GIANT OCEAN NET SUGGESTED AS WAY
 ID CATCH U-BOATS
All Kinds of Extraordinary Submarine Preventatives Are Planned by Minds
 of Inventive Turn

Rome, August -(Correspondence of the Associated Press )-Numerous extra ordinary inventions to undo the subma- rine have been submitted to the minister of marine of Italy, and to the various naval attaches here. particularly that of the United States One of these inven- tions modestly involves the damming up of the submarines and forcing them into shallow shore waters where they may be caught like fish. This invention calls for an immense steel net 30 or 70 miles long and 70 feet deep.
 Another original plan was submitted to the United States naval attache providing for the building of an unsuitable ship made of solid wood. The inventor sus- gested that it be lowed by another steam ship but he didn't explain how the other ship would escape Nor did he explain how solid wood ship could carry freight and passengers.
 There seems to be no means of discour- aging the brilliant minds of the fresh water sailors and land engineers which evolve these schemes AS matter of duty and precaution, all corners have their schemes examined. but when in- formed that they are lat present un- adapted to the needs of the navy" they go on to the next naval OIIlCe, generally winding up at that of the United States. The United States is a country that knows a bright plan when presented and has the money and energy to develop it. they argue.
 One plan involved the drying up of the Mediterranean by allowing it's waters to slip into the Sahara desert for few days until the enemy submarines were all captured, when the water would again be turned back to its original place. This plan is not particularly original, it being an imitation of the great engineering project for watering the Sahara desert
 One day two of tese inventors met in naval office One was busy explaining how to protect dreaAnaughts by an im- mense steel net, the net having on it's edge a fringe of floating bombs which when they came into contact with the submarines projectile would create q counter explosion and blow it up.
 Tt won't do,' explained the naval off cer. For one thing, your fringe would be sucked down and get entangled in the ships propeller"
 "I can overcome that objection" cried the other inventor. T have invented ship that runs without propeler''

A ton of potatoes, packed in 40 pack ages, was received by Fl. J. Tipton, in the mail, recently, at Othello, Wash. The shipment came from Marengo and the total postage was $2160 The con- signor of the potatoes is postmaster at Marengo. The office being in the third class the postmaster receives his conn pensation from the cancellation of postage, and when he had cancelled the stamps their value reverted to his sal- ary which enabled him to deliver the produce at the destination without cost to himself

Farmers Too Careless in Sc
Letting Varieties of
Profitable Crops.

Potatoes are queer crop to raise.
One year they will be low in price, so
low that they are hardly worth har-
vcsting. and then another season their
worth will amount to high figures. The
present year is an example of the
latter. for at the date of this writing
potatoes are selling at near $500 per
cwt. In most parts OF Montana. Now
these prices will not hold. but taking
series Of years and striking an aver
age price. one readily finds that po-
tatoes. year in and year out are a pay
ing crop. The climate In most parts of
Montana is admirably adapted to po-
tato culture and If reasonable care Is
used both in planting the crop and in
the selection OF seed, there is little
danger from crop failures.
There Is one thing that many Mon
tana potato growers overlook. They do
not cater to the demands Of the mar
ket. To make a success of any form of
farm production the farmer must do
this. The stockman breeds the sort of
cattle. horses. sheep, or hogs that the
market demands the seed grower
raises the seed that commands the best
sale, the apple grower caters to his
market, and so must the potato grower.
Red potatoes are generally accepted,
probably because these arc quite gen.
orally grown as early potatoes. These
carly potatoes must be of fair size and
free from all disease. Potatoes of tho
Early Ohio variety, from well selected
seed and carefully cultivated. will meet
the market requirements for early 30
tatocs, and at the same time produce
good yields.
With the late market n different
condition exists. This market will gen
orally pay a premium for good white
potatoes and certain local markets in
the state prefer stated varieties OF
types. Potatoes for the late market
must be absolutely free from disease
This can lergcly be controlled by
walton. The stock offered for the mar
ket should be worked over a two inch
screen in the case of the round va
rieties and over an inch and three
quarters screen for the long types like
the Burbank. Late potatoes must al
ways be of good cooking quality. but
with dry land potatoes this is almost
universally the case. Over irrigation
at times ruin the irrigated crops. The
Russet Burbank. Rural and Green
Mountain are among tho most popular
and successful varieties for Montana
The first named is particularly free
from disease and does well on ir-
rigated land. The Green Mountain Is
one of the best dry land potatoes.

