Growth of Red Cross Life Saving
Corps throughout the country con-

year, summary of the years
achievements by that Red Cross Serv-

THROW LIGHT ON
POTATO GROWING
Information Regarding One Of
Americas Largest and Most
Distinctive Crops.
MANY QUESTIONS ARE ASKED
Bureau Of Plant Industry Has Con-
Quoted Series Of Experiments IN
Tuber Growth of Much Inter.
est to Growers.
(Prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)

(Prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
How do potatoes grow?
Why do some vines produce many
tubers and others only a few?
Do big pieces produce better po-
tatOeS than small pieces?
When does the tuber begin to form!
When does moisture have the most
effect on the production Of pOtatoesF
What is the relation of soil TO potato
production?
Experiments Conducted.
These are a few among many ques-
tions which have been asked about the
growth and yield 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 De-
partment of Agriculture, has con-
Quoted a series of experiments in
potato growth, the results of which
are published in department Bulletin
958, Development of Tubers in the
Potato. which Las just been issued.
The information contained is of in
terest not only to the plant physiol-
ogist but also to the practical grower,
as a knowledge of the relation of the
setting and subsequent development
of tubers CT the potato may, to a
certain extent, be put to practical USE
Tuber formation, it was found, be-
gins I'm general at about the end of
the period of flower bud development,
although this is not in all cases an
exact criterion. Experiments showed
that the number, as well as the size,
of potatoes in a hill increased for
several weeks after the first potatoes
were large enough to dig. A small
increase in the weight of tubers was
found to occur even after the vines
had been killed by frost. The maxi
mum rate of growth of the tubers was
found to occur about the last of Au-
gust or first of September, which was
approximately so 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
quarters, and the larger the seed
piece the greater 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 appar-
emily light soils are better for pota-
toes than heavy soils. The lowest

Freak of Nature.

There are plenty of people who firm
ly believe that a man has one less rib
than a woman, because of the sacri-
flee required of Adam when Eve was
created. Observation of human skel-
Atons fails to confirm this idea.
But how about the Arab horse?
Why does it lack vertebra.
All other horses have "a vertebrae
in their backbone the Arab has only

This shortness of the Arab horses

PRODUCTIVE FARM LAND

In a general sense, productive
farm land is land that is used
to produce crops, to pasture
animals, or to furnish a supply
of fuel, timber, maple sugar, or
other profitable forest products.
Nonproductive land isthat pOr-
ton of a farm which is taken
up by the farm buildings, by
lanes and roads that are unnec-
essary, fence rows that are too
wide, open bitches, headlands,
swamps, rocks, ravines, slOughs,
and streams, or pasture land
that does not economically sup
port live stock. Farmers Bull

portion of the successful competitors.
Now that the Indian farmer has
been discontinued in this district Col.

WAS THE NElGHBOR'S CHICKEN
Incident That Was Embarrassing, A..
though It Also Had an Anus
ina Side to It.

Some years ago, while living in the
suburbs, we kept few chickens: our
neighbors also had chickens. After
the garden season was over we let
them run, as did our neighbors. In
this way | suppose they got more or
less mixed.
one day / decided to have n chicken
for dinner. and not liking to kill 1t
myself-my husband being away
asked our neighbor If he would kill
II for me. He kindly consented so !
brought out the particular fowl l had
selected. He killed 1t, and l thanked
him and proceeded to prepare it for
dinner.
When dinner was over I went out
to feed the chickens. What was nv
surprise to find among them the fowl
| thought l had just eaten. 1t was my
neighbor's chicken had asked him to
kill for me.
OF course, | lost no time in making
apologies-and also insisted that they
take ours instead, and they had a

HELPING OUT SHORT
PASTURE IN SUMMER
Stock Raisers Face Inconveni-
ence and Stock Loss.
There Is Only One Remedy Where
Vast Herds Are Kept and That 10
to Practice System Of Deferred
and Rotation Grazing.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of AgricultureD
Stock raisers, especially In the
Southwest, often, at this season Of the
year, face much Inconvenience and
probable loss of cattle through the
shortage of pastures. In other sec
tions, where smaller herds and areas
are involved, the summer pasture stu
alton can be met in various ways, say
specialists of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture. Among the
ways are the sowing of catch crops
for summer forage or temporary pas
lures. But, with ranges running into
thousands of acres, with vast herds
grazing, there is only one remedy and
that is to put into practice a system
of deferred and rotation grazing.
Such n system will necessitate the
division of the range into separate
pastures. keeping the cattle off of one
pasture each year until the seeds of
the native grasses are mature, at
which time cattle may be turned to
Craze. In this manner the growth of
grass is utilized and the grass seeds
are trampled into the soil, which is
necessary to termination. BY sys-
tematic rotation each pasture may be
allowed to reseed once in each three
to five years, as desired.
Where ranges are heavily stocked
in the beginning of such a system, it
may be necessary to transfer part
of the herd to other ranges, but the
ultimate result will be an increase in
the carrying capacity of the range, as
has been shown In various experiences
in the Southwest. OverstOcking should
be avoided in every instance.
