1T will be hard for US to even get
the seed we need. Owing to the
continued dry weather we have
had our spring pototoes have
matured in a remarkable manner.
From the samples that | have
seen | have seen I think we can
save our seed for a fall crop
right here and now. The fully
matured potatoes should be dug
at once before the ground gets
any wetter and should be laid
away in cool dry place to cure.
BY throughly drying them you
will secure better stands. This
process will take from two
weeks to two months. The more
fully matured potato can be
planted in several weeks in at
tempt to get a midseason crop.
1t is generally recommended
that the potatoes be sprouted in
a cool damp place before plant
ing. Some people have found
that when they cut the potatoes
and tried to sprout them this
way they rotted instead of
sprouting. For this reason it
might be a good idea to try
sprouting the whole potato and
then if it is too large to plant
whole try cutting them after the
sprouts start.
The banks are going to order a
limited quantity Of the Lookout
Mountain potatoes for seed. |
The price quoted us is $4.25 plus
the freight. Put in your name
at once if you want some.

of confirming the war to its present
limits and if possible to get secret OF
public assurance from Germany that
she viii not harm the rights Of the
neutrals.
The second important factor is the
efforts Of the United States To avoid

Austria modify its endorsement of
summarizing.
The third important factor is the
effort Count Won Bernstorff will put
forth to preserve peace after he
reaches Berlin, provided no overt act
has been committed at that time.

UNCOVER RUINS OF A LOST
CITY ON AMERICAN SOIL

ASUNICoN, Feb. 0. Excavat-
ing for the foundations of new pris-
on near Asuncion, worlSmen have un-
covered the remains Of prehistoric
city which psychologists pronounce a
kind of Paraguayan Pofpeii.
The town was laid out in a system
)f rectangular squares, with dIagon-
al avenues and buildings of consider
able size and architectural preten-
sions. From this the local experts
conclude that the inhabitants must
nave reached considerably high
stage of civilization. They figure,
however, that the city must have dis
appeared long before Columbus sail
cd for the new world.
No body ever suspected before
that such remains existed in this part
of South America.
More experienced investigators
than are to be found here have been
communicated with and win study
