Robert Louis Stevenson dreamed
“Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde,” which is
considered today one of the leading
mystery thrillers of all time.
This interesting fact was brought
to light in research into the spirit
of the story v at the 0 ' Paramount
studios where Fredric March film
ed the famous dual-personality
role.
Investigation shows that Steven-
ison had been seeking a story in

summer, the layers become almost
as accurate an index to the anti

rings of a tree are to the age *of

Moreover, the same system of
measuring geological time has now
been extended over all Scandanavia
and parts of India and South Am

variations of their thickness, year

they were laid down in correspohd-
ing years.
After his dream, complete in ev
ery detail even to the powders,
Stevenson wrote at red heat, just
as the story had presented itself to
him in his sleep.
Within a year after the publica
tion of the book, the story was
dramatized for Richard Mansfield,
who first produced it in Boston in
1887. ,
Now “Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde”

Treatment For Seed

AIKEN, Feb. 27.—Asparagus
growers who plan to set additional
acreage this season are cautioned
by L. P. Watson, extension horti
culturist, that because of warm

the solution in wooden barrels or
tanks. Treat the seed from one to
•ne and a half hours. This may
be done by immersing the potatoes
in crates or baskets or loosely in
the treating tanks. Avoid treat
ing in bags since the bag material
absorbs the chemical rapidly, thus
weakening the treating solution.
After the first treatnfient, add one-
half ounce of corrosive sublimate
to the original solution and make
up to 30 gallons again. Repeat
thi£ tree times, after which two
extra lots may be treated without
the addition of more of the chemi
cal. Then discard the solution and
make up a new lot. While this
system of maintaiiig the strength
of the solution allows a slight fluc
tuation in concentration, it has
given good results in general prac
tice on farms in this state.
Potato seed should never be cut
before treating. After treating
the seed may be cut and planted
immediately, j If seed is to be held
over for some time, it should be
spread out to dry, after which i
may be stored for any length of
time. It is desirable to treat seed
several days before planting in
order that the sprouts, may get
started before the seed is planted
in the field.

2. Plant crowns promptly after
digging and carefully grading,
avoiding drying out or heating,
which would injure the stand.
3. Use" one-year-old crowns for
best results.
4. Select only strong, well de
veloped* crowns, discarding small
crowns and large crowns with only
a few small buds. Large crowns
with large buds are most /desirable.
5. Plant only on ^ood land, for
asparagus is a perennial which re
mains in the same soil several
years. A rich, sandy loam is best.
6. Set crowns 18 inches apart in
six-foot rows, and about eight in
ches below the surface but cover
with only two or three inches of
soil. Too much soil will prevent
the small shoots from coming
through. The furrow will be filled {
by cultivations as the shoots grow.!
7. Interplanting with corn orj
similar tall-growing crops is bad'
practice. Soil-building crops such J
as soybeans and cowpeas are rec- j
ommended, to be disked into the j
soil in the fall.
8. After the crowns have made a |
good growth, 800 to 1000 pounds
of a commercial fertilizer should be
applied. A 7-5-5 mixture is gen
erally used. Half the fertilizer can
be put on after the shoots are fair
ly well ferned out and the rest
about two months later, the
amount to be increased each year
until 2000 pounds is reached the
third year. Asparagus responds
readily to compost and this should
be used freely when available. With
heavy applications of compost, the
amount of commercial fertilizer
can be reduced somewhat.

High school boys of Harmony, Pa., found an old hand-car beside the
abandoned trolley tracks. They bought an ancient Model T for three dollars
and hitched its engine to the car axle. They cover the two miles to school at
the rate of 35 miles an hour. And is it fun ?
