Success with Second Crop
Irish Potatoes.

The late Irish potato crop In the
South is q success or failure accord
ing to the stand we are able to secure.
At least this has more to do with Il
than anything else. This Is especially
true when potato seed from the early
crop are used, and the only safe way is to
sprout your seed before planting them.
This has always been a difficult and un-
certain proposition for US until we re-
ceived thesfollowing letter from one of
of our subscribers last July. We pub
lished this letter in our August l, 1917,
but consider it so.much Importance that
we reproduce it here.
Editor RURALIsT-As it is difficult to
get Irish potatoes to come up when
planted in the fall, find the following
plan to be of value: Take barrel and
bore holes all about in the bottom of it;
then begin by putting in layer Of pine
straw about two inches thickness; over
this straw sprinkle lot of fertilizer or
rich soil. Cut the potatoes and put in a
layer, continue with the straw as before
until you have as many as necessary.
Set barrel In a cool damp place and
every day for five days pour a bucket
of water oyer them. By that time
they are ready for planting.
Osyka, Miss. w. M. STRICKLAND.
After reading Mr.. Strickland's letter
we were so much impressed that our
editor, DR.. Stockbridge, gave it an i'm
mediate trial with most gratifying re-
suits. In his Editorial Notes in the
next issue he wrote:
In the last RURALIsT we gave what
seemed to us to be new and superior
way for sproutiug Irish potatoes in bar
rels, We have since tried this method
as described by Mr.. Strickland and are
enthuiastic. 1t works perfectly, We
dug spring crop Of potatoes Irish Cob
blers right from the field and put to
sprout in barrel In ten days they
were all covered with strong sprouts a
half inch long and in perfect condition
for planting, They had sprouted while
the ground was too wet to work and
there was no loss whatever from rotting.
There is still time for trying the method
in Florida and the Gulf section"
Now this is really a most important,
matter as it practically assures US of a
fall cropIof Irish potatoes and makes us
independent Of the Lookout Mountain,
Green Mountain, and other varties,
of seed of which must be carried over
from the previous fall crop. 1t also en-
ables us to grow our own potato seed
for next spring. Dr. Stockbridge made
an excellent crop of late potatoes last
fall He planted them the first Of Aug
ust. He would have made more if he
could have planted a week or SO earlier,
but it took his potatoes about two weeks
to sprout, but they did sprout perfectly
and they came up when planted and
gave him a perfect stand. .-RUARLIsT

Garden Notes.

II is fairly.good time with the opening
of the month of July to plan the fall
garden. Corn can be planted for roast
ing ears to the end of that month and
with running beans planted with the
corn the family will be supplied with
two of the best vegetables. Cabbage
for fall should be planted now and trans.
planted when there is a good season the
last of July or in August. Plans should
be made for the late Irish potato plant
ing, for turnip planting and if rutabagas
are to be planted it is now time for
planting them. Also time to plant
beets for fall use, and to get ready for
lettuce next month. Another row of
tomatoes put out soon will furnish bet
ter fruit in the late summer and fall
than will the present bearing vines.
July should be busy month in every
home garden, whereas it is too often
the month that sees the garden turned
over completely to weeds and grass.
There is no more profitable acre on the
farm than the garden and the fall gar
den is just as profitable as the spring
garden.
Read the article copied in another
column from the Southern Rualist on
Irish Potatoes for the fall crop. 1t is
worth reading. We expect to try this
plan. We will plant Lookout potatoes
as soon as we get good rain now. The
ground has already been we'll broken
and narrowed and we are waiting only
for the moisture that is so much needed
here. We will also dig Triumphs and
plant a few back the same day dug,
cutting them before planting. thus
trying several methods on them.
ibis Is about the last call for plant
ing sweet potatoes for this year. Vine
cutting put out about the first of July
are said to make the very best and
smoothest potato grown.
We are planting out California peas
this week and hope to raise enough of
them for home use all the winter, Time
to plant them any time thru July with
hope of good yield.

war Work Has Brought Louis Tracy
to America as Member of
British Mission

washington, June 12.-One of the
most notable and interesting of the
many distinguished foreign visitors
whom war work has called to Amer
lea IS Louis Tracy, the English nov
elist, who is here as member of the
British war mission.
Mr.. Tracy is many sided man,
whose life has been of a highly adven-
furious type. Born in Liverpool some
nity ODD years ago, he early ran away
from home to join the navy, but ended
by going to college in France. While
still youth he went into English
journalism and in 1889 sailed for In
Ola, where he edited a newspaper and
wrote book on India. His adyen-
lures in that land with the Allahabad
Light Horse, as well as experiences
at nome as volunteer, gave him a
shrewd knowledge of military mat
tiers, which he used with wonderful
eject in THE INVADERS" THE Sir
dars Sabre" and THE Final War"
all books that created a big sensa-
ton.
In 1892 Mr.. Tracy returned to Eng
land to help 7. P. O'Connor start the
London Sun. Later he joined Sir Al
fred Harmsworth and others in the
purchase of the London Evening
News. He claims the honor Of hav-
/ ing invented the phrase, "the living
wage having used it as a headline
in the London Sun. During the hard
winter of 1S94-5 he organized a fund
Tor the poor of London and gave away
| 100000 free meals in six weeks,
keeping the starving people supplied
with food when eminent contractors
failed in the task.
In 1899 Mr.. Tracy came to America
to see Colorado mine in which, un-
fortunately, he had invested most of
his savings 1t was bad financial
experience, but good one from the
writer's point of view, for it provided
/ the local color of which Mr. Tracy
has made excellent use in several OF
bis stories.

WHAT PEACE IMPLIES
by Henri Chappelle of the
Vigilantes)

The term peace includes two differ
ent ideas. 1t suggests now a council
table and a signing of agreements
around it. The word also covers that
vast, intricate, busy life of industry,
art and pleasure, which well-meaning
people lead together-that creative
play of human energies in harmon
ious freedom. This is what all men
love, and it depends for its existence
upon the goodwill, the brotherly
equality, the fair play Of all con-
cerned. When this fundamental in
tention of right-dealing has been re-
placed by a pride that desires to
crush and drive other men, there can
be no peace, no matter how many
agreements may be signed.
No wonder the Bethlehem angels
sang, Peace on earth to men of good
will"
When Goodwill has been banished
and Peace has fled, the only way to
end the trouble which governments
can use, is to make an effectual con
quest of the offender.
