from the frozen leaves. Few are aware
how important is camphor as an arti-
Gle of commerce. It's use in medicine
is but drop in bucket compared
with it's use in the arts. The oil,
which was formerly considered worth
less, is now more valuable than the
gum, as it has become indispensable
in the manufacture of fine toilet
soaps.
One curious thing about the cult
walton of camphor trees (according to
HI. G. Hubbard, special agent of the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture) is the important fact that it re-
moves nothing from the soil The
gum is entirely the product of the
gases of the atmosphere. If the leaves
after the gum is removed are return
ed to the land nothing is lost. On
the contrary, there is constant gain,
and, as in forest, the soil will grow
richer year after year. An old cam
phor plantation, after it has covered
the ground, will need no fertilization.
My trees are growing on the very
poorest white sand, but they grow IS
if they were highly fertilized. The
crop of leaves and twigs can be gath
cred at any season. They can be
gathered from the trees after they
are three years old and with actual
benefit to the tree. The inside cut
tings to such trees will weigh 100 to
$50 pounds. In regard to the proper
method of cultivation, Mr.. Hubbard
says 'For quick returns perhaps
the hedge system is the best-that is
to say, trees three or four feet apart
in hedge rows fifteen feet apart, the
intention being to keep the trees cut
back to the size of eight or ten years.
Planting in this method [ think a
plantation in the fourth season should
return $500 to $500 per acre, with
camphor gum at 40 cents a pound.
The fifth season ought to double this
return
This is a better return than the av-
erage ever received by any orange
grower. Camphor is often rs cents a
pound. The tree is propagated from
the seed, which can now be procured
from prominent seedsmen and per-
haps from the government. My plants
were sent me from the government
gardens at Washington. The cuttings
can be used if properly manipulated.
Every owner of camphor planta-
ton should have distilling plant of
his own, as the cost is slight, and will
soon pay for itself. Small growers
should be able to send their product
to large growers to be distilled. If
camphor cultivation is largely entered
into there will doubtless be built in
several centers of production cam
phor distilleries for the conveniences
Of small growers. I venture to pre-
dict that in ten years, if camphor is
raised largely in Florida, it's product
will exceed that ever received from
oranges.
Aside from it's economical uses, the
camphor tree is the most ornamental

To Increase the Yield and Quality of
POtatoes
Potatoes.

In your issue of May 18th you gave
a result of some experiments, detailed
in Bulletin 100 of the New Jersey Ex-
pertinent Station, of which the follow
ing is an extract:
''Seed pieces from the middle of the
potato gave much better yield than
those from either end"
The middle of the potato contains
fewer eyes and as result cuttings
therefrom will produce a less number
of stalks than those from either end,
and to this fact l attribute the in
creased yield.
Office report the result of an expert
ment that threw much light on the
subject which I will briefly detail:
A certain person had lot, or parcel
of land that he divided into two equal
parcels, and let a son have one of
them, which had the advantage of be-
ing better land. From some cause or
other probably from an excessive fall
of rain) the old gentleman's potatoes
were not planted for several days af-
ter they were cut and consequently
shrivelled considerably after the man,
ner of dried apples. AS result of this
shrivelling the potatoes sent forth
only about half the usual number of
sprouts.
During the summer the young man
frequently told his father that he
would beat him making potatoes, as
he had much larger number of
stalks, but when digging time came
the old gentleman had about twice as
many potatoes. The son had the
stalks, but he had the potatoes.
I considered that this remarkable
difference in yield was attributable to
one of two things-either to drying
the seed potatoes, as above set forth,
Or to thinning the stalks. After test
ing the matter carefully by expert
ment I satisfied myself that it was
the reduction in the number of stalks
that produced the increased yield, and
that the desired results could be pro-
cured more practically by thinning to
one stalk than by partially curing the
seed potatoes after they are cut.
Taking advantage of the light that
had been gained, the following season,
[ thinned my potatoes to one stalk,
Drills three feet apart and the plants
Is inches apart [ believe to be about
right where the land is rich). AS re-
suit [ swept the field at our County
Fair taking the first premium, when
the year previous l could get no near
er than the second. I had potatoes
from seven single stalks that filled a
half bushel and heaped it.
The potatoes were what are known
here as fall potatoes, our summers
are too warm for potatoes but by
planting about the Goth of June they
mature after the summers heat has
passed and far exceed in quantity
and quality those planted in early
spring, other things being equal.
Mulching with straw or leaves is an
important factor in growing potatoes
in this climate; they keep the ground
cool and moist. 1t has been asce~-
tanned that temperature of about 80

Many oflCe-holders can repeat glib
ly the arhorism tha; "A public once
is a public trust" but a New Jersey
county collector has proved the sin
cerity Of his convictions in very un-
usual way. Four years ago the New
Jersey legislature passed law Au-
thorizing collectors to retain two per
cent OF their collections as eompensa-
ton Under this law the Official in
question is entitled to nearly T5rty
thousand dollars a year. But he has
always refused to take more than his
yearly salary of forty-fye hundred
dollars, on the ground that the law
permitted a robbery from the people
from which he was not willing to de-
rive any personal benefit He will not
die rich man. but he has what is
more to be desired than wealth. the re-
Epsct and confidence Of his nsighbors.
His example OF official unseIhshnsss
and integrity is worth more in its up
lifting moral effect upon the commu-
nifty, than If as a mere money-getting
citizen he had given a lifetime TO the
successful accumulation OF moderate
or even immoderate wealth.

GOVERNOR 0trERO RETlT RMS.
Good Work for New Mexico Done by
the Governor While In washing
ton Made Many Friends for
the Territory.

Governor Otero returned to Las Vegas
Washington. During that time he did
good work for Now Mexico as results in
the near future will show.
The governor with delegation of New
Mexioans called at the department. of
state and filed n strong protest on behalf
of the people of New Mexico against the
contamination OF any treaty between
this country and the United States Of
Mexico, that would in any manner, shape
or form interfere with the free and un-
limited use Of the waters of the Rio
Grande by the people OF this territory and
"a has been the case for hundreds of
years.
At the war department the governor
fled request for the detail of an army
officer as professor Of military science
and instruction at the Albuquerque uni
versity and was assured that the request
would be considered shortly and would
be granted in all probability.
The director of the geological survey
was called upon and Il request was made
for the Inauguration and carrying out OF
necessary geological surveys in the terri
tory. The matter has been taken up by
the officials in Washington and the gov.
ernor proposes TO keep Il sharp lookout
and he will push it along with vim and
vigor until the surveys are ordered
made.
As to looking after getting Republican
appointees for territorial federal Offices,
Governor Otero did good deal of hard
work and IA has been demonstrated and
will be demonstrated still more hereafter,
successfully.
Governor Otero also interested him
self toward acquiring Il pardon for \. M.

Secretary Blies WAS seen 40 TO the ex
tension of tho Pecos reserve on the east
and that matter ia in good shape and re-
ceiving attention.
He also looked after aome pension
matters for New Mexico veterans aud
pushed several GASES along in which fav-
orable action will soon be taken. Fourth
GLASS postotlices we're looked after and
several appointments were secured and
others will follow along very rapidly. He
became we'll acquainted with several OF
the leading senators and wherever he

New Mexico's claims for statehood in
every direction. He worked towards sc.
curing liberal appropriation for the
complete repair Of the government palace
