PREPARE FOR FALL POTATOES.

1t is nearing time to get ready for
planting fall potatoes. The farmer
should therefore, begin early to get
the land broken and ready SO that
there will be no delay when the time
comes for planting. Waiting too
long to break the land might cause
one to miss good season. Keep the
land narrowed, and free from weeds,
md when the time comes to plant
there will be no undue loss of time.
By waiting too late to plow the land,
it might bake, and be too hard to get
in the proper condition. Break the
land as soon as possible, and keep
down the weeds and grass by using
the harrow often enough to preserve
dust mulch over the field.
Growing Frost Proof" Plants For
Setting The Spring Crop
In the South, plants for setting
The spring crop may be grown from
seed sown in the open ground during
late September and early October.
Seed planted at this time should be
sown in comparatively rich soil and
should be sown in shallow burrows
on the level, which enables soil pro-
lection of the plants from severe
freezes by drawing soil around them
on approach of severe weather; other
wise the stems may be injured. Seed
lings grown under these conditions
become well established before cold
weather, developing in what is SO
commonly called "frost proof" plants,
and may be transplanted as soon
as the weather and soil conditions
permit.

RECOMMENDS ESTABLISHING
STATE PACKING PLANTS

The governor of North Dakota and
the legislature are elected on a plat
form which provides for state homes,
flour mills, terminal elevators and
packing plants. IL the state carries
out the program, which it probably
will. it will give the first real opposi-
ton that the packing trust has ever
encountered. At the present time the
meat markets OF the country are sim
ply partial agents OF the packers. The
packers are not even considerate en-
,ough of the meat market man to limit
their sales to dealers, but their agents
take orders from every live consumer
and thus limit the scope OF the local
butcher. This is something that
should not be. There is no earthly
reason why the people Of a stock
growing section should have their ami
mails hauled on the railroads tc a
distant slaughter house and then haul
IT back again to be retailed from the
meat block. AS a-matter of fact there
is no much show for a butcher any
more, and in the meantime the people
are paying the. freight and fancy
profits to the mononolist .-Pierre Cap.
