POTATO RAISING
POTATO RAISING
PROBLEM SOLVED.
Read; It's Easy-Forty-TwO Bushels
From Plot 8 by 8 Feet-It's Been
Done.-The Method Is Ex-
planned.

Charles S. Caldwell, President of
the Corn Exchange National Bank, is
publishing to the world an entirely
new and astonishing discovery in po-
tato growing.
By this new method, which is pro-
nounced entirely practical by expert
gardeners and which has been thor
oughly tested by its originator, R. E.
Hendricks, of Kansas City, Mo-, it is
possible and easy to raise AZ bushels
of potatoes on a plot of ground eight
feet square. This is at the rate of
$4,000 bushels to the acre of surface
covered.
The basic principle of the new me-
thod is the fact that potato sprouts
will grow to great distances seeking
light and will crawl through cracks
and crevices in the effort.
Three years ago Mr.. Hendricks built
what he called a "potato pen," which
was nothing more nor less than a huge
potato hill the sides of which were
supported by loosely-constructed en-
closure, built after the fashion of an
old rail fence.
PLANTED IN THIN LAYERS.
Within this enclosure eight feet
square he planted his potatoes in thin
layers of dirt and manure, piling one
layer on another until the pile was
eight feet high. His pen soon became
a huge green mound and in due course
he rolled out 40 bushels of potatoes.
The second year he got 80 bushels in
the same pen, and last year the as
tonishing total of AZ bushels.
By this method of growing anybody
with a piece of land the size of a
flower bed can raise enough potatoes
for the family for the entire year and
the living problem is a long way to-
ward solution.
The method as described by Mr..
Hendricks is to build the pen eight
feet wide and any length desired.
Any kind of good, stout lumber may
be used. If light planks are used
they can be strengthened with cross
wires. One inch boards, six inches
wide and spaced two and one-half
inches apart, should be used for the
ends and sides.
Start the pen with a six-inch layer
The Pleasantville press. (Pleasantville, N.J.) 1912-1929, 1917-07-07

of good rich dirt. Then mark off the
plot a foot apart each way, leaving
six inches of space for dirt all around
between the outer row of potatoes and
the inside of the pen. Plant a potato
seed at every cross line or intersec-
ton of the plot. If the pen is eight
by six feet on the ground this would
give 48 hills to the layer of dirt. Then
put an inch or two of well-rotted ma
nure over the potatoes and sprinkle
we'll with water. Then lay on six
inches more of dirt, mark off as be-
fore, plant, and water again.
Repeat this operation with enough
layers to fill the pen to the top. To
keep the dirt from falling out of the
pen as the layers are placed, draw up
old straw or hay against the cracks.
MOIST TESTER.
AS the pen rises, place on the fourth
layer, about two feet above the
ground, a "moist tester" This is any
piece of timber about the size of your
arm, say a piece of AKA about three
feet long. placed so that it will pro-
trude from the pen about a foot. At
ter the potatoes have been planted
about three weeks, loosen the tester,
pull it out and run your hand in to
determine the moisture. By doing so
you will know how much water to use
on your pen. After the tester has
been once removed, this can be re-
peated once or twice a week. Watch
the tester and keep the dirt in proper
condition.
Locate the pen near a water supply
SO that it can be well watered during
dry weather. The top layer of dirt
should be sloped gently toward the
centre so that the ground will absorb
and not shed rain, but care should be
taken that mud be prevented from
forming on top and baking to a crust.
When the earth is dry the mound
should be sprinkled on the top and
sides.
The vines will grow to the top and
sides of the pen (the nearest way to
the light emerging through the
crevices and ~concealing the timbers
with a coat of green. When the po-
tatoes are matured the pen may be
taken down, the potatoes rolled out
of the thin covering of material, dirt
and manur saved and used again and
again.
1t is not too late, it is said, to start
a pen by this method, as they may be
started much later than possible un-
der open field conditions. Mr.. Hen
bricks cut two eyes to a good-size
piece of potato for seed.

Flags will be put up on the plot and also

This tract will be one of the largest

estimated that 500 acres of city property
never before cultivated are being used for
gardens in Saint Paul this year.

HOMES WANTED FOR
 HOMELESS CHILDREN
Green Forest. Arl

dIeeL EOIeSl, ATR.
 Dear Friend:-The Children's Aid Society of New York, will on Friday, August 3rd, 1917, bring to Green Forest a company of homeless children for the purpose of finding them homes.
 These children come from different orphanages and institutions, some of them in your own state, and have been well trained, and selected with care to fit the new home life which they are about to enter, and if any mistake be maybe in the choice of child, or if for any reason the child be not satisfactory, the Society vii remove 1t and bear the expense of its return
 If you apply for child you should be prepared to satisfy the Society that you will furnish the comforts of home, that you will treat the little one as a real member of your family by taking the place of father and mother to it as nearly as possible; that you will give the child the education and moral train ing which will fit it to become a re- spectacle and self supporting citizen.
 If you have never had a child in your home, you know but little of home in it's fullest sense, such as Nature and Providence intended. It is great re- sponsibility, it is true, to raise child properly, but greater pleasure, and the love and labor you bestow on them while small will likely be repaid you many times in later life when you need some one to lean upon, and you also will have the satisfaction of knowing that you have done your part of the worlds great work.
 The children can be seen on the above date at the Opera House at 2 o'clock p. m. We would be glad to have you come and see the children and hear the addresses. Admission free
 The following well known citizens have been selected as committee tc assist us in placing these children: Ray Anderson, Cashier of Farmers & Merchants Bank; H. S. Shibley, Assit. Cashier of First National Bank; Rev. c. H. Sherman, Pastor M. E. s. Church Dr. E. E. Poynor, s. s. Buell., and H. c. Naples, Postmaster.
 You can make application to any one of them and you will need their in dorsement Hoping that you will come and aid us, and that you will interest others, and we may find good homes for these dear little ones among you, we are P. c. Morgan, Agt.,
 Wheeler, Ark.
