The Potato Outlook.

From present indications there will
be an immense crop Of potatoes all
over the country this year. Owing to
lack Of shipping facilities there will
be no large export trade. Prices will
undoubtedly be low, especially if the
tubers are rushed to- market as soon
as harvested. It would be a wise pre-
:cautionary measure for the farmer
who has any considerable acreage in
potatoes to make arrangements to
store a part of his crop on his own
farm-that is provided prices are not
satisfactory in the fall. In any event
it would be good policy to hold back a
part of the crop. Conditions may
change between now and the first Of
October, but at present the tendency
is toward low prices for potatoes this
fall.

GOSPEL Services for Militia.

On Wednesday evening, July IS, a
gospel service was held at the Arm
ory for the boys of Company G.. A
good many friends were present to
show their interest in the boys and
their appreciation of their service. DR..
w. B. Riley Of Minneapolis was the
speaker, and delivered an able, earnest
address based on the prophesies of the
24th chapter Of Matthew. The per-
sonality of the man, his knowledge of
the bible, and his implicit faith in it's
teachings made the truths he spoke
doubly impressive.
The reverent attention of the boys
showed not only their appreciation OF
the speaker, but that they possessed
qualifications of good soldiers.
A vocal solo by Miss Murray of Min.
neapolis and violin solo by Irene
Umbehocker were also appreciated.
At the close of the services Rev
Peatfeld spoke a few words Of en-
couragement to the boys, and, in be-
half of the Woman's Christian Tenn
perance Union, presented each Of then
with a copy of the New Testament.

Will Regret Their Leaving.

Owing to the precarious condition OF
his health Mr.. J. J. Skahen was
obliged to dispose of his business in
terests some time ago, and now he
has also sold his beautiful home and
furniture, as, on the advice of his
physician, he must spend the winter
in warmer climate. Mr.. Skahen and
family came here in 1896. He en-
engaged in the private banking bust
ness, in connection with his brother,
the late P. E. Skahen, of Minneapolis.
John j. was the active resident part
ner and manager and the bank pros
pered. About dozen years ago the
private bank was converted into a
state bank-Princeton State Bank
and was housed in handsome and
convenient new structure. By square
dealing, never failing courtesy and
strict attention to details Mr.. Skahen
made the bank the solid financial in
stitution that it is today. Mr.. Skahen
also built a splendid home in the south
end Of the village. For IL years he
was member Of the Princeton school
board.
Mr.. Skahen is a progressive, public.
spirited man and stood always ready
and willing to do more than his share
whenever called upon. In his estima
BILE wife he has had an able assistant
and wise counselor. Princeton viii

District Exemption Boards.

Minnesota is divided into four dis
tricts for exemption purposes. In
every county there is local exemp-

with the action of the local board, as
we understand it, an appeal can be

Laos county. we believe, is assigned
to the third district.
The district boards are composed OF
we'll known men and are as follows:

Claude Briggs Writes.

The Union is in receipt of very
interesting letter from Claude Briggs,
who is now at the navy training camp
at Portsmouth, N. H., from which the
following excerpts are taken: -
''At this very serious time Uncle
Sans first line of defense, the navy,
is whipping into shape with top speed.
This is plainly evident even to one
who has been in the service only three
weeks. In that time I have been
transferred from the Newport to the
Portsmouth station, and expect an
other transfer within the next two
weeks which will take me to Phlla-
delphia, Norfolk or aboard some ship.
Fortunately or unfortunately for the
navy recruit, the long months Of tire
some drilling of peace times is done
away with. Among the thousands one
sees there is not man who does not
welcome action.
'Three of US joined the navy to-
gether at Duluth, and are still to-
gether. We left for the east on June
Fl. We arrived in New York city on
the evening of the 10Th, and on the
following evening left by boat for
Newport, R. l., with two or three hum
dred more recruits.
"Upon our arrival at this important
naval station we were Immediately
fitted out with navy clothes and start
ed upon our course of training. We
were taught the manual of arms, and
rounded into such shape that we were
able to take part in great Fourth OF
July parade, which included ove1
; 10000 seamen.

ly the manual of arms, discipline ane

GARDEN WORKING NOTES
BY E. VAN RENTHUYsEN.

