tato Facts For the Amateur
Gardener

Let me suggest that everyone who
creates or cultivates a garden helps,
and helps greatly to solve the prob
lem of the feeding of the nations.
Let every man and every woman
assume the duty of careful, provident
use and expenditure as a public duty,
as dictate of patriotism which no
one can now expect ever to be ex-

success of the allies--of Democracy.
Hoes and shovels and seed. These

The amateur gardener of this
year is very different from the anna
teur of seasons past. His desire for
gardening that found outlet in scrag-
gly radish and lettuce beds has eX-
panded to a desire for something
more than this, and a careful study
OF garden books and a quest for
advice from those who know Is the
result. Perhaps no other vegetable
Will receive more consideration than
the potato In this countrywide en-
deavor OF the amateur gardener.
And there is much to learn about the
potato, which is among the best
paying vegetables though many
things must be considered for it's sue
cessful cultivation.

ford in their book, "The Potato
pertinent facts about this important
vegetable.
THE potato is successfully grown
In practically every country in the
temperate zone. Latitude and alti-
tude are synonymous as far as they
relate to potato conditions when
other requirements are the same.
Drainage is the most important re-
qu1site in a potato soil. 1t must
either present naturally or supplied
artificially. For the uniform. perfect
development of all parts of the pota-
to plant there must be a constant
supply of air and oxygen, moisture
and fertility.
"A very frequent question asked
by amateurs and others is, what is
the best potato?' The answer is that
there is no universally best potato,
but that certain varieties have proved
best for certain conditions. There
are hundreds of varieties of pota-
toes, a large number of them good
under certain conditions. This must
be determined by experiment and

test in the locality in question.
THE objects sought in cultiyating
the potato are: first, keeping the
soil in the seed bed loose, and re-
tanning moisture for the crop. and.
second, keeping down the growth OF
weeds, which, IL allowed to grow,
not only rob the potato plant of
moisture. but also of available fer
tility. When potatoes require mois-
ture they indicate 1t by the dark
green, almost black, color of the
leaves. When watered too heavily
they get too light green, almost yell
low. The characteristic healthy me-
dunn green of a potato plant in good

Edith Loring Fullerton in her
book, How to Make a Vegetable
Garden" also says to the potato
grower: "It is pretty well agreed
among American horticulturists,
that the best crop is obtained from
planting sections of the potato which
have three eyes. There should be
plenty of humus in either light or
clay soils and moisture is a prime re-
quisite, though too much will cause
both blight and rot. Potatoes must

A New Treatment Given Without the
Consent OF knowledge of the Drinker
Cleveland, O. - A woman who let's
a man drink is foolish. says Druggist
Brown, for no man who drinks even
n little bit is safe. A woman can
break the drink habit in a few weeks
for half what n man spends on LIQUOR

need never know she did it. For the
sake and safety of both, stop the

rum soaked throughs and through, do
not despair; he can be saved and it is
your duty to save him. Druggist
Brown knows the awful curse of
strong drink because he himself. has
been a victim. A loving sister res
cued him from the brink of drunk
ards grave and kept her secret ten
years, then she told him how she did
it. She saved him from the demon
