New Light on Potato Growth

cate that the early application of
water before tuber formation has
started resulted in an increase in the
number of tubers, as we'll as in the
weight per hill. Late irrigation &C.
tually increased the weight but made
little difference in the number of tu-
bers per hill. The irrigation expert
ments were not carried to a final con-
.clusion, but indicate that each appli-
cation of water at almost any period
in the growth of the plant, provides
excessive quantities are not used, may
be expected to produce an increase in
the weight of the crop, but that lit
tie or no increase in the number of tu-
bers is likely to result from irrigation
after tuber formation is we'll started.

description of the tuber-bearing parts
of potatoes and their method of
growth. It may be obtained free on

FOUR KILLED WHEN
THRESHING ENGINE EXPLODES

Two men were instantly killed, two
were fatally injured and two or three
sustained minor injuries when a steam
threshing engine belonging to S. R.
Ward, of Williston, exploded Friday
forenoon on the E. G. Sutton farm,
about 20 miles northwest of there.
Clinton Sutton, % years old, son of
Mr.. and Mrs. E. G. Sutton, and Leroy
OFT, brother of Mrs. w. C. McCrory,
and Mrs. C. E. Logan of Williston
were instantly killed, while Edgar H.
Storm, fireman, age 26, and S. R.
Ward, of Winston, the owner of the
threshing outfit, died after being TAX
en- there for treatment, the former
living for about five hours and the
latter until early Saturday morning.
Vern ~Trowbridge and Stuart Fletch-
were scalded by the escaping steam,
but not badly injured.
So great was the force of the ex-
that both ends of the engine
were blown out, pieces of metal being
scattered about so widely that it
seems miraculous that more were not
hurt. The shock moved the engine
toward the separator and left it part
ly turned, a total wreck.

Motoring has it's joys and its sor-

the sorrow side of the sport in the

punctures tires, according to the Oc-

is called by some the "devil bur-" while
others have named it the "puncture

it more truly answers. When mature,
the bur splits into five sections, each
of which is equipped with a pair of
sharp spines, so disposed that one

How do potatoes grow?
Why do some vines produce many
tubers and others only a few?
Do big seed pieces produce better
potatoes than small pieces?
When does the tuber begin to form ?
When does moisture have the most
effect on the production of potatoes?
What is the relation of soil to pota-
to production?
Experiments Conducted.
These are a few among many ques-
tions which have been asked about the
growth and yield of n of Americas
largest and most distinctive crops,
and which former observers have been
able to answer only incompletely. The
Bureau of Plant Industry, United
States department of agriculture, has
conducted a series Of experiments in
potato growth, the results of which
are published in Department Bulle-
tin 958, Development of Tubers in the
Potato, which has just been issued.
The information contained is of inter-
est not only to the plant Psychologist
but also to the practical grower, as
a knowledge Of the relation Of the
setting and subsequent development
of tubers Of the potato may, to a GER
tain extent, be put to practical use.
Tuber formation, it was found, be-
gins in general at about the end of the
period of flower bud development, al
though this is not in all cases an exact
criterion. Experiments showed that
the number, as well as the size, of po-
tatoes in a hill increased for several
weeks after the first potatoes were
large enough to dig. A small increase
in the weight of the tubers was found
to occur even after the vines had been
killed by frost. The maximum rate of
growth of the tubers was found to &C.
cur about the last of August or first
of September, which was approximate
ly 80 days after planting.
An interesting development of the
experiments was that the number and
weight of tubers per hill were found
to be influenced by the size and the
kind of seed planted. Whole potatoes
used as seed yielded heavier than half
potatoes, and these more than quart
ers, and the larger the seed the great
err the yield per hill. A whole potato
used as seed yielded more than a half
or quarter potato of equal weight.
The experiments showed that ap-
parently light soils are better for po-
tatoes than heavy soils. The lowest
production of tubers, with respect to
both number and weight per hill, was
on the heaviest soil; the highest num-
bers and yields were produced on the
lightest soil. The department thinks it
possible, however, that these results
might be modified somewhat under
different climatic conditions.
Resulted in Increase.

