New York.-The expedition which
Capt. Robert A. Bartlett will lead next
June to make an aerial survey of the
North pole will be known as the Roose-
welt memorial expedition, according to
an announcement by the Aero Club of
America, which is financing the trip.
Any land discovered will be named
Roosevelt land"
Officials of the club explained it was
fitting that this tribute should be paid
the former president. as it was he who
gave Rear Admiral Peary leave of alb
sence to head the expedition which dis
covered the pole, and Captain Bartlett
commanded Pearys ship, the Roose-
welt.
Club officials also emphasized the
fact that Colonel Roosevelt had been
one of the first patrons of aero
nautics."

about inches. using hoe or l.
horse pillow for the purpose. One to
three weeks will be required for the
potatoes to come up. depending en-
tirely upon the temperature of the
soil. The ground may freeze slightly
after the planting has been done, but
so long as the frost does not reach
the seed potatoes no harm will result
and growth will begin as soon as the
soil becomes sufficiently warm.
As soon as the potatoes appear
above ground and the rows can be
followed. the surface soil should be
well stirred by means of one of the
harrow-toothed cultivators Good cul-
tivation should be maintained through
out the growing season with Occa-
sional hand hoeing, if necessary. to
keep the ground free from weeds.
Toward the last the soil may be well
worked up around the plnnts in order
to hold them erect and protect rhe
tubers from the sun after the vines
begin to die.

PREMIER VENIZELCS OF GREECE

The greatest statesman at the

epithet was bestowed the other day by
President Wilson on EIeutherios Vent
Zeios, premier of Greece, who repre-
sents before the world tribunal not
only his own country. but also the I'M
redeemed Greeks of the Aegean islands
and the mainland of Asia Minor. 1t
has been said that no European coun-
try of modern times owes as much to
the genius of one man as Greece owes
to FeniZelos; he was called 'the best
friend the allies have in southeastern
Europe and it may be added that If
the Balkan peninsula ceases to be the
sore spot of Europe and its peoples
are TO be relieved from the political,
economic and cultural handicap which
has burdened them far centuries, it
will be due in no mean extent to the
vigor and foresight of the Cretan

follows permanent injury to the pas
ture is quite likely to result. A spike
tooth harrow following the disk
usually drags the loosened pieces of
sod some distance away, thereby leay-
ing numerous areas of considerable,
size entirely bare. This happens more
especially on slopes where a complete
covering is difficult to maintain. even
under the most favorable conditions.
The spike-tooth harrow, when used
alone, is less likely to loosen large
pieces of sod than when used in con-
junction with the disk. Its use dur
ing the spring over numerous small
areas of ungrazed grass where the
droppings from animals have fallen
is beneficial in that it uniformly dis
tributes this fertilizer.

Alternate grazing as a relief for con-
