This sewer was lain about fourteen years ago under very unfavorable conditions, and it is found that the joints were not properly cemented and that the whole line is out of grade; also that roots from shade trees along the street have grown through the joints and greatly decreased the carrying capacity of the system. Also there is under consideration sewer extensions which will accom modate a number of thickly settled outlying districts heretofore In an exceedingly unsanitary condition.

Tho Courier, recognizing the Im portance of raising potatoes in this section, has been auxlouH to get the nioibods of growers who have been ouccessful In producing this crop and to this end It has solicited short, prac tical iirlicli's ho as to help those with loss experience in this branch of agri culture. We print a communication from ('. II. HlBinaun, one of our best known potato growers. Ills success In raising this Important tuber jus tifies The Courier In commending his methods of cultivation, which will be found below: CruntB I'ass, Oivgon, May fi. 1912. The editor of The Courier asked nut last week to write hi in m exper ience In raising potatoes, and I will endeavor to do so as accurately as possible. The i-xpei ien of many mowers In this section In past years has giv en rise to the Idea that this is not a tuber country. Hut It Is my opin ion that the sandy loam soil here is especially adapted for this crop. It Is very possible that there are otluT oils just as suitable, but as my ex perlem e has been only with the sandy loam, that Is all I can honestly endorse. I will outline, as nearly as possible, my plan of caring for due crop.
