Plant Fall Potatoes Now.


Practically every farmer and gard
ener in Missouri a grow a crop of
late potatoes for fall and winter use
by planting seed the latter part of
June or early in July. The early or
spring crop which ripens in summer
is alright for immediate consumption,
but usually is not of the best quality
when kept for winter use. The late
crop, ripening in the late fall, keeps
in splendid condition until late spring
Fall crop potatoes planted at Column
bia, June 80, 1920, and dug October 20,
according to j, T. Rosa, Jr., of the
Missouri College of Agriculture, were
kept in perfect condition in an ordi-
nary house basement until May 1,
1921, without ~shriveling and with very
little sprouting. Experiments on the
horticultural grounds of the Expert
ment Station at Columbia the past
three years showed that just as good
yields of potatoes could be gotten
from the fall crop as from the usual
spring crop, if the right varieties were
used. Such varieties as Peachblows
Mccormick. Rural, Russell, Green
Mountain and Gold Coin have been
the pest fall varieties, but these varie-
ties yield very poorly, if planted for
the spring crop. The highest yield
ing fall variety the past two years
has been the %so-called, ''Real Irish,"
a local variety found in St. Louis
County. Early varieties such as Irish
Cobbler, and Early Ohio, can be
grown in the fall, to produce seed
with which to plant the early crop
the following spring.

Almost Entire Fruit Failure.

Missouri fruit prospects for 1921 are
all but a failure, following the best
spring prospects in recent years. In
formation concerning this situation
was pointed out some time ago by E.
A. Logan, of the United States bureau
of crop estimates, and Jewell Mayes,
secretary of the state board of agri-
culture. In fact this is the worst fall
ure ever known in the state. Ii was
uniform in all the counties. In fact,
the damage was SO great that occa-
sional trees were killed and much
difficulty is experienced in keeping
mp interest in spraying and other
orchard practice. Throughout the
Ozark region the fruit growers have
have trimmed back the trees and are
preparing for next season. as there is
always a good time ahead coming.
The following damage was done to
fruits in this state, according to ex-
pert estimates: Apples, 90 per cent;
peaches, 81 per cont; pears, 9s per
cent; plums, 95 per cent; cherries,
90 per cent; goose berries and cur
rants, So per cent; Strawberries, go
per cent; grapes, 65 per cent.

THE REGISTER heartily endorses
every word of the following taken
from the last issue of the De Soto
Republican:
We noticed a boy with an air gun
shooting at birds a few days ago.
His aim was good and while we watch
ed him he brought down two. When
we asked him if he knew it was
against the law to kill little birds, he
proceeded to give US a good cussing
and walked away. We never wanted
to use a barrel stsye SO badly in our
whole life, and had we been permit
ted to do so that young gentlemen
would eat his meals standing up for
the balance of the summer. The law
prohibits the killing of birds and ii
an example could be made in cases
like the one cited here it might put a
stop to it. Parents should teach their
children the humane side of things as
we'll as law observance, yet a man
who will place a rifle of any kind in
the hands Of a kid uses very poor
judgment to say the least.

Liver.

East Nashville, Tenn The effic.
iency Of Thedford's Black Draught, the
genuine, herb, liver medicine, is
vouched for by Mr.. W. N. Parsons, a
grocer Of this city. 1T Is without
doubt the best liver medicine, and I
don't believe I could get along without
1t. I take 1t for soul stomach, head
ache, bad liver, Indigestion, and all
other troubles that are the result Of
q torpid liver.
II have known and used 1t for years.
and can and do highly recommend 1t
to every one. I won't go to bed with
out it in the house. 1t win do all it
claims to do. I can't say enough for
it."
Many other men and women through
out the country have found Black
Draught just as Mr. Parsons describes
valuable in regulating the liver to
Its normal functions, and in cleansing
the bowels Of impurities.
Thedford's Black raught liver medi-
cine Is the original and only genuine.
Accept no limitations or substitutes.

