Dwelling 1000 miles apart a small tribe
Of Tanana Indians on tributary of the
Yukon speaks the same language as the
Navajos, native Of New Mexico and

How the two distant tribes preslln-

Profitable Potato Rai.insn

Profitable Potato Raising"
 In Windham county the yield of poe tatoes per acre is very low compared with other counties in the state. Rath- CT than go into the details of the req sons, l am going to list ten essential points cf Profitable Potato Raising" as listed by A. E. Wilkinson, exten- sion vegetable specialist.
 1. Good seed essential. In experi ments at Connecticut Agricultural College it has been definitely proved that certified seed is best The aver age gain of certified over other seed was fifty to 100 bushels per acre.
 2 Good fertilizer in proper amounts A mixture of 4-8-4 or 5-S-7 applied at the rate Of one ton per acre IS recommended.
 8. Soil adapted t0 potato raising is essential. A medium loamy soil that win grow good corn, clover or cabbage is best
 4. Thorough preparation of soil. Deep blowing and thorough narrowing to give root system chance for devel- opment.
 3. Proper and timely seed cutting Cut potatoes SO that piece has two good eyes and weighing about two ounces. Seed should be cut near time of planting to prevent drying out
 G. Planting requirements. Cob blers should already be planted and Green Mountains should be planted around May 20. For this county good spacing is three feet between rows and ten inches to twelve inches be- tween seed pieces.
 z. Timely and frequent cultivation. Cultivation should be frequent, thor ough and shallow. 4 weeder is excel lent until potatoes are 1 inches to six inches high. used each time weeds show up or soil becomes baked. Other cultivation should be once week or after hard rains.
 s. Pest control. Spray or dust at the right time to eliminate diseases and insects. Spraying also increases yields
 9. Harvesting. Proper organiza- ton of field force and equipment for efficient gathering of the crop reduces costs.
 10. Marketing and storage. For

t costs uery little to recOnditiOn c MODEL T FORD

THE Ford Motor Company is making a new car, but ii is still proud of the Model T. h wants every owner of one of these to it as long as possible at a minimum of trouble and expense.
 Because of this policy and because of the investment that millions of motorists have in Model T cars. the Ford Motor Company will con- tinue to supply parts as long they are needed by Ford owners.
 So that you may get the greatest use from your Model T. we suggest that you take ii to the near- est Ford dealer and have him estimate on the cost of any replacement parts that may be necessary
 You will find this the economical thing to do because a small expenditure now will help to prevent costlier repairs later on, increase the value of the car and give you thousands of miles of additional service.
 For a labor charge of only S2.6O you can have your generator put in first-class condition A new universal joint will be installed for a labor cost of s. Overhauling the carburetor costs Sl.oO; steering gear. S3.50; radiator, Sl.5O. A complete oyerhauling of the rear axle assembly rslIs be- tween S5 75 and S7 for labor. An average price of S22 50 covers the overhauling of the motor and transmission.
 These prices are for labor only because the need and number of new parts depend on the condition of each car. The cost of these parts is low however because of the Ford policy of niansI- facturina and selling al q small margin of profit
