Development of Tubers in the Potato
Recent Experiments Afford Much Information to Growers

ldig. A small increase in the weight
of tubers was found to occur even at
ter the vines had been killed by frost.
The maximum rate of growth of the
tubers was found to occur about the
last of August or first of September,
which was approximately 80 days al
ter 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 great
er the yield per hill. A whole potato
fused as seed yielded more than halt
or quarter potato of equal weight.
The experiment showed that appar-
emily light soils are better for pota-
toes than heavy soils. The lowest pro-
duction Of tubers, with respect to both
number and weight per hill, was on
the heaviest soil the highest numbers
and Yields were produced on the light
lest soil. The department experts deem
lit possible, however, that these results
might be modified somewhat under
different climatic conditions.
Two-year tests with irrigation nd1-
cate that the early application of water
before tuber formation had started re-
suited in an increase in the number
Iof tubers as we'll as in the weight per
hill. Late irrigation actually increased
the weight but made little difference
in the numbers of tubers per hill.

From Alabama Farm Facts.

How do potatoes grow?
Why do some vines produce many
tubers and others only lew!
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?
These are a few among many queS-
tons which have been asked about the
growth and yield of one of America
largest and most distinctive crops, and
which former observers have been able
to answer only incompletely. Experts
in the bureau of plant industry have
conducted a series of experiments in
potato growth, the results OF which
are published in department bulletin
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 set
ting and subsequent development OF
tubers of the potato may, to a certain
extent, be put to practical use.
Tuber formation begins in general
at about the end of the period OF flow
er bud development, although this IS
not in all cases an exact criterion. tx
periments showed that the number, as
well as the size, of potatoes in hill
increased for several weeks after the
first potatoes we're large enough to

TAFT AND WILSON
AS INVITED GUESTS
ON ACCOUNT OF PHYSICAL
CONDITION LATTER WILL
RIDE AT CEREMONY.

WASHINGTON.-The names OF
William H. TAFT and Woodrow Will
son, as ex-presidents of the United
States, have been placed next to that
of President Harding on the list of
invited guests to the ceremonies at
Arlington on November II, when the
American unknown dead will be hon
ored by the nation.
Other distinguished guests announc-
ed by Secretary Weeks include Vice
President Coolidge, the justices of the
supreme court, members OF President
Harding's cabinet, congressional lead
ers, members of the diplomatic corps,
delegates to the limitation OF arma-
ment conference, foreign military Of
| fcers of high rank, the governors OF
the states the heads OF veterans or
CARNATIONS, and representatives of the
| American Red Cross and other public
societies.
Since it became known that former
President Woodrow Wilson had been
officially invited to attend the cere-
monies speculation has been INDUCED
in concerning his ability to take part
There was never any thought of his
mot being invited but those i'll author
ity pondered long over whether to in
vite him to take part in the procession
which will pay homage to the unknown
dead. The program on Armistice day
calls for the president and members of
his cabinet marching as an escort for
the flag draped caisson carrying the
casket wherein reposes the unknown
dead soldier.
Obviously, Mr.. Wilson cannot
march in company with President
Harding and former President Taft
1t was felt that to ask the former pres
ident to ride in the procession while
the president of the United States was
on foot was hardly in keeping with the
situation either. Advices received from
Mr.. Wilson himself influenced the COM
mittee on arrangements in regard TO
the exact form of the invitation 1t is
believed now that Mr.. Wilson, if he
attends at all, will precede the cortege
to Arlington and take a position of
honor reserved for him in advance OF
the president and cabinet officers.

WAR
NOW RAGING IN u. S.
AN INCREASE OF 400 PER CENT
REPORTED DURING LAST SIX
YEARS. MILLION ADDICTS.

New York city, according to pr.
Carleton Simon, special deputy police
commissioner, has become the center
of an international fight against the
rapidly spreading drug evil. DIR. Simon,
in charge 'of the narcotic division OF
the New York police force, is getting
in touch with police departments all
over the world in his effort to stamp
out the habit. Already he has a picture
gallery of thousands OF addlcts.
Statistics Are Cited.
DIR. Simon is working to awaken
Americans to the peril of the spreading
vice" To do this he cites statistics,
estimating that there are in the United
States more than 100000 addicts to
opium, cocaine, heroin, morphine and
other drugs in their various phases.
Fourteen per cent of all persons ar
rested in New York city for felonleS
and more serious crimes are drug ad-
diets, and the photographs in DR.. 81
mons collection show more than oO
per cent with criminal records. There
have been more arrests and Convic-
tons in New York city so far this
wear than in the three preceding years.
New York, Detroit, St. Louis and
the northwest are chief arteries in the
traficking system, and large guam
tity of the raw product is brought into
the United States only to be exported
as the finished product. The genera
impression is that all our drugs are
imported rather than exported, but this
is not the case.
DR.. Simon SCOTS at the stories of a
master mind" controlling the drug
traffic in this country. Many of the
dope sellers do, however, work some
what together and follow the same
methods.
