of a mighty good joke last week
when he landed at his place on
the date of the sale which was
held at his place. Kirk had been
stalled in town for several DAYS on
account of the bad river condition
and could not get across. The
weather was bad on Monday and
Tuesday and things were looking
very gloomy for the auction which
he was to have on Wednesday. He
got busy and sent out post cards
announcing the postponement of
the sale to April 1st. On Wednes-
day he managed to get across the
river and got home just in time to
find out that the sale had been
held and everything sold fine and
dandy

SPUD PLANTING TESTS
UPSET PREJUDICES

Phases of the moon and posi-
tons of the horns still Govern
planting operations, particularly
of potatoes, in many sections of
the country. The light or the
dark of the moon, or whether the
horns point upward or down are
of no concern to horticulturists of
the United States Department of
Agriculture, but they are interest
ed in providing information look
ing toward settlement of some of
the other disputed questions deal
ing with potato planting.
William Stuart and several as
sistants report or experiments in
potato planting carried on in lead
ing potato-growing districts.
Which End?
Growers have long disputed the
comparative merits of potato sets
cut from the stem end and from
the seed end of the tubers. Some
previous experiments seem to
have indicated considerable super
iority for one end or the other.
The seed values of the two ends
probably differ somewhat in diff
varieties. Results varied

creases there is a greater response
from the APPEAL (seed) set than
from the basal (stem) set.
Question of Size
Another fruital source of argl,-
ment is found in the value of
diversified tubers for seed. Most
growers of seed potatoes have a
strong prejudice against using
large sized tubers. After three
years of experiment the investiga-
tors conclude that sets from over
sized tubers are evidently as pro-
as those from normal
sized tubers, and in seasons when
a considerable proportion of the
seed stock grows too large to sat
isfy commercial demands it may
be recommended for seed pur-
poses. The chief objections that
always been raised in regard
diversified tubers are that there
is more wastage in cutting, in
Volving a larger quantity by !
weight to plant an acre, and in
addition that they are slightly
more difficult to cut"

The knicker suit is practically the

sold without the vest and most boys
can be persuaded 10 dispense with it
anyway. For cooler weather a

worn over the wash shirt-with or
without a tie-and in some schools
these neat slip-on sweaters sans
