SUCCESS OF TRACTOR
DEPENDS ON OPERATOR

Any inquiry about farm tractors is
rather difficult to answer wi.Hcut
knowing something of the nature Of
the soil, the size Of farm and the shape
Of fields.
In Tennessee, farms are usually too
billy, fields are small and irregular in
shape, and frequently 1t is impossible
to secure . careful operator. There
are number Of tractors in the State
that are giving good satisfaction. 1t
would seem that the success OF trac-
tor IL dependent upon a careful oper-
Ator to great extent. Many farmers
ind It necessary to replan their farms,
TO make their FIELDS laSger and more
regular.
l believe thass are more kerosene
burners In this section than gasoline
and there ID no way of determining,
from the reports we have been ablet
TO get definitely which is the most
satisfactory. would suggest, II one
wishes to use kerosene, that be make
sure he gets tractor that lie designed
to burn kerosene. Trying 10 bufn
kerosene in an engine that is designed
to burn gasoline Is seldom satisfsc-
tory. In burning kerosene, there is al
ways more danger Of damage 10 the
machine II the adjustments are not sx-
actly right. It requires q careful oper-
Ator. 1t is important TO use the right /
kind Of oil and / would suggest, II one
ever uses a kerosene tractor, that he
find an oil that is satisfactory and then
stick to 1t. It is we'll to get oil that is
recommended by the manufacturer Of
the tractor.-James Arentson, farm

HOW TO USE THE
IRISH POTATO
Eood Suggestions for Several
Methods Of Cooking Potatoes
in the Home
USE TENNESSEE POTATOES:
Recipes Here Given Are Not New, but
They May Have Ideas as to Meth
DDS That You Have Not Considered
eefore-Try Them Out.

(Ry Geneva Conway. Division Of Ez
tension. University of Tennessee,
Knoxville.)
Cook potatoes, both sweet and
white, with the skins on whenever
possible, as this retains some nutri-
ment, saves material, labor and time.
Mashed Potatoes. Boil the pota-
toes. Pass them thru a vegetable
btrainer, or mash with a potato mash
er. For four or five medium sized po-
tstces, add two level tablespoons but
ter, one-quarter cup of hot milk and
Q little salt. Beat with perforated
wooden spoon until very light and
funny. Turn IN hot vegetable dish
and serve at once. II these are not
served at once, set in pan of hot
water to keep warm, without the lid,
40 the lid keeps the steam in and
makes them soggy.
Baked Potatoes. Wash potatoes
thoroly, either whits or sweet pota.I
toss. BaM ID b hot oven. 1t will take
moderate sized potatoes about Is min
utes. II a soft skin Is desired the
skins may bs creased over before
they are placed in the oven. The DO
tatoes should be eaten as soon as
thoroly tender Break open, and If
there must be delay of FIVE minutes
or more before they are served, make
two sashes in the top of each potato
at right angles to each other. Gently
squeeze and let little Of the steam
escape.
Saratoga Chips. Select smooth,
long, medium sized potatoes. Pare
and cut them into thin, even slices.
The slices are best cut cross-wise of
the potatoes and very even so they
will cook quickly and evenly. Let the
slices stand In ice water for one hour,
so they will be cold and crisp. Dry on
. cloth and cook in hot fat, keeping
the slices separated with a skinner.
Cook until brown. Drain on unglazed
paper; sprinkle with salt and serve
hot or cold.
EsosIloped Potatoes. Wash, pare
and slice potatoes cross-wise. Cover
bottom Of creased baking dish.
s1pread over a layer OF bread or crack
- crumbs, and dot with butter and
sprinkle with salt. Arrange alternate
layers Of crumbs and potatoes, having
the crumbs on top. Pour over hot
milk or white sauce and bake in the
oven. A lid should be on the baking
dish until potatoes are nearly cooked.
Remove lid and allow top to brown.
Left over cold boiled potatoes can be
used this way.

SECTIONAL CHARGE SPIKED.

Efforts of certain republican lead
ers, notably Senator Watson of Indi
ana to raise sectional issue in united
America for political purposes b.
charging that the south was favored
In the draft, not only are repudiateC
by the records of the war department
but by the American casualty lists sem
by General Pershing from the battle
front in France.
In the first lists received, following
the defeat of the Germans by Franco,
American troops on the Marine, were
names of men from forty-six states
with no prediminating number from
any one state" according to the Wash.
irgton Star.
This casualty report, and others tc
follow, should silence forever politi.
clans of the Watson stripe, who would
speak to resurrect the bloody shirt Of
61-65 in the hope of thereby reaping
partisan advantage in the Forthcoming
congressional elections.
Under the caption "The Community
of Grief" The Star, a republican news
paper, says editorially:
at is noted that in the casualty list
printed yesterday were names of men
from forty-six states; all but two Of
the states in the Union. That is che
of the direct results of the selectbe
draft, which causes the army to be
recruited from every section, eveSy
state, every county and every con I
munity. Thus there is no part Of tie
United States today that is not al
fected by the toll of the war. Mourt-
ing for the dead and sorrow for TIE
wounded and missing are common 10
all parts of the country, and to al
classes of the people.

peace, were strangers and separated
by artificial divisions of social dis
tinction and occupation. Now some q
