1t will be recalled that early i this

tween these two jurists as to the best
method of planting Irish potatoes.
Mr.. Coffey contending that "they
should be planted in the dark of the
moon, but in the ground" For a, time
the discussion waxed warm, and It
was expected that the iffval potato
kings would announce speaking dates
and canvass the county, possibly in
joint debate upon the merits of their
respective methods of tuBef growing

CHEAPER SEED: TO
.:.BQ0sT::: CLOVER CROP
CRIMSON VARIETY 'WLL ONLY
BRING ABOUT HALF AS MUCH
AS IT DID LAST YEAR.


Crimson clover seed wiilN be worth
only about half Of what they sold for
last year. according to Prof. Evan A.
Mclean, county agent Prof. Mclean
has made a careful investigation
through the bureau Of markets and he
is of the opinion that. the seed will
command about S. bushel, while
last year they were worth from $40
to $12 a bushe1 -,
The drop in prices of crimson clover
seed is due largely to the importations
from France. During the great war
very little seed was imported, but
with the restoration of peace and the
Rehabilitation Of the farms of France
the importations of seed have grown
and prices dropped.
In the opinion OF Prof Mclean the
lower priced seed will probably do
the county more, good than would
have been the case had high prices
been maintained. While the seed
crop of the county, Is much larger
than heretofore there will be nothing
like enough home grown seed to supi
ply the demand and the cheaper seed
will make for a larger acreage which
insures wonderful benefit to the
land of the county. Prof. Mclean is
making drive for not less than TO-
600 acres of crimson clover this fan
and he Will not be surprised If it goes
over that figure. ss ~

Worked by Stealth in Night

Their plan from the beginning was

matter of patriotic duty. If success

ful, they would turn over real prize
to the government as personal con-
tribution toward winning the war. If
unsuccessful, they were prepared to
stand the consequences, even though
these might include capture and arrest.
Their task involved working by
stealth, in the night time, practically
as burglars-but if burglars they were
obliged to be. they became, indeed,
glorious, exalted burglars. Except for
what these five men accomplished their
country would have been far less sue
cessful in coping with German attacks
from within. Because Of the i'm
portant knowledge it gained from these
records the government was able to
reach out and put it's finger on Ger
man agents heretofore unsuspccted.
AS preliminary to the big task
they had cut out for themselves the
five men obtained the use of an Office
in the same building, at II Broadway,
where the Swiss Consulate is located.
Fortunately. one of the five was we'll
acquainted with man who had a suite
of Offices in the building They needed
an office for a base of operations, for
place in which they might deposit
temporarily any papers they captured.
They also needed an excuse to be in the
building night after night, that thev
might learn the hours of the night
watchman and thus contrive to avoid
him.
