"Next month in the Somerville Theatre

produce comedy by me Good Evening

every afternoon and evening for a week.
The comedy is in three acts and deals
with the adventures of a young society
girl who insisted upon her ability to be
detective. She had trouble with her
family over her decision to 60 out into
the world as feminine Sherlock. She
leaves home, returning after two years
and Strengthening out serious family

the career of her choice.

The Where of Spraying.
A QUESTION OF HUMAN LABOR.

In 1916 three states produced In the
neighborhood of 2OOOO,O0O bushels Of
potatoes each, viz: New York, Pennsyl-
vania and Maine.
New York state cultivated 100000
acres of potatoes in producing its
quota, and ended up with an acre aver
age Of about 70 bushels. Pennsylva-
mia confined itself to 600 acres, and
produced just about the same acre
yield, SO that its total production was
some 100000 bushels less than that
of New York state. The state of Maine,
on less than half the acreage of either
New York or PENNSYLVANIA round
numbers 125.OO0 acres-produced an
average yield of 206 bushels. SO that
the total production was greater than
either Of the other larger and more
populOus states.
The Republican journal., 1918-04-04
"A QUESTION OF AREAS.

In 1916 both Michigan and New York
grew the same area of potatOeS-ap-
proximetely 100000 acres. On this
area the state of Michigan produced, in
round numbers, 100000 bushels of
potatoes New York, for her share,
however, produced 22,4OO,OO0 bushels
an increase of nearly so per cent.
With such a difference as this it is
apparent that in the work of food pro-
dYction, the question of soil manage
ment and Of crop management is of ut
most impOrtanee-for whenever it be-
comes profitable to do so, there is no
doubt that Michigan can increase her
potato yield up to or beyond that now
obtained by New York state.

FEEDING THE POTATO CROP.

Potatoes are enormous feeders. They
have to be to make leaves enough so
that they may manufacture very large
quantities of starch-and in growing
these leaves they use great quantities
of plantfood.
Manure, If used, should be plowed
under. Ordinarily, however, the ma
nure can be used on corn to better
advantage.
Fertilizer may be either applied at
time of planting, or spread broadcast
before planting.
When the vines are from five to six
inches high, it is customary to apply
second application Of fertilizer,
spreading it alongside the row and
working in with the cultivatOr. Potato
growers find that this method wins
them a large crop of extra fine pota-
toes.

How much does it cost YOU to raise
an acre of potatoes?
How much of your own labor, or
that of your men, goes into the potato
crop?
What Is the cost of the fertilizer and
manure which you use on the crop?
How much does the seed cost you?
What should you charge for the use
of the land?
What part of the money which you
put in do you actually get back?
The chances are that you cannot an
sWer all of these questions. Probably
no one can. The figures will vary in
different cases. Yet what you know,
and what all potato farmers know, is
that this year labor costs more than
ever before, fertilizers are more diff

find. Your investment in the potato
crop will be more this year than it usu-
ally is--and even under the best of
conditions it is so high that you shiver
at the thought of losing the crop.

it made the fifth schooner built and
launched in that one yard within a period

Save Brood Sows and Gifts

The United States Govern
ment has asked that Arkansas
increase her hog production 20
per cent. To do this means that
every hog grower must keep
more breeding stock than he did
last year.
Due to the present high price
of hogs [ notice that some of the
farmers have been selling off
their good brood sows and gifts
to buyers who are shipping them
out of the county for butcher
purposes. Woodruff county
needs all or a greater portion of
those surplus sows to help make
up the increase asked by the
government. Therefore, if any
man in the county has more
brood sows than he can we'll
take care of, he can render
patriotic service by not selling
these brood sows for butcher
purposes but instead by saving
them for his neighbor or for
some other farmer in the county
who wishes to increase the num-
Der of his hogs.
AS county agent | would like
to see every farmer in our coun-
ty secure as many sows and
gifts as he can proftably handle.
And with this desire in mind,
[ shall for the next few weeks
act as free distributing agent
between seller and buyer. /
wish that those who have a sur
plus of breeding sows for sale
would write or telephone me the
number which they wish to sell,
giving the age, breeding and
price of the sows which they
care to dispose of; also the infor-
nation as to whether they are
open or bred. On the other
hand [ wish those who want
more brood sows would likewise
write or telephone me the num-
Der of sows or gifts which they
would like to buy, stating age,
the breed they desire and adj
vice as to whether they prefer
open or bred sows or gifts.
I urge that every man give
this his prompt attention as hog

has nrOven one of the most &C.

is to be congratulated upon the
efficiency with which they have
handled this large task of regis
tering and classifying the 1000
registrants of this county. The
heaviest burden of the work has
been placed upon Senator Fer
guson who has given his entire
time, almost, to the work be-
cause of the fact that Mr.. Keith
resides at Howell and can not be
on the job as much so as the
Senator and DR.. Smith being
County Health Officer and a
practicing physician, necessarily,
is kept from staying with the
job his entire time.
