STUNG.


An instructive though some
what costly lesson has been
learned by some potato growers
of this locality. Early in the
spring they bought a supply Oh
fine looking tubers for seed in
tending to provide against at
least one part of the high cost
of living late on in the year 1920.
"The best laid plans O mice and
men gang aft aglee."
The seed potatoes were pro-
duced on irrigated land and
when planted in non-ii1'igated,
relatively dry soil found them
selves III n STANCE environment
which quite discouraged their ef-
forts at growth. The yields
from the tracts planted with this
seed will be almost negligible.
The potatoes as a crop are a fail
ure. This experience should be
a warning to our farmers gener-
ally to be careful in selecting
seed potatoes as well as seed
grain.-Kooskia Mountaineer.

rollments. Scoutmaster Joe Kelly
of troop No. 10 will help in organ
izing the new troop. John Leith-
ner, grand knight of the Knights
of Columbus, is due great amount
of thanks for his efforts on behalf
Of the boys at st. Joseph's.
The biggest court of honor ever
held in Rock Island will be this ey-
ening at the circuit court room at
