Select Seed Potatoes In Field.

Seed selection Of sweet potatoes is
just as important as that of corn. cot
ton or any other crop, according to
NJ. Hull. assistant horticulturist. Ex-
tension Division, Louisiana State Uni
versity. Good yields Of sweet pota-
toes cannot lie expected from scrub
seed,'' says Mr.. Hull, and continuing !:
Selecting seed has two distinct ad-
vantages: First. it increases the yield
by making possible u good stand Of
strong plants and the developing of
gh-yielding strains; secondly, 1t re-
duces the danger from diseases. Many
diseases may be effectively controlled
by this method, and some, such as foot
rot, practically eliminated.
Careful ,hill-selection should be
practiced in the fall at digging time
.and the potatoes selected for seed stor-
ed in separate crates and given special
care. These should not be handled or
sorted until bedding time in the spring.
Select only }medium-siZe, well-shaped
potatoes. free froms disease, from hills
producing not less than five market
able tubers. Quicker results would be
obtained if the standard was set at ten
to the HILL The growers OH the eastern
shore of Maryland practically double
their yield by following hill selection
for two years"

BRlNKLEY'S ONE CIRCUS
DAY OF THE SEASON

The Al G. Barnes Big Wild
Animal Circus comes to Brink
ley on the above date and
everybody and his aunt and
uncle are coming of course.
The show carries the slogan,
'The show that is different, +"
due to the fact that they are an
exclusive animal exhibit. AMI
mails of almost every species
have come under the master
hand of Mr.. Barnes, who by his
own methods developes them
into circus performers. Every
thing circusy is there, pink lem
onade, double-jofnted peanuts,
side-shows, big glittering spec
tacles, but the basis of enter
tainment is the number of wild
and domestic animals the show
carries and the quality of their
acts.
" E9te big opening feature is a
fairy creation, namely: "Alice
in Jungleland." There is a little
girl who goes on a hunt for
wonderland, falls asleep in a
park, fairies appear, bring her
a king who wishing to show his
great wealth orders the royal
jungle to appear, then follows
the entrance ofthousands of an
imals and hundreds of people
all beautifully dressed, wild men
and jungle natives with their
jungle music. There will be a
parade in the morning at 1920
and doors to the main tent will
open at / and Z p. m., an hour
before the performance.