0umbe Soil.
Question: What can do to Improve
gumbo soil? Most of the land has .,,ic
stem and June grass growing upon II,
but when it is plowed a shower causes
it to bake. w. q,
F. d. NJ, Devon.
Answer: It Is not stated whether or
not the land is irrigated. Such land
as you describe Is hard to make sue
ccssful under dry land conditions. The
soil probably contains some black al
kali which causes it to run together
and bake after q rain. It is very diff
cult for water to penetrate such
ground and 1t does not readily give up
its supply for the use OF CROP If in
addition to this hard surface soil you
have a very close tcAturcd subsoii. 1t
would be very difficult to make it pro-
ductive.
II the land Is below the ditch 1t
would pay YOU to stay with it. A heavy
coating of manure will loosen up tho
ground so that a crop of rye can be
started. Sweet clover can also be used
to advantage after the manure and
once 1t is started the roots will prob
ably let the water down into the SUBJ
soil. Sweet clover would also add vegc-
table matter to the soil from the roots
which die every two years. After q
couple of years OF such treatment the

SET MlBAT0S EARLY CHOOSE RIGHT POTATOES
First Part Of March Is Best
Time for Matching Chicks
in This State.

If it is intended to set the incubator
early, SO as to have it hatch in tho
fore part of March, it is wise to be-
gin to plan for it right now. II a ma
chine is to be used the first thing is
to inquire as the the grade Of oil kept
at the nearest store. If the highest
grade Of oil is not available, have it
ordered at once. In nearly every town
at least one dealer Is willing to order
barrel or two of the highest grade
oil for the incubator users. who will
find 1t profitable at twice the price of
the ordinary article. Such oil will give
steady, white light and will not
smoke or smell and will not char the
wick appreciably in one day. 1t also Is
much more dependable for heat. Often
the difficulty in keeping the heat up
during a spell of cold weather is d.
rectly due to poor oil.
The lamps should have been emptied
and cleaned and the burners boiled in
soda water until they were bright when
the machine was put away last year.
II this was not done 1t should be at
tended to a week before 1t is intended
to use the machine. The machine it :
self should have been cleaned, fumi j.
gated and disinfccted. the trays scrub
bed and summed and everything left in
readiness for use When everything Is
ready it is only necessary to run the
machine for a couple OF days to attain
even temperature and be ready to set
the eggs. If a cold snap intcrvenes it is
often wiser to defer the saving of eggs
for Matching until little later. unless
someone has time to gather tho eggs
many times a day and thus keep them
from getting chilled. Once gathered
they should be kept in a place where
there Is no danger Of chilling, fol-
while chilled eggs may hatch, the
chicks are almost always weak and
thus there Is nothing gained by hatch
ing them. Strong, husky chirks are the
only ones which will make a rapid
growth, and that is what is wanted
with spring chicks. 1t Is we'll to re-
member that the breeding birds cannot
get out much at this time of the veal
and that meat food and green stuff
will materially assist in the fertility
OF the eggs.
If hens are to be used for Matching
1t is much better to let them walt q
week before setting Thorn than to give
them the eggs when the weather is
very cold. II extreme weather comes
on while the hatch Is In progress it is
best to move the hen to warmer place
either down cellar. or in the stable OF
any place where there is ample
warmth. A cloth wrapped around the
setting box at night will serve to kccr
the heat in and make it warmer,
