GROW A SECOND CROW OF IRISH
POTATOES.

The fall or second crop of Irish po-
tatoes is one of the means by which
the production of one of the most
important food crops may be in
creased. For a number of years this
second crop of Irish potatoes has
been an unimportant item in the
food supply of North Carolina, but
with emergency times at hand, Mr..
w. N. Hutt, horticuiturist of North
Carolina experiment station, urges
upon the growers of the eastern sec
ton of the State the importance of
putting in an extra crop.
In Extension Circular No. 49, pre-
pared by K. G. till, superintendent
of the truck station at Willard, NC,
careful instruction in the growing of
this crop is given. The problem of
seed is one of the most serious Ques-
tons confronting the average grower
but it has been found that when
seed from the first crop are spread
out on the floor in some sheltered
place where they are exposed to
strong light but not to direct sun
light, and are turned at frequent in
tervals until they are greened or
sprouted, they are then ready to
plant. This method insures against
injury from rot caused by moisture
and allows of the culling out of
stock showing signs of disease, In
this case a good stand is secured.
Tests have shown that the best
time to plant the second cropis from
the middle of July to the middle of
August. In a favorable fall they
might be set as late as September
1st, but there is always danger of
late paintings being caught by frost
before maturing. Additional infor-
nation in regard to the secoad crop
of potatoes and copies of the circu-
lar 40 may be had on application to

"YOU-TOTE" PROGRAM IS GROW
ING IN RICHMOND.

Richmond, Va, July 16.-The Re-
tail Merchants Association of Rich
mond, backed by non members, in
devising an economy plan for the
war period, have decided to
make no deliveries of purchases Of
less than so cents Ia value after
July %. 1t was also agreed to make
hut two deliveries a day of any pur
chases. The Retail Grocers' Associa-
tion has backed the plan. The mer-
chants contend that fewer deliveries
will help lower the cost of living and
many articles will be sold cheaper.
Practically two deliveries daily will
be made by some of the grocers and
other merchants. The you tote
slogan has been adopted by many
erocers who sell at cut rate prices.

who worked untiringly at it, adjust

This is one of the large number
of flag poles Mr.. Carraway has pre-

Manager Mcintyre of the Rose The,

asking for damages for failure of the
lights to burn Saturday night and

Its a nuisance and we here SO de-
clare nd it's against the lava

The people are boiling mad over
the poor lighting system and are
heartily in favor of municipal own
ership. They have patiently borne
the ''aff1iction" for the past 'sEeen
months with big loss to many of
them, to say nothing of the annoy
ance and are in no humor for fur
ther delay. If we wait until after
the summer months when storlus
do not come perhaps we will forget
it until next year when the sa" e
old trouble will bob up again. There s
onlv one way out of it and that is to
have a municipal lighting plant.

having died within about eight hours
after eating. MIR. Carpenters mother
and baby were at the, point of death
tor many hours but may recover.
Mr.. Carpenter, wife and three other
children were also in serious con
dition. 1t seems that he had been
gathering a great many cucumbers
and that the ones they had for sup
per had slightly withered or decayed,
or at least had taken poison while
In the cellar. They are certain that
the trouble was from cucumbers for
the reason that all who ate them
were poisoned and those eating least
were least serious, and it was re-
membered that two children ate
none at ali and were not affected.
