Suggestions for IL Camping Trip

Buy bottle of Chamberlsin's
Collie and Diarrhoea Remedy before
leaving home. AS a rule it cannot
be obtained when on hunting, fish
ing or prospecting trip. Neither can
it be obtained while on board the cars
or steamships and at such times and
places 1t is most likely to be needed.
The safe way Is to have 1t with you.

Californian Buys Pettis'
Big Cattle Outfit,
Ranch, Etc.

One Of the biggest cattle deals
to ever take place in this part
of the country was pulled off re-
Gently, when Charles Pettis sold
his outfit of over six hundred
head to David Hay of California.
Mr.. Pettis' headquarters ranch
and range horses and range, the
latter being in the Sitgreaves
National Forest, were also in
cluded in the transaction, and
the consideration is said to have
been close to one hundred thous-
and dollars. The buyer, who is
said to be "well fixed" finan-
cially, took immediate charge of
the outfit.
Mr.. Pettis has been engaged
in the cattle business for years,
and, we are informed, will con-
tinue to be resident of this
part, although not having yet
announced his future plans and
intentions.
Mr.. Hay also purchased z. B.
Decker's cattle in the Heber dis
trict. He has made a deal with
Jesse Pearce, who owns several
hundred acres of grazing land,
whereby he will have sufficient
range to accommodate his outfit
and larger one if he SO desires.

WINTER IRISH POTATOES
Bulk of Fertilizer Should be Applied
Before Planting

The bulk of the Irish potato crop
will be planted between December 20
and February 1. From the CONNER
! cial standpoint, it usually pays best
to plant the crop as early as condi-
| lions will permit, says y. p. Spencer
of the College of Agriculture Bxten-
sion Division. 1t requires from 80
to 100 days to grow a marketable
crop, and practice has demonstrated
fairly well that the January planted
crop, particularly in the potato area
of east and south Florida mature at
time when the prices are about the
best.
Anyone in this area having moist,
sandy land suitable for Irish pota-
toes, should plant them before Feb
Tuary IS.
On muck or prairie lands the
danger of freezing must be taken into
account, and the planting should be
delayed some Is days. Should a
freeze occur when the crop is just
coming thru the ground it will do no
serious amount of injury, but if it
ocurs when all the plants are well
established, or inches high, it is
very destructive Unless the crop is
for commercial purposes it is better
to plant so that it makes its greatest
growth during April and May.
Thoro preparation of the land is
very important. 1t is seldom that
new land planted for the first time
gives a uniform stand, as the soil
conditions are not favorable for uni
form growth. The fertilizer should
be mixed with the soil as far as it
is possible to do this. During the
winter months, the action of the fer
tilizer is slow compared with sum
mer applications, and unless it has
time to undergo the proper change to
make it into plant food, the potato
plants will get very little of it. The
usual application is from 1900 to
1000 pounds of fertilizer per acre.
Most of this can be applied before
planting the crop.
