Merits of Potato Sets.
Growers have long disputed the
comparative merits of potato sets cut
from the stem and and from the seed
end Of the tubers. Some previous ex-
periments seem to nave indicated con-
siderable superiority for one end or
the other. The seed values Of the
two ends probably differ somewhat in
different varieties. Results varied with
the weight of the set, according to nu-
merous tests, and the data as whole.
seem to Indicate that as the weight Of
the set increases there is a greater
response from the APPEAL (seed) set
than from the basal lstem) set.
Another fruitful source Of argument
is found in the value of diversified tu-
bers for seed. Most growers Of seed
potatoes have strong prejudice
against using large sized tubers. Aft
er three years of experiment the in
vestigators conclude that sets from
diversified tubers are evidently as pro-
ductive as those from nOrmal-siZe tu-
bers, and in seasons when consider
able proportion of the seed stock
grows too large to satisfy commercial
demands it may be recommended for
seed purposes. The chief objections
that have always been raised in re-
gard to diversified tubers are that
there is more wastage in cutting, in
volving larger quantity by weight
to plant an acre. and In addition that
they are slightly more difficult to cut.
Use Of Immature Seed,
Several experimenters have claimed
great advantages from the use Of seed
dug when it was somewhat immature.
Departmental experiments at three sta
lions were. inconclusive. At the Idaho
station the increased yield from inn
mature seed ranged from II bushels
an acre for one variety to 100 bushels
an acre for the best of three varieties.

Italian Red Glover and
Alfalfa Seed Worthless

Results of tests conducted at several
experiment stations show cOnclusively
that red clover and alfalfa seed from
Italy are unfit for use anywhere in the
United States. Alfalfa seed from South
America also has been declared unfit
for use in certain parts of this coun-
try. 1t now begins to appear that a
similar study Of adaptation must be
conducted with red clover and alfalfa
seed from different sections Of the
United States and adaptability areas
located and defined. 1t has been dis
covered now that red clover seed pro-
duced in the Willamette valley, of
Oregon, produces less hardy plants
than seed produced in Wisconsin, Mich
igan or Minnesota and may prove to
be as undesirable as italian seed.

Grasshoppers Have Well
Balanced Mineral Bodies

You have. no doubt, observed, and
often heard people remark about
chickens and turkeys doing SO well
where they had range and had access
to a lot OF grasshoppers. Do you
know that a grasshopper's body. when
chemically analysed. shows that it's
body is made up of perfectly bal
anced mineral mixture? The grasshop-
pers body contains large per cent
of vital minerals, and that's the secret,
as to why chickens and turkeys do
well on them, and are always seen
chasing grasshoppers. The same is
true of other bugs and worms, and is
one of the main reasons why poultry
do so well on free range.

Much of the nervousness in older

harmless Castoria. It's amazing to see
how quickly it Gains baby's nerves and
soothes him to sleep; yet it contains
no drugs or opiates. 1t is purely veg
etable-the recipe is on the wrapper.
Leading physicians prescribe it for
collie, cholera, diarrhea, constipation,
gas on stomach and bowels, feverish-
ness, loss of sleep and oil other up

bottles used a year shows its over
whelming popularity.
With each bottle of Castoria, you get

Fletcher's signature on the package so
you'll get genuine Castoria. There are
many limitations.