Propagate rubber plants this month.
Pack a handful or two of moss around
the stem and keep it well soaked. In
a short time roots will appear. Saw
a flower pot in half and bind the
plants or roofing portion of the stem.
Fill with a very light soil with plenty
of sand and keep thoroughly watered.
During the winter the roots will take
good hold and in the spring the stem
may be cut off level with the bottom
of the pot.
The outdoor carnations may be
potted up this month.
Cuttings from geraniums may be
made early in September in most eli
mates.
Watch the tender greenhouse plants
that are in the open and take them up
before the last days of summer are
passed.
Have the pots ready for the bulbs
which must be taken up soon.
Sow mignonettes seeds in pots or
boxes for the window garden. Water
frequently but not too much.
|, The dahlias, gladioli and other rank
growing plants are apt to be blown
down by the strong winds Of fall.
Stake them up.
Unless the chrysanthemum have
been shaded during the hot months
they will not come up to expectations
this fall.
Drench the ground around the tea
roses but do not spray the bush.
Roses VI all kinds should be thor
oughly manured with well rotted COW
manure and mulched with lawn cut
tings and leaves.
Liquid manure should be applied on
ly when the ground is moist enough
to absorb it.
1t is fatal to some plants to fer
tilize them with rich manures when
the ground is dry.
Never allow roses to remain on the
bush until the petals begin to fall.
All plants that are intended for win
ter boomers should have the buds
pinched off now.
Pick the pansies and nasturtiums
every day if you want to have plenty
of bloom.
The best way to kill weeds now Is
to pull them up by hand.
The red bug and other enemies OF
the rose if not killed off last month
should be effectually removed now.
The Colorado statesman., 1917-09-15
MORE COUNTY AGENTS
Cooperation Extension Work to
Be Expanded.
Technical Training In Agriculture and
Home Economics Feature Of
the Service.


Plans have been made to expand i'm
mediately the cooperative extension
work of the United States department
of agriculture and the state agricul-
ture colleges, by large increase in the
number of county agricultural agents
and home demonstration agents. Wom-
en- agents will be placed for the first
time in the larger towns and cities.
More or less technical training in agri-
culture and home economics will be
required in this service. The appoint
ments are to be made on the recon-
mendation of the director of extension
work at the state college. Approx
mately 1,400 men agents and 500 wom-
en- agents are at present employed.
The plans formulated contemplate the
extension of the men county agent
work to all the rural counties of the
Union in which there is q need for the
work and the placing of an additional
agent in some of the larger counties
already organized. They also contem-
plate considerable increase in the
number of women agents engaged in
extension activities. The number to
be employed will depend upon the
number of trained men and women
available. Proved ability in leader
ship as well as technical training will
be required.
The use of city agents in the conduct
of the extension work of the depart
ment is a new departure made desira-
BILE by the Importance attached in the
present food crisis of the world to the
conservation and efficient utilization of
foods. The city demonstration work
will be carried on by women agents
who will work in cooperation with the
existing organizations of women.
The aim of the extension work is to
carry directly to as many people as
possible information in regard to
proved methods Of agricultural pro-
duction and home economics. Econ
omy in the purchase and use of food,
and methods of food conservation by
canning, drying, ETC., will be empha-
sized. The men county agents are con-
cerned chiefly with agricultural pro-
duction, while the women are employed
in demonstration work in home econo-
mics.
With funds furnished in the food
production bill the States Relations
service also will seek greatly to en-
large the enrolment of young people
in the boys and girls clubs which are
devoted to increasing agricultural pro-
duction and conserving the food sup
ply through canning, drying, and other
means. ....
The service also will work out prob
lens in the efficient utilization of va
rious foods and will aid institutions
devoted to agricultural education to
plan and conduct courses of instruc-
ton especially suited to the present
emergency.
