fall, and the surplus may be stored
for winter consumption.
Small potatoes from the spring har
vest are usually used as seed for the
fall paintings. The seed potatoes
should be sprouted before planting
and planted whole, instead of being
cut in pieces, as for spring planting
The popular spring varieties, such as
the Red Triumph, Irish Cobbler and
White Star are commonly planted In
the fall.
Do not plant potatoes that are az
fected with the scab disease. X you

of this disease, write to the Exten'

Prepare ridges three to three ana
one-half feet in width for fall lrish
potatoes. No fertilizer will he required
bv rich soils. but when stable manure
IL used il must be we'll decomposed
and thoroughly mixed with the soil
during it's preparation.
The middle of August or little lat
er is a good time to plant potatoes
IN southern Louisiana. In the centrai
and northern parts Of the state plant
ings should be made q few days
earlier. In riantin& make trench
on tho center OF the ridge and drop

depth OF three to four inches: " dry
or sandy, cover a little deeper. Keen

In digging, the potatoes must De
carefully handled. Store them in a
cool, well ventilated place-not In
sacks, but preferably In shallow "slat

thinly on a dry floor. Some covering
will have to be provided for them IN
freezing weather.
II potato beetles appear, hand-pich

FILTHY HOG WALLOWS
SPREAD DISEASE

Louisiana club boys are encouraged
TO construct wooden or concrete wal
lows for their pigs and to keep them
in a reasonably clean condition. These
are made by digging a shallow hole
big enough for tho pigs 10 lie IN, us
Ing concrete for the sides and bottom
and plastering Il onto the earth. II is
a good plan also TO put in drain So
that the water may he readily chang
cd. The hogs thereby have access to
plenty OF good water during the hot
summer months, which Is essential TO
a thrifty condition. without having 20
use the muddy and filthy wallow holes
that are so common over the country
and which are often the means OF
spreading contagious diseases, espe-
cially cholera,
In addition to making hogs more
comfortable, these wallows can be used
70 rid them OF lice and heas. To do
this. cover the surface OF the water
with about half an inch Of crude oil
When the pigs go into the water the,

HOW ENGLAND SAVED.

II strong contrast 70 their neighbors,
the French across English channel, the
masses of the English people a few
wears AGO were proverbially a spend
thrift rather thnn saving race. But
the great war has brought change.
In the wear 1915 although purchasing
billions of dollars of war bonds the
small savings banks depositors in Eng
land increased their deposits over sixty
million dollars.
Il was patriotism that started this
great change in the people of the ma
ton. The English people started saw
ing their money because they saw that
II meant saving England. But thrift
and economy begot thrift and economy.
They economical and saved for their
own sake as well as for Englan7 : sake.
Not only did they save money but
economical in food, in fuel, in dress, in
Injuries More than one million Eng
lish workers were purchasers, out Of
their savings, in the second great war
loan Of Great Britain, and eight million
subscribed 70 their last war loan.
The uestion whether the civilian pop
ulation should economic and do with
ont certain things or the solaiers and
sailors be DENIED things necessary fer
their effectiveness and safety was an
swered in no uncertain or unpatrioSc
way bv the masses of the English PEG
pie. They lid their bit in financing
their country.
Neither in ability nor in patriotism
are the American people second to the
English or the French or the German
| or any other nation. The Liberty Lear