Congressman King is mi Of an In
creasing number of Republicans In the
House who are urging quick action
on Philippine independence. Mr..
King is the author Of a bill which pro-
vides that within one year the Philip
pine government, under presidential
proclamation, may assemble a conVen-
ton and frame a constitution.
After the constitution is ratified by
the Filipino people the President may
recognize the Philippine islands as "a
separate and s~elf-governing nation"
The transfer Of authority is to be
completed within one year. Provision
is made for safeguarding American In
vestments In the Philippines and for
the providing Of coaling stations and
submarine bases in the islands by the
United States.
Word from the Philippines is that
the people expect early independence
and will be sorely disappointed If they
do not get it.
mo nation has the right" said Con-
gresham King Ito hold another people
in peonage, even though it may be-
argued by the. professoriate that the
condition Is simply one Of 'tutelage.'
"a little more observance Of the
golden rule In national and internal
tional affairs would soon dispel that
desire for exploitation, the fiercest foe
Of freedom in the world today.
"When we went to the Philippines
we declared before the whole world
that we were not actuated by any self
ish desire Of conquest or territorial
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT, but solely by humane
tartan impulses"
Congressman King called attention
to the fact that Filipinos are now
raising funds to erect a monument to
Admiral Dewey, which he said was in
directly a tribute to the American peo-
pie as well as to Dewey. He recalled
the cable that Dewey had sent to
President Mckinley, which was as
follows:
SIN my opinion these people Gill;
pinoS) are superior in intelligence and
more capable of self government than
the natives of Cuba, and I am familiar
with both"
Congressman King then recited the
preamble to the Jones law, passed
August 20, 1915, and declared 1t was a
definite pledge Of independence. The
preamble stated sit Is as it has always
been the purpose Of the people of
the United States to withdraw their
sovereignty over the Philippine Islands
and to recognize their independence as.
soon as a stable government can be
established therein"
Congressman King stated there was
no question but that the Filipinos had
established the specified stable gov
eminent and, therefore, it is the
solemn duty Of the United States to
grant the promised independence.

GAIN COMES TO STATE

But Wheat Held on Farm Cuts In
come Tax Revenue
The millions Of bushels of wheat
held on Kansas farms this year will
cause the income collectors revenue
to shrink the current year, according
to w. Fl. L. .Pepperell, United States
revenue collector for Kansas. But
where Uncle Sam loses in tbs partic-
ular, the local and state governments
will gain, for such wheat, If retain
ed on the farm until March i, will
be subject to state and local taxes.
The number of 1920 income tax
payers in Kansas who failed to "pay
up" on time was negligible, being
but about 100 out of the 10000
Kansans whose annual stipend comes
within the range Of Uncle Sans tax
provisions. The last installment was
due December Is. The delinquents
were corporations-big business con-
Germs, manufacturers and oil COM
panies. They might have paid up
their income tax in full when the
first payment was due last March,
but it is customary with large bust
ness concerns, the collector says, not
to pay taxes until nearly the last
day they are due. The 1920 pay
ments were on 1919 incomes.

TOO MUcM INTENTION 10 Fish
Game Warden Says Animals Are Be-
ing Exterminatcd

ING Extexuuuato0
Asserting that the Kansas fish and
game department from the time of
its inception has devoted too much
attention to fish, Alva O. Clapp, state
fish and game warden announces a
program which emphasizes rest0ck-
ing the state with game.
Our original supply Of countless
thousands Of game birds and animals
has been reduced to a mere fraction
Of its former numbers, and In case
Of many species, exterminated," said
Mr.. Clapp. Several other states are
also nearly stripped.
"This department has always been
a case Of too much fish. Possibly
better statement would be, all fish
and no game. Fish are desirable and
necessary and there Is no intention
Of abating our work Of .propagating
and distributing them. But hunters
supply all the funds Of the depart
ment and are entitled to c0nsidera-
ton. The policy Of overstOcking
private lakes year after year, with
the owners doing nothing to put
their waters in condition to supply
the fish with suitable food and
spawning grounds, is very question
able economy in my judgment"
