MORTALITY RATE HIGHER

Washington, Feb. 5.-The NOR
tality rate among prohibition en-
forcement agents is higher than
that of soldiers in the World War,
Wayne B. Wheeler, Anti-Saloon
League counsel, declared here be-
fore Senate Appropriations Com
mittee, urging better pay for en-
forcement field agents.
Wheeler said their work was be-
ing made more dangerous by the
wet propaganda now in circulation
to encourage law-breakers.
Less than one half of one per
cent of the men under arms in the
war lost their lives" he said "A
larger per cent of the men who do
the field work in gathering this evil
dence have been killed.
when an organized attack is
made against the enforcement of
law neither money nor effort should
be spared to uphold the law"

COX KEEPS REIGNs
OVER DEMOCRATS
Reorganization Meeting Called
Feb. II; White Likely to
Remain Chairman

Washington. Feb. a. George
White, chairman of the Democratic
National Committee, announced the
appointment of an Executive Com
mittee and fixed February II as the
time of a meeting to be held in
Washington to plan a reorganiaz-
ton of the National Committee.
AS result Of this development,
it was generally accepted here that
Mr.. White will remain as chairman
of the National Committee until
such time as the forces behind him
see fit to relinquish control of the
party. This means that the friends
Of former Gov. James M. Cox, Ohio,
will remain in the saddle for the
present at least.
McAdoO Reported Seeking Reins
There have been various reports
that supporters of William Gibbs
McAdoo, former Secretary Of the
Treasury. and son-in-law of Presi-
dent Wilson had perfected plans to
obtain control of the Democratic
organization by assuming unpaid
debts and throwing Mr.. White and
other followers of Mr.. Cox into the
discard. If any such movement
was on foot, it apparently has fallen
through for the time.
The Democratic leaders who are
considered as among those friendly
to Mr.. Cox are stating now that
they are not worrying about the
financial position of the party and
asserting that all of the debts will
be handled without trouble.

Test Sweet Clover Seed

Sweet clover seed should never
be sown before first making a
termination test of the seed. This

but not hot in milk crock or Jar
covered with a plate or pan.

that is apparently as fine as can be
produced may contain SO per cent

Double Cropping IN Potatoes

ASOs4OAO SsVRRAs-8 - 1O~-~SS~~
i have been truck farming for the
past forty years and have develop
ed a fad for growing Irish potatoes
extra early and @ second or fall
crop on the same plot Of ground.
Here is the way I do It:
About two weeks before time to
plant the spring crop, the seed are
put in boxes or baskets and set in
4 warm place. near stove where
they will keep warm enough to
sprout them. In about two weeks
they are sprouting freely. They are
then taken out and cut so that one
strong sprout will be on each piece.
The ground, which has been pre-
viously plowed up deeply. thorough
ly pulverized and well fertilized
with rotted manure, is laid on in
rows feet apart; the seed is drop
pedy>16 inches apart in the rows
and covered with shallow furrow,
50 that the warm sunshine will
penetrate through the soil and
start the sprouts to growing. In
dropping care is taken not to break
on or injure the sprouts.
When they begin to peep through
the soil another furrow is thrown
over them. completely covering
them up. In a few days they are
coming through the soil again, and
II there is further danger of frost
coming they are again covered up
with turning plow. 1t does not
hurt to cover up the young vines
with soil, as they soon come
through again, but it ruins them to
get frostbitten down. Two good
civilizations are sufficient to make
this crop.
had new potatoes, of good eat
ing size. on my table the last Sun
day in April. that l grew by follow
ing this method.
These early potatoes are well
matured and ready to dig by the
middle of June. After they are
dug, enough seed is cut to plant the
same plot of ground to fall crop.
Some barrels are set in cool place,
some straw is placed in the bottom,
layer of dirt over the straw and a
layer of the cut potatoes, repeating
the operation until the barrel is
full, with layer of straw on top.
A bucket of water Is sprayed over
the top layer of straw each day, so
as to keep the seed moist. In three
to four weeks the seed are sprout-
ing we'll, and the same plot of
ground on which they grew is thor
oughly prepared and laid off in
deep burrows. 8 feet apart. = The
seed are dropped in these burrows
and covered with two burrows
thrown over them with a turning
pillow. This makes quite ridge,
covering them deeply, so they will
not come up too quickly and be
damaged by the hot summer sun.
When they begin to peep through
the soil the tops of the ridges are
narrowed off with a toothed har-
row and cultivation is begun and
kept up as long as is necessary to
keep down all weeds and grass.

Garden Making on Poor Soil

OnHuCu NhuAhuB Ou TOOT oOu
It sometimes falls to the lot of
some farmer to make a garden on
poor soil. Give him time and he
will make 1t good, but he can not
afford to wait for vegetables for his
family and 1t does not suit to grow
them in distant field. Very good
results can be had by manure.
Broadcast literally with manure
preferably from the horse barn, and
save some of the finest and some Of
the best rotted manure to work in
to the hills of melons and in the
furrow with most of the other vege-
tables. This kind of manure can
usually be scraped up in the stalls
and in the barn lot after the usual
cleaning has been done.
Then save the manure from the
poultry house to top dress the vege-
tables that especially need forcing.
BY this kind Of management good
vegetables can be grown on any
we'll drained soil and with farm
raised fertilizer except that some
acid phosphate should be used.
Take Care Of the Farm Implements

tional shed for livestock he would

rusts, and shortens its life by be-
ing left out in the cold snowy
weather. Regardless of how much
you scrub rusty plow in the
spring, It will not do as good work
as bright plow. By leaving plows
out during the winter the average
life in this section is about two
years. By housing and greasing to
prevent rusting, the average is
brought up to three years. and |
know of farmers who take care of
their plows and get six years Of
first-class service from them.
Turning plows, shovel plows,
disks, hoes and every kind of tool
or implement used on farm,
should be stored away and kept
bright and dry during the winter.
1t is just as important to look after
the farm machinery during the win
ter months as to look after the
livestock and will pay just about as
much dividend.

acre will give about FIVE seeds to
the square foot. This is enough to
give the good stands obtained by
men who say their experience is
that winter freezing makes more
seed grow.
These facts must not be taken as
an argument against winter and
early spring seeding. Any time af-
ter midwinter is good. Seed thresh-
ed in an ordinary clover or alfalfa
huller is subjected to more or less
scarifying in the mHchine and care
full tests show that more of such
seed will grow than of seed thresh-
ed in grain thresher.
