PRAIRIE FIRE OUT WITH
NO SERIOUS DANGER

After watching the fire at the
Fair farm northeast of town al
night it was declared officially out
this morning. A few scattering
spearks still glowed but no further
trouble is expected.
The total loss consisted of two
stacks of feed, one straw stack, a
feed rack in the corral and several
acres of alfalfa stubble.
1t is not known how the fire
started. 1t is thought however, to
have smoldered from a fire which
was set Thursday and to have been
blown into a dangerous blaze by the

Potatoes as Food

The general use of potatoes in the average family and the better customs prevailing in many homes in preparing the tubers for food are based on sound eco- nomlc and dietetic reasons. ac- cording to specialists of the Of flee of Home Economies of the United States Department of Az riculture. Studies of the prepa- ration and use of potatoes as food are reported in Department of Agriculture Bulletin No 468, recently issued.
 Potatoes are easy to cook in a variety of ways. From the point of view of dietetics, they furnish starch in one readily digestible form, contain mineral substances of importance to the body, and a fact less generally known tend to make the tissues and fluids of the body alkaline. so courteracting the tendency of

Corn Growing

Corn will not grow during cold weather as wheat and oats. Corn. planting time is, therefore, d lit tie later than the best time for sowing spring wheat or spring oats. However, according to Far mers' Bulletin 773, when seed of perfect vitality is used, it is re- markable how early in the spring corn can be planted and result in good stands and good yields. Seed of perfect vitality will often remain in cold or dry soils for several weeks and afterwards germinate and yield well. Irreg- ular stands are sometimes attri- buted to poor seed, when dry, poorly prepared spots are the cause. Fields are sometimes seen in which the seed germinated promptly in moist spots but did not germinate in dry spots until rains came.
 Where the seasons are long and moisture plentiful, it is GUS tomary to wait until the soil is warm before planting. In semi arid regions. however, corn should be planted early. With the soil iE proper condition it is generally advisable in semiarid regions, south as well as north, to plant corn before danger from frost is entirely past. Corn planted very early usually makes a slow, tough growtf. and a month after planting may be smaller and look less promising than that planted later The early planted corn ripens first, however, and uusally produces the larger or the better crop. Because of it's slow, tough growth corn planted very early is not so susceptible to frost and drought as corn planted later and growing more rapidly. In series of years the gain in mature corn secured from early planting will more than make up for any injury from spring frosts. Excellent corn crops have been produced from plantings frozen off or frozen back when the plants were from a few inches to a foot or more tall. Corn is not often entirely 1 killed by spring frosts. and if | some should be irjured the loss l is much jess serious than that 1 from summer drought or from fall frost
 Early planted corn derives more benefit from the spring moisture supply, becomes well rooted before summer droughts begin, and may even mature be fore these droughts become SC were.
 Where the growing season is very long and warm, plantings made at about 30-day intervals increase the chances of hitting the season right and raising some good corn.

hACupSs CSSS4 lNiis ouo ithC 1OOetS to create acid conditions. Since the body does it's work best when its condition is either neutral or slightly alkaline, potatoes, like most vegetables. perform an i'm portant function in the diet be sides furnishing energy produc- ing material. This scientific fact justities the custom that is pre-
 valent in many families of serv- ing a goodly supply of potatoes or other vegetables with each helping of meat.
 Potatoes, however, while a val uable addition to a mixed diet, alone are not suited to meet the needs of the body because of their poverty in proteins of fat. Of these latter important clements protein is furnished i'll meats, eggs, fish, milk, beans and similar foods, and fat in butter, bacon, table oils, and the fats and oils used in cookery.
 Greater care than commonly is exercised should be taken in peeling potatoes. Very often 20 per cent of the potato is pared away. This result not only in the waste of considerable potato but also in the loss of one of the most valuable portions of the tuber, since the soluble mineral salts are present in the material near the skin, which would be re. moved and thrown away. These salts can be preserved by more careful removal of the skin, as by shallow pairing CT rubbing, and also by boiling and baking the potatoes in their jacket.
 Pairing before boiling. however may be the most desirable meth cd of cooking potatoes which through an undue exposure to light may have acquired a bitter taste, 0" those which have been kept until late in the spring, since in this way more of the dis agreeable flavor is eliminated. Such potatoes may also be soaked before cooking.
 While these methods may be desirable with potatoes which have been exposed to light, they result in the loss of considerable food value without compensating advantages when applied to new or Well-matured potatoes. If such potatoes are boiled after pairing, they should be dropped into boil ing water instead of being placed on the stove in cold water. By the latter method there is twice the loss of protein, or tissue. clements, resulting from the former. The loss of matter is about the same by each method. There is no loss of starchy material in boiling un- less portions of tube break off. l
 Practically the only loss whe en potatoes are baked in their skins is of the water which escapes in steam. The more or less common custom of pricking holes in the skin of baked potatoes or break ing them is explained by the fact that unless the steam which is formed inside the skin is allowed to escape it will change back into water and produce sogginess
 Potatoes which have turned green and sprouting tubers have present considerable quantity of solanin, an acrid poisonous sub stance which, though not dan gerous in the quantities ordina rily met with, gives a disagreea
