Creamery, the Elevator, etc.
say Kendrick is the biggest LITTLE
town in the northwest and she ma.
we'll feel proud of the young mel
and women who have gone ou
within the last ten years,

last week printed the following:
"Workmen while grading, for the
Fairmont and Wyatt Railroad on the
B. W. Shinn farm near Pine Blum, I'M.
earthed the skeleton of what appears
to be giant of oldel times. The skel.
eton was found In the mound opposite
the residence OF B. W. Borgess.. The
skull and several of the large bones
were in a good state of preservation
The skull being something near the
size of two gallon bucket with no
forehead, and long under jaw. The
ribs. so far as can be determined
appear to be about three times the
size of that OF the average man Of the
present time. One thigh bone which
is we'll preserved. measured four and
one.half feet in length which shows
this was person of great height.
Small bones. which appear to be
those Of the hands and fingers. would
indicate hands OF an enormous size.
The feet appear to be in proportion
with the other parts Of the body.
There has been quite little specu.
lation as to what that old mound con.
tanned, but up to the time the rail.
road commenced cutting it open 40
one ever had the nerve to open It..
Some Of our best read citizens OF this
section Charles Randall for one)
claimed that it was just an ordinary
mound, such as is found in so many
places in Ohio, Indiana and numerous
other states, built by the Mound
Builders, but now as the mound has
been opened and nothing found but
single skeleton all have come to the
conclusion that the mound was moth.
ing more than the grave Of the giant,
who must have been the king OF his
tribe. 1t Is understood that the par.
ties having this skeleton in charge will
ship same to a New York museum"
