This crop is one of the most endur-
ing and satisfactory vegetables. 1t
can be grown on almost any we'll
drained soil, but will do best on deep
sandy loam. There Is little POSSIBLE
ity Of having the ground too rich, and
liberal applications of partly rotted
barnyard manure should be made be-
fore the plants are set. The seeds OF
asparagus may be sown during the
spring In rows where the plants are to
remain, and the seedlings thinned to
stand IA feet apart in rows.
1t Is usually more satisfactory to
purchase two-year-old roots, as con
siderable time is saved In this way
As the asparagus bed Is permanent
feature of the garden, 1t should be 10
Gated accordingly. Before setting the
plants the soil should be loosened very
deeply, either by subsoil blowing or by
deep spading. 1t is good plan to re.
move the top soil and spade manure
into the subsoil TO depth Of ii or Ii
inches. The plants may be set in
rows for horse cultivation or In beds
If In rows they should be set IA inches
apart, with the rows 3h feet apart
If In beds, one foot apart each way is
the proper distance to set the plants
In setting the plants the crowns should
be covered A or inches deep.
In the North the plants should re
ceive mulch of or inches of ma
nure In winter. In the South the
mulch is not necessary, but the plants
should receive coat Of manure or an
application Of fertilizer, preferably In
autumn.
No shoots should be removed during
the first year the plants are set In the
permanent bed, and the period OF cut
ting should be short during the second
year.-U. s. Department Of Agricul
ture.

Plant the seeds of peppers in the
hotbed about six weeks to two months
before time to set them in the open
ground. They should be transplanted
at least once and should not be set In
the open until the ground is thorough

the large bull-nosed types should be
placed in rows 3 feet apart with the
plants from 10 to IL inches apart in

should be given, and the plants will

Our Potato
Column
Article No. 5.
LOSE SEVEN BUSHELS OF POTA-
TOES EVERY DAY.
What Happens When the Tops Of Pc.
tatoes Are Killed Prcmaturely.

For everyday when the tops Of POI
tatoes could grow but do not, the grow
er loses seven bushels of potatoes per
acre.
Whenever the growing season is less
ened by even two weeks through at
tacks of potato beetles and flea beetles,
the acre loss is very nearly one hun
dred bushels--potatoes which the grow
er might have had had he protected his
investment in the growing Of potatoes.
For every week that is lost during
the growing season, because the tops
are killed by early blight, or by tip
burn, or by the late blight, which is
followed by rot. the loss to the grow
er Is nearly SO bushels per acre. This
is generally more rather than less, for
often the entire crop rots. Then the
grower loses not only what he might
have had, but some of the potatoes
which he actually did have.
The figures are taken from results
secured at two widely separated agri-
cultural experiment stations. At one
of these stations, in Minnesota, they
commenced digging the crop the very
last Of July, and measured the acre
| yield, by weeks, until the last Of Au-
gust. The last harvest was 215 bush
| els greater than the first harvest. The
crop gained at the rate of slightly over
] seven bushels per acre per day, an in.
crease which is absolutely lost when
| the vines die early.
At the Rhode Island experiment sta.
ton similar experiment was tried
with results in very close agreement
The first harvest was July IL, when
the yield was at the rate of 1852 bush
els per acre. The last of the potatoes
were dug 80 days later, when the tops
were entirely dead, and the yield al
that time was found to be 1893 bushels
per acre-a gain Of over seven bushels
per acre per day.
Spraying Prevents the Loss.
Spraying the potato vines against
bugs, beetles and blights prevents this
great loss. 1t kills the beetles ant
keeps the blights from even getting
started. 1t makes larger yields by pro
longing the growing season.
Fertilizers have much the same at
feet. A poorly nourished plant can M
more resist disease than can poorly
nourished man. Spraying protects thu
potato growers investment In fertili
ger, and thus gives what is really dou
bic protection.
AS long as potato vines stay greer
the yield continues to increase, even Il
most Of the leaves are dead. 1t Is i'm
portant to know this, for in spraying
potatoes the temptation is always t.
omit the last spraying. The vines arr
often lodged between the rows, and i
seems as though more damage woult
be done by the sprayer in passing
through the rows than would be don,
by neglecting to spray. Yet If the las
spraying simply wards off the bligh
and keeps the vines healthy until com
plete maturity, few days at best.
pays enormous returns on the spraying
investment.

REPORT SHOWS
MORE DEATHS
Mortality For Three Months
Higher Than For Period
Last Year.

Deaths in North Dakota during h
first three months Of 1919 exceeded
those for the similar period of 1918
by over 500 according to the Public
Health Bulltein just issued by the
state board Of health.
The record shows that during the
first three months of h present year
there were 1,315 deaths in the state.
During the first three months of 1913
there were 1905. The increase is
chiefly due to the higher mortality
from pneumonia and influenza. Dur
ing the first three months Of 1919
there were 664 deaths from pneu-
monia and 100 from influenza In the
corresponding period for 1915 there
were 11S deaths from pneumonia and
none from Influenza.
In the city of Grand Forks during
the three month period this year there
were ~ deaths. In the county there
were 104 deaths during the same per-
iod. The heaviest mortality was in
February, when there were 43 deaths
in Grand Forks county, of which 80
were in the city.
The birth rate in the city and coun-
ty keeps well ahead Of the mortality
however, the statistics showing that
