WHO Is GARFIELD?

Borrowing rhraseoIogy from weIl-knOwn writer, we ask:
 Who is Ga-fieid-7yhat is he-that all our Gour- nal;stic) swairs denounce him?
 You have heard or read questions supposed to carry with them their own convincing crushing swers.
 Who is Garfield?
 Why did Woodrow Wilson select a college presi- dent to handle the coal problem?
 What can 8 college president possibly know about coal or transportation railroads?
 How can we yin this war, if take highbrOws to do the wor.Ea ought to be done by practical coal man?
 Perhaps yoa hGvd asked questions like this your self trying to burn the ashes again in your cellar or, like the philosopher among the ruins of empires meditating Monday in silent factory.
 Dr. Garfield is also business-man Garfield He was not always . college president. He and his brother Jim lawyers together, and good law yers, and even good corporation lawyers.
 These brothers, knowing they must have clients, actually created clients They created great trust company-then worked for it.
 They created a great coal mining company, and worked for that. They built railroad, and worked for that-as lawyers.
 When Garfield came to Washington to take his present jOb he resigned director of the Jefferson Coal company, of Ohio.
 lie developed company DuAt IAAhy hhHSS Oi railroad to reach it. He ought to know, and he does know, something about coal mining and coal transportation.
 If you want to judge Dr. Garfield business man. you that think his brow is too high, look up the Cleveland Trust company. Dr. Garfield started that company in a little office about the size of pantry.
 It has now fifteen branches and more than fifty , millions of deposits and holds in trust one hundred and twenty mlions-nOt exactly small enterprise or one indicating lack of business ability.
 When Dr. Garfield ordered buildings closed one day in the week and factories closed he closed build ings that he built and factories that he built.
 When Dr. Garfield talks to group of American business men, as he does every day, they go away realizing that first class business man has been talking to them. He is very quiet, patient asks for criticism insists that it shall be constructive and fur nish some details and suggestions for improvements. The doctor it is true has a rather high brow. But the works back of have developed coal mines, built roads, factories office buildings, operated and made successful big water works enterprise, and con structed on a solid foundation one of the countrys successful trust companies.
 It is just as we'll to know these facts before you criticize Woodrow Wilson for putting the coal prob lem "n the hands of a theOrist who knows nothing about coal or business problems" ."-Exchange.

THE WISDOM OF PUTTING
 YOUR HOUSE IN ORDER
CBy Edward Buckingham, Vice President, Ladd &
 Hilton Bank, Portland ,0re.)

Our bank is making every effort to so order its affairs that may be able to take its share of the 5000 of Treasury certificates which the Sec retary of the Treasury has asked the banks of the na ton to purchase at frequent intervals in anticipation of the next issue ol Liberty Bonds. We have also urged all interior bank clients who have asked our advice, to comply far as possible with the secre tarys request. The vast operations of the war are calling for veritable flood of money, and the weath- CT and transportation conditions wholly inOppOr- tune for large bond issue just at this time It is therefore altogether fitting that the banks of the country should place the disposal of the govern ment sufficient of their to bridge the period when a permanent financial program must for the time being be anticipated by temporary Ioans The situation is comparable to that which would confront the banks of a community in which is located a very large industrial concern of un- doubted financial stability upon whose successful and continuous operation the prosperity and development of that community depended If such concern were suddenly confronted with demand for temporary funds in order that it might continue to operate pending the completion of arrangements to bond its property and thus permanently finance its require ments, no bank in that vicinity would hesitate to contribute even considerable sacrifice its share of the amount needed by the industrial concern to maintain it's operations at full strength during the interim when its permanent financial arrangements were being cOnsummated. How much more essen- taI is it that the banks of the country fighting for its very existence should respond even at great sacrifice if need be- to the call which has been made upon them? They are not asked to incur even the smallest fraction of hazard in making investment, the proceeds of which will be used to protect the families and property of themselves and their dePOsi tors quite as much as it will aid in supporting the men whose lives are the stakes of the great war game in which we are vital participants.

