can be really eliminated.

From the County Agent
A Second Crop of Irish Potatoes

1t is possible to grow a second crop
of Irish potatoes provided the season
is congenial after digging the first
crop, which is usually dug about the
last of June. The second crop of pota-
toes cannot always be depended upon
but will vary according to climatic
conditions of the growing season. As
the second crop yields much more and
grows better from homegrown seed
every farmer in the county is justified
in growing second crop of potatoes.
Varieties
Earliness is the determining factor,
but color is likewise an important
feature where the potatoes are being
grown for market. Such varieties as
Bliss Triumph, Early Rose. Early Ohio
and a few other red-skinned varieties
are preferable to white-skinned varie-
ties. The Bliss Triumph is quite com
monty grown in this section and grow

ers will find it a very desirable variety
to plant for second crop.
Seed

to plant for second crop.
Seed
The seed for the second crop of pota-
toes is secured from the digging of
the spring crop. Use medium size seed
which is free from disease and uni
form in size. The potato should not
average less than an inch and a half
in diameter. As soon as the spring
crop is dug remove them from the hot
sun as quickly as possible. Spread
them ont in thin layer in a well
ventilated cellar or floor of building.
Dust them thoroughly with air-slacked
lime to absorb moisture and prevent
decay.
Potatoes will do well under cover
ing of straw three or four inches deep,
which should be kept moist where one
wishes the potatoes to have sprouts on
them at planting time. The seed for
the second crop chould be allowed to
lie dormant for at least two weeks and
preferably three before planting. This
Pocahontas star herald., 1924-06-20
How To Plant

The planting of the second crop is
not unlike that of the spring crop.
The seed should be planted six to
seven inches deep to secure constant
moisture. As rule the rows are
three feet apart, with the plants from
10 to Is inches in the row. 1t is de-
sirahle after the seed is covered to run
the harrow over the ground which will
pack IL somewhat and leave it almost
level.
Pocahontas star herald., 1924-06-20

allows the seed to rest, which is
period required by practically all
plants before starting new growth.
Immediately after the spring crop
OF potatoes has been dug and while
the seed for the second planting is
drying ont, begin TO prepare the land
for the second crop by blowing deeply
and thoroughly as possible. Prepare
as good seed bed for the second as
for the first crop. Disc or harrow the
land once each week until planting
time. If this is done sufficient mois-
ture will be maintained to start the
seed and get them up Through the
ground. Much depends upon the pre-
paratlon of the seed bed for the second
crop. If the soil is allowed to dry out
until planting time il will be too dry
and cloddy to prepare satisfactorily
If the land is not well prepared the
seed will get Off to such late start
that early-frost will kill the crop be-
fore maturity Shallow surface culti-
walton after plowing will prevent loss
Of necessary moisture and do much
toward the success Of this crop.
Pocahontas star herald., 1924-06-20
Cultivation

A crust should not be permitted to
form. in the potato patch. Break the
crust by narrowing just before the
plants come through the ground and
continue shallow cultivation every ten
days or after rains. More civilizations
are necessary for the second crop than
for the first to preserve sufficient mois-
ture in the early growing season when
it is dry and the plants are getting a
start Frequent cultivation is the only
method to insure the second crop
Pocahontas star herald., 1924-06-20
against failure from drouth.
Spraying

The second crop must be protected
from insects and disease by the usual
methods of spraying employed for the
first crop. Arsenate of lead is the
most satisfactory poison for insects
which attack the potatoes. Bordeaux
is the standard spray for vari-
Gus kinds Of diseases which affect the
potato plant.
Pocahontas star herald., 1924-06-20
Harvesting


The crop should be harvested when
the ground Is in good working condi-
tion. The potatoes then should be
stored in well ventilated cellar or
building where they will remain
throughout the winter in case they
should not be sold Immediately. Slat
boxes are preferable over placing the
crop in bulk in bins. However, If the
potatoes are stored in bins, care must
he taken to sort out the decayed ones
at regular intervals.
The essential thing in harvesting
the second crop Of potatoes is to dig
them when the ground is not too wet
so that the potatoes will come out
clean. The crop should be permitted
to remain in the ground as long as pos
sible in the fall to increase the yield
and the maturity Of the tubers.
Storage
Free circulation Of air and protec-
tion from frost with as low tempera-
ture as possible are essential factors
in storage. Uniform temperature and
uniform humidity is much to be de-
sired in the storage house.
when danger of disease is feared
liberal coating Of air-slacked lime will
prevent materially the loss from rot
ting during the winter, but where the
potatoes are to be placed on the mar
ket It is not advisable to put lime on
the tubers as 1t Is rather difficult TO
remove. The potatoes should be look
ed over about every two weeks after
first being placed in storage and then
again two weeks later. This will sort
out practically all that will be lost.
Pocahontas star herald., 1924-06-20
When To Plant

