School children of Shawnee couR-

Imperialism today
Because of failure of pledge lists
which were to have been used in city
schools to arrive from Manhattan, ru-
raj schools struck the first blow today
when, in scattering districts over the
county. teachers placed food conserva-
ton lists before their pupils. In a few
minutes every pupil has affixed his
or her name to the pledges in sol
emn promise to help win the war by
using less sugar in coffee, by eating a
small portion less bread each week
and by urging mother not to waste
fats and other commodities needed by
the men in the trenches.
Miss M Edna Corbett. county su-
perintendent, said this morning that
the pledge lists had been placed in
every rural school in the county.
Friday Big Day.
No special day, however, has been
set for the $500 children therein TO
sign and the matter will be taken up
in the schools when most convenient
this week. A few of the schools will
register every day this week. The big
rural registration for pupils, however,
will be on Friday, according to Miss
Corbett
City schools, according to H. B. will

Declaration of War Produces Bullish
Markets. High as $2.78
Paid on Tuesday.
Liveliest Movement in Weeks Was
Seen Yesterdays Practical
Pointers on Planting.

The local potato market has taken
on new life. Last Friday a bullish
tone started, and it continued until
the climax was reached Tuesday, when
as high<as $2.78 was paid for Bur-
banksAan increase of $1.28 over the
previous Thursday. Yesterday the
market declined some, and Ohios were
worth So to $2.05, while other varieties
brought from 1920 to $3.50. This
morning the prices started about the
same.
Receipts were light Friday, Satur-
day and Monday, but on Tuesday the
movement became brisker and about
SO loads were hauled in. Yesterday
was hummer, between 1875 and $50
loads being marketed. Receipts were
the heaviest in any one day in weeks.
The declaration of war is response
BILE for the increased prices.
James G. Milward of the Wisconsin
College Of Agriculture, in his "tuber
talks" being printed in the press bulle-
tins Of the university, this week says
that many potato growers now realize
the advantages of planting early in
order to get long growing season.
Ripper stock comes from following this
plan, although dates of planting vary
with the variety.
Where frost occurs as early as Sep
TENDER 1, the growth of tubers is often
checked, making the stock ''green" at
harvest. Such stock is hardly as de-
sirable for commercial or seeding pur-
poses as ripper stock. Rot conditions
in the fall may not be as serious.
Planting usually starts in northern
Wisconsin about May 20, with most of
the work done before June 1. The
planting time for the main late crop
in the central sections of the state is
about ten days later, or from May 80
to June Is.
A good, healthy, sound, piece of seed
is demanded where tubers are cut.
One or two strong eyes are left to a
piece. Many growers use small to
medium sized stock, cutting it in half
lengthwise.
The strong eyes of the potato are
near the "seed end" or bud end. By
cutting the stock lengthwise the
strong eyes are divided. Stock must
be in a growing condition when cut
for seed, that is, it must show evil
dences Of growth, but not badly sprout-
ed or shriveled.
Damage often comes from rotting
of seed pieces before the vines come
up. Hence there is necessity for
a we'll prepared seed bed as we'll as
stock in the best of planting condition.
