following statement:
Il am deeply sensible of the honor
done me by the American people in
thus expressing their confidence in
what l have done and have tried to
do. l appreciate to the full the SOL

poses upon me, and l shall do all that
in my power lies not to forfeit it. On

this three and one-half years consti-
tutes my first term. The wise custom
which limits the president to two terms

Bates in a presidential year, which is
considered one of the most inexplic-
able features of recent elections.

SWEET POTATOES TO FURNISH
THE WORLDS STARCH SUPPLY
Is the Opinion of Dr. Wiley. Chief Chemist OF
the Agricultural Department

cross is perhaps the most complete of
its kind in the world, and could be
utilized for such investigation as the
experts may be able to conduct.
Mr.. Brantley has made something of
a study of the uses to which the ordi-
nary potato, which grows so abundant
ly and so generally throughout the
Southern states could be put. and Is
convinced that there are great posi-
bilities in the manufacture of glucose,
starch and alcohol from it. In his in
vestigations, the facilities of the Way
cross syrup station naturally suggest
ed themselves. and when he preached
the subject to DR.. Wiley. he promptly
agreed that the influence of the De-
partment of Agriculture should be ex-
erted toward securing the necessary APP
preparations for the utilization of that
plant in the expert study of potato pos
sibilities.
In another year the department ex-
poets to complete its work with the
sugar cane, or at least carry 1t to prac-
teal completion. DR.. Wiley has agreed
to recommend that in the next agri-
cultural appropriation bill there be
added to the sum appropriated to the
department for experiment purposes,
such amount as may be regarded nee
essary to take up the potato expeti-
ments and carry them on as those upon
sugar cane have been conducted, and
he considers the Waycross plant the
ideal place for such experiments. He Is
himself quite enthusiastic over the pos
sibilities of making the potato crop an
other great money-crop for the South
ern states, and will do everything in
his power to make 1t that.

Washington, D. c., April 2S.-'"The
day will, believe, come. when the
sweet potato will furnish the starch
of the world. The possibilities of the
potato are far beyond anything at
present realized.
This is the opinion of DIR. Harvey W.
Wiley, chief of the bureau of chemistry
of the Agricultural Department, whose
attention has recently been directed
toward the development of the posi-
bilities he indicates, and who is pre-
pairing the way for interesting expert
ments in that direction.
This opinion was given in the course
of a conversation with Representative
Brantley of Georgia, who has called to
his attention the advisability of the
Department of Agriculture following
up it's experiments upon the sugar
cane of Georgia and South Carolina,
Florida and Alabama. with some
what similar study of the sweet po-
tato.
1t was largely through the influence
of Representative Brantley that the ex-
perin1ents now being conducted to de-
velop the cane syrup industry of these
Southern states was begun. The sue
cessful results obtained at the govern
ment's experiment station near Way
cross suggested the possibilities in a
somewhat similar direction of the study
by the governments experts of the
sweet potato, and he has had several
conferences with DR.. Wiley on the sub
ject. The experiment station at way
