r. F. Hendricks of Kansas City. Mo,
has come forth lately with the announce
ment that he raised forty-two bushels
OF potatoes on plot of ground eight
feet square by growing them in pens
lie has also made public the details of
his method. and officials of the Depart
nent of Agriculture say that his plans
possess a great deal of merit.
The achievement is an example of
gardening on an intensive scale, and
wonders may be accomplished by such
4 scale of plant culture with almost any
crop. But. III the light of last winter s
soaring prices of potatoes and the ma
tionwide campaign to speed up the food
production of the country. Mr.. Hen
bricks plan assumes a significance that
il could not command II world condi-
lions were normal.
TO begin with. the whole plan is
founded on simple principles. Nearly
every housewife knows that a potato
pile in cellar bin, for instance. will
send out shoots in the springtime
through every possible crack and crew
ice Sometimes these sprouts Will crawl
feet to reach the light. From this basic
fact Mr.. Hendricks conceived the idea
that II this pile were removed into the
open and given soil and moisture the
potatoes would grow and reproduce.
His potato pen is nothing more or less
than huge potato hill. with the sides
supported by loosely constructed in
closure built after the fashion of an
old rail fence.
In pen only eight by eight feet in size.
with the potatoes planted in thin layers
OF dirt and fertilizer until the mound was
eight feet high, yield OF forty bushels
was obtained. The second experiment
brought forth thirty-two bushels from
the same sized pen. The third expert
ment eclipsed the others by producing the
astonishing total of fortytwo bushels.
This new method of potato culture
solves the problem of an unfailing source
OF cheap food supply. The details of the
construction of the pen suggest plan by
which any one having access to a small
plot of ground can raise crop that will
supply an average family for a year.
Before going into the details OF Mr.
Hendricks plan. and to bring this
method of potato growing within the
reach OF all. another idea of similar
ture may be suggested. II is possible to
raise pota toes in a barrel and for many
people this plan may be more readily
adopted than that OF the eight-foot pen.
An ordinary sugar barrel which costs no
more than 81 is procured and holes an
inch in diameter are bored around It,

But by morning her mood changed.
The pathos of the situation had seized
upon her in her dreams. and before the
day was over she was to be seen, as
a prospective patient. in DIR. Zabriskie's
Office. She had slight complaint as
her excuse. and she made the most of 1t.

and gauge the wife. A mutual in

led very speedily to actual friendship.

one row of holes encircles the barrel at
