This Is the name given to Dioscorea
bulbifera, now raised in New Orleans
and about there. The plant is close
relative of what Is known as the Gin
namon Vine. which is Dioscorea ba-
tatas. and which is cultivated as q
climbing vine with sweet smelling
flowers. and which at one time was
thought would prove a substitute for
the potato. A Mr.. Normand in the
Rural New Yorker, says this about D.
bulbifera:
After testing 1t for two years on
nv experiment grounds. find 1t equal
to the Irish potato. with the required
seasoning. The plants produce much
more than those of the Irish potato
on the same space Of land. 1t natures
its tubers during the summer. and con-
tinues until frost. The tubers are
formed In the axis of each leaf. and
to see q vine in full bearing is sight
to behold. Some Of them are quite
large. An analysis Of the tuber made
BY the assistant chemist of our state
experiment station. shows that 1t con-
tains protein. 1.S2 per cent; fat. SIS:
carbohydrates, 20.70. In carbohydrates
il compares favorably with beans.

GERMANY part OF the German
IS press in commenting on
SORE. the RESULT of the cleo
ton in this country.
This was to je expected The Ger
mans, particularly faGse engaged in
trade, do not Hike us. They view with
alarm our growing importance in the
w,5rld of trade. They would have pre-
ferred to see Bryan elected. for Bryan
is not prOteetlonist. Free trade in
this country would be welcome ITO
them Their enmlty to us is shown 81
various ways.
A plan for checking the trade SUI
premacy OF the United States has just
been outlined in u book published by
the president of the German bureau
for preparing commercial treaties. The
position of the authCr would seem II
warrant the consideration of his view;
as a fairly accurate account of official
German opinion as 10 what the diff
cIlties of that country are in indus
trial competition with our own. He
thinks that we Will fo..ow up our su-
premacy as agricultural exporters by
organizing export trade in factory ar
aicles so thoroughly that German
goods will be driven our of foreign mar
fs.,, ~, 49,, l;ner Ll-,,, ,,ri.a
How Is this to be averted?
There is an enormous balance against
Germany In its made with the United
States, and under present conditions
There Is lsttle hope of changing it. The
author thinks that If Germany and the
other leading European countries
would enter into close union with
Russia, the latter would supply most
of the raw material ana furnish an ex-
port market that would make good the
losses caused by American success in
other markets.
The striking thing about this is the
expression of a felt necessity of call
ing. as it were, the r:sst of the indus
trial world to arms to resist this coun
try. How this would work in detail
may be Imagined from the suggested
substitution of Russian petroleum and
trans-CaspIan cotton for the American
staples. The author seems to have for
gotten THAI Standard Oil and the Rus
sian article already have a working
understanding, and that all the efforts
to find a substitute for American cot
ton have ended thus far in the I'M
doubted supremacy Of dhat article.
And then. of course. the attempt to
unite Great Britain in a continental
pact of commerce with Russia again-t
this country, the chief source of Brit
tsh food supply. is hardly thinkable.
But The whole plan Is as suggestive
evidence of the economic Importance
OF the United States in European esti-
NATION as has been seen for some time.
