IRISH POTATOES.

The culture of the Irish potato
is familiar to almost everyone who
has ever had garden. In brief
the potatoes should be planted as
soon as the ground can be worked
in spring, two weeks before the
average date of the last killing
frost being nome too early. The
tuhers should be cut so that each
piece contains from one to two
eyes. and the pieces planted in
rows from "a to 30 inches apart,
and from 10 to Is inches apart
in the rows, depending on the
variety. Cultivation should be
frequent and thorough. It is an
excellent idea to work soil up
to the plants as they develop, so
that there will be plenty of soil
to cover the potatoes as they
form.
Early potatoes in the central
and southern sections of the coun-
try will mature in sufficient time
for the gardener to grow a crop
Of sweet corn. late cabbage or
turnips on the same ground. It
is often possible to plant the Sec
ond crop between the potatoes
are dug. Early potatoes may be
used as soon as large enough, an
old rule being to begin using
them when they are as large as
a hens egg. The usual method
is to dig them as needed, leaving
the main part of the crop to de-
velop to maturity.
In the central portion of the
United States, the late crop may
be planted earlier than this, 10
attempt being made to produce
early and late potatoes, as in
many sections the growing season
is too short for the production of
but one crop. Late ptatoes are
allowed to grow until they ma
ture or until the frost kills the
vines. The cultivation of the
late crop is similar to that en-
ployed in the case of the early
crop.-U. s. Department of Agri-
culture.

NO DATE SET FOR SECOND
DRAFT CALL.


tary Baker authorized the state
ment today that mo date had beer
set for the beginning of the see
ond draft. Various estimates
have placed the time between
March l and June /. These are
declared to be entirely specula.
ton.
The governments disposition
not to disturb the labor situation,
particularly on farms at the plant
irY season. is one Of the factors
entering into the situation.
The provost marshal general =
office, it is understood, is disin-
clined to go ahead with the sec
ond draft until congress has per-
fected the law by pending amend
ments to change the basis Of ap-
portionment, and to authorize the
President to call into the military
service men skilled in industry
and agriculture, regardless Of
previous classification.
The remaining increments Of
the first draft will begin to move
forward to the camps beginning
this week.
1t is probable that next month
local boards may be asked to for
ward small increments necessary
to replace men going overseas, but
the expected summons of 100000
will be later.
Plans for the second draft as
now under consideration include
calling 100000 men month un-
til the second quota is complete.
In that way officials expect to
avoid much Of the confusion
which accompanied the first call.
The men will report in steady
stream and be assimilated into
the military machine before the
next lot is received. It has been
definitely settled that the first
contingents will be used to ill
vacancies in national guard diyi.
sions caused by the withdrawal Of
men for the organization Of spec
ial and technical units. Similer
vacancies in the national army
divisions will have been filled by
that time by the final Increment.
of the first draft.
Deferred Draft For
Rail Men Considered.
Deferred draft classification for
railroad employees is under con-
sideration between the war de-
partment and the railroad admin
istration, it became known today.
The war department objects to
giving special consideration to
railway employees as a class. in
sisting that the case Of each man
should be considered individually
as to whether he is indispensable.
This policy does not satisfy the
railroad administration. which
contends that few railroad men
are actually indispensable and
that unless some uniform action
is prescribed local exemption
boards may be inclined to refuse
deferred classification to thou
sands of necessary employees VINO
have no dependents. Nearly 5O0..
900 railroad men are within the
draft age, but the actual nnmbes
which would be affected by such
4 ruling is estimsted at less than
200 600.

The following is a very truth
full remark. "The man who
grows up i'm his native town is
regarded as a boy by the elders
until he is well started down the
declivity of life that ends in a
hole. The stranger who comes
into a place is more often pushed
to the front than the young man
who has grown up with the town.
This is the reason why so many
men become dissatisfied with their
home surroundings and long to
cast their lot in other quarters. /"
