Everett, living two miles east of this city, had his potatoes hailed out Just as they were starting to bloom. He "thought" by breaking off the bruised and battered vines whatever strength the plants might have would go to producing tubers Instead ot sustaining worthless, crippled tops. He plowed the tops un der, using a common cultivator, then with a hayrako broke off the ragged vines, the dlrst holding down the ends. The stubs left, two to six Inches high, took on new foliage and he raised 200 bushels of good potatoes per acre, while his neighbor, who let hta go when the hailstorm passed, raised none. The salv age proved a good average crop, Just because the man used his brains and a little Industry. j Greet CRUISE tf 1915 Br " CLEVELAND " From New York, Jan. 31, 1915 Visiting famous cities and countries on a palatial steamship which serves as your hotel.
