Do not wait until planting time next
spring to select your seed potatoes. Do
not even wait until harvest time this
fall. Begin now by making study Of
the plants. This is the plan that
should be followed by potato growers
who want to have seed that will pro-
duce the highest yields. Potato grow
ers should have seed plat, which may
or may not be part Of the main crop,
and from the best-growing, disease-re-
sistant plants in this plat which pro-
duce high yields of marketable-sized
potatoes, select their seed for the fol-
lowing year. An area Of one-tenth or
one-fifteenth of the entire acreage will
usually provide sufficient seed for the
| following seasons planting.
While 1t is an advantage to start the
seed plat with selected material the
work may be begun during the grow
ing season with any good stock of
promising quality planted in suitable
soil and properly cared for. The best
portion of the field therefore should be
selected for the seed plat. 1t should
be well drained, frequently cultivated
and thoroughly sprayed.

Quoted In New York state which show

KEEP FARM MACHINERY BUSY
Lazy Binder Works Only Forty Days
In Eleven Years-"Work-or-FIsht"
Policy Applicable.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture)
The work-or-fght policy should be
applied to farm machinery as we'll as
to men. Though machines cannot fight
they can be put to work on many occa-
sions instead of standing idle in the
barn lot. Most farm machines and i'm
plements are capable of doing much
more work than they usually do, and
the more they are used the less man
labor will be required on the. farm.
Three men with a corn binder, ,one op-
Grating the machine and two gathering
and shocking the bundles, will cut from
seven to ten acres day, while four or
Ave acres would be fair days work
for the same three men cutting corn by
hand.
The average corn binder lasts about
eleven years, but during that time does
only about forty days actual work.
There Is no doubt that 1t could render
several times this much service before
wearing out II there were more work
to do. There seems to be very little
relation between the amount of work
done annually by corn binder and
the years of service.

Food Hint for Today
How to Can String Beans.

String beans for canning should be
tender and fresh. When the beans
within the pod have grown to any size
canning is more difficult and the fin

Refugee is a good variety for canning.
Use only well-sorted, small, tender
beans. Wash and pick over the beans.
String the beans and cut them into
Pinch lengths. Cutting diagonally or

If desired they can be canned whole
and packed log-cabin fashion in square
jars.
After the beans are prepared. blanch
by placing in a cheeseclOth bag in
boiling water for from 3 to s minutes,
according to the age and size of the
beans. Blanch only until the pods
will bend without breaking, then

ANOTHER FALLACY EXPLODED

The nature of peace has been said
to enervate the youth of a country.
If a nation had long years Of peace,
it has been said by the wiseacres that
the youth of that nation would lack
the sturdy qualities of their ancestors
who were bred in times of war. More
specifically, the charge has been made
that American youths would not be
the fighters their pioneer and Revolu-
tionary ancestors were because of the
long and prosperous years OF peace
America has had.
The skillful daring of the American
machine-gunners at Cantigny and the
bravery of the American Marines at
Torcy within the last few days have
completely exploded this theory. Act
ing with a swiftness which both sur
prised and confounded the enemy, re
machine -gunners took and held in the
face of fierce and repeated counter
attacks a section of the front five
miles deep at Cantigny. The marines
did practically the same work at Tor
cy. They are proud of the fact that in
less than a week they have used up
three German divisions against them,
and are still very much alive.
American aviators. long before our
entrance into the war, displayed this
same nobility of youth in the LaFay-
ette Escadrille. The American Navy
in the North Sea is doing a part of
the work of the British Navy with the
same efficacy as that of the veteran
seamen of Great Britain.
Perhaps because America has always
been conscious of her splendid
strength she has hesitated to use It
against another people. The Ameri-
can people have sometimes taken in
suits and injuries with a patience
which is remarkable when their high
spirit is considered Their conflict
has nearly always been with material
forces and but rarely with peoples.
Now that America is into the war,
and in view of the recent performanc IS
of the American soldiers there Is 10
doubt but that she will see it through
to the finish.
