Profossor P. E, Clements, tho stato
botanist of Minnesota, hns attracted
ittcntlon by his estimato in n recent
bulletin that tbo annual wasto of
mushrooms In tho United States
equals In valuo tho entlro agricultural
product of tbo country, says tho Man
choster Union. It Is easy for on en
thusiast In any lino of thought or en
deavor to lose the Bonsc of just pro
portion, and It may porhapa bo taken
for granted that Professor Clomonts
has permitted himself to bo carried
way by tho contemplation of tho
Wasto of n natural food product which
Is moro or less abundant ovorywhoro
and which has an unquestioned food
valuo. Beginning with early Hummer
tnd continuing until lato fall, tho pro
auction of mushrooms in woods, pas
tures nnd wnsto places is something
enormous, and a largo proportion of
(horn nro not only odlblo, but nour
ishing. In so far as thoy aro not
mndo U80 of and a small proportion
of thorn la over gathorcd thoy of
course, represent a loss of posslblo
food supply, but soma account must
bo taken of tho cost of collecting and
distributing thorn to consumers, as
well as of tho dnngor from some epo
cles which aro harmful and of at
least two which may bo classed as
deadly. Thoso aro easily distinguish
ed, to bo sure, by any ono who has
mado a study of tho mushroom tribo,
but Until Amorlcans, ns n rulo, aro
much moro familiar with tho subjoct
than at present, a great proportion of
tho odiblo varieties will contlnuo to go
to wasto.
Basing calculations on tha estimate
that tho number of American tourists
In Europe in a season Is 300,000 and
that tho nvcrago individual expendi
ture by thoso touriBts Is $7C0, some
ono linn easily figured that about $225,
000,000 of American inorioy is spent
ibrond in tho courso of a season; and
this docs not Includo tho cost of steam
ship tickets. Hankers who hnudlo tho
letters of credit for wealthy Ameri
can tourists aro quoted to tho effect
that $3,000 Is a fair avorago for tho
valuo of UiCBo letters, says tho Man
chester Union, Among tourists of tho
wealthy class, says tho report. It Is
common to placo from $25,000 to $75,
100 in the hands of tho bankers, and,
as a rule, fully two-thirds of the
imount 1b drawn. Possibly the major
premise of this main proposition has
been overdrawn; possibly tho minor
premise; possibly botli and possibly
neither, In any event, it muat bo ad
mitted that $225,000,000 Is a tremen
dous sum of American money to be
taken to Europe and left there In a

WATER FOR POTATOES
Irrigation Seldom Needed Until
About Month of July.
Of Much Importance That Soli Be
Well Pulverized to Allow Root
System of Young Plant to Get'

(Dy T. H. PAU80N8, ARronomlst, Wyom

In providing a oultablo soil for pota
toes tho fertility should bo conserved.
Live stuck Is tho real basis of fertil
ity in nny agricultural district. Tho
feeding of grains and grasses on tho
farm replaces In the soil the vcgetnblo
matter which produces tho humus and
furnishes tho nitrogen which keeps up
tho fertility of tho soli. In tho moun
tain country, whero water is tho prime
requisite, tlicro is no bettor storage
for water in tho soli than decayed
vcgdtnblo matter, as thin vcgetnblo
matter mnkes tho soli porous, It is
impossible to grow potatoes without
nu opon, porous sol, nnd it Is im
portant that tho soil is well pulver
ized nnd firmed In order that the root
system of tho young plant may be ablo
to secure plant food as quickly as
possible.
If tho secd-bed is woll prepared and
the potatoes thoroughly cultivated
thoy wilt seldom need Irrigation until
July. Irrigation water is generally
cold and it is important not to irri
gate too frequently, for tho water
causes tho soli to run together and
lowers tho tompornturo to n degroo
that is unfavorable to the young
plants, Water should be applied only
when tho plants Indlcato that they arc

the experience thnt If potatoes nro

becomo strong and well established

It Is a well established fact that tho
Bolls of tho arid regions aro aa n rulo
deficient in organic matter. This de
ficiency mny be ovorcomo to a certain
extent by nny of tho three common
methods of adding organic matter to
tho soil, which aro ns follows: (a)
ny green manure and crop residues;
(b) by accumulations in pasturing;
(c) by applications of farm ma
nures, Of tho inpthods mentioned tho first
is tho most Important and least prac
tlcedu It consists mainly In the growj
Ing of a crop which Is plowed undor
whllo It is green and succulent, as It
decomposes most rcndlly In that stage.
Dr. Cyril O. Hopkins of tho Illinois
station, in comparing green manured
with .farm manures, makes the fol
lowing significant statement: "As ah
average, nntmulo digest and thusdo
stroy two-thirds of tho dry matter In
tho food they cat, so that ono ton of
clover hay plowed under will add as
much humus to the soli as tho manuro
mado from threo tons of clover hauled
off and fed, even If all tho manuro Is
returned to tho land without loss by
fermentation."
Leguminous crops, such as alfalfa,
clover, field peas and vetches, aro
usually recommended for green ma
nures. Thoy hnvo the special power of
obtaining thol, nitrogen from tho air
through tho agency of bacteria in
habiting tho tuberculcs On tho roots.
Any of tho nbovo cropa can be grown
In tho soils of tho arid regions.
Tho characteristic advantages of
green manures to tho soil aro as fol?'
lows:
1. Increases Its fertility by tho
largo amount of organic matter which;
It acquires.
2. Increases its wnter holding en
capacity. 3. Utilizes solublo plant food that
would othorwlso cscapo from tho soil.
4. Brings plant food from tho low
er soil to tho surfaco soli. '

A trial packngo of Munyon's Paw Paw
Pillu will be sent frco to anyone on re
quest. Address Professor Munyon, 53d ts
Jefferson Sts.i Philadelphia, Ta. If you are
in need of medical advice, do not fail to
write Profcisor Munyon. Your communi
cation will be treated, in strict confidence,
and your case will be diagnosed as care
fully as though you had a personal inter
view. Munyon's Paw Paw Pills are unlike
til other lcxatlvcn or cathartics. They
coax tho liver into activity by gentlo
methods. Thoy do not scour, they do
not gripe, they do not weaken, but they
do start all the secretions of the liver
and stomach in a way that soon puts
then organs in a healthy condition and
corrects constipation. In roy opinion
constipation is responsible for most ail
ments. Thero are 20 feet of human
bowels, which is really a sewer pipe.
When this pipe becomes clogged the
whole system becomes poisoned, caus
ing biliousness, indigestion and impure
blood, which often produce rheumatism
and kidney ailments. No woman who
suffers with constipation or any liver
ailment can expect to havo a clear
complexion or enjoy good health. If
I had my way I would prohibit the salo
of nine-tenths of tho cathartics that are
now being sold for the reason that they
soon destroy the lining of the stomach,
setting up serious forms of indigestion,
and so paralyze the bowels that they re
fuse to act unless forced by strong
purgatives.
Munyon's Paw Taw Pills are a tonio
to the stomach, liver and nerves. They
invlgorato instead of weaken; they en
rich tho blood Instead or Impoverish
it; they enable the stomach to get all
the nourishment from food that is pat
into it.
These pills contain no calomel, no
