Burlington, Vt.—Forty-two bushels of potatoes in the season of 1916 from a plot of ground only eight feet square, ,or an equivalent of over 28.000 bushels to the acre of ground space used, was ihe feat of R. E. Hendricks, a resident of Kansas City, Mo., says H. M. George Jn the Free Press. This achievement was made possible by the use of an entirely new and original method which, when generally introduced, promises not only to revo lutionize the potato, growing industry throughout the world but to solve the problem of an unfailing source of cheap food supply for the nations of the .earth. ; Mr. Hendricks had often watched the potato pile in the cellar bin, which every spring sent out its shoots through every possible crack and crevice. Some times these sprouts would crawl out along the floor a distance of seven feet in order to reach the light. From this beginning he conceived the idea that if this pile was removed out into the open and given soil and fertilizer, the potatoes would grow ‘and multiply. Three years ago he built what he called a “potato pen,” which was noth ing more or less than a huge potato hill, the sides of which were supported by a loosely constructed inclosure, built after the fashion of an old rail fence. Within this inclosure, only 8 by 8 feet in size, he planted his potatoes in thin layers of dirt and dressing, piling one layer on another until the pen was eight feet high. The “potato pen” be came a mound of green. He had found that his potatoes not only grew better than they did in the cellar but that at j the digging time he was able to harvest j 40 bushels of an fine potatoes as are j grown anywhere. The following year he got 32 bushels in the same sized pen, and last year the total of 42 bushels. Up to this time Mr. Hendricks has conducted his experiments unknown to but a few of his most intimate asso ciates. but owing to the present food , shortage, and the nation wide cam paign to speed up food production, he decided to give up his discovery for the free use of people everywhere. The details of the construction and management of these “potato pens,” as described by Mr. Hendricks, outline a plan by w;hich anyone having access to a plot of ground no larger than a flower bed can raise all the potatoes needed for an average family for a whole year. The potato pens may be built eight feet wide by any length, just so they are built strong enough to keep the sides from spreading. Most any kind of good stout material can be used. If HELPS FOUND NEW POLITICAL PARTY * ««■••• : y. TN. Mrs. Rose Pastor Stokes. Mrs. Rose Pastor Stokes, well known writer and lecturer on social problems, is now engaged with hei husband, J. G. Phelps Stokes, in the organisation of a new political party, which is expected to come into being in September. Before her marriage to the millionaire Stokes she was a j cigarmaker in Cleveland, receiving ' eight dollars a week. ( light lumber or boards are used the pen may be braced through tin* center with wires. Rich earth must be on hand in sufficient qualities to fill the pen to the top. The potato pen is built 6xS feet, in side measurement, and is six feet high. The pen is built as each layer is placed and planted. You can use IxO-ineli boards for the ends and sides, leaving a two and one-half, space between the boards for the potato sprouts to coma through. Start the pen with a six inch layer of dirt. Then mark off tha plat a foot apart each way, allowing six inches of space for dirt all around between the outer row of potatoes and the inside of the pen. Plant a potato seed at every cross line or intersection of the plat, eight hills to the layer ol dirt. Then put an inch or two of dress ing over the potatoes and sprinkle good with water. Then lay sir* inches more of dirt, mark off as before, plant, use dressing and wTater again. Repeat this operation with enough layers to fill the pen to the top. To keep the dirt from falling out of the pen as the lay ers are placed, draw up old straw or hay against the cracks and crevices. As the pen rises, place on the fourth layer of dirt in the center of one side, about two feet above the ground, a "moist tester.” This is made of any piece of timber about the size of the arm, a piece of 4x4-inch by 3 feet long, placed so it will protrude from the pen about a foot. After the pota toes have been planted three weeks loosen the tester, pull out and run youi hand in to determine the moisture. By so doing you will know how much water to use on the pen. After the tester has been once removed this can be repeated once or twice a week. Watch the tester and keep the dirt in proper condition. The pen should be near a water sup ply so that it can be well watered dur ing dry weather. It should be watered from the top about twice a week unless rainfall is sufficient. The "moist test er” will always enable the grower to determine the proper moisture condi tions. The top layer of dirt should be sloped gently toward the center so the ground will absorb and not shed rain, but care should be taken that mud be prevented from forming on top and baking to a crust. When the earth is dry the mound should be sprinkled on the top and sides. The potato vines will grow to the top and sides of the pen (the nearest way to the light), emerging through the crevices and concealing tho tim bers with a coat of green. When the potatoes are matured the pen may be taken down, the potatoes rolled out of the thin covering with a rake, and the material, dirt and dressing saved and used again and again. Potato pens may be started as early and as late as possible, giving potatoes 30 days to mature, except the early ones. The usual time of .planting pota toes in the north is from March to June, but under this method the pota toes may be planted much later than is possible under open field conditions, where the factor of hot dry weather must always be taken into considera tion. With irrigation and every pos sible condition of good potato growing —moisture, ventilation and drainage— always under his control, the grower is practically certain of his crop. Mulberry Pie—Alien. From the Kansas City Star. Kansas will welcome the war on pie 111 so far as it refers to that old alien en emy, the mulberry. Kansas has nursed, an ancient grudge against mulberry pie. It never "took” in Kansas. After filing its first papers it settled in that Btate on the assumption that it was naturalized, and has been trying since the early days to break into the best society. But Kansas has given it the cold shoulder. It has formed a habtt of making its ap pearance on certain joyous occasions, such as picnics and reunions, and scat tering gloom over an otherwise perfect day. Iiet Kansas hike away to a grove somewhere for a celebration, and at the noon hour sit down under the shadow of the trees to spread the regular Kansas feed, and hear some misguided house wife from back east say: “Won't you try some of this mulberry pie?" Knter gloom. In three minutes the men would be quarreling over polities and the women would be talking back at each other. Mulberry pie never made a home run in Kansas. It did not speak the Kansas language. Whatever of fats or of flour are used in Its "works" Kansas feels sure they are wasted. To see it min gling on what the rural correspondents call the "festal board." with such old fa vorites as cherry, apple or mince pie, gives Kansas a social shock and a dietary chill. It will be a sad day for Kansas If it Is oomnelled to open up a drum fire and a big drive against Its old friends of the pie army, but there’ll be the consola tion, at least, that when it comes to writ ing the peace terms it can demand the extermination of tile whole house of mul berry pie. It's Worth a war on pie to be In that position. Mulberry pie may have gained a citi zenship in Indiana atul Ohio, but it has never arrived 111 fhr real west. I,cl the Kansas council of defense Isssue another red. white and blue book defining its no t ticuliir enmity to mulberry pie and Kansa? will go Info the trenches with the motto.

A grand average of 25.9 miles per gal lon of gasoline was registered for the 70,200 miles of travel. Consider that this run took place in 234 different parts of the country, under 234 different sets of conditions, over 234 dif ferent kinds of roads. Consider that these 234 cars were stock model Saxon “ Sixes ”, not “ tuned up ” special cars, not care with “doped” gasoline. That proves that this 25.9 miles per gallon of gasoline is the ordinary, the average performance of 234 Saxon 1 “Sixes” taken right out of stock. And it proves as nothing else would prove, the gasoline ecopomy your Saxon “Six” will give you. No other car in its class can match this record. ' Furthermore, these 234 Saxon “Sixes" averaged 175 miles per quart of oil. j And not a single instance of mechanical trouble occurred throughout the entire j 70,200 miles. There is the proof that Saxon “ Six” is your kind of a car. Price f. o. b. Detroit, $935. Saxon Motor Car Corporation, Detroit She Knew What to Take.
