Mr. E. A. Burroughs, of Greens,
recently sent in a clipping from an
eastern paper describing a new
method of raising potatoes after an
intensified system. The method Is
vouched for by the Kansas City Star
and it is understood that a Chicago
farm paper hag endorsed it. We
quote as folltfws, and perhaps some
one will try It out:
Kansas City, April 10. Hundreds

E. Hendricks, 2636 Kim wood ave

information as to the construction
and management of "potato pens."
described by him fn a letter recently
printed, show such an interest in his,
revolutionary scheme to grow pota
toes in quantities in a limited area
that the Star herewith presents with
more detail the plan he has proved
successful for many years:
I'lan a potato pen 6x8 feet cn
the inside ground measurement and
six feet high. If desired, the length
of the pen may be any multiple of
eight feet. This plat selected Is to
he made into one large iotato hili,
the sides supported by a loosely con
structed pen, built like the old rail
fence, of 2x4 or any similar sized
timber, firmly supported by posts.
Itich earth, or earth and manure.
must he at hand sufficient to fill the
pen to the tqp.
I ay off the plat of ground and
divide by five equally spaced length
wise lines and seven crosswise lins,
placing a potato eye at each intersec
tion of the lines on the surfaco of
the ground. Cover these with six
Inches of earth; niark as before und
again place potato seed. Cover these
with six Inches of earth; mark as
before and again place potato seed.
Notice Is hereby given that an 8th
grade examination will be held In

Cover these with another six Inchea

) til 12 layers have been placed, the
pen naving oeen duiii us tne earth
was piled up.
As the pen rises. Insert in the cen
ter of the side, three feet above the
ground, a jieee of timber three feet
long and about the diameter of the
arm, leaving an end protruding so
that it may be loosened and wlih
tlrawn. In dry weather this is to
be taken out and the moisture of the
center of the bed determined by in
serting t hex arm in the hole.
The top layer of earth should be
sloped gently toward the center so
that the mound will absorb and not
jhed rain, but care should to taken
that mud be prevented from form
ing on the top and baking into a
crust. When the earth is dry iho.
mound should be sprinkled on top
and sides.
The jrotato vines will grow both
to the top and the sides of the peu
emerging through the crevices at the
sides and concealing the timbers,
Loose straw or leaves may be piled
anainst the sides nf the pen to pro
ven! the t-arth from running out of
the Interstices. When the potatoes
are matured the pen may be torn
down and the ixitatoes rolled out of
their thin covering of earth with a
rake, thus preventing cutting them,
as frequently happens when they arc
dug from hills.
Kansas City, Mo., April 16, 1917.
Mr. K. M. Poston,
Columbus, Ohio.
Dear Sir:
Question 1. How many years
huve you built these potato pens?
Ans. Three years with success.
(Juration 2. What ts the average
annual output of otatoes In one of
these pens?
Ans. In a pen SxSxS feet I took
out 42 buy he la first year, 31 bushels
the second year and 42 Vi bushels
the third year.
This pen. we will say. Is 6 feet by
S ft et by 6 feet high, has 35 hllU
of potatoes to earh 6 Inches. I.av
off the first layer in 1-foot squares.
Plant a potato on each cross line;
put about one inch of well rotted ma
tin re on the potatoes, then wet thin
layer of in mime well; then six
Im lies more of dirt then mark off
again as before, plant again, put otic
inch of manor and wet again, and
so m an htph as you like. A "moist
l'sli'r," a piece of wood 3 feet long
should to placed at the side of
the middle row atntut two feet above
the ground on one side as you
build up the earth. After the pota
toes have been planted three weeks
pull the "tester" out and put your
iiiind In nnd examine the moistrre
of the dirt In the pen. After Mie
"tester" ts onco out this can be r
tH'atcd once or twice a week; by so
doing you can toll how much water
to put In the pen.

The News office this morning re
ceived a phone call from a resident
living Just outside of the city limit.
They stated that of late much diffi
culty had been encountered near
their home with stray cows than;
seem to have an "eye open for back
yard gardens.
It seems as though some method
could be arranged In which this
nuisance could be done away with,!
as we all know it Is very unpleasant'
to awake early In the morning and
find several "brindle" cows "wad
ing" through the rows of planted
seeds. Some way will probably be
devised In the near future either by
the officers or the residents troubled
so that gardens may be planted and
allowed to grow without being mo
lested by wandering cows.
FOR AUTO PARADE
The parade of decorated automo
biles will be given on Thursday aft
ernoon. May 17, Immediately aftet
the crowning of the queen, probably
about three o'clock. The place of
formation has not been announced
but it is expected that it and the line
of march will be as usual. I
After careful consideration and
conference with the automobile
committee as well as with car own
ers the general committee has de:ld-'
ed that to maintain equality lu com
petition between cars decorated in1
artitlcial flowers and those on which
natural flowers are used the judge j
wtjl be instructed to consider not'
only apeparance, but design and la-j
bor involved. J
Floral decorations tnay wilt some-!
what before passed on by the judges
and would therefore be at a dlsad-j
vantage. The paper decorations 1
would pioTit by reason of being more!
durable, therefore the decision to j
consider design, and labor expended,
as well as final appearance.
The prizes will be as follows: i

As a part of t!e campaign which
the National American Woman's
Suffrage Association is making for
women workers who will be intro
duced In increasing numbers. In the"
factories and business houses to fill ;
the places of the men who leave for,

Carrie Chapman Catt, president, urg-l
ing that in this community every ef
fort be used to conserve the women j
workers by keeping their hours of;
labor within .eliiht hours per day ;
and by giving them the same pay;
which men filling the same positions
have received. The necessity of
women supporting families in the
removal for flghitng purposes is
urged as an obvious reason for grant
ing pay equivalent to that which men
doing the same work receive.
The national association with its
two million members have set on

tion for the use of the nation.
