LETTER RECEIVED FROM GER
MANY TELLS OF CONDITIONS

Jack Modrell is in receipt of a let
ter from an old friend who has just
returned from visit to his old home
in Germany, and writes Of conditions
there as he found them, says the FIJI
er Journal. Among other things he
says;
Il have been back to the old home
in Germany to visit my brother as
he is very old and can't stay on this
world much longer. But l tell you,
Jack, never want to see that place
again. 1t is terrible, and one can {
get enough to eat even in high class
hotels. You are limited to just SO
much TO eat and that is very little
tell you. 1t is awful to see the women
and children lined I'D waiting for a
little piece of bread what any one in
America wouldn't feed their dog. II is
hard for me to leave my brother
there, but he Is not in bad standing
and didn't want to come home with
you, Jack, it is something horrible
in that place now, the old home is
not home any more. am on my way
home but won't be there before three
weeks as am going by Saltwater
Oklahoma, first. Well, Jack ! could
write for a week and not tell you
half what | saw on my trip, but is
too bad to. From your old friend.

TIME TO ARRANGE POTATO CROP
BY USING CONES WITH EYES
THREE-FoURTHs OF FLESH
CAN Be USED FOR COOKING.

The cost of seeding Irish potatoes
can be greatly reduced. the garden
specialists of the United States de,
partment Of agriculture point out, IL.
instead OF using a whole potato for
planting. the gardener win cut out
from potatoes cone-shaped pieces OF
flesh, each containing an eye of the
potato. In this way from one-fourth
TO one-iifth OF the flesh OF the potato
will be needed to provide seed and
the remainder OF the potato can be
cooked for table use. These cones
range from one-ffth 10 one-seyenth OF
an ounce iE weight. whereas, under
the usual methods. fhe sets range
from three-fourths 20 2 ounces In
weight. A gardener, under ordinary
conditions, win set best results by
using Is to IL bushels. or 900 70 i.0s0
pounds OF potatoes 10 the acre. This
method OF preparing sets. therefore,
should make available for table use
over 675 pounds of potato flesh,
which, under ordinary conditions,
would be planted per acre.
To plant plot 30 by 100 feet, or
approximately one-ninth Of an acre,
at the same rate Of seeding, would
call for 2-3 to bushels OF seed,
planted In the ordinary way. The
method of using the cones and eyes
for seed and cookisg the remainder
OF the flesh, therefore. becomes a
worthwhile economy even when a
small area Is TO be planted.
Under this plan Il is not necessary
to prepare the seed all at one time
From day TO day the cones for seed
ing can be cut from the potatoes AZ
they are being prepared for LIe table
The cuttings then should be spread
out on a piece OF paper in a moder
ately cool room (about so degrees
F.) and allowed 90 remain there un
til they have cured; that is.. until
the cut surface has become dry. A
day or two should suffice for this
and potatoes then should be put In
shallow box OF tray and placed
where II Is still cooler. Any storage
condition that will insure them
against frost on the one hand and
shriveling on the other should prove
satisfactory.

ECONOMY IN USE or sEED IN

would advise planting in rows
three feet apart and Is inches be-
tween hills. This method requires
10000 pieces Of cut seed to the acre.
Potatoes not larger than four to the
pound should be used for seed and
each potato should be cut in four
pieces. making seed for 1e hills from
every pound Of seed. 625 pounds Of
seed TO the acre. Smaller seed, II
selected from the same field, may
be used without danger Of loss in
yield and grade of crop, thus making
the requirement not to exceed 400
pounds TO the acre. The only advan-
tage in planting large pieces Of seed
is gained from the excess Of moisture
in the larger piece. This moisture
requirement can be supplied by irri-
cation, preferably before planting.
Potato seed should not be cut and
dried before planting. Withered seed
planted in dry soil will never make
a good stand and strong plant growth
Dried seed planted in dry ground will
never produce satisfactory crop.

toes should be kept moist through

The soil of the potato field should
be kept moist from the time the seed
is planted till the tubers have attain
ed the size desired. Suspension Of
growth from drought can never be re-
yived with good results in form or
quality. This natural condition OF the
development OF good potatoes re-
flutes the claim that dryland potatoes
are superior to irrigated potatoes.
The perfect potato can be grown
when the exact requirement Of water

yelopment II Is a scientific fact that
dependable perfection Of quality can
be attained by scientific irrigation,

A very important strike OF lead-aIi

made In the old Yellow Jacket mine.
50 miles west from Salmon. TA.sl
mine was discovered and worked
quite extensively 30 years Rgo. The
proceeds Of the mill and the sale

OF the Steen fortune from which
banks and other important business
enterprises have been built up.
The mine was developed By the
most perfect working system in Ida.

practical and the great prospect went
the common way that results from
tender-foot methods. The great ore

dollars was expended In the old plant
and miles Of tunnel. The faul.ed vein
was never encountered In the deep

GASOLINE FROM GAS.

Statistics just completed under the
supervision of John D. Northrop, OF
the United States Geological Survey
Department of the Interior, show
that the year 1916 was one of marked
expansion in the natural-gas gasoline
industry in the United States.
The quantity of raw gasoline eX
tracted from natural gas, including
that produced by the compression and
absorption methods, as well as that
obtained by the use of vacuum pumps
and recovered as drips from gas,
transmission lines, and sold in that
year was 104,212,809 gallons, a gain
of 38,848,144 gallons. or SO per cent
over the output in 1915. The guam,
tity of commercial gasoline repre-.
sented by this output of raw casing
head product, though not susceptible
of actual determination, was probably
more than 200,000,O00 gallons.
The average price received in 1916
for the unblended product at the
sources of production was IA cents a
gallon and the market value OF the
entire output'was $14,4OS,2O1, a gain
of 6 cents in average unit price and
of $9,257,37S, or $50 per cent in total
value, compared with 1915.
The volume of natural gas from
which this quantity of gasoline was
recovered is estimated at more than
20S,800, 100000 cubic feet. the aver
age recovery of gasoline per thous-
and cubic feet by all methods being
about half gallon.
The number Of plants for extracting
gasolinH from natural gas Increased
from 4ta at the beginning OF 1916 to
5g4 Atqthe end Of the year. gain of
43 per cent. whereas the combined
daily capacity of all plants Increased
from 232,336 to 484,448 gallons. or
about los pen cent.
