lamps, stoves, and kerosene and gas
oline.
Gasoline has come to play such an
important part in farm life that
special care should be taken to see
that it is not stored in inflammable
buildings, and is never opened in the
! presence of uncovered flame.
Fire Prevention week ends on the
semi-centennial of the Chicago Fire,
which occurring in a great city, the
traditional cause of this fire was one
which is liable to occur in the country
, the upsetting of lantern in stable.
If lanterns must be used in barns,
they should be kept in good condit-
| ion, set or hung in a safe place., and
never filled in the barn.
Numerous disastrous fires are
caused by thrashing machines, both
by scattered sparks and embers and
by dust explosions in the seperatOrs.
All smokestacks should have spark
arresters, and the ground around
the boiler should be kept clear and
wet down if necessary, Grain dust
explosions are largely preventable.
The United States Department OF
Agriculture has made exhaustive
studies Of the subject and is prep
ared to recommend adequate safe
guards.
Seriuos lasses are coused by sparks
from locomotives, which ibnite dry
wooden shingle roofs and start many
fires in straw, stubble, and grass
during dry seasons. If a railroad
runs through the farm, it will pay
to plow a few furrows along the
right of way as a fire break.
Kerosene lamps should be exam
ined to see that the burners are in
good condition, and should never be
left where they may be upset. Ker-
Osone and gasoline receptacles should
be kept apart and should be so diff
ferent as to avoid possibility of a
nj take.
Ordinary friction matches should
be kept in safe receptacles, away from
children, and never carried loose
Smoking in barns and garages never
should be permitted. Fire marshals
of Western States report greater
fire losses in grain and straw the past
season from carelessly throur
matches, engine sparks and automo
bile and tractor bockfres, then ever
before.
Buildings may be made safer by
seeing that the chimneys are with
out cracks and free of SCOT, which
may take fire and scatter sparks OF
dry roofs. Flues which may become
hot should be covered with asbesto
and any near by walls and ceiling
protected. There should be a shee
Of metal und1r every stove.
Out Of all the losses by lightning
not one was on building protecte,
by lightning rods. 1t is now definite
ly known that lightning rods affor,
projection. If installed intelligent!
they reduce the risk from lightning
almost to the vanishing point.
Public schools may well devote al
hour or afternoon to a special fir
prevention program. Some promin
ent citizen could be called in for ;
talk. Essays and, perhaps a playle
by the children would hel pimpress tn
matter on their minds. Some school
already have a weekly Is minut
lesson on fire prevention, The plal
~ is admirable.

are practicularly proper occasions
and fire prevention program. These
organizations frequently have a fire
insurance feature, and every fire loss
means larger premiums for the NUT
ual insurance associations.
The lesson of fire prevention
should be taken to every ruray home
and mommunity. Precautionary mea-
sures will do much to cut down a
loss that takes millions of dollars
out Of the. possession of rural Amer
leans every year and leaves nothing
in its place. Prevention is better than
regret.

GROWING POTATOES
UNDER IRRIGATION
(FrOm the Montana Farmer)


Many people are of the opinion
that the best quality potatoes can
not be grown under irrigation, but
Mr. F. J. Forbes and 1 have demon
strated to the satisfaction of our
selves and our customers that better
potatoes can be grown under irrigat-
ed land.
The quality of the irrigated potat-
oe depends almost entirely upon pro-
per methods OF culture. Brains and
intelligence are necessary in potatoe
culture as in any other business.
Potatoes just as mealy and firm may
be raised by proper irrigation as on
dry land, with the added advantage
of greater size and larger yields.
This year we have 25 acres Of
Melted Gems growing under the north
unit of the Priczly Pear irrigation
project near Helena, which have been
irrigated four times.
The selection of good seed plays a
ia~ge part III the production Of
high grade potatoes. Part of our
field is planted with certified seed
and the remainder is planted with
good seed potatoes of our own select
ion. We intend to raise Melted Gems
next year.
In the selection of our seed potat-
oes we usually choose specimens
weighing from ) to8 ounces, cutting
chem into four pieces of uniform
size. We treat the uncut seed with
a solution composed of four ounces
Of corrosive sublimate dissolved ir
30 gallons Of water. The corrosive
sublimate IS dissolved first in a lit
tie warm water before mixing ant
the seed is left in the solution fol
: so minutes.
The Importance of treating the seeC
cannot be overlooked. Not only th'
grade md quality of the potatoe.
but the size of the crop depends upol
the control of disease. The treatmen
mentioned above is the most effect
i've and is not very expensive.
We planted our potatoes this yea
on the first Of May. I might also sa!
that We took no note as to the con
dition of the moon at the time as w
have little faith in "moonshine". Tn,
potatoes were blind cultivated thre,
times and have been cultivated thre,
times since that. The first cultivation
was May 18.
One of the most important thing
in raising the best quality of potat
oes under irrigation is proper hilling
We kept the rows well hilled up 81
that the bitches are actually below
the rtbers and they get their mO;s5
ure through the small roots which eX
tend downward toward the moist sol
, In this way the tubers never com
in direct contact with the water an
take only as much as they need. w
hilled our potatoes twice before tn
! first irrigation and twice after.
6 We irrigated first on July Z an
have irrigated four times since thai
Our soil contains considerable grave
& and the subsoil in conglomerate.
3 produces the best quality of potateo
q grown, also the best alfalfa and pea
3 thus making an excellent rotation {
2 crops.
g We expect our potatoes to yiel
2 much better than the average Mon
q ana crops.

