Jackson, all of which are very large. It would be a difficult matter to decide between the four lots. The potatoes are still on exhibition at this office; everybody is invited to call and see them. There seemed to be some misunder standing in regard to the contest; as we staicd above, a great many thought the largest potatoes would be considered first, so we have decided to hold anoth er one on Saturday. September lzth.

This one will be determaned by their weight; must not be less than 12 in number. Those having potatoes entered for the other contest, can enter the same ones for the next one, if they desire to do so. It will not be necessa- ry to leave the samples at this office af-tet the contest, if parties do not so de sire. There will be three prizes. First The Topeka Weekly Capital and Re- vkille for one year.

Second The Reveille for one year. Third The Reveille for six months. Let us now determine who has the largest pota toes. Don't be backward about bring ing them in, they make a good showing. Resolutions Passed by the Teachers At tending the Hodgeman County Normal Institute.

water as it falls enters, and is there held in storage to supply plants with needed moisture in times of an extended drouth. This undergroud moisture is brought up to the roots of plants by the well-known principle of capillary attraction, and by an equally well known principle, which leads the plant to extend its roots in the direction of moisture, the roots are induced to sink deeper into the soil than they otherwise would, and are thus brought into a better condition to resist drouth. Again, it is claimed that loosening up the subsoil to a great depth is highly advantageous in times of excessive rainfall, for the reason that by this re3dily down into the subson while oth- erwise it remains on the surface too long, and serious injury to the plant is often the result. Here then are two well-defined, clear-cut propositions, which are embodied in the theory of subsoiling; and both these propositions need verification by actual experiment before they can be accepted as actually true. According to this theory subsoiling, while it may be attended with good results in any portion of the State, yet is especially helplul in the western half of Kansas, where crops more frequently suffer from insufficient rainfall than elsewhere, in the State.

By it, it is claimed water falling at any season of the year is carried down into the deep ly-loosened-up; subsoil, which would otherwise run off on the surface, and tne water is thus held as a reserve, to be drawn upon during an extended ces- sation of water-supply from the clouds. Now we hive been talking for many years about th wonderfully good re sults from subsoiling, and yet nothing has been done in a parctical and thor ough way. I suggest the propriety of stopping this talk, and going to work to demonstrate by well-conducted ex periments the problem whether subsoil mg actually does possess all the merit, or any part, which is claimed by it. I suggest, therefore, that in every county, or in as many counties as possible in western Kansas, one or more farmers together secure a suSsoil plow. (It costs only about $12 Let two or more strips of ground, about two rods in width, be plowed and subsoiled from IB to 20 inches deep across the field se- i lected for the experiment; let the bal ance oi the held be plowed the usual depth, and not subsoiled; let the sur- face cultivation previous to seedin? or planting the crop be the same on all rh at siihsr.il A ond nn that not cnhor.ii.

Plant the field across the subsoiled strips so there can be no difference in th Ti manner of nlantino- Tf corn, or any crop lequiring cultivation. is piamea tne iarmer snouia oe careiui to give the entire neld exactly the same i treatment The conductor of this experiment should provide for himself a book in which to record tha difference, if any. in plant-growth. This record should be taken every ten days. A record also of th a rftirtfn.il anrl wpnt.hor rnnrtitinna generally, should be taken for each per- lod of ten days When the crop is ful- 1 -wv v.wum ly matured, the difference in the yield and quantity of the grain is to be care- liiuji uuicu.

It is claimed that the beneficial Tfi- suits of one thorough subsoiling will be extended through a period of eight or ten If, therefore, the cost of one vxnucu. uj cigui, Ul IUC pected to follow, the cost for each year is but little. 1 xi is oeuevea tnar. case tne first rrHr rr' vij vii v-iup bite; OUUSUllCU strips will be inferior to that ground not subsoiled; but alter plentiful rains iT uffi I 1 1 1 A. 1 1 11 I produce the best results.

If the results from subsoiling are as highly beneficial as tnose wno advocate it believe, every acre uuuer cultivation in tne western half of Kansas should be subsoiled at the eaaliest possible moment; but be fore that expense is incurred, the facts should hrst be demonstrated beyond a doubt that such benefits actually do now from deepening of loosened underground soil. I shall be glad to have farmers in the different sections of the State signify their willingness to en gage in this experimental work. Ry several iarmers joining together in the TMircha.se of a subsoil nlow. and alsn joining their team force, the cost to each one wm ne very ntue compara- tively. It is' this fftachinc out after this reaching out after new eth.o3snd demon- i miuii ui nieir vaiue uy actual experiment, that makes farming interesting, and lifts it up on to a hisrher plane.