The seed should he planted any time
from the first to the tenth of July
when the ground is ready and prefer
ably before an expected rain. Plant
ing may be done as late as the tenth
of August but this is not advisable on
account of the shortness of the grow
ing season.

is elected, then the question OF
whether they should have held back
to await the outcome of the election
can be brushed asile as inconse-
quential. For they will no doubt de-
rive considerable comfort and en-
couragement from the decisive vic
tory given the most conservative of
the three candidates.
La Follette's failure to carry the
electoral vote of the west may be a
surprise to some people, but not to
those who investigated the west.
This correspondent found, for in
stance, on reaching Wisconsin that
La Follette's strength there was
greatly diminished, and that he
would carry the state by a lower
vote than ever before in his political
career
North Dakota was found to be
close with a chance for Coolidge to
carry it. These two states indicated
at the outset that La Follette's pow
err had been over-estimated general
ly and therefore this writer on fin
i1hing a tour of the west felt con-
fident in saying that the Wisconsin
senator would not throw the election
tor he had expected to be and that
! he couldn't feel sure of a single
state in the west except Wisconsin
and North Dakota. The final re-
turns indicate that La Toilette drew
mostly from the Democrats and was
simply the best ally President Cool
idge could have had for the third
party candidate merely made sure of
Coolidge pluralities everywhere.
Lessons for Democrats
The Democrats have many lessons
to take to heart. But the principal
one is that they must now choose
between conservatism-in which the
Republicans can count on outdoing
all imitators-and liberalism, which
shall retain the normal Democratic
vote that stayed with Davis and at
tract the votes cast for La Toilette.
The thirty party leaders will not be
willing to stay out in the political
wilderness. They will start think
ing of a coalition with the Demo-
Gratis. The southern conservatives in
the Democratic party will naturally
fight the ascendancy of naything
that may be called radicalism but the
next Democratic national convention
will not make the mistake of last
July in making a middle-of- road
candidate, no matter how capable
he may be. For in this campaign
John w. Davis was never accepted
in the west as substitute for La
Toilette or even as anti Coolidge, but
| rather as a man of the same school
| of conservative thought.
McAdoo would have appealed to
the La Toilette voters and perhaps
| have prevented a third party tickel
| but he couldn't have carried the east,
so it seems reasonable to conclude
! that McAdoo would have made d
better run than Davis and that al
! Smith might have done better than
Davis, too, but that neither McAdoo
nor Smith could have beaten Calvin
Coolidge this year. Smith might HAYS
gotten some eastern states but not
the west. McAdoo would have gotten
certain western states but nor
enough in the east. It was a year
for conservatives and the person.
not the party in power.

BALDWIN MINISTRY
SEEN III AGREEMENT
WITH c. D. P. POLICY

LONDON, Nov. 5.-The Republic
an victory in America establishes at
least for four years a remarkable
temperamental affinity between the
White House and No. 10 Downing
street, for Stanley Baldwin, who
tarts today his second term as prime
minister, is the British counterpart
of President Coolidge.
Both of the chief executives are
noted for their calmness, simplicity
and cool-headedness. They hold iden-
teal views regarding the necessity
of stability in government, and they
hope to maintain national progress,
both commercial and political, by the
same methods, all of which points to
a thorough accord between the two
great western powers, with an i'm
mediate and favorable reaction on
the affairs, not only of Europe, but
the entire civilized world.
President Coolidge and Prime Min
lister Baldwin stand for a determined
opposition to radical changes, espe-
cidlly in the field of politics. Where
President Coolidge won fame as an
upholder of law and order in Boston,
Mass, Premier Baldwin is equally
noted in Great Britain as an advo-
cate of the same principles.
From the continental point of
view, it may prove rather disturb
ing to realize that these national
leaders hold decided opinions on the
matter of international debts. Great
Britain's new prime minister, it will
/ be remembered, put through a settle
ment of the debt to the United
States, and, therefore, he may be ex-
{ pected within the near future to seek
a satisfactory arrangement of the
debts owing to his country from the
allies who are at present backward
in making payments.