Open Season for
Treasure Hunting |

Papeete, Tahiti, Nov. 19.-The year
1921 has been the open season for !
treasure hunting in the islands. Every |
month or 30 report that the vast
treasure talleged to have been buried
some 60 years ago) on the Islands Of
Pinaki had at last been located, has
induced pew company of adventur-
Gus Papeete capitalists to equip al
fresh expedition only to return with
nothing more TIM a goodly coat of
sunburn apd back aching from the
strenuous exercise of digging for
weeks in the blistering coral sand.
Then, early in the year, came the
yacht "Gehesee" from New York in
search of la great treasure of gold,
said to haYe. been left on the island of
Tupai Manu-, in the western Societies,
by the German Pacific squadron when
they were flying from the pursuing
British and Japanese fleets in 1914.
Much real estate on Tupai-Manu flew
into the fframent, on that occasion,
/ under the action of good charges of
dynamite;' y but the "Genesee" sailed
away leaving the treasure to be dis
coved by. a, future explorer. And now
there is a, story of new treasure.
The tale Il, that about 80 years ago
a Chilean twarship deposited on the
island oftNoorea (the island close by
Tahiti) a treasure of gold belonging
to the Chilean government of that
timc-as al measure to keep it from
| falling intd the hands of strong rev.
| olutionary party. The revolution
must have been successful; for none
returned to take away the gold, the
story runs Years afterwards, how
| ever, the Protestant missionary at
Moorea received letter from priest
in Chile enclosing an outline drawing
easily recognized as the outline of the
mountain peaks about Opunohy Bay
in Moorea,, asking for information of
the location of the island so repre-
sented, and stating that he had knowl-
edge of a treasure buried there. The
missionary having visions of ungold-
ly adventurers corrupting his flock
decided to lear up the letter and draw
ing without dispatching the answer.
Nothing more was heard of the af-
fair until q month ago when a stran-
ger arrived in the island bearing
charts and drawing, which, he claim
ed, would lead him to the treasure.
Reports from Moorea state that, at
the placeYndicated on his chart, on
digging down, he came upon con-
crete slap and great was the ecite-
ment until the slab was broken
through ami cavity, about three feet
in depth, vtas disclosed containing alb
solutely nothing. The seeker is, how
ever, hopeful and is hard at work dig
ging and s. Aundine in the valleys about
the bay.

First Report of Committee

Atlanta, Ga, Nov. 20.-At the third
ANNUAL, coSyention of the American
Farm BUREAU here tomorrow six ma
tional cooperative marketing commit
tees will bting before the farmers of
America their first reports on the
growing cooperative movement. These
committees, represent the wool, grain,
live stock, fruit, dairy and vegetable
growing industries. These commit
tees, appointed within the last year
by President J. r. Howard, of the
American Farm Bureau Federation,
are forming national selling agencies
through which individual farmers pool
their products. Forty-six states will
have state representation.
ThisSwill be perhaps the first time
in history that farmers have met ma
tionally to consider as national prob
lem, the marketing of Americas food
supply. Taxation, transportation
tariff, banking, disarmament and
finance are other subjects that hold
place on the program. Experts in
their lines have been called in to dis
cuss these subjects.
Another innovation in the move
ment for better agriculture is the en-
listment Of women in farm bureau
work. Each state will send its dele
gtaion of farm women to outline a
program for the organization of farm
women in national way. In no other
nation in the world have farm women
organized.
Address Of welcome will be extend
ed to the delegates from the 46 state
federations by Governor T. w. Hard
wick and James IL. Key, mayor of
Atlanta. .-.---- ...--.
The three days program will be of
ficially opened tomorrow afternoon by
President James r. Howard.
Among the prominent men who will
address the convention are Secretary
of Agriculture Henry C. Wallace, SEN
ator Arthur Capper, Bernard M. Ba-
ruch and Senator w. s. Kenyon.
The economic side Of agriculture
will be particularly dealt with in the
addresses Of Senator Arthur Capper
and Bernard M. Baruch. Secretary
Henry C.. Wallace, of the Department
of Agriculture will speak on "The
Agricultural Outlook"

THE WAR TAXES.

