BIG PROFITS ARE
OFFERED GROWERS
OF SEED POTATOES
Urges Movement to Increase
Acreage and to Standardize
ize Varieties In County.
BY l.. c. BIRD.
County Agricultural Agent.

Great opportunities are held out
for a few farmers in St. Joseph
county who are interested in the
seed potato business. During the
last few years, heavy calls have been
made on Wisconsin, Michigan and
Minnesota for seed stock. While il
is true that we cannot here COM
pete with these states on early seed
potatoes, il has been clearly demon
strated that we can equal or excel
on late seed. If five or six growers
interested in Improvement of seed
would be developed in this territory
very profitable return could be
made and the commercial growers
of northern Indiana would be able
TO secure native seed without going
out and paying excessive freight
rates for foreign stock. 1t ought TO
be possible for st. Joseph county
growers TO furnish a large part OF
the Indiana late seed potatoes.
BY carefully selecting the stock
and freeing it from the fungous di-
seases which are common 10 the
crop, excellent seed could be pro-
uuOtu d. a. MAJ = AZ VI Nv NNAANo WV
what common stock is worth. The
farm bureau has had calls this
spring for several carloads of this
quality seed which we were COM
PEELED TO turn down because we
could not guarantee stock TO be free
from disease and selected seed. Right
at this time good disease free, select
ed, Rurals could be sold for $3.50 a
bushel which would pay a premium
over the price of common seed
stock.
To make this enterprise effective,
il is necessary 70 start 9Th just five
or six earnest men who can agree on
varieties and cooperate in marketing
their produce. At present, so many
different varieties are offered that il
is practically impossible TO load a
car and feel certain that hut one
variety is contained therein.

HEALTH STUNTS
CAN YOU Do THEM?

Use a broom handle with the
broom part sawed of, as a wand for
this stunt
Grasp the wand tightly with both
hands Raise your arms over your
head, stretching them out as far as
you can. Bring your right leg
back as far as possible without
bending the knee Hold this posi-
ton for a few minutes, and then
bring your right leg down to the
floor and yoEr arms down. Repeat
the stunt using your left leg instead
of the right. This is good TO use
as "stretcher" when you feel tired.
Shadow boxing is all sorts OF fun
and good exercise. Clear a space
big enough 10 allow freedom of
movement Then, strike out just as
YOU would If you were hitting at a
real opponent Do some fast dodg-
ing, too.
Shuttle your feet and jump around
a lot-move quickly. Keep this up
till you begin to feel a little tired

in birdland
The house wren is one of the most
desirable feathered neighbors and
one Of the easiest birdfolk TO attract.
They love to nest in any form OF
house, and l have seen a capita
wren house made out Of an old
grape basket, Gig. p. But almost
any form OF bird house will do for
the wren, providing the entrance
hole is not more then seven-eighths
OF an inch in diameter
A hole any larger will permit the
entrance of English sparrows. and

Don't Need a Perch.
It is best not TO have a perch be-
fore the door Of the wren house
Then wren doesn't need il. and if one
is there the sparrows are liable 10
sit on the perch and plague the nest
ing mother bird inside, or fight off
the male bird. so that the wren fam
lily will soon become discouraged
and quit the house.
A very desirable bird TO induce to
live in the yard is the purple martin.
These birds delight 10 live in colo

Here are some dont's for bird

paper for roofing or Sidewalks; It
draws the heat and birds do not like
