According to a bulletin recently
issued by the United States depart
r,ent of agriculture the total annual
rroduction of starch from potatoes in
he United States. is about $4,000 tons
Of which 5000 tons are produced in
tbe county of Aroostook in Maine.
Wisconsin is one of the most i'm.
oortant potato-producing states and
stands next to Maine in the production

nafghborhood of Stevens Point in q
triangular area of which each side is
about thirty miles, there are over co.
600 acres of potatoes grown.
This belt is composed of glacial

light loan. The sand is usually
found underdrained by a bed of coarse
gravel. Back from the river are up.

drift composed of clay sand, gravel
and powders, variously intermixed.

occupy some acres, but are not preva-

The three great potato producing
counties are Portage, Waushara and
Waupaca, the acreage planted in 1899
being 25.O26. 1880, 1902, respective

Of the industry, it is only necessary to
state that Plainfeld, in Waushara
county, has shipped as high as 1866
carloads in one season; Hancock,
within eight miles, 1000 car loads.
Waupasa in WaupaCa county is Sec

The average yield to potatoes is 100
bushels per acre.
Factories are operated at Stevens
Point, Waupaca. Black River Falls
and Grantsburg The industry is tech

than in the east. The factories must
content themselves with the small, I'M

"Christ laid the foundation for ideal

duty of the pulpit regarding sociology
should point to the teachings and ex-

President Baker then quoted from DR..
Josiah Strong who said 1--WE shall have

ued:
lit is no false alarm to say that for the
safety of the democracy the youth must
be better prepared for the responsible
ties Of citizenship. The pulpit must
more effectively teach The just and help
full relations of man to man. Civilized
people preserve elements which nature
tends to destroy. Scientific men now
agree that tor the safety of society itself,
we must preserve sympathy in all Its
fullness and refinement, but that we
must find ways to decrease degeneracy.
"Men must be made so altruistic that
they will do good in ways that cost di:-
agreeable effort and without any ground
for self-gloriicalion.
"Let the pulpit teach the people the
value OF organization in the work of
charity. in the state, city and country; to
aid with purse and hand. To keep all

principle of civil service i'll their man.
