Flsst, it will be separate body,
4NoSi-Ju0Atidi III tui lOI the pose
implied in Its name, and it will serve
this purpose through being made up of
men separated so completely from in

actions in the determination of prices
can be subject to no suspicion of mer-

The second object to be achieved by
the prfce-hxinS committee is speed. The
committee will sit all the time and will
thus eliminate unnecessary delay caused
by the consideration of price-fxing prob

GARDENERS ARE
Warned AGAINST
"SPUD PYRAMIDS"
Famed Potato Pens" Rarely
Returned Seed Put Into
Them.

LAFAYETTE, Ind, Feb. 2S.-The
far famed potato pens" some of
which we're built in nearly every town
or city OF Indiana last year, scarcely
returned the seed put into them, inves-
legations by the horticultural depart
ment of Purdue University show. In
diana gardeners are warned against
trying the plan. The plan to grow po-
tatoes by the sky-scraper method and
raise enough in box eight feet wide,
eight feet long and eight feet high to
feed the family all winter was shot
higher than kite by Investigations OF
the results obtained from scores OF
these box potato gardens.
Experiments ny the U. S. Depart
ment Of Agriculture bear out the Pur-
due figures In pen" at Washing
ton. 20 pounds OF seed were planted.
Eight pounds Of potatoes were harvest
ed. The same results were obtained
with barrels full Of dirt. The crop
from two barrels weighed one pound
ard twelve ounces each.
Word from G.. c. Osborne, city gar
den supervisor Of Indianapolis. last
year. said that OF the forty pens"
tried in tbs capitol. not one succeeded
so far L5 he could learn. Similar re-
suits are reported from other cities in
the stats. The alleged originator of
the idea resides in Tacoma. Wash
ington and a letter written to him
some time ago. failed to get any re-
Spouse.
The general plan of the potato PEN
was to build box 6 or 8 feet square
with the boards on the sides about IL
inches wide and about an inch be-
tween them. In the bottom of the pen
was placed a II inch layer Of garden
soil, the surface Of which is marked
off in both directions with lines foot
apart. A potato seed was laid at each
intersection. On top Of this was laid
a light layer of straw and on top OF
this a six inch layer of manure, then
inches of soil, more potato seed,
straw and manure, and so on until the
pen" was filled to the top. With the
amount of soil and manure laid as di'
rected, each layer of potato seed
would come opposite the cracks be
tween the boards forming the sides OF
the pen" The theory was based on
the fact that in the cellar. sprouts
from potatoes will grow toward the
nearest light, those near the top grow
ing out the top and those near the bot
tom stretching out between the cracks
Of the pen.
