@. How are potatoes treated to
prevent scab.
A. The most effective method of
treating potatoes for scab is to dip
the potatoes in a solution of corros-
i've sublimate, prepared by dissolv-
ing four ounces of corrosive subli-
mate in several quarts of hot water
in a so gallon barrel and adding
enough cold water to make 30 gal
Ions. Place the potatoes in this so
luton and allow to stand for one
hour. Potatoes may remain in the
sack when being dipped but it is bet
ter to place them in loose or in a
crate that does not absorb the solu-
ton. After every six bushels about
one-quarter ounce of corrosive sub
Innate should be added to the solu-
ton to preserve it's strength. Pota-
toes should be clean and all rotten
or damaged potatoes removed before
dipping. Only earthenwear or wood
en- containers should be used for the
solution as it corrodes metals. 1t is
a deadly poison when taken intern
ally so that every precaution should
be taken in handling and disposing
of the material. Treated potatoes
cannot be eaten nor fed to live

The most satisfactory way of

The most satisfactory way of
propagating rhubarb is by dividing
the crown of an old plant and plant
ing each piece for a new plant.
Each piece must contain a bud or
growing point. The root should be
planted about three inches deep and
two or three feet apart, with rows
about six feet apart. No stalks
should be pulled until after the first
or second seasons growth.
Fertile, well cultivated soil is
best adapted to rhubarb. A little
manure worked into the soil around
the plants once a year helps pre-
serve the fertility. Stalks should
be pulled only during the first six
or eight weeks of spring and after
that should be allowed to develop
in order to insure a good storage
of plant food for the coming seas
on's growth. If it is desired to use
rhubarb during the summer the
picking should be confined to one or
two crowns and these crowns should
not be molested the following year.
Since the quality and abundance
of rhubarb for the coming year de-
ponds upon the growth and develop
ment during the present year, any
good cultural practices such as weed
eradication, cultivation, irrigation
and so on, tend to insure the flu
ture supply.

Last year my young cucumber
plants were destroyed by some in
sect,--is there any way of avoiding
this trouble?
A. The damage was probably
done by the striped cucumber beetle
which also attacks young squash and
melon plants. The best way to pre-
vent a repetition of your losses is
to cover each plant with a cheese
cloth. A barrel hoop cut in half and
these fastened together in the mid
die at right angles makes a good
frame on which to put covering. The
cloth should be held down firmly to
the ground to prevent insects from
crawling under it.

Questions and Answers.

Q. Are seed potatoes produced
on irrigated land inferior to those
produced on non-irrigated land?
A. Results of experiments car
ried on by the Montana Expert
ment Station at Bozeman indicate
that there is no significant differ
ence in yielding power between ir-
and non-irrigated potatoes.

JUDGE HORN AT M E CHURCH

Judge j. c. Horn Of Lamar oc,
cupied the Methodist pulpit last
Sunday morning in the absence
of the pastor He spoke from the
text Wherefore being justified
by faith we have peace with God"
He suggested that the Sunday
services were primarily for worship
and hoped that the churches would
get back to the simple gospel.
How many of You are Justified
acquitted of God? Where. ever we
are, in darkness or light. we should
remember: Thou God seeth mel
We forget the intelligence of God
in regard to our personal affairs.
We think of God as interested
only in the movement OF the
planets. He who made man with
a mind should be able to fathom
that mind. "Ali things are open
to him with whom we have to do"
As we read the record OF daily
crime in the press | wonder II we
have not failed In our preaching
to impress upon people the rights
of humanity and the judgement
of God Conscience is the eye OF
God looking intp the human soul
We cannot plead Ignorance or
lack of opportunity in our relation
to God All know right from
wrong and our duty to God. "A
broken heart and contrite spirit
thou wilt not despisc". In the
business world, in the family circle
or in our individual capacity we
are under the eye of God. The
judgement of man Is a serious
thing but Low much more fearful
thing It Is to fall into the hands
of the living God! The Divine
Judge like the human judge is
often compelled by Justice to in
ilict punishment. God is rnerciful
yet lie must be also Just. Shall
not the Judge OF all the earth dc
! right? Depart from me ] never
! knew you" We cannot avoid tho
+, petion of the authority OF Goo
! Critics may dctract from the Wore
| but do not deny that humanit,
! is accountable to God and the
claims of God on them and thei
! service.

SALVATION ARMY

A meeting of the County Ad-
vsory Board of The Salvation
Army was held Monday afternoon
in the offices of Todd and Under
wood at Lamar AT this meeting
there was a good representation
of the local Advisory Board. Miss
EneZ Lamson.. field representative
OF The Salvation Army. was also
present. 1t was decided in view
of the present financial Stringency,
instead OF making the customary
drive for funds it is advisable to
merely take a voluntary collection
in the different towns in the
county. No particular quota has
been set to be raised and in this
collection no list of contributors
will be published. 1t is expected
however. that every person who
appreciates the work done by The
Salvation Army will contribute as
literally as they can. AT this
meeting it was further decided
that on account OF the local needs
t1lera will be retained a part oi
| the funds raised In this county
| for emergency eases. This cOllec
! tIon will be made on Friday and
Saturday OF this week. January
| nth. and 18th. under the direc
tion of the local Advisory Roart
Of The Salvation Army. 1t Is hoped
| that our people will be as gcner
ous as possible remembering thai
| IN 1923 no canvass for funds wa'
made in this community for The
Salvation Army.

TOOK JUST A NIP"

Took just nip OF booze and
lost his car money and watch. Such
was the luck OF Stanley Jones of
Laramie, Wyoming who was pick
ed up side of the road, half frozen,
| south of town and sent home last
| Monday from Holly. Here is the
story.
Stanley Jones who is helper in
| n garage at Laramie was visited
by man who wished Jones to go
and get his car started. near Tie
| Siding, a few miles from Laramie.
They were joined by another man
and woman. They found the ear
| too badly damaged to be quickly
| repaired so one man said he would
stay with the ear and Jones should
! take the other man and the woman
\ to the station to take the train.
In the meantime he had accepted
\ little drink of booze. though not
ordinarily drinking man. as he
claimed In an exclusive interview
with the Editor.
| The next he remembers he was
in jail in Pueblo with his ear
watch. and money all gone-even
his keys were taken. After two
nights in jail. two men whom he
| judged to be officers informed
him they would take him to his
ear 1t was found stranded side
of the road between Granada and
Butte Creek. He remembers get
ting into his car to follow the ear
OF the two men and recalls being
in Las Animas, presumably on the
way back to Pueblo. Apparently
at this point. however, he got off
the road and turned south. He
remembers little more till he was
picked up by the side of the road
by rancher. Otis Harlow. who
lives 81 miles south. Harlow kept
him and nOursed him back to
reason Jones did not tell him
much of his story but worked
about the place for his board for
a week or more. When the weather
moderated Harlow brought Jones
to Holly last Monday Jones sent
4 telegram to his wife in Laramie
who has been distracted for two
weeks over the disappearance of
her husband Later he talked with
his wife over the telephone and a
ticket and money were wired for
him to return home, which he did
last Monday night There are sew
eral strange aspects of the story
told by Mr.. Jones and there is the
suspicion that the whole thing
may have been prolonged spree.
However, we are giving the mans
story. His wife keeps beauty
parlor in Laramie. There are two
children. Stanley Jones did not
appear to be a dissipated man and
was quite intelligent, though yet
in somewhat dazed condition
when he left for LONE Monday.
