Grow Fall Irish Potatoes.

Several million dollars have been
brought into the state this year bv
the fine crop Of Irish potatoes In east
ern North Carolina. Despite the
adaptabillty OF the state for the grow.
Ing OF potatoes, however, tens OF thou.
sands OF bushels have been imported
from the Eastern and Central Western
States every fall and winter by North
Carolina consumers. The Agricultural
Extension Service, this State Food
Conservation Commission and other
forces working for food production
and better agriculture In the state are
endeavoring TO secure such an In.
crease In the acreage OF late potatoes
as will keep at home this year and
hereafter the several hundred thou
sand dollars that usually pay for i'm.
ported "spuds,' at the same time re-
lieve the transportation systems to as
great an extent rs possible, and re-
lieve also the food situation In the
NOilH uuIlhb thc Soiuihb ioi ohN
winter.
Irish potatoes may be planted as late
as August 18th. Some planters have
succeeded even when the seeding was
later than that date. Where the seed
ara sprouted before putting into the
ground, the small potatoes or culls
from the first crop may be used sue
cessfully. The second crop is not as
certain as the spring crop, but IL the
soil receives the proper preparation
and the seasons are fair II ia very
profitable. Fall Irish potatoes are
more easily kept during the winter
when they are harvested under favor
able conditions than are sweet pota-
toes.
Because of the demand for informa.
ton regarding the growing Of second
crop potatoes and the desirability Of
increasing the acreage Of this crop the
Agricultural Extension Service has
Just issued circular which Is avail
able to those who are interested In the
crop. This circular is No. 40 and may
be secured without cost from the As-

as the government feels It is bound
by the declarations previously issued
at Salonka by Premier Venizelos, who
took with him to Athens all the re-
sponsibilities and commitments of
the temporary Saloniki government.
As belllgerent, Greece is expected
to lose no time In mobilizing her war
resources and joining effectively In
the common allied operations In the
Balkans.
The strength OF the Venizelos army

The scenes of The Woman God Forgot" are laid during the Spanish conquest of the Aztecs and Mir. deMile had erected an exact reproduction of the famous pyramid of Teocalli, surround ed by an entire Aztec city. This one set covers an area of two square miles and the pyramid is nearly 200 feet in height and of the most substantial construction, owing to the fact that over a thousand men battle up the stairways and inclines to the temple at the top.

STEWART RIVER COUNTRY BEING
 DEVELOPED

A. G. Crisfield, who is in Skagway awaiting the Jefferson, says the Stewart river country, 70 miles a9oYe Dawson, is a most promising field to the prospector. He him- se'i hss been there eight years, and after doing his bit for his coun- try, MT. Crisfield is going back. Between 75 and 100 men were working in the country this past summer and ali of them are doing well. The Klesco Mining company operted dredge during the sum- mer months, and took out consider able placer gold. The Silver King mine, which is working silver pro Heries, is doing well. Middlecoff is takInp out lot of placre gold.
 MT. Crisfield says the transpor- tation facilities make the mining difficult In the summer time a smsu mail boat makes the round trip about every ten days.
 The Stewart river country as 6 whole ic promising, and although thnle are not many big mines at the present time, MT Crisfield says the ground has hardly been touched as yet snI offers wonderful opportuni- tiea to the prospector.
