LOWER CALIFORNIA Rich.

All that has been generally known
in the past about Lower California is
that it rs largely mountain and des-
ert. but IT is rich in minerals and
contains several towns and a popula-
ton Of over 10000. Since the open
ing of the Panama canal there has
been increased activity in the min
ing industry. The peninsula was
partly explored by francesca de Ullo
in 1887, but for a long time was re-
garded as an island. 1t was not I'M
til 1913 that its connection with the
state Of California was discovered.
The territory is self-goyerning, hay-
ing a governor and Legislature elect
ed by the people, but subject in some
respects to the federal laws of Mex
leo. During the revolutionary trou-
bles in Mexico in 1912 it maintained
an almost complete separation. rs
teban Canthu is the present gov
ernor.

THE MARkETa.
rwest potatoes North and soutk,
 Differ Materially

 The northern and eastern markets demand a dry, mealy potato, while the markets of the South much prefer the fine texture sweet and juicy types.
 Growers for the market and fancy trade should select medium size po- tatoes, sufficient 10 be served to one person. Very large potatoes are not wanted and small potatoes should not be shipped at all.
 For northern trade the Jersey type is the best.
 The moist feshed market varieties most popular at the present time in the South are Nancy Hall, Porto Rico, Triumph and Dooley The Nancy Hall is going to be the most popular south ern variety. It natures early and will keep until early spring. Vine very lux uriant; potatoes large, oblong, yellow, Flesh mottled yellow and white to deep yellow, being moist and sweet when cooked. This is very produc- tive variety.
 Early Triumph is popular variety of the Jersey type. It is medium size, quite long with blunt ends.

This is what made Missouri as an Agricultural state as she is to- day. A great many questions were asked and answered by Mr. Moery.

BEDDING POTATOES.
Beware of Sweet Potato Disease Which Will Cut Down Your Yield, Ruin Potatoes in Storage and
 Lower the Selling Price.

National Crop Improvement service.1
 You insure your housn against loss by fire, your hogs against loss by cholera-why not insure your sweet potato crop against loss from diseases
 A big crop of sweet potatoes is largely matter of cleanliness.
 Disease Is spread by infected soil where grown; filthy implements; in- sects; manure; using unknown seed from another state or neighborhood horses hoofs: boots of farmers: care lessness with diseased potatoes >which have been discarded; feeding live stock raw diseased potatoes.
 Sanitary rules have freed the United States from the yellow fever plague, have cut down the deaths from ty- phoid fever and have in many ways increased the chances of living.
 The great hazard in growing sweet potatoes, is disease. For example, black rot, stem rot, foot rot, etc The losses from these diseases in untreated plots range from 10 to 90 per cent and sometimes ruin the entire crop.
 So you must clean and disinfect your hoe, rake and shovel used in mak- ing the potato bed
 Don't use soil of last year's bed to make this years bed. Clean sand is the best earth to use Rake up all rubbish from around the bed and cart it away to some safe place where neither animals nor men may come in contact with 1t. Burn 1t when dried.
 Don't use stable manure in the bed, but if stable manure must be used, make sure that it does not come from animals fed on uncooked potatoes.
 Never throw diseased potato out on the ground but have a basket or box for them, being careful to destroy them. s4.si

PREPARATION OF THE BED.
Rotation for Sweet Pctatoes-Fail
 Flowing Best.

National Crop Improvement Servicel
 Land that is used in sweet potato growing, should be in rotation with other staple farm crops and as a rule tie same piece cf ground should no, be used two years in succession fol sweet potatoes.
 A successful Arkansas grower uses the following rotation, with fine re. suits:
 After the crop of potatoes is taken off, hogs are turned in for time to pick up the roots. Land is then plowed and he puts in crop of corp in which TOW of cowpeas is planted during late cultivation. This is followed by winter oats and after the grain is har- vested in the spring, cowpeas are sown broadcast. These are pastured down and followed by sweet potatoes. In case you have no hogs, Sow rye after the potatoes are dug.
 This three-year rotation perhaps could be improved by a pasture or grass crop one year, preferably clover
 It is best to break the land in fall CT winter if possible, leaving it rough until spring and then rebreak. This is not always possible in case winter teaching is apt to occur.
 If the land is broken in the spring keep it well worked until planting time. Treat it about the same as corn ground. After blowing the soil should De well pulverized and allowed to lie idle few days. On well-drained lands low flat ridges give excellent results but for land where drainage is not so good, higher ridges must be made. Flow several furrows together, then flatten off the top with a light drag or board. This makes good bed.

PLANTING.
- ~s~~H x How to Grow and Handle Sweet
 Potato slips.

National Crop Improvement Servicel
 The planting of slips should be de layed until the ground becomes thor oughly warm. This will vary from the middle to the last of April during the normal season. Most of the potatoes are planted from the middle part of April and up to the middle of June. They may be planted later than this. and some have been known to secure, in the warmer part of the state, good yield from vine cutting planted as late as July and a crop of seed potatoes could be secured by planting as late as August 1st, but as rule it is not safe to plant after July I.
 The usual distance apart for the rows is 36 to 48 inches, and the plants from 15 to A inches apart in the rows Some growers prefer to use two plants to the hill, saying that it will produce more uniform potatoes of a medium, size.
 On a small acreage, the plants may be set out by hand. In transplantine sweet potato slips. the main thing to keep in mind is getting moist soil firm ly around the roots. Water about the roots when planting.
 When planting by hand, cloudy day after rain, is to be desired, or work late in the afternoon This gives the plants better opportunity to become established before the hot sun the fol- lowing day.
 On large plot machine planter should be used. Three persons on a team can set three or four acres per day. This machine waters each plant as if is set By using machine, one does not have to wait for the weather

CULTIVATION.
Sweet Potatoes Need Constant

National Crop Improvement servioe.l
 Begin early cultivation as soon as possible after planting and continue until vines interfere. Soil should be stirred after every rain to break the crust and conserve moisture. Cultivate once week when it does not rain. It is not necessary to loosen the vines from the soil where the runners take hold. Handling the vines is likely to be of more injury than benefit. Prun- ing of vines is not desirable. Hand hoeing will be necessary to keep down weeds in the row and to keep the soiI loose between plants. During the last cultivation, 1t will be necessnry to nro- tect the vines from Injury by Iaylng them into alternate rowo, repldcinG them after the cuItivatfon.
 h case weeds should opfinr m after thip cultivation, 1t is pro1tahlo e nm tnem by hand.

This Medicine Recommended by a Doctor

When a doctor uses medicine him. self besides prescribing it to his patients, he must know that 1t has merit.
 This is what Dr. ]. H. Wagner, a prom fnent physician of Skate, Kentucky, haY to say about Dr. Hartman's weIl-known remedy, PE-RU-NA: "I have used PE- RU-NA myself for catarrh and have given it to others for catarrh, bloating after eating and other ailments. It has proved success in all cases with old and young men and women All speak well of PE-RU-NA. It is the best of all tonics."
 Dr. r.-Wagner, out of the fullness of his own personal experience, for the good of all sick and suffering, recommends a medicine which he knows to be good. You may be sure doctor would not en- danger his professional reputation by endorsing PE-RJ-NA unless satisfied be- yond doubt Of it's value.
 Whether your trouble be a cough or . cold. or more subtle catarrhal effection of the stomach, bowels or other organs, give PE-RU-NA a trial The immediate Improvement which you will see will sat- 'E-RU-NA iswhat you need.