great diversity of opinion as to the best method of building an outdoor bank, but this difference is an unim- portant matter os long as the object sought-that of keeping the potatoes is achieved
 From quite an extended experience both actual and observational. we would recommend the following plan subject to such notifications as indi- vidual preference may dictate. pro- vided the essentil principles are ad- hered to.
 1. The location of the bank should have southern exposure. and the site somewhat elevated above the surrounding ground so as to assure good drainage. We would prefer the oblong type of bank, the side sloping gently like the roof of a house. The soil should be leveled off and packed down firm. It iS a good plan to lay small legs about eight inches in dia- meter along both sides of the bank, as they will serve a good purpose in holding the potatoes and keeping back the water in times of heavy rains. The next step is to line the floor of the bank with pine straw to a depth of three or four inches, let ting it come well out over the sides.
 ?. The Ventilator. Many will balk at the idea of ventilating the bank, but other things being equal, it is one secret of success. The ventilator should be constructed of four Ks inch boards. and should run the whole length of bank. projecting little beyond at each end. It should be placed right down through the cen ter of the bank before any potatoes are put in. About the center of the bank an opening about inches square should be cut in the box on the top side. To this should be fitted shaft made nj like manner and
The Prescott daily news., 1918-10-03

about as high as the top of the bank will probably be when completed. This shaft should have one inch holes bored on all four sides about three or four inches apart along the entire length for the admission of air from the interior of the bank of potatoes. An arrangement like this will give perfect ventilation, and can be closed or opened at will by fitting cap over the opening of the bottom ven tilator at each end of the bank.
 ;. It is never advisable to put over 75 bushels of potatoes to the bank. and as a rule, 90 bushels would be better. When the potatoes are all placed in the bank, the next thing is to build an open shed of boards over the entire bank, making it tight and secure so it will not leak or be blown away, as the bank should never get wet. When this is done put on heavy layer of pine straw over the potatoes. placing a small amount oS soil around the edges to hold it in place. Leave the bank thus for two or more weeks, or until the weather begins to get freezing, when soil should be placed on over the straw to dephth of four or five inches. and even heavier, if hard freezing weath CT IS expected. When the tempera- ture goes pretty low and the ground freezes hard, it is advisable to place cap over the top ventilator, as we'll as at each end.
 In closing it would be we'll to ob

serve that any successful method of storing sweet potatoes involves the following principles;
 l. Potatoes must be harvested be- fore they are frost bitten. ?. They must not be bruised in the process of harvesting and storing. ,. The excess moisture in newly harvested potatoes must be allowed to pass off before storing. 1. The potatoes must be guarded against sudden fluctuations in tenn perature.
 ,. The potatoes must be kept dry while in storage
 If these principles are carefully observed a fair degree of success is assured

EXTENSION NOTES
Saving the Sweet Potato Crop

Saving the sweet fOtatO Nrop
 In our former article we discussed the question of harvesting the crop of potatoes and getting everything in readiness for the more important phase of the matter-that of storage, which will be discussed in this ar ticle. The common practice in this territory of keeping sweet potatoes is the outdoor bank, but as rule these are constructed in such a hap hazard way and often entirely neglect ed after storing that very poor re- suits have been secured; and conse- Quently, the impression has been ere ated that potatoes are very hard to keep in this climate. This is one thing we wish toe ombat, not that we favor outdoor banking as general practice, but where proper precau- toins are taken, it can be made fairly successful, and in the absence of cur ing and storage houses, it is all we have to depend on until houses are built.
 Every farmer should have his seed bank separate from the lot of pota- toes he uses for the table, for the req son that the seed bank should never be disturbed in any way after storing until the time comes to bed the pota toes out the following spring.

teresting to note in this connection that
this il the common method of wintering
stock cattle in the mountains of North
Carolina and of surrounding states.
Considering the combination where the
cattle were dry wintered on ear corn,
corn slower, and hay, and finished on
grass alone, the average cost per pound
for the total gain made from fall to fall
was S004s The difference between the
ration fed in this ease and that pre-
sented in the foregoing paragraph was
the elimination of the cottonseed cake
during the summer, which reduced the
cost per pound of gain from S0.0I4 to
$0.04s. These figures show that the com
bination of dry wintering with grass
during the summer produced the least
economical gains from fall to fall. The
important conclusion to be drawn from
these figures is that, where winter pas
ture can not be provided, cattle wintered
on corn silage with dry roughage and
finished on grass make the cheapest
gains,
