From day to day the for seed
ing can be cut from the potatoes as
they are being prepared for the table.
The cones should be spread out on
a piece of paper in a moderately cool
room (about SO degrees F.) and al
lowed to remain there until they
have cured; that is until the cut sur
face has become dry. A day or two
should be enough for this and they
should then be put in a shallow box
or tray and placed where is it quite
cool.
Three Inches Deep.
Any storage condition that will in
sure them against freezing on the
one hand and undue shriveling on
the other should prove satisfactory,
Sets prepared in this way should be
planted three inches deep and IL
inches apart in the row in moist well
prepared soil.
Another method is to simply cut
off the seed end of each potato as il
is used for food and store these seed
ends in the same manner as the
cones.
Ordinarily it is not considered q
good plan to plant small potatoes
but the fact remains that good crops
have been raised from such seed an6
with the present high prices small,
potatoes are certainly better than nc
seed at all and should most certainly
be used if better seed is not avail

TREASURE STATE FARM AND LIVESTOCK
Ways to Reduce the Number
of Potatoes Needed to Seed
Acreage Without Hurting Crop

Never before in the history of our
country have potatoes sold at the
prices now prevailing. The reason
for this is that there are very few
potatoes left in the country. AS a re-
suit seed potatoes are not only going
to be extremely high priced but are
going to be hard to get at any price.
This means that many farmers will
cut down on the acreage in potatoes
Just at a time when the welfare of
the nation calls for an increased
acreage in all crops. Anyway to re-
duce the amount of potatoes neces-
sary to seed a given acreage without
materially affecting the size or quail
ity of the crop is therefore to be
looked upon as the very best kind of
economy. There r several ways in
which this may be done.
Cut Out the eyes.
One of the most novel methods is
that of securing potato seed from the
potatoes now being used daily for
food. Cone shaped pieces of flesh,
weighing about one fifth of an
ounce, and each containing an eye,
are cut from the potato and the re-
mainder used for food. Blu this
method only about one-fourth of the
flesh of the tuber is used to provide
seed. Ordinarily about 900 pounds
of seed are used to the acre. By the
use of the above method CTS pounds
of potato flesh would be available for
table use that would under ordinary
conditions be put in the soil.
The plan does not call for all the

Preparing for Seeding.

Farmers of North and South Dako-
ia are dragging the ground in most
sections, preparing for seeding. In
the Red River valley the start will be
normal, and some South Dakota coun-
ties will start seeding a week earlier
than last year. In Minnesota work
will be delayed ten days to two weeks
on account of excessive snowfall and
wet fields.
In Montana seeding will be from
two weeks to a month later than
usual on account of the heavy snow
fal of the winter and the late spring
Winter wheat is reported from al
sections to be in fine condition.

We commend the effort that IS
being made to raise S2,Ooo IN
this county for the Young Mems
Christian Association fund to be
used in providing, recreation
rooms and in ministering in other
WAYS to the soldier boys. 1t IS
thought that before next July
the American army and navy
will in all probability include
2,5OO.OOO men. At least $40
should be devoted to the welfare
of each soldier or sailor. The Z.
M, C. A. is an agency through
which we can work with effect
iveness. 1t is thoroughly organ
lied in every part of the world.
This county is asked to con-
tribute about $4,000 for this no.
BILE cause. Will not our people
respond to the call? The COM
mittee in charge of the drive has
asked representative citizens in
each election district to assist.
It is earnestly hoped that from
500 to 5000 may be contributed
from each district. If this is not
done, this county will fall behind
other sections of the state. Our
enthusiasm should be unbounded
for this is a cause that appeals
to every home, and should stir
every generous impulse.

NEW DRAFT RULES

The new rules which are to be
mailed to the local exemption
boards next week will govern
all future drafts, and are prl-
marily intended to simplify and
expedite the process of military
selection hereafter. In effect,
the purpose is to establish sys-
tenn of classification that will
save the 10, 100000 men register
ed under the draft law a great
deal of unnecessary trouble, and
at the same time reduce the Ia
bors and perpiexities of the ex-
emption boards when the next
quota is called to the training
camps.
Under the new method each
registrant will receive a set OF
questions, called a QUESTIONABLE.
which he must answer and re-
turn to his local board. From
those answers the registrants
will be grouped in five classes,
liable for duty by classes, in a
clearly defined order of priority.
In this way, when the next
training call is made, only the
class liable to immediate service
will be brought before the
boards, and it is estimated that
probably IS per cent. OF the
men who would have been dis
charged or exempted under the
old plan will be automatically
eliminated.
It is easy to see how much
time and trouble will be saved
by this new arrangement, If
everybody concerned will make
a point of cooperating promptly
and patriotically. Everything is
explained as clearly a n d
thoroughly as possible in the
new instructions; but in order to
facilitate the work and to meet
possibility of misunderstanding
the President has made special
appeal to all citizens, and es-
pecially to lawyers and doctors.
to assist puzzled registrants in
the preparation of their answers.
If this is done, there can be no
excuse for delay or misconcep-
ton on the part of anyone.
Registrars should not hesitate
to call for this help from the
leading men in their vicinity.
Refusal to render it cheerfully
and gratuitously is not to be an
ticipated from any man who is
really a patriot. Such aid is a
very small "bit" to give to the
country.
This QUESTIONABLE classification
does not mean that there is to be
an immediate summons to the
camps under it. No apprehen-
sion should be felt on that score.
1t will probably be several months
before the next call is made. 1t
is simply designed to put every
man in the class to which he be-
longs.
