A correspondent from Tennessee states that in his section they are tnach inter- ested in this matter, as they very seldom succeed.in getting good results from the late crop. It has only been within a few years past that the conditions necessary’ for sii<*e« c s have been fully understood. Years ago we all assumed that because the late crop is planted in hot weatbi am.aiis i yowns | deep, so as to secure moisture. The re sult of this deep planting, almost Invu- < riably, w as a very poor stand, the pota toes largely failing to grow.

And Expects to Win tlic Race in Novcmkr Next. growing from the small potatoes left in the ground The land had peeu smooth ly harrowed for smalt grain, but not yet sown. The growth of thtse volun teer potatoes attracted my attention, as I, like many others, had been trying to devise a plan for getting a more uniform aland of the late crop. If some of them. grow so well, wby do ip* other«, 1 ask ed, and proceeded to Investigate. 1 soon found that every potato that waa grow ing was Immediately on or just nmler the surface. Many were almost out of the ground and dark green from the sun shine. On turning a few furrows in the land 1 brought to the surface many oth er small potatoes sound, plump and un sprouted and some decayed ones. So I began to reason that doubtless, In dig ging the crop unripe for the early mar ket, many of the small tubers werj so Immature that they decayed and others burled deeply In the soil were hot in the beat conjtirions to favor a quickly renew ed grow ih I then began to experiment and to con p .re the experiences of oth ers who were working in the same line* In my tlrs^exiwrimenu 1 allowed the small potatoes of the early crop to lie ex |mwmmJ tr the light until w ell greened end then planted them and covered them deeply. 1 he result was a rather jioor stand. Other tutors were planted and barely covered with soil. The re sult w a* a much better stand but atiil many gaps where the potatoes proved to be mtron. I became tati-fl*d that shal low covering was best hut did not un fold the trne plan until In a discussion In a 1‘armers' Institute It was stated that some growers were bedding their potatoes and sprouting them before planting. I at once saw that was the so lution. And now for several years I bare not failed to secure a good stand. We take the small potatoes, the cul ling* of the early crop and spread them out to green awhile and then place them In a single layer on a bed of mallow soil jn*t so a* not to touch each other and cover them about an inch or two with light san<ty soil. There they remain until planting time which is here about the first of August. By this lime all the |H»tau*ea that will grow in time for a crop will b* found hi have started their rye*. These arc the only onrs we plant. In planting we plow a deep furrow and drop these potatoes, uncut, and then cover rbeni very lightly in the furrow. A* growth proceeds the deep furrow Is gra-lnally dliet in aro ind the growing plant* and all cultivation thereafter is as flat as possible. No hilling should he done as is practiced with the early rrop, the object being Corou«erve mois ture. Treated in this way the yield is about as certain as It that of the early crop and enables us to grow |>otstoe* that will keep unsprouted all winter, and will furnish the most vigorous seed for planting the early crop. IJuitc a Imsinesa is now spri’uging tin in the sadc of these late grow u seed for early planting northward. It has generally been assumed hy growers that deterioration would set in rapidly if the proee«8 is carried too far. and that it is necessary to get enough Northern potatoes annually to produce aeed for the late crop. Hut, quite re cently, a gentl'Miian in the Southwest Informed me that his late crop from the previous autumn's seed was superior to that raised from seed grow n from North ern potatoes that season. Wo are inau gurating now experimenta in this line and propose to grow anuu illy a crop from our own seed In competition with seed produced the previous season from Northern seed. 1 am inclined to think that much of the deterioration of potatoes in. this cli mate comes from grow ing the crop from seed weakened by sprouting and rub bing off in winter before planting, and that a practice which will avert this weakening of the vital forces In the tu ber will better maintain Its productive ness. Potatoes dug the last of Novem ber and planted again in February will certainly grow with more vigor than those dug in late «uminer dr early tumn and rubbed off once or winter. *8© U may be poswlhlc that the Southern grown seed potatoes may be sought for at the North, ' THE NOMINATION UNANIMOUS.

Several motions to adjourn were voted down by a perfect storm of "noes. * It was clear that the convention meant business, end were determined to complete it or consume the night in ' the attempt. ‘ ' • At 6:24 o’clock, Charles Jones, of Mis souri. chairman of the resolutions com mit to©, appeared- upon the piriform. Addressing the convention he said: "I am instructed by the committee on res olutions to present to yon, m the report of the committee, tho following resolu tions, and move their adoption. In or der that yon may more distinctly hear what the committee has prepared, I in tend to ask a gentleman, woo is as fa miliar m myself with the phraseology of ths platform, to read it for me. (Ap- planne.) And, when it has been read, shall move the previous question npon adoption of the platform." (Cries of no. no. no.) Mr Psttenorf, of Qdorsdo, advanced on tha platform, and Mid : of the statement just made, I willaay that I represent the minority committee on resolutions, and T to announce that that minority expects to be he^rd to present Re report before the previous question shall ta put. * Quick cheers followed this annoonoe- meiit. The Tariff Se—leu A Tha which timeot, wm tha tariff and silver which were apparently not iaatly radical to satisfy fast ares of the platform to cull forth divided sen- 348—no choice. Tnen began changes. Iowa first came Into the Stevenson camp, Montana next, followed by NebrMka. Ohio got into line and great cheers. Missouri climbed over the wall, Georgia wm close behind, rand Kentncky came next The flock of states outside of Stevenson's coops came to cov**r with a rash of wings and flatter of features. It became only a question of time, and when s two- thirds vote for Stevenson had been ob tained the nomination was announced. The usual resolutiohs of thanks to the officers were passed, and the national committee nominations were made. General Patrick Collins, of. Massa chusetts, then took the platform and moved that the Democratic committee should, st the next national convention, provide accommodations only for dele gatee, alternates, ths press, national committees, bat 1 for no others. This wm demanded in view of the gallery interruptions that are possible sad hava been demonstrated. * The resolution wm before the honse when one of the electric arc lamps fell among the delegatee, and a stampede wm imminent for a time.
