MANY QUESTIONS ARE ASKED
Bureau of Plant Industry Has Con'
ducted Series of Experiments In
Tuber Growth of Much Inter
est to Growers.
(Frapared by tho United States Department
ox Agriculture.;
now do notatoes crow?
Why do some vines produce many
tubers and others only a few?
Do big pieces produce better pc
tnrnnn than small nieces?
When does the tuber begin to form?
When does moisture have the most
pffocr on tho nroducllon of potatoes?
What Is the relation of soil to potato
production?
Exnerlmcnts Conducted.
These me a few among many ques
tlons which have been asked about tho
growth and yield of America's lnrgest
and most distinctive crops, and which
former observers have been able to
answer only Incompletely. The bureau
of plnnt Industry, United States De
partment of Agriculture, ims con
ducted a series of experiments 1n
potato growth, .the results of which
are published In department Bulletin
058, Development of Tubers in the
Potato, which '..us just been Issued,
The Information contained is of In
terest not only to the plnnt physiol
ogist but also to tho practical grower,
as a knowledge of the rclntlon of the
setting and subsequent development
of tubers cf the potato may, to a
certain extent, be put to practical use.
Tuber formntlon. it wns found, be
gins In general at about the end of
the period of ilower bud development,
nirhmipli this Is not In nil cases tin
exact criterion. Experiments showed
that the number, as well as the size,
of notatoes In a hill Increased for
several weeks after the first potatoes
were large enough to dig. A small
Increase in the weight of tubers was
found to occur even nftor the vines
hnd been killed by frost. Tho maxi
mum rate of growtli of the tubers was
found to occur about the lust of Au
gust or first of September, which was
approximately 80 days after planting.
An interesting development of the
experiments was that tho number and
weight of tubers per hill were found
to be Influenced by tho size and the
kind of seed planted. Whole potatoes
used as seed yielded heavier than
hnlf potatoes, and these more than
quarters, and the larger the seed
piece the greater the yield per hill. A
whole potato used as seed yielded
more than a hnlf or quarter potato
of equnl weight.
The exnerlments showed that appar
ently light soils are better for pota
toes than heavy soils. The lowest
production of tubers, with respect to

You remember the story
of the Pitcher ,
It made a good many trips to the well and it
came back in. good order.
"I can take care of myself," it said "they
don't need to talk about risks to me."
But it went once too often.
After that it was only part of a pitcher, and
they didn't need to talk to it about risks it knew.
A lot of people won't believe coffee can harm
them until it does harm them.
"Nonsense!" they say, "it never disturbs me."
When it does disturb them, then they know.
Often the disturbance which they then recog
"rdzc is the result of irritations to nerves and di
gestion which have been going on for a long time.
If you have to lie awake at night and count
the clock ticks, after an evening cup of coffee, then
you know that it's better to he safe than sorry.
The risk of coffee's harm ts gone when the
meal-time drink is Postum.
Here's a delightful and satisfying table bev

for nerves or digestion. You know you're on the .
right road with Postum; there's never the pos
sibility that you'll go once too often.
Poatum comes in two forms: Instant Postum(in tins)

Small Colony Houbo In Use on Gov-

cheap, tight wall used extensively In
colonv-house construction, Is to use

vertically with tho cracks covered
with hattens 2 to 8 nches wide.
Paint adds creatly to tho appear-
ance and service of all buildings. One
may buy ready-mixed paints, or get
the pigments and oil and mix tncm.
All surfaces should bo clean and dry
before they are painted. Use a prim
ing coat of equal parts of paint nnd
linseed oil and then cover with one
or more coats of nalnt. and brush It
thoroughly into the surface. White
wash Is cheapest of nil paints, nnu
may be used inside or out. It enn bo
made by slaking about ten pounds of
quicklime with two gallons of wnter,
covering the pail with cloth or burlap,
and allowing it to slake for one hour.
Water Is then added to bring the
whitewash to the proper consistency.