There is complaint about the bur
den of war taxes and there will be
such complaint for many years tc
come. There is also complaint about
the long time it takes for business tc
get back to normal.
While you are making your COM
plants, try to keep these facts in
mind:
The war was tremendously ex-
pensive thing. All the nations wen;
into debt in order to pay their share
of the cost of the war.
The war was not only expensive
but it was destructive. 1t stopped the
creation of wealth for the time being
and it destroyed wealth already ex
isting.
A few individuals may be richer be
cause of the war but the world as /;
whole is vastly poorer.
Now the nations will have to pa,
the cost Of the war and will alsC
have to replace or pay for the wealth
that was destroyed urIng the war.
And all this is going to take lona
tire. Congress will be levying taxe
to pay for the world war when al
the people now living are dead and il

Alaska Forest Rangers
Travel by Motor Boat

A forest ranger who rides a motor
novelty in the Western States, but is
the rule in the Toneass National
Forest Alska. In report to the
Um,ed States Department Of Agri-
culture. of conditions there, z. y
sherman, associate forester, writes as
'ollows:
"The Tongas National Forest is
completely equipped with an admir-
able system of waterways. Here, in
stead Of saddle and pack horse, tho
ranger rides seagoing motor boat
He guides his steed by means Of 6
wheel instead of reins; feeds it gaso
line instead of oats; tethers it. at
night with an anchor in some shcit.
cred cove instead of with a picket
rope in n mountain meadow. and uses
the paint brush in lieu of a curry
comb"
Rangers in that national forest
travel in couples, two men to eacf
motor boat. The boat is staunch
sea-worthy craft, 35 to 40 feet long
equipped with % horsepower engines
and with fully inclosed cabin anC
pilot house. Except when they are
at headquarters or actually at work il
the woods. the rangers eat, sleep anc
live on their boats.
Summer is the busiest season.
Mr.. Sherman reports. "Their day i:
not an S-hour day, but usually II
or a 20-hour day, with only one mar
actually on duty while the boat i,
running. The ranger is just a.
proud of his boat as the Bedouir
horseman is of his steed, and the
ranger boats in Alaska are the most
distinctive craft sailing the waters OF
the Alexander archipelago"

Tiflis Dreary and Terrible


Staff Correspondent of The Associat-
ed Press).-Tifiis is city dreary by
day, terrible by night: The last city
OF Importance to come under the influ-
ence of the Bolshevik emblem of the
hammer and the sycthe, replacing the
double-headed eagle of the empire,
here are contrasted the happy old
days of gaiety and prosperity with
the dull misery Of the new regime.
At the railway station, on entering
the city, the difference is seen and
felt. Instead of staggering guards
in black boots, black long coats and
fiahsing silver belts and swords, are
seen few addressed Red soldiers,
looking hungry and uncomfortable in
ill-fitting clothes held together by a
loose belt. Barefooted, dirty, white
faced, ragged boys clamor for a
chance to carry baggage.
Peasant women and bourgeoise wo-
men of the old time stagger along un-
der loads of baggage or packages of
food and fruit brought from the
country. Broken down hacks wait
for fares. pulled by thin, underfed
horses.
The streets are dirty and ill-swept,
full Of holes.
People wear clothes that seem to
belong to another era. Here where
n dozen tongues are spoken and
where 100 tribes used to gather in the
proud finery Of their national cos
tunes, all is down at the Shesi.J.
Women often 30 stockingless.
Their shoes show signs of patches
done over and over again until they
are composed of patches only. Their
skirts may be Of old pieces of silk
and their jackets of military cloth
or even the black leather of aviator
coats. Shawls have replaced hats.
The men civilians wear clothes
that are parody on shabby gentility.
Their top boots are alltop, the soles
and heels long since worn away. All
sorts of military odds and ends, from
all the armies of Europe, contribute
to their dress, khaki puttes, yellow
leather jackets, British canvas trous-
ers, French blue caps, United States
army coats.
The stores are boarded up, for the
most part and when open surely have
a few bottles of French or Italian
perfumes and little else. A pair of
American shoes. of poor quality, was
seen in one window, marked 100000
rubles, an incredible sum of money in
city where monthly salary of
Soviet employ is 5000 to 5000 rubles.
Small trading is done on the mar
ket place, where starving families
sell off finery and jewelry which es-
capped the wrecks of their homes.
These homes, once 80 comfortable
and bountiful in hospitality, are cold
for lack Of fuel, dreary for Lack Of
food, often curtainless, with here and
there bullet marks on the outside
walls. The toilets and baths are use
less, because the city water supply is
cut off for lack Of fuel.
The Red army in occupation has
orders from Moscow to be "good to
Georgians and it is "good," yet it's
commanders go about with set, stern
faces as il the world was watching.
Cholera in summer, starvation in
winter, this is the lot Of Georgia.
