riety is worthy of the consideration of
growers. One years trial gave us very
favorable opinion Of the Alliance, says
the authority quoted. Those who like
potato with a white skin will find the
Standard equal in every respect to the
Crown Jewel. Being white, it does not
sell 80 well as an early potato, and is
easily greened by exposure to the sun
in midsummer. We hear good reports
from Freeman, but have not tested it.
Other early varieties advertised are the
Vaughan, Early Wisconsin and Early
Northern. This last named is said to be
Seeding of Early Rose
Some wideawake growers are now
going south instead of north for seed po-
tatoes. Farmers in the southern truck
ing districts are not only growing their
own seed but producing a surplus for
shipping north, They plant their early
crop potatoes late in summer and raise
a second crop for seed.

Said to Stand a Fighting Chance For

MERIDEN, March 9.-W. F. Wilcox,
NJ. c., alighted from the II a. m. train
yesterday. His visit had no political
significance, as he appeared in the pro-
bate court on a matter pertaining to the
Enos Thomas estate in process of set
Element heirs of the above estate residing
in Cheshire. He visited the Home club
and was interviewed by a number of
democratic politicians. but talked state
politics but little. He said that the
rumor. that in the event of Congressman
Springer's death, Bourke Cochran would
be appointed as chairman of the ways
and means committee wasi without
foundation, and that Mcmillan would
surely be the man. His visit here re-
vived the question of his candidacy as
congressman. Some of the congress
mans strongest hackers in '98, reside in
the city and intimated since Mr. Will
cox's positive declination he seemed to
be hedging little. The opinion in Mer-
iden is that If the congressman wishes
a denomination he must fight for it
now, with good chance of winning, as
Middlesex county remains solid for him
with az fighting chance of securing
enough delegates 'sifromI New Haven
county to nominate him..
