INCREASE IN POTATO YIELD
BY r. Il Bennett, Field Horticul-
turist.


One hundred fifty sacks of po-
tatoes grown on an acre are worth as
much to the owner as two hundred |
sacks on two acres. The cost OF |
OF growing an acre of potatoes is the
same except for picking, sacks and t
hauling to market, whether the acre
yields one hundred sacks or two |
hundred sacks. Frequently the low
er yield brings gross return which |
is not more than enough to pay the
cost of production. 1t is the high |
yielding field---the excess yield over
the average for the State---that /
makes profit to the grower.
Fields Contain Good Plants
The aveage field of potatoes in
Idaho--- yes, the best field of pota-
toes in Idaho---is made up OF high |
yielding plants, low yielding plants
and those that are between the two
eXtemes. OF the many causes of |
high, or low yields in the potato field |
none is so potent as that of good or
bad seed. The parent seed tuber
may be strong. vigorous healthy with
the power of producing a high yield
| ing plant, or it may be inherently
weak. diseased---of low vitality.
Right now any casual observer can
pick out all these different types of
plants in any, potato field in Idaho.
We have recently been in many po-
tato fields in the State---some good,
Isome bad. and many Indifferent, and
have seen in nearly all these fields
plenty of plants that. had the whole
field been like them, the yield wouski
be several times greater than it will
be as the case now stands. The diff
ldepend on the relative percentage of
the good to the poor plants.
Save Potatoes from High Yielding
/ Plants.
| The surest and cheapes way TO
secure high yields per acre is to dis
icard---not plant potatoes from the
Ipoor plants. Now, before frost
comes, is the only time in the year
when we can eliminate the plants
that are robbing us of our profits.
Do it by picking out the good one
for next years planting The good.
thigh yielding plants are easy TO find
---evey grower knows them at a
glance. They are not the big, rank,
green vines that are so prominent
in the field. Those are the poorest
yielders of all. The best seed po-
Itatoes, from the standpoint of type
of tuber. number in the hill and nm
liformity in size, will usually he
found on these medium-sized plants
or hills that consist of three or four
clean. healthy separate stems, that
are typical to the variety. 1t is SAT-
est to do the work of selecting now
as soon as possible. II the tubers are
not sufficiently mature TO dig, mark
the plants with peg so that they
can be found after frost has de-
lstroyed the vines.
Will Ii Pay?

BANDITS
FLEEING


Ell PASO, Tex, Jan. 6.-That
General Murguia has admins
tered severe defeat to the vii
listas near Jiminez was the claim
made in an announcement by the
Mexican consulate here today.
A bulletin issued by the Car
rama officials claims that Villa
and Salazer are fleeing in an au-
tomobile while the bandit leaders
forces have been scattered in
flight.
The bulletin declares the viii
lista dead, wounded and captured
number 1900, while the losses
sustained by the government
forces were placed at 100.
Reports from Carranzista
sources assert that Murguia drove
the Villistas back five miles dur
ing the fighting of the past three
days below Chihuahua City, u.s.
mig machine guns and artillery
against the bandit forces.
Reports obtained by United
States department agents here,
however, place the battle nearer
to Chihuahua City and assert that
the result was no Carranza vic
tory. but that Villa is steadily
forging his way northward.

BELL ANSWERS
THE OBJECTIONS

Appearing before two immense
audiences at the Tacoma theater
Friday afternoon and evening
Major Gen. ]. Franklin Bell, Sec
ond highest officer in the United
States army, frankly answered
all criticism that has been used
in opposition to the establish

county.
The army officer had attended
a meeting of socialist labor repre-
sentatives the previous evening
to hear their criticisms.
Regular soldiers of the U. S.
army are never called upon to
Quell strikes, unless the governor
of a state considers the situation
beyond control of his militia, and
petitions the president for federal
aid, said Bell.
