POTATO DEMONSTRATION

I hope every farmer in Richland
County has noticed the results of the
work in treating potatoes as exhibited
at the Fair Grounds. These exhibits
showed that with very little work the
acre yield can be materially increas-
ed. The question now is this: How
can we increase this yield still more?
This can be done by a. simple and
easy method that any one can use,
namely, by hill selection" On the 4th
and 5th of October. we will have dem
onstrations on chill selection" of po-
tatoes on the following farms:
October 4th-
1000 A. M. Knute Helling. Walcott
1880 P. M. Andrew Bakken, Aber-
crombie
4:3Q P. M. Manikowski Farm,
Mooreton
October 5th-
1000 A. M. Will Mitchell. Sonora
1880 P. M. ]. Thiel, Barney
4:30 P. M. s. P. Stucky, Wynd-
mere
These demonstrations will not take
over thirty minutes. No matter how
busy you are, II you are interested in
potatoes you can spare that time. Po-
tatoes are a good and useful crop.
We want Richland County on the po-
tato map.

County Agricultural Agent.

NEGRO WOMAN KILLS
 MOTHER TO END WAR

Pine Bluff, Feb. 25.--Claiming that the government had told her that the war would end if she would kill her mother, Amy Lewis, negro wo- man, yesterday shot and killed her mother, Lou Warren, on the Nlchol place, near Pine Bluff. She then went to a neighborhood church and caused a panic by firing two shots from her pistol. Sheriff Williams arrested her later and placed her in jail here.
 She seems rational on any subject except the war and thinks she was justified in sacrificing her mother that she might end the war.
