NEW VARIETIES OF POTATOES
Originate From Seed Found in BolIs

house or Cold Frame.

New varieties of potatoes are orig
mated from seed which is found in
the bolls produced ON the vines. The
seed which is light and fine should be
saved in the same manner as the seed
from tomatoes.
Cut open the bolls and squeeze out
the seeds into small vessel with MS
little pulp as possible. Add warm
water and allow the mess to ferment
for two days SO that the little seeds
will wash clear from the pulp. After
being washed the seeds should he
dried, in which condition they will
keep through the winter. Anyone who
tries to carry the seed boil through
the winter will likely lose all the
seeds.
Along in March prepare some fine,
rich light soil that will hold moisture.
Rotten cow manure several wears old
IS better than common soil. The seed
may be planted in dollhouse, cold
frame or in a box in the kitchen win
dow. 1t should be covered very slight
ly with soil and must be kept moist
by frequent watering or by covering
with piece of cloth until the seeds
begin to break ground.
The plants come up quickly and
should he transplanted and handled
like tomatoes. They will frequently
produce tubers the first year that will
weigh a pound. Each seed will pro-
duce distinct variety. Promising
new varieties must he grown for sew
eral years and tested in the fields

least two years before their true

ACID PHOSPHATE is USEFUL
Reinforce sarnyard manure to
Maintain Fertility.

Since phosphorus is carried off the
farm in relatively large amounts in
grain crops. in the hnEes of animals,
and in milk. sol specialists of the Ohio
station recommend the use of acid
phosphate rock to reinforce barnyard
manure. if the fertility of the soil is
to be maintained. Acid phosphate is
more generally recommended. because
under average conditions it is more eff.
factiye ard more economical than the
raw rock.

At certain seasons the market spe-

butter which is known as ''under-
grades" This inferior quality, if de-
velOped, is often due to the use of
cream of poor quality and, to some
extent, to faulty methods of manufac-
ture. The more common faults OBJ
served in the quality of this butter
were soft. leaky. open body; too much
or not enough salt; too high or too

Where Do You Stand2

Someone has divided mankind into
four classes-those who consistently
do less than is expected Of them;
those who do what is expected of them
but no more; those who do things
without having to be told. and finally,
those who have the magnetic power Of
inspiring others to do things.
All the failures in this world are
recruited from the first class. The
second class comprises those who
scrape along In some form of drudgery
or hackwork. Men Of the third class
are always in great demand in the fac
tory and in the office, but the fourth
class represents the highest rung In
the ladder of success.
In the world of industry the fourth
class is attained by the diligent few
who have caught the spirit of their
task and are able to impart it to the
men under them. They are the men
who, without being slave drivers. are
able to increase the output of an in
dustrial plant - Industrial ConserpG-
ton, N. Y.

CROPS TOP THE RECORD

The September crop report of
the Agricultural Department has
this about it that distinguishes it
from all the preceding monthly
reports coming from the same
source-practically all crops are
now either harvested or at har-
vest stage. The September esti-
mate is a good deal more than
guess. 1t is based upon twenty
thousand reports coming from
every nook and corner Of the
country, and these reports con-
Germ, with very few exceptions,
matured results. In a columniz-
ed comparison of food yields be-
tween 1917 and 1916 is to be not
ed that in seventeen scheduled
staple foods there are decreases
in only three food products and
increases in fourteen. There is
even an increase in the total
wheat yield of something over
28,000,O0O bushels. The three
commodities showing decreased
yields are rice, hay and apples.
The shortage in hay is counter
balanced by an increased corn
fodder yield and the apple de-
crease is offset by increased
yields of other fruits.
In the aggregated grain yield
there is an increase of more than
one billion of bushels, as compar-
ed with the grain yields of last
year. All the grains corn, oats,
rye, barley and buckWheat, as

Appointments will be made soon after.
Each Legislative District of Balti-
more City and each County of the
State, with the exception of Caroline,
and Somerset Counties, will be entitled
to one or more scholarships for the wear
1917-19lS, in addition to those which have
already been assigned. In the two coun-
ties mentioned above, all the available
scholarships have been awarded.
Under the provisions Of the Act OF AS
sembly, the County and City Scholar
ships in the Department of Engineer
ing are awarded only to deserving stud
ents whose financial circumstances are
such that they are unable to obtain an
education in Engineering unless free
tuition be granted to them. The scholar
ships entitle the holders to free tuition,
free use of text books, and exemption
from all regular fees. The expense Of
attendance for those who do not receive
scholarships is no greater than at any
other Maryland institutions.
Scholarships may be awarded to grad
yates of Loyola College, St. John
College, Washington College, Western
maryland College, Maryland Agricul-
sSural College, Mt. st. Mary's College,
Rock Hill College, and one scholarship
will be awarded AT large.
Applicants should address the Regis

Rye bread is preferred by many
people to wheat bread, and the
oaten loaf is by no means "a bad
substitute for the wheat loaf.
AS to corn bread, the majority
of people reared south of the
Mason Dixon line prefer it to
wheat bread when the 'pone" is
made in accord with the high-art
precepts. There is an enormous
increase in the potato yield.
Bunching the yams and the
sweet potatoes with the Irish
rootlets, there is an increase in
yield of nearly 200, 100000 BUSH

cost level must take a down slide.

OUR FIGHT

There is a tendency among our
people and the public press to-
speak of the contest IN which
this country is now engaged
with Germany as the war of the
Allies in which the United States
is simply engaged with the pur-
pose of helping them out.
This is wrong and should be
stopped, for it fails to inspire
our people with the spirit so
necessary to win the war, and it
should be stopped because it is
not a true statement of facts.
We are not engaged in this
terrible contest for the purpose
of assisting any nations as the
first or main object; we are en-
gaging in it because the future
and present safety of our gov
eminent demands our making
the fight.
This is our war and upon its
result must hang the future des-
tines of our nation, and we
should strain every nerve to win
it-not for our friends and allies
but because of ourselves.
If we had not engaged in this
war, a successful Germany would
have imperiled the independence
of every free nation Of the globe
and the United States would
have been the first one to suffer
from her despotism.
Think of US if we had not en-
gagged in this war, with no pre-
parations for defense or offense
at the mercy of a nation made
prouder and more despotic by its
victories over the nations OF
Europe. Would she overlook a
nation or country teeming with
resources and filled to overflow
ing with prosperity? The one
who thinks that has not very
keen insight into human nature
especially the nature of a nation
like unto Germany who has
taught her people that they were
the favored nation of the earth,
and as such had not only the
right to bond all others to her
will but that it was her duty and
mission to do so.
If German MiIitarism's con-
tinued existence is or was a men
ace to freedom, then it was and
is the duty of every race in
whose veins runs the love Of
liberty, to do her part towards
removing forever this menace to
Democratic forms Of govern
ment.
This is our war and this is our
fight, and we must win it, for
the sake of our children, so they
may enjoy the blessings of
liberty and freedom which our
ancestors bequeated to US and
our fathers. We must win or
shut up shop, for to fail would
mean a vassalage to the proud
Kaiser, and even death is far
preferable to such a condition.
Let the people understand the
war, just why we engaged in it,
and what it means to win or lose
the fight, and stop talking about
helping some other nation out. "
