Grow Fall Irish Potatoes,

Several million dollars have been
brought into the state this year by
the fine crop of Irish potatoes In east
en North Carolina. Despite the
adaptability of the state for the grow
Ing Of potatoes, however, tens OF thou
sands Of bushels have been imported
from the Eastern and Central Western
States every fall and winter by North
Carolina consumers. The Agricultural
Extension Service, the State Food
Conservation Commission and other
forces working for food production
and better agriculture in the state are
endeavoring to secure such an in
crease in the acreage of late potatoes
as will keep at home this year and
hereafter the several hundred thou
sand dollars that usually pay for i'm
ported "spuds," at the same time re-
heve the transportation systems to as
great an extent as possible, and re-
1eve also the food situation In the
North during the coming fall and
winter
Irish potatoes may be planted as late
as August 18th. Some planters have
succeeded even when the seeding was
later than that date. Where the seed
are sprouted before putting into the
ground, the small potatoes or cul1s
from the first crop may be used sue
cessfully. The second crop is not as
certain as the spring crop, but II the
SOL receives the proper preparation
ana the seasons are fair it is very
profitable. Fall Irish potatoes ara
more easily kept during the winter
slen they are harvested under favor
SOe conditions than are sweet pota-
toes.
Because of the demand for informa-
uOn regarding the growing OF second
crop potatoes and the desirability OF
increasing the acreage of this crop the
agricultural Extension Service has
Just issued circular which Is avail
"Ole TO those who are interested in the

THERE'S NO FUN LIKE WORK.

It has been observed that a boy
sent out to weed a garden develops
symptoms of heat prostration very
early in the forenoon. The same boy
can field, bat and run bases like a
f1end for hours at a stretch and have
strength enough left to go fishing for
cells in the evening. An eminent pSy-
biologist has discovered that it was
not all taking" The stimulation OF
the baseball game brings into play
certain physical and mental resources
which enormously increase the boys
powers Of endurance.
The lesson is obvious. At the farm
camp, reveille on the bugle, a spirited
march to the field and a carefully
schemed system Of competition will
accomplish for more than a sermon,
a sour look or a scolding. Even the
isolated home gardens Of a scattered
troop may be united in a system
which will develop team work.

Save Millions BY Fire Prevention.

Save Millions BY Fire Prevention.
Two million dollars, half the amoon%
OF the fire losses of the state last wear

methods, said Col. James r. Young
Insurance Commissioner Over s1OO,.

charge to give the plants a thorough
inspection to see If there is any un-
necessary material alb Jut the place
mat is likely to start a fire in order
that 1t may be removed. or to see if
there are any defects IN wiring or con-
struction that need attention.
Where towns or plants desire it the
commissioner will have a representa-.
i've OF the Insurance Department go
TO these towns and plants and go over
the property to see how best to pro-
tect it. If there is ANYTHING fayltv in
buildings it is dangerous, the commits
s1oner says, and should be corrected.
IN this connection he referred to the
fact that one of the greatest dangers
was from improper electrical insula-
ton. The electric iron being a danger
that should not be overlooked In
emphasizing the danger from i'm
proper insulation Colonel Young call
ed attention to the fact that recently
suit was instituted against a town
in the state on account of the death of
a boy who lost his life, it is alleged,
on account of improper installation of
electric lights.
In the campaign of the department
in lire prevention the commissioner

nected with the department an expert
fireman and f1re-fghter who is avail
able to tell the people of the state

Junior Training Camps For State.

State Superintendent of Public In
struction J. Y. Joyner has received
from chief of staff, Maj. C. E. Kill
bourn, of the southeastern department
headquarters, war department at
Charleston, official information that
the war department has authorized
the establishment of junior training
camps at educational institutions in
the states in this southeastern division
and asking that this information be
conveyed to the various educational
institutions in North Carolina that will
likely inaugurate such divisions OF
school work.
The information to Doctor Joyner
is that the requirements of the war
department are that each camp shall
be limited strictly to the use Of arms
and equipment in the hands of such
institutions as establish these, junior
training camps and that the authori-
ties of the institutions shall retain full
responsibility for the care and safe
keeping of such arms and equipment.
Further, the war department re-
ouires that the establishment Of such
junior training camps shall be In no
sense a commercial undertaking, al
though those who attend are to pay
all their expenses, the charges to be
so regulated that the department shall
not be a money making project. Ma
ior Kilbourn tells Doctor JOyner that
any institution in the state desiring
the fullest Information as to the pro-
posed training camps can get details
by addressing him at headquarters

Chicago, May 2S.-wheat: Still lower

to be taking cash wheat only as 1t is
offered and not trying to bid up for 1t.

precipitation over Sunday, with ample
moisture in winter wheat sections. So
long as present restrictions are in force
the only buying power can come from
shorts and this will be against any

Corn: Another big decline caused by
heavy local selling which started fur
Their liquidation of long corn. On the

rally. Shipping demand from the east
is moderate and local buyers are less
anxious for corn apparently, while
larger receipts are expected as the car
situation is better. Crop conditions
continue good. The market has had
big break and oversold conditions are
likely to occur.
oats: Oats sold off with corn but
there was considerable short covering
and the market rallied. Cash trade is
quiet but offerings are not heavy.
Liquidation has been heavy and in
spite of the fact that the crop outlook
is bearish, the market is likely to be-.
