1t is nothing unusual for men OF
prominence to endorse Tanlac, as
over twenty-five thousand endorse
ments have been given Tanlac with
in the past year alone. These en-
dorsements have come from people
representing practically every walk
of life, including Bankers, Lawyers,
Judges, Doctors, prominent Govern
ment, State and County officials,
prominent men of affairs, etc, but it
is a noteworthy fact that in this
particular instance two wellknown
bankers of the South have on the
same day voluntarily written an ex-
preston of their gratitude for publ
cation, telling what Tanlac has done
for them.
! In this connection one Of the best
known newspaper publishers of the
South recently said:
| Il know that there are at least a
thousand people in this city who
would be glad to endorse Tanlac,
and what is true of that city is true
of practically every other city of thu
south and west; in fact, Throughout
the entire country wherever thi!
medicine has been sold.
The fame and popularity of Tanlac
as everyone knows, has wept over tn
whole country like wildfire and i
now household word from coast t
coast.
Although placed on the market
little over two years ago seven mi
lion bottles have already been solo
and the demand is constantly il
creasing.

Rainfall in Hawaii.

The rainfall on the island Of Hawaii
varies greatly, ranging from the enor-
NOUS downpour Of 353 inches year
in the upper Walpio valley to 20 inches
q year on the northeast coast between
Hilo and Kohala. The Walpio surface
streams on the island are found along
the northeast coast between Hilo and
Kohala. The only river, according to
the United States geological survey,
fs the largest stream on the island,
and has been party developed for irri-
cation. At Kapoho, on the east point
of the island, warm water flows from
seams in the rocks. These warm
springs flow into a pool about 100
feet long, rs feet wide and 20 feet
deep. The pool is entirely surrounded
by rocks and its color varies in shade
from a beautiful blue to violet. Wala-
nele. or Green lake, is a body of fresh
water in the pit of an old crater near
Kapoho. This lake covers an area OF
about five acres and is fed by springs
below the surface. A pumping plant
takes water from this lake for domes
tic use and for irrigation.

INCREASING POTATO PROFITS
In view of the
mOhE present extraor-

BE PLANTED. a4o+oos folds

will probably be planted to this crop
this year where they were never grown
before.
Intensive methods make it possible
to grow crops yielding from 25O to 4OO
bushels per acre and to decrease the
cost of raising each bushel. The big
expense in potatoes growing comes in
the preparation of the land and the at.
tention given the crop throughout the
season. But it costs no more to pre-
pare ground, cultivate, and spray
3OO-bushel crop than 1t does a 15O-
bushel crop. Harvesting will cost
more, but the big overhead expenses
are practically the same. Obviously
the thing to do is to insure larger
yields by supplying an abundance OF
available plant food that will give the
crop good start and force it to early
maturity.
Preparing for Potatoes.
1t is best to avoid planting potatoes
on soil to which large quantities of
stable manure, lime or ashes have been
recently applied. Stable manure and
ashes supply plantfood constituents
which are used by the potato but both
manure and lime produce a condition
! in the soil which favorS the growth
| Of potato scab. When lime and manure
are to be used on ground planned fol
potatoes later, manage the rotation in
| such a way that this treatment will
follow rather than precede the potato
crop. The seed bed should be worked
down mellow by continued disking and
narrowing. If the ground is too COM
pact, the growing tubers find difficulty
in pushing out into the soil, and as a
consequence will be pressed out Of
shape.
| Organic Matter Needed.
| The plantfood Of the potato is most
proftably supplied by turning under
green manures, supplemented by fertil-
lzers. The potato takes up fairly
large amount of nitrogen, moderate
amount of phosphoric acid and large
supply of potash; hence, a fertilizer
supplying 3 to per cent ammonia,
to 8 per cent phosphoric acid and
to per cent potash is about right
for loan soils. On sandy soils use
more ammonia on clay use more phos-
phoric acid and less potash, and on
muck use 1 per cent of ammonia, 10
to 12 per cent phosphoric acid, and 8
to 10 per cent potash when the latter
can be obtained.
How to Apply Fertilizer.
At least One-half of the ammonia of
the complete fertilizer used should be
in quickly available form in order to
give the young potatoes an early, Wig
Orous start. The other half should be
In more slowly available form SO as to
furnish continuous supply as it is
, needed by the growing crop. The phos-
phoric acid should be readily avail
