THE MORGAN HORSE AND AMERl
GAN MORGAN REGISTER,
VOL LIME l.

The work on the publication of this
volume is progressing very favorably,
so that in few weeks the book will be
before the public. In accepting pedi-
grees for the second volume, we have
determined not to raise the price for
registering colts, mares and geldings
and, indeed, we are in hopes that it will
not be necessary to do so at all. The
price must be adequate to meet the eX-
pense of registration, and what that will
be we cannot as yet determine. We
intend to keep the fee as low as it is
possible to do, and have the work we'll
and thoroughly done.
The fee for registering stations, two
years old and over, will henceforth be
Two Dollars each. All other eligible
animals will be registered at former fee
of One Dollar each until further notice.

GIVING POTATOES A srAR1.

Practical Statements Based on Reported

safe and practical to start potatoes in

before the regular time to plant them
then mark out and ret them by hand
the start of enough for an acre of early
potatoes to be made in paper boxes or
sodsY" some New Yorker gives this re-
ply, which is replete with valuable
points to the potato grower:
The only advantage we know of from
starting the eyes of potatoes by placing
them in warm. light rooms is that we
find out in this way which are the
strong. which the weak eyes. which the
blind or dormant eyes, and even this
is not an infallible way of ascertaining
as to the potency of the eyes. For in
stance, If we place whole potatoes of Il
given variety in the sun and warmth OF
a room for three weeks or more before
the planting time. the seed end eyes will
sprout first. Some of the others may
sprout feebly, some not ut all
This sprouting propensity varies great.
kinds every eye will sprout vigorously
and in few days. In other kinds only
one or two eyes will sprout, rs if these
eyes controlled-monopolized-th entire
vitality of the tuber. Again. we may
take two tubers of the same variety
Let us cut one in four pieces. the other
not at all, and place all in light and
warmth The whole tuber will as to
most varieties. sprout chiefly at the-seed
or apex portion.
The one piece of the four which con
tains the seed end eyes will be the first
of the four to sprout. but these sprouts
will not develop 80 soon or so vigorously
rs if the seed end piece had not been sew
cred from the rest of the tuber while
the eyes of the other three pieces will
sprout sooner and grow more vigorously
than if they had remained portion of
the tuber. This has been our repeated
experience. We do not attempt to az
count for it. though snap explanation
with the cambium layer. which eNerts
its strongest developing power at or near
the apex in the stems of most other
plants as well as in the swollen stem of
the potato tuber.
We are therefore of the opinion that
whereas only few eyes of whole tuber
will develop if ii be placed in warm
light ROOM many Of the eyes of the same
tuber would have pushed had it been
cut in pieces and similarly treated The
only real advantage we know of from
starting the eyes of seed potatoes before
planting is that we may in this way be
enabled to select only eyes sure to grow
A long, slender growth Of the eye is
never desirable-such as that which o.
ours in damp, warm cellars, The rea-
son is evident enough. The seed piece is
exhausted proportionately with the
growth of the eye. and the shoot has less
to support it when planted until it can
throw out self supporting roots. Pieces
started in bits of sod. pots or boxes
would no doubt prove trifie earlier than
pieces not so treated. but we would not
try the plan with any hope that the in
crease in earliness or yield would pay for
the trouble.
