SAVING SEED POTATOES

The cost of seeding Irish potatoes can
be greatly reduced, the garden special
lists of the United States Department
Of Agriculture point out, if, instead of
using whole potato for planting, the
gardner will cut out from potatoes cone
shaped pieces of the potato. In this
way only from one fourth to one fifth
of the flesh of the potato will be needed
to provide seed and the remainder of
the potato can be cooked for table use
These cones range from ne-fifth to one
seventh of an ounce in weight, where as
under the usual methods, the sets range
from three fourths to ounces in weight
A gardener, under ordinary conditions,
will get best results by using Is to 18
bushels, or 700 to 300 pounds of potatoes
to the acre. This method of preparing
sets, therefore, should make available
for table use over 675 pounds of potato
flesh, which under ordinary condi ions
would be planted per acre.
To plant plot SO by 100 feet or ap-
proximately one ninth of an acre at the
same rate of Seeding would call for II
to 2 bushels of seed, planted in the ordi-
nary way. The method of using the
cones and eyes for seed cooking the re-
mainder of the flesh, therefore, becomes
worth while economy even when a
small area is to be planted.
Under this plan it is not necessary to
prepare the seed all at one time From
day to day the cones for seeding can be
cut from the potatoes as they are being
prepared for the table. The cuttings
then should be spread out on piece of
paper in moderately cool room (about
so degrees F. and allowed to remain
there until they have cured; that is un-
til the cup surface has become dry. In
a day or two they should be put in a
shallow box or tray and placed where
it is still cooler. Any storage condition
that will insure them against frost on
the one hand and undue shriveling on
the other should prove satisfactory.
The date of planting necessarily must
be governed by climate conditions. In
this section it should be from March Is
to March 25 for early potatoes. In at
tempting to produce as early crop as
possible, some risk must always be in
Cured Of the plants being injured by
late frosts. As a general proposition it
is best to-plant potatoes as soon as there
is little likelihood of killing frosts after
the plants are up and the ground is in
condition to work.
Plant the snail eye cuttings from II
to inches deep. depending upon the
character of the soil. the lighter the soil
the greater the depth of planting.
Larger sets may be planted 4 inches
deep.

Soldiers are the paramount inter-
est now and for various reasons. So
the papers are all printing stories a
bout them. There is now a canton
ment near Augusta filled with SOL
diers from Pennsylvania and also
near that city there are very ele-
CANT bungalows for rent. Recently
a modest private soldier was looking
at one of those houses which rents
for $500 a month and told the agent
he would like to have it for his pa
rents. The agent mentioned the
price and asked the soldier whose
salary is only $50 a month to give
some assurance of his ability to pay.
The agent was referred to the young
mans banker who reported him to
be worth two million dollars. So
an Augusta Chronicle Photographer
writes:
Speaking of well-to-do private sol
diers who buy automobiles when they
want to get to camp and who rent
$500 per month bungalows, here is
one that the Spartanburg IS. c.

HARRIS GAINING FAVOR.

Atlanta, Ca, Sept. 17th.-Atlan-
tians returning from Washington ex-
press the opinion that William j.
Harris, chairman of the Federal
Trade Commission, will have the sup
port of President Wilson if he should
decide to make the race for the I'M
tied States Senate to succeed Thomas
w. Hardwick, which many of his
friends are urging him to do. The
general impression among those who
have visited Washington is that Chair
man Harris is the most influential
Georgian whom this state has sent
to the National Capitol since the
days of Toombs.
On the wall in Chairman Harris
office hangs very handsome por-
trait of President Wilson, inscribed
with these words: "To my friend,
William j. Harris, with the grateful
regard of Woodrow Wilson"
Especially in recent weeks, in con-
nection with the governments eff
forts to protect the public against ex-
tortionate prices for coal, has Chair
man Harris been thrown in close con-
tact with the President, 1t was in
formation secured by the Federal
Trade Commission on which the Pres
ident based his prices for coal at the
mouth of the mine, and upon further
date secured by the Commission will
largely depend the scale of profits
which dealers will be allowed to
charge. Chairman Harris for weeks
has been advising the public to hold
off buying coal until the government
fixed coal prices, and in Atlanta a.
lone it is estimated that millions will
be saved by taking his advice.

POTASH A-PLENTY.

Atlanta, Ca, Sept. 17.--An end
of the so-called potash famine, which
has handicapped southern farmers
since the outbreak of the war, is seen
in the passage by the United States
Senate, and the expected passage by
the House, of bill providing for the
development of potash deposits on
government lands in the west.
Prior to the war, the United States
got its potash from Germany, whose
supply has been cut off. There is a
great quantity of potash on govern
ment lands in the west, notably at
Searles Lake, CAL, Is miles from the
Pacific Ocean, where railroad al
ready has been laid to haul it to the
waters edge. Experts report that
this potash can be condensed in vast
quantities, shipped through the Pana-
ma Canal to eastern ports and sold
with more profit for less than Ger
man potash. Senator Hoke Smith,
of Georgia, who aided in passing the
bill, believes the western potash will
end the shortage.

STATE MARKET BUREAU
READY TO HELP Yo1r

The State market bureau has
sight from 1000 to 1000 bushels :
seed wheat, as well as a good sunni
of oats and some Abruzzi rye and :.
now in position to tell farmers wbo,o
they can secure their seed for win
ter planting. Any others who have
seed for sale, should write the br
'reau, as there will be good demard
this fall.
Commissioner ]. J. Brown calls ~
tention to the fact that the time fon
planting fall wheat is rapidly an
preaching and farmers in every conn
ty should be getting their best ground
ready now. Two acres to the ulow
is the slogan, and nowhere sbouId
there be any less, but if possible al
ways more. Georgia is going to need
every bushel of wheat that can bo
raised this fall and the coming sprino
and it will be taken at very substan.
tial prices.

NATIONAL PROHIBITION.

Atlanta, Ca, Sept. 17.-Here is
national prohibition by amednment
to the Federal Constitution as pro-
posed in the bill which already has
passed the Senate and is pending in
the House.
"Section 1. The sale, manufac-
ture for sale, transportation for sale,
importation for sale, of Intoxicating
liquors for beverage purposes, in the
United States and all territory sub
ject to the jurisdiction thereof, and
the expectation thereof, are forever
prohibited.
"Section 2. The Congress or the
States shall have power independent.
ly or concurrently to enforce this ar.
ticle by all needful legislation"
If this bill is passed by the House
which is generally expected, and il
thirty six states ratify it within the
next six years, then the United States
of America will be dry nation fol
all time, for the Federal Constitu
ton itself will prohibit the manufac
ture, sale and importation of liquor
as above set fourth, and no single
state can legalize the liquor traffic.
Under the joint auspices of the
Anti-Saloon League of America anC
the Georgia Anti-Saloon League, o.
which James A. Christian is super
intendent, campaign is now being
conducted in this state for the rati
fication by the Georgia legislature o.
the amendment to the Federal Con
stitution as provided in the above
quoted bill which has passed the
Senate.
