CENTURY BONDS
STILL OWED IN VA.
Eighty-two Millions Paid and
Amount Outstanding Is
$21, $685. SOFAS.

RICHMOND. Va, Nov. 1s.-March
19 of next year will mark the cen.
tennial of Virginia's initial issue Of
bonds for public improvements, the
total outlay for that purpose being
s33. 900 900. that being the sum as
of January 1, 1861. When the bonds
were issued what is now West Vir-
ginia was a part of the Old Domin-
ion. One-third of that debt was as
signed to West Virginia. and she has
been made to pay that by decree of
the United States Supreme Court.
Getting down to the present. how
ever. the books in the office of the
second auditor show that on October
/ of this year the State of Virginia
owed just s21. .65S. .607.45. and on this
she is paying interest. Since the
debt was first created Virginia has
been paying interest 100 years. the
total in October / on this account
reaching s67 .20S. .564.29. and on the
S14,S64, ,3S316. This makes a total
of interest and principal paid up to
October l of this year of $S2 2.O63.
74s.45. and there is still due by the
State-bonds for that amount out
standing-s21. .658 .607.45.
Much of this money appropriated
by the State went for roads, canals
and the like. and it was expected
that from these would be derived
the revenue for liquidating the OBJ
legation years and years ago. These
facts have been collected by persons
who are afraid Of bond issues for
anv purposes. afraid of extra sessions
of the legislature and afraid of con-
stitutional conventions.

VAGARIES OF VACUUM TUBES
Peculiar Actions That Always Astonish
and Sometimes Brighten the
Amateur Radioist.

Everybody who has had anything to
do with vacuum tubes has from time
to time had them do unexpected things
and give results that at the moment
seem beyond explanation.
The explanation Of several charac-
teristics of these miniature giants
which are met with in daily operation
Is sure to prove Of great interest to
the amateur. In cases where the ac-
lions Of the tube are not understood
these peculiarities have sometimes
frightened people.
One instance of a newborn fans
fright was brought to attention in a
letter of inquiry. The instrument had
just been set up and was being oper-
ated for the first time. The tubes had
been firmly adjusted and were just at
the spilling point and-over they went,
giving vent to the most unearthly
sounds. The embryo enthusiast who
looked upon the audion tube as an
electric light, thought it was going to
explode. He jumped away from the
instrument and out of the room, and
did not venture near it for several
hours, and then only after reaching
round the corner of the door with a
long stick and pulling the battery
switch off.
Similar instances have come to at
tention when bulbs generate vari-col-
,ored yapors in the vacuum chamber.

Interest In Crow /.
ing Seed Plots is
Increasing Rapidly

Last year a large number Of farm
ers grew potato seed plots varying
in size from a few rows to an acre.
This year more are realizing the
necessity of producing better seed,
and large percentage Of potato
growrs are planting specially Sc
lected seed on ground broken from
alfalfa, from which they expect to
get seed for next years planting.
Due to potato diseases that are
gaining hold in this country, many
farmers suffered heavy losses last
season which will become greater.
every year unless farmers maintain
a higher standard by improving
their seed. Most important diseases
found in Bingham county are
fusarium wilt, Blackleg, Mosaic,
Curly Dwarf, rhizoctonia and sea-.
Rhizoctonia and scab can be held lin
check by dipping in corrosive sub',-
mate and we find that large per-
centage of farmers are dipping this
year. Fusarium wilt and blackleg
may be partly eliminated by discard
ing affected tubers in cutting, but
cannot be fully controlled in this
manner. Fusarium wilt, blackleg,
mosaic and curly dwarf, can be de-
tected in the field during the grow
ing season and the affected vines
must be pulled out before the tubers
form, or the entire hill removed
after tubers are formed.
The county agent will hold field
meetings in every potato growing
community this season to assist
farmers in identifying diseased
plants and to show what to rogue
out of seed plots. At least two
demonstrations are planned in each
place, one early in the season be-
fore tubers are formed, and one be-
fore the vines wilt down: Hill Sc
lection will be taken up at that time.
Seed plots can be planted later
than the main crop, so there is
plenty Of time left to plant seed
plot. Every potato grower in Bing-
ham county should have a seed plot
and endeavor to produce high yield
ing, uniform, disease free potatoes.

USE THOSE GULL POTATOES
This TELLS YOU HOW

You have heard a lot about pO-
tato silage before. So have /, but
when the papers were full of it sew
eral years ago, it was purely theore-
teal. The food experts said: do
it," but based their advice on prac-
tices in Europe, or other far-away
places.
/ always took the advice half
heartedly, for never had seen po-
tato silage, nor heard first-hand Of
anybody who had tried the concoc-
ton. When I learned that H. G..
Larsen, Minnesota, was making 81
lage with good results, I desided to
find out all about it. This is the
story I got:
Some potatoes are small, some
scabby, some damaged at digging
time. Sometimes there is a surplus
of old potatoes in the spring. The
potatoes that are unfit for market
can be turned into one of the very
best feeds for hogs and cattle by
making silage out of them. know,
and speak from experience.
This isn't a new invention nor
my own recipe, it has been in use In
Denmark for years. The prize bacon
which brought dancy price on the
British market for years, was made
largely from potato silage. So, 4
decided that what would make prize
bacon for q Dane would make just
as good bacon for an American. l
tried the experiment. We had a
surplus of old potatoes in the spring,
and no market for them"
The outfit used by Mr.. Larsen was
simple-root cutter, six vinegar or
syrup barrels, and sack of corn
meal. Cornmeal is put into tub
and enough water is added to make
it ferment. This is done several
| days before the silage is made. This
serves as starter for the potatoes,
for they will not sour alone. Two
to five per cent of cornmeal is
added. Barrels are made ready by
cleaning, potatoes are scrubbed to
remove dirt, rotten potatoes are re-
moved, tubers are run thru the cut
ter and a bushel of ground spuds is
put in the bottom of barrel, few
handfuls of fermented meal are
added, then more spuds, more meal
and so on till the barrel is filled
Pack firmly and put heavy piece
Of wood on top to weight the silage

the silage settles, put chaff or straw
over the top to keep out air. In

TIPS TO THE RADloIsT

Fired % caliber rifle shells
make good switch points for tun-
ing coils and receiving trans
formers.
A single wire aerial 100 to
$50 feet long is sufficient for
local and long distance reception
of broadcasting stations.
Do not string aerials across
the street or across electric
wires. Keep antenna wires off
electric light and telephone
poles.
Stranded copper or solid cop
per wire should be used. Phos-
phor bronze wire If obtainable
is stronger but not superior to
copper.
Good contact with piece Of
mineral like galena can be had
by wrapping 1t in tinfoil. Of
course, the top Of the crystal
is left exposed.
The brass ends Of large car
fridge shells make splendid
crystal detector cups. They
should be cleaned out thoroughly
before they are used.
The winding of cardboard
tubes from oatmeal boxes may
be improved greatly if the tube
is first heated in an oven for
about Is minutes to take out
the moisture and then wound;
or better still shellac 1t while
it is still warm and leave it
to soak in.
In winding tuning coils with
bare wire a thread should be
wound on with the wire. This
will separate each turn. When
the coil is finished the thread
can be taken of. Shellac should
be applied Immediately. When
the shellac is dry the copper
wire will hold its place.
