NorthcliHe's Test.

In Everybody's Magazine Isaac r.
Marcosson furnishes a concrete Incl
dent which explains In manner Lord
Northcliffe's wonderful success as a
journalist. 1t shows why Northcliffe
and his ramifed interests have forged
ahead:
He once met a subeditor in the CORR
dor of the London Mail building and
asked him how he was getting along
"Splendidly, thank YOU" was the re-
ply.
How long have you been with meT'
six months, my lord"
what money are you getting?"
Seven pounds a week"
Are you happy and contented2"
Eyes, but ! have lots of leisure"
'rThen you are not the man for me.
1 don't want any member of my STAFF
to be happy and contented on FL a
week"
He himself has never been content
with man or machine when he could
get better one.

CULTIVATE MORE
SWEET POTATOES
Use Vine Cuttings From Early Set
Plants to Increase Acreage.

Washington, May 3.-Bigger sweet
potato acreage in Southern States was
urged by the department. of agricul-
turc in a statement explaining that by
using vine cuttings from early set
plants, the cost Of planting an acre
would be only 81 for sweet potatoes,
compared with $40 for Irish potatoes.
sweet potatoes" says the state
mcnt, ARE the South's chief instru-
mcnt for a quick and effective in
crease of the food supply. Seed is
plentiful; last years crop was the
second largest ever produced. BY
means of vine cuttings it is possible
to plant almost unlimited acres Of
this crop and at the same time con-
serve the present supply
That is, a farmer who wishes to
plant ten acres will bed seed enough
say s to 10 bushcls-.to got slips
for one acre. Vino cuttings from this
acre would plant many moro acres,
plantings being possible until the 1st
OF August in the lower South. This
system enables the utilization OF land
from which cary rdtatocs, cabbage
and other truck crops have been
taken.
sweet potatoes arc not expensive
to grow. The yield per acre is
usually greater than that of Irish DO
tatoes, and as food they are as nutri-
