Most Potato Growers Do Not
Appreciate Importance
of Proper Handling.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
The average Seed-potatO grower does
not fully appreciate the Importance of
using every means to prevent injury
to the tubers from rough handling dur
ing the process of harvesting and stor-
ing, says the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture. Mechanical in
juries to a tuber are sources for the
entrance of infection which rapidly
spreads to other tubers which come in
contact with the injured one. If the
crop Is grown on land which contains
many small stones the tubers are al
most certain to be more severely in
jured than when grown INA sandy
loan soil. Hand digging is not al
ways feasible, but Ii is believed that
where small stones abound in the soil
it will be desirable to harvest the
home seed plat by hand. Much injury
will be avoided If the seed stock de-
signed for planting the field plat for
the ensuing year is picked directly
into crates in which 1t is allowed to
remain throughout the storage period.
Proper Storage.
Storage conditions necessary to in
sure vigorous seed at planting time
are more easily provided in the North
than in the South In the former re-
gion well-constructed cellar, pit, or
cave serves reasonably well. The
main thing is to keep the room tenn
perature sufficiently low to retard
termination The ideal seed tuber Is
one which has not wasted any of its
stored-up energy by excessive loss
through sprouting. 1t should be firm
with the first sprouts just showing.
Such tubers can be depended upon, If
suitable conditions prevail, to start
quickly when planted and to make
vigorous growth.
Plans for Seed.
The general practice among South
ern growers Of securing seed from the
North involves, in the absence of suit
able storage conditions, one of two
things: Either getting the seed pota-
toes late in the fall and holding them
over in dugouts, pits, or cellars, with
consequent sprouting before planting,
or the risk of having the seed chilled,
frozen, or overheated while in transit
in midwinter In the opinion of de-

Only High Quality Eggs
Will Bring Top Prices

If eggs are dirty don't wash them,
because washed eggs deteriorate more
rapidly than unwashed, and detection
of few washed eggs may cause buy
ers to penalize the entire lot.
Unusually large quantities OF
washed eggs are reported this spring.
according to the Department OF Agri-
culture. Although dirty eggs are dis
counted in price, washing eggs will
generally cause producers greater
loss.
Only clean, unwashed, high-quality
eggs bring top prices. Production OF
clean eggs is accomplished by keeping
hen house floors and nests clean, gath
ering the eggs daily anil keeping the
laying hens during muddy weather IN
dry quarters until afternoon when
most of the eggs will have been lald.
Producers will find 1t more profitable
to use the soiled eggs on the farm,
and to market only the best quality
product, the department says.

Qualities Required by
Standard Bronze Turkey

A standard bronze turkey should be
in color rich, lustrous hue, which
glistens in the sunlight like FURNISHED
gold. On the back each feather has
a narrow black band, which extends
across the end. The primary or flight
feathers are black or dark brown,
penciled with white or gray, the co'ors
changing to bronzy brown. The
wing-bows are black, with brilliant
bronze or greenish luster, wing centers
bronze, the feathers terminating with
a wide, black band. The tail is black
and each feather is penciled with mar
row bands of light brown, ending in a
broad, black band, with wide edge
of dull white or gray. The legs In
the young are usually dark or black,
changing with age to ,dusky or pink
ing purple.

Loss in Feed Shortage

There is perhaps greater loss In
dairying through a shortage of feed,
especially pasture, in summer than al
most any other cause. Cows do not
produce half of the milk they are cap
able of producing unless they get
sufficient feed. Where, the pasture Is
apt to be short, there are two crops
we like to grow as substitute for
the pasture. Oats can be cut early and
fed green in the barn, cutting it each
day as 1t is needed.

Loss by Lightning

This is good time to give atten-
tion to the protection of the farm
buildings against loss by lightning.
Rods properly installed afford high
degree of protection. Rods already in
stalled should be carefully inspected
to see that all connections and joints
are in good condition, and particularly
that the ground connections are good.
Loss of stock In pastures may be re-
duced by grounding the wire fences
at corners and every 20 rods between.

Cows on Sweet Clover

Until cows become used to sweet
clover pasture, you should not turn
them onto the clover while the dew is
on the clover. Cows should be well
fed before they are turned into the
sweet clover. At first let them in the
clover for only short time and each
day you can let them in longer until
they become used to it. In week or
ten days there is not much danger of
bloating unless the cows are hungry
when turned on the clover.

Feed Value of Skimmilk

One hundred pounds of skim milk
from a feeding value standpoint only
are equal to about 101a pounds of
corn and 7A pounds of tankage. How
ever, skim milk when fed to young
animals, such as pigs, In addition TO
the feed value, has other properties.
In the first place, skim milk is a prod
uct manufactured by nature and is in

NEW YORK, October 24.-Business
conditions during the next four years
depend largely upon the result OF the
coming election, E. H. Gary, chair
man of the United States Steel Cor

address to the American Iron and
Steel Institute today.
Every well informed business man
or woman" he said, knows that II
the best men are elected there prob
ably will be continued an increas-
ing prosperity, and if others less
capable and less worthy are selected
we may expect depression and dis
sturbances in business, less produc-
ton, more idleness. less comfort.

to legitimate progress that will not
be easily nor soon overcome"
> Mr.. Gary said he was convinced the
public had been right during the last
few months in believing the election
returns would be satisfactory, as
shown by the steady and persistent
increases in the volume of business
With such a result, he added, the
country could look forward through
the Autumn and succeeding months

fine. too solid, substantial and

Outlines Qualifications.
Outlining qualifications which he
believed a President of the United
States should possess, Mr.. Gary said:
@"He should be willing to lend his
influence and devote his talents to
legitimate business progress and
general prosperity and likewise to
prevent and penaliZe corruption and
wrong. He should endeavor to as
.sist and to protect the poor, the
weak and the suffering and at the
same time should be willing to help
the rich, the strong and the happy
when 1t is indisputably right to do
So"
Business throughout the United
States has shown a persistent though
somewhat irregular growth since last
May. with the volume expanding each
succeeding month, according to MIR.
Gary.
The subsidiary companies of the
corporation, which possess something
less than one-half the capacity of all
manufacturers in the United States"
he continued, sold about 1000 tons
per day more of steel in June than
in May: about 5000 more tons per
day in July than in June; about 10,-
900 tons per day more in August
than in July; about 5000 tons per
day more in September than in Au-
gust, and about 5000 tons per day
more in the first II days of October
than in the first Il days in Septem-
~ber. The shipments fer the same
period on the average exceeded sales,
because of the accumulated untitled
orders on the books which were
placed prior to May.
Cash Returns Lower.
Partly due to a spirited competi-
tion in selling and partly TO other
