Data Relative to Sweet Potato

The sweet potato as you doubtless
soils, but it does best on a relatively
sandy type Of land. 1t is said that
sweet potatoes will grow on almost
any kind of soil and make a good
crop. There is a good deal of truth
In this statement. Nevertheless,
sweet potatoes respond we'll to proper
cultivation. This is probably due to
the fact that they are as rule
grown on thin and often sandy lands.
In our experience, the use Of sew
eral hundred pounds of fertilizer per
acre has proven advantageous. We
think it desirable to use a complete
fertilizer with this crop on the av-
erage land in this state. A very
good formula to use under sweet
potatoes is 3 1-2 of nitrogen, per
cent of phosphoric acid and per
cent of potash. You may cut the
nitrogen down to per cent and in
crease the phosphoric acid to 10 per
cent on very sandy land. AS a rule,
we use about 500 pounds of fertil-
izer under this crop on land Of the

THE. COUNTRY. FAIRS

The growth OF the country fair
idea is sign that the rural COM
munities have learned the value of
advertising. Though these fairs of
ten seem devoted largely to fun
and merrymaking, they would never
have been started, and people
would never have undertaken. the
enormous amount of work neces-
sary to carry them on, if it had not
been for the publicity motive.
People and communities that get
out superior products always want
to show them to the public The
same reasons that bring success to
the merchant who advertises his
wares persistently, will come to the
farmer who gets out standard pro-
duct and always takes it to the
country fair.
There ought to be general co
operation in all the towns of Prov,
ers county to maintain such fairs
as are necessary to display the pro-
ducts OF the district. If town is
not big enough to get up an agri
cultural fair of its own, it should
go in with others, and do it's part
to make the show success.
People come long distances by
automobile to these fairs now
They go to their homes and report
that this or that place had won
derful display. The idea spreads
that the town and county that pre-
sents fine exhibition is center
of rural progress. Young people
and Others like to get into place
that is thus going up grade.
The work of conducting these
fairs should not be left on the
shoulders OF few people. Even il
people don't get many premiums
on their stuff, everyone who pro
duces anything should take pride
in having something worthy of ex-
hibit, and should take the trouble
to place it on show. Many rural
people have found that their dis
play at the fair was a tremendous
help toward their success. The
business men of community
should give all possible help, as
they will profit by any gains the
farmers. make in this way.

The state rangers stationed at La
Junta are now engaged in rounding
up all violators OF the highway law
with regards to DINNERS On auto
mobiles at night. Last Sunday
night they arrested thirty drivers
who failed to use DINNERS when
meeting another vehicle and they
are going to keep up the campaign
until drivers use more care in this
matter The new highway law re-
lating to DINNERS is as follows:
All motor driven vehicles, as de-
fined in this act. operated upon the
public highway shall be equipped
with DINNERS. Search, spot and
other lights shall be turned off up
on the approach Of another vehicle
and shall not be turned on until
after the approaching vehicle is
passed. Provided, however, that it
shall not be necessary to turn off
search or spot lights II they are
directed So as to prevent their di-
rect light from falling on the left
three-quarters of the road and at a
distance greater than 30 feet in
front of the car to which it is at
tached."
The law in such instances pro.
vides that anyone found guilty
shall be punished by fine of not
more than $500 or by imprisonment
in the county jail for not more than
thirty days or by both fine and i'm
prisonment." Bent County Demo

LABOR DAY THOUGHTS

The original idea of Labor Day
was that 1t would serve to impress
the world with the dignity of labor.
the power of the laboring forces of
the world, and attract interest to
the efforts Of the wage earning
classes to improve their condition.
AS nearly everybody works in
these times, no one element OF peo.
pie can claim to to be the 'labOring
class" But vast mass OF. wage
earners have always had hard
struggle in life. Labor day was orr
ginally established to attract at
tentiOn to their cause, and give
them a chance to demonstrate their
unity and express their ambitions.
This side of the. holiday is mostly
ignored, but such sentiments under
lie the occasion.
The question of how to advance
the interests Of this mass Of wage
earners is the biggest problem that
society has to solve The world is
not right so long as so many people
have to live in unwh0lesome sur.
roundings with little prospect OF
advancement.
If people are indolent and thrift
less, if they are subject to vices. If
they are burdened with too large
families they must always find life
a struggle. But the majority OF
wage earnes are not thus respon.
sible for their difficulties. Their
worst handicap is lack of education
and training that shall enable them
to do skilled work.
The working masses can not bet
ter their condition by class warfare.
What is needed is better facilities
for technical training, so that every
wage Garner shall be a skilled pro
ducer capable of earning something
more than mere living wage.

PUBLICITY

The man or the business that ex-
poets to make its way by selling
anything to the general public, has
a campaign of education to conduct.
People will buy a product. or
visit place or business in search
of merchandise, on any considerable
scale, unless they know about the
goods or the service that is offered.
To get the crowd coming you have
to tell people what you have or
what you do. A great many hard
working and faithful people, who
by honesty and diligence fully de
serve success, have failed to get
results, because they persisted in
doing business on the narrow and
antiquated old lines without publ.
city.
People will not buy product. or
know about, they patronize the
people that seem to show the most
enterprise and push. To give that
impression Of hustle, and to convey
the information that people seek
as guide to their purchasing,
some consistent plan for advertising
a business is necessary. No other
element is more essential in the
struggle for success.

Fruit Trees Ready for Third
Spraying Now.

Wisconsin fruit trees are ready for
the third foliage spray right now.
Realizing that only through careful
applications of sprays used at the
right time can good crop of I'M
blemished fruit be obtained. Grow
ers of the state are planning to fol-
low closely their spray calendars this
year, says F. R. Clifford, fruit spec
ialist, College of Agriculture.
"Indications point to an apple
crop that rivals last years record"
says Mr.. Clifford. "The deciding
factor is largely the extent to which
the trees will be sprayed. Upon this
also depends the extension of the
reputation of Wisconsin's fruit grow
ing areas. Consumers are more and
more demanding sprayed fruit"
For the spray which should be ap
piled, fruit growers use n gallons
of lime sulphur, 1 "A pounds of pow
cred lead arsenate to SO gallons of
water, Mr.. Clifford explained today.
The application is due ten of fifteen
days after the second or calyx spray.
Since leaves and fruit are contin-
ually growing, and new leaves are
constantly producing new areas
which are unsprayed, it is essential
that trees must be, sprayed on time
to prevent attacks by various insects.
Spray cherry, apple, plum, currants
and gooseberries at this time, and
cover every inch of area from all
sides.
Cooling moths, which produce
wormy apples, will soon lay their
eggs and the worms will hatch in a
short time," continues Mr.. Clifford.

plum is at his worst just now, and
more of the pests are Matching.

When she was arraigned before City
Judge Bernstein. in Special Sessions,
she denounced her arrest as an outrage
and asserted that her father provides
her with $4,000 year spending money.
Miss Davis said her mother was Mrs.
Irene Davis. OF Sos West 139th street
and that II any further information was
wanted the Mount Vernon police might
telephone to Miss Falk at SAG West
Eighty-sixth street. The latter, she said,
was a sister of Adolph Falk who for
merly was identified with the Guggen-
helm interests. Miss Davis was released
after her mother appeared In court.
At the West l39th street house last
night Mrs. Irene Davis verified the
daughters statement that her father Is
John Davis and that he is In Paris Mrs
Davis said she and Mr.. Davis are d.
vorced. The same story was told at the
Falk residence.