SPORTSMEN SHOULD LOOK
BEFORE THEY SHOOT

"Be careful what you shoot"
The foregoing warning is issued by
c. A. Jakways, state fish and game
warden, preliminary to the opening
of the hunting season in Montana.
The warning, while applying to the
hunting Of game out of season, is
also aimed at careless sportsmen who
annually are the cause of numerous
mishaps.
eff everyone would exercise care
and caution in the handling of a gun
accidents that occur every season
would be eliminated" said Warden
Jakways. "There does not seem to
be any excuse for installing a man
for a deer. If you are not certain the
identity of an object in the distance,
don't shoot. Be careful"
The open season for elk this sea-
son is from October Is to November
Is, both dates inclusive, except in
portions of Lewis and Clark county,
where the season will be open No.
vember 5. The limit will be one per
person. The season is shorter by Is
days this season owing to the fact
that elk are fewer than in former
years. The open season last year was
from October Is to December 1.
Elk may be hunted and killed in
the following counties: Flathead, Te-
ton, Pondera, Glacier, Madison, Park,
Sw~eetgrass and that portion Of Lewis
and Clark county drained by the south
fork of the Flathead, together with
that portion Of the county lying north
of the north fork of the Dearborn riv-
err; those portions of Missoula and
Powell counties lying west of the north
fork of the Big Blackfoot river and
north Of the main Blackfoot river west
of the confluence of the two streams,
and that portion of the two counties
drained by the waters Of the south
fork Of the Flathead river, and those
portions of Missoula county lying
east of Belmont creek from it's source
north Of the Big Blackfoot and east
of the confluence of said Belmont
creek with the Big Blackfoot at the
west end of Nine Mile Prairie and, also
that portion of Missoula county drain
ed by streams flowing into Swan river,
and that portion Of Gallatin county
south of the north fork of Sixteen
Mills creek.
Duck hunters this year are goirg
to have the season beaten for luck.
There are more ducks and geese this
year than for many seasons past. And
for that reason the open season has
been placed from September 16 to
January l. Last year the season was
from September Is to December /.
There will be a limit of 20 ducks
per person per day, eight geese and
eight brandt.
The open season for grouse and
prairie chicken, sag hen, sage grouse,
fool hen, pheasant and partridge will
be from October l to October Is. The
limit will be five per person per day.
The foregoing may only be hunted
in the counties of Flathead, Missoula,
Lincoln and Sanders.
The deer season will be from No
vember 1 to December /, and the
limit will be one buck deer with Wis
ib!e horns to one person. Deer may
be hunted and killed in all the courl-
ties of the state except the counties

Grip.

Grip.
Grip usually starts just the same as
a cold with a watery discharge from
the nose. You are much more likely
to contract the grip when you have a
cold. For that reason when grip is
prevalent you should go to bed as soon
as you feel that you are taking cold
and stay in bed until fully recovered
which should not be long if you take
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. Three
days in bed now is better than three
weeks later on.

LONGER TRANSMISSION LINES

Why has long distance transmission
been developed so extensively in the
West? In the early years of it's de-
velopment, fuel was scarce and ex-
pensive, there being no deposits of
coal at hand, and the oil fields not
having been developed. The country
vas being settled and power was need
ed. This combination made the lure
of the mountain streams very strong.
Their water was continually falling
from higher to lower elevations with
out doing any useful work. They were
a possible sources of needed power,
but the power could not be used neal
the place where it could be generated.
These conditions made it necessary
to transmit the power over long dis
tances, and electric transmission was
the solution of this problem.

OF all the conditions that afflict hu-

more commonly known as indigestion,
Is probably the most prevalent.
The most universal malady has baf-
fled the medical profession for years,
and the most skilled specialists have
been unable to cope with 1t success
fully.
Hours might be consumed in des-
cribing the sufferings. mental and
physical of the sufferers from chronic
dyspepsia and their failure heretofore
to get relief A morbid, unreal, whim-
.sical and melancholy condition Of the
mind, aside from the nervousness and
physical confering, is the usual condi-
tion Of the average dyspeptie.
Dyspepsia, or indigestion. as the case
may be, is usually caused by the eat
ing of too much unsuitable food. and
the mucous membrane Of the stomach
becomes irritated, and there is set up
an acute or sub-acute gastic catar-
rhal condition which prevents theI
proper digestion of the food. This
and as result the familiar distress
ing symptoms of dyspepsia may arise.
In mild cases there is nothing more
than an uncomfortable feeling in the
stomach, with certain amount Of de-

perhaps belching Of gas and occasional
There may be also accom- |
panying intestinal symptoms, such as
