WYNN IRISH POTATOES D

The culture of the Irish potato Is
familiar to almost everyone who has
ever had garden. In brief, the po-
tntoes 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 none too
early. The tubers should be cut so
that each piece contains from one to
two eyes, and the pieces planted in
rows from "a to 80 inches apart, and
from 10 to 10 inches apart in the rows.
depending on the variety. Cultivation
should be frequent and thorough. 1t
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 country will
mature In sufficient time for the gar
dener to grow crop Of sweet corn,
late cabbage or turnips on the same
ground. 1t is often possible to plant
the second crop between the potato
rows before the potatoes are dug.
Early potatoes may be used as soon as
large enough, an old rule being to be-
gin using them when they are as large
as hens egg. The usual method is
to dig them as needed, leaving the
main part of the crop to develop to
maturity.
In the central portion of the United
States the late crop may be planted
from June 10 to July 1, but in the
northern sections the main crop is
planted earlier than this, no 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
potatoes are allowed to grow until they
mature or until the frost kills the
vines. The cultivation of the late crop
Is similar to that employed in the case
of the early crop.

Simple Test for Soil.

A simple test to determine when
garden soil is ready for plowing or
working is to take a handful of earth
from the surface and close the fingers
tightly on it. If the earth compacted
in this way is dry enough for cultiva-
ton it will fall apart when the hand
is opened. This test is applicable only
to comparatively heavy soils, but 1t Is
these which receive the most injury If
they are worked when wet.

SWEET POTATOES.

The sweet potato thrives best in the
southern part of the country, as it is
a tropical plant. 1t cannot be sue
cessfully grown in the extreme north
ern sections of the country. The
plants are started in hotbeds by bed
ding potatoes in sand and allowing
them to sprout. The plants are brok-
en- off the parent potato as soon as
they have formed n few leaves and
root system of their own, and as soon
as the ground in the open is well
warmed up. This will be one month
after the date of the last killing frost.
Sweet potatoes are heat-loving
plant, and cannot withstand cool
weather. In setting them in the open,
the usual method is to throw the soil
up in ridges about feet apart. The
plants are set in a row on top of these
ridges some u or IA inches apart.
Sweet potatoes thrive best in a
sandy soil that is well fertiliZed
throughout. 1t is a good plan to open
burrows where the row is to be, fill
these burrows with manure and turn
the soil back on top of the manure.
This should be thoroughly mixed with
shovel plow or cultivator, as too
much manure in one spot under the
hole will produce large growth of
vines at the expense of the potatoes.
Sweet potatoes may be dug at any
time after they become large enough
to use, but improve in quality as they
approach maturity. They should be
dug ms soon as thp vines are Killed
by frost.

Poultry Ban Lifted

The Gods OF Chickens turned their
heads away when the United States
Food Administration changed its
mind and lifted the ban against the
killing of poultry week sooner than
had been contemplated

mid-winter, freshly killed hens could
not be sold between February % and
April 30. The amended ruling made
the sale of hens and young poultry
legal from midnight of April 10.

about an early laying and Matching
period are given as the reason for the
change in ruling
In lifting the restrictions, the Food
Administration appeals to the farmers
not to begin rushing their hens to
market, but to send them gradually
and thus prevent flooding the market
which will result in heavy spoilage.

COLORADO BAKERS SEEK
FOR WHEATLESS FORMULA

Loyal bakers in Colorado have been
spending their leisure time of late
plumbing the mysteries of absolutely
wheatless bread. Wheat flour, in the
past, has always been used as the
binding ingredient in bread, and with
it eliminated. bakers have been hard
pressed to find an adequate substi-
tute
Various excellent samples of wheat
less bread has been submitted TO w.
F. Pritts, head of the bakers division
of the Food Administration, and it is
expected that practical formula will
be discovered within very short
time
The necessity for wheatless bread
faced the bakers of the state when a
large number of its leading hotels
volunteered to refuse to serve wheat
products of any kind until after the
wheat harvest.

NEW ORLEANS COTTON

New Orelans, Nov. 9.-A quiet and waiting market developed in cotton today with moderate buying move- ment dominating prices. It was bas- ed on the belief that important poli- tical events were bound to occur over Sunday and that they would be favor able to staple. Around the opening considerable liquidation from tho long side was felt and it depressed the most active months from 23 to 8 points. These offerings were soon absorbed and from then on buyers had to pay advances. Late in the session prices were 34 to 45 points over yesterdays closing levels and last prices showed net gains of p to 37 points.
 While little attention was paid to any other feature of the present sit uatiOE except the armistice conrei- ence. the continued military successes on the western battle front, the in- ternal troubles of Germany and re- ports of floods ad overflows in the most important cotton counties or Texas had the effect of giving the market steady undertone, although no buying resulted directly from them
 The closing was steady, at an ad- vance of 27 to 37 points.

NEW YORK COTTON

New York, Nov. s.-The delay in signing the armistice and uncertain lty regarding over-Sunday develop ments led to more or les nervous ness and irregularity in the cotton market today. On the whole, how ever, the undertone was steady to firm on covering by Wall Stree. shorts.
 The market opened steady at a de- cline of B points to an advance of lo points with near months relative iy weak under scattering liquida- tons, but very soon turned firmer. There was active buying of January and Mach, which was supposed to re- fleet covering by Wall Street Inter- ests who had sold last month on the bearish view of peace as a market factor and the demand from this source brought ill scattered buying from other quarters. After showing net advances of about 9 to 27 points the market reacted under realinz- ing, but reached the best prices of the day in the late trading when De- cember sold at 29.50 and March at '2S.3S, or about 43 to 4S points net higher. The close was only a few points off from the best under req lizing.
