WAY TO PLANT IRISH POTATO
icrcp Not Particularly Adapted 20
Small Gardens and Requires
WeII-Prepared Soil.

While Irish potatoes are not adapt
ed to growing In the extremely small
garden, most gardeners prefer to In
clude them in their list. One peck Of
seed Irish potatoes will plant about
300 feet Of row. It seldom pays to
plant homegrown seed and it Is much
better to use the homegrown pota-
toes on the table and purchase seed
that has been produced in some local
ity especially adapted for seed grow
ing. Potatoes require well-pre-
pared, rich soil, and it pays to use
commercial fertilizer, well mixed with
the soil Of the hills or the rows. The
seed should be cut two eyes to
each piece, with plenty Of potato at
tached. One piece should be planted
in each hill and covered to a depth Of
about Sh or 4 inches. The rows
should be at least 80 inches apart and
the hills II to Is inches apart In the

HIGHWAYS ARE FLEECE LINED
Bseauss Cotton 10 % Cheap. Ranch
men Of California and Arizona
Zee IL on Reada.

Fleece-lined roads for getting motor
lists over desert sands have recently
made their appearance and have sur
prised a great many motor tourists
travelling through certain sections Of
California and Arizona, says the Il
Illustrated World. There Is such low
market value upon cotton In certain
sections that 1t scarcely pays to
haul 1t to the railroad stations. Much
that Is raised. therefore, goes into the
making of roads.
Ranchmen Of the Salt River valley
Of Arizona are doing with cotton just
what farmers In other sandy sections
do with straw or brush. Cotton Is
simply thrown down upon the road
over stretches where the sand Is an
noying. Traffic ever the road then
packs the cotton down into the sand
until 1t forms a firm, smooth and re-
silent surface, over which motor
vehicles may progress with almost as
much ease as over paved street In
G city.

SQUASHES IN HOME GARDENS
smaII-Growlno PIants Are Best Suited
for Average GsFden--use While
Young and Tender.

Two distinct types Of squashes are
commonly grown In home gardens
the summer squashes, the fruits Of
which are used while they are young
and tender, and the fall and winter
squashes, which are ripened and used
during the winter months. The small
growing summer sQuashes are best
adapted to planting in the average gar
den. The larger, or standard, varie-
ties are better adapted to field culture
although one or two hills might be
planted in a corner or along one side
of the garden. The hills in which sum-
mer squashes are grown should be
fully four feet apart and little ina
nure and fertilizer should be worked
into each hill as it is being made.

LAND CLEARING
AGAIN. IN SPRING
MANY FARMERS TO CON-
TINUE CLEARING
Brush Patches are Growing
Smaller Each Year and Fine
Farms Are Taking the Place
Of the Stump.

Many of the farmers and settlers
in the Mason district are making
plans for war on the brush line
again this year and as soon as the
ground becomes dry enough to per-
nit this work it. will be started and
the cannhnading from exploding
dynamite which means q stump in
the air every time will resound
through the White river valley.
The brush line, which in former
years extended right up to the edge
of the village of Mason and which
extended through the towns of Ma
son, Lincoln, Kelly, Pilsen and Eileen
is rapidly becoming smaller and
smaller and fine farms are taking
the place of the white pine stump.
The wealth of the region, which
was formerly considered rich when
covered with standing timber, is
increasing year by year as the lands
are turned into fertile acres, and wild
acres which were formerly covered
with brush are now giving pasture
to herds of valuable dairy cows.
There is no better farming region
anywhere in the United States than
that to be found in the Mason dis
trict and the lands are rapidly be-
ing taken up by the settlers.
1t will not be many years before
the entire region is dotted with farm
houses and farm. buildings and when
the stretch of fertile acres will be
continuous.

ROADS ARE
DRYING UP
AUTOMOBILE TRAFFIC HAS
BEEN RESUMED
Despite Thawing Shows the
Roads in This District are Be-
coming Passable Again for
Auto Traffic.

Traffic on routes "a to Ashland and
112 to Ashland Junction is again
passable, and automobile traffic
which has been tied up since the big
snow storm of last fall, is again in
swing, The snow was unusually
deep the past winter, but the roads
came through the spring thaws with
but little damage and are in fair
condition. On some of the town
roads the melting SHOWS and mud
has made the road extremely bad for
travel, but with the frost out of the
ground they are expected to dry up
rapidly with the warm sun and winds
of the spring.
One noticeable thing about the
roads is the fact that where they
have been top treated with sand
and gravel they have stood up we'll.
AS many of the roads in the Mason
district are clay roads the necessity
of gravel dressing has been demon
strated. In former years Route
"a to Ashland was always in extreme
ly bad condition in the spring but
since gravel coating was placed on
two years ago they now stand up
we'll through the spring thaws.

THE TENDENCY TO EXAGGERATE

The Rev MT. Abernathy the Presidents pastor in Washington, is reported have said in address delivered at Chicago:
 President Harding inherited a situation
 delicate, troublesome than has
 confronted any President since Lncoln's
 time.
 Why is it that public speakers often lose their Methodist Divine who became wrought up the death of President Mckinley that he said he was Americas greatest President not even excepting Washington and Lincoln.
 It-swill be conceded by a of course, that Pres- dent Hafdng fell heir to very difficult task-that Ee became President at time when problems delicate in their nature and of exceedingly weighy import remained to be settled.
 But the task that President Johnson inherited upon the death of President Lincoln ncomparably Lee had only surrendered a week before. Joe Johnston had surrendered Confederate troops still held practically undsputed sway in Texas. The country flooded with hirty-ce dollars French army in Mexico and swords points with England The reconstruction of the States lately in rebellion had not begun troubles of the Hard ing Administration have been of a very mild nature in comparison.
 And more difficult the task that had just been completed The greatest in which American people had been engaged fought before Pres dent Harding became President-and fought to sue an army of 4000000 men, sent half of it to Europe and brought it back and disbanded the army. It is not min mixing the very delicate grave and difficult task that has been presented to President Harding for fulfmcnt to admit that the country has faced far graver, delicate and difficult fore. As far possible let's avoid obvious ex- aggeration.

FARM CROPS WILL BE LARGE.

At least the gods have been good to the American farmers this year. The Agricultural Departments E June estimates, and the is now far ad- vanced that they may be accepted very nearly ac curate predict bCuntfu crops throughout the United States. The wheat crop will be the fourth largest in the history country, the total being S54 000 900 bushels. Notwithstanding that the wheat acreage is 100000 less than last year the yield will be 59,- 900 ,000 bushels greater.
 Forecasts of other crops show oats 1,305 ,0O0, 900 bushels barley 191 900 900 bushels rye S1 900 900 bushels hay 1O6 900 GOO tons. The apple and peach crop is also reported be far ahead of last year s production.
 The promise of abundance is that at least there will be no famine in the land and there will be a large surplus for exportation to Europe.
