grows best in moist, cool climate. The
average yield per acre for the whole
country is a little less than 100 bush-

acre are common. Two hundred bush-

yield.

But the heaviest yields, and the best
quality, are grown on rich, sandy

organic matter and naturally well-

and fertilized, often yields well." The
Irish potato requires considerable
moisture for a large yield. Some of
the best yields have been in the west
where irrigation is used. On heavy
clay soils the tubers tend to sogginess.

The program is calculated to suit

species of circus act. But the whole

of clowns, who, by their original and
spontaneous humor, cause the specta-

However, nothing could be farther
from the truth, for, as a matter of
' fact, much of the success of the circus ;
depends on these fun-makers. The
little folk simply demand them—and
everybody knows that the circus must
give the small boy and girl whatever
they demand. The clowns must be
furnished, and the famous Rhoda
Royal Circus furnishes them. Years
ago, in the palmy days of the one-ring
circus, a single singing or Shakes-

dry the soil must be stirred often
enough to maintain a surface mulch |

frequent cultivation is necessary.
