seed Potato Experiments.

The Colorado State Board of Agri-
culture, at Fort Collins on the Sth inst,
met committee of Greeley potato
growers, consisting of Ernest Bliss, j.
l.. Ewing, Professor A. B. Copeland, H.
c. Watson and I. Rothchilds, who
asked the board to assist the potato
growers of the state to develop a seed
potato for Colorado planting. 1t de-
veloped that seed potatoes for the
Greeley district alone cost the farmers
s10S.000 last year, and they are
anxious to raise their own seed under
government supervision. After much
discussion the Greeley farmers agreed
to provide farm and all the funds
necessary and asked that the expert
ment station take charge of the work.
The request was granted and Profess
sor Carlyle and Professor Paddock will
direct the experiment. which is ex-
pected to be of great practical value
to the farmers of that section. The
first work will be to grow seed pota-
toes of superior quality and to make
a study of all potato diseases in the
potato section.
This is new departure for the ex-
pertinent station and is bringing the
work down to a practical basis that
will be of great value to the agricul-
tural interests of the state.

teacher is responsible for child, body,

CAR WANTS PEACE.
Informs Ambassador Meyer That He
Will Consider Subject

Washington, June 9.-The Car has
at last been heard from here and the
result Is not unfavorable to peace
In his recent audience with Mr.
Meyer, the American ambassador. the
Gar indicated a willingness to take
under advisement the subject of peace
and expressed warm appreciation OF
the friendly words of Mr.. Meyer,
speaking as the personal envoy of the
President.
The reception of Mr.. Meyer was
characterized by the greatest cordial
ity and friendliness, and the ambassa-
doris cablegram to the President CIV
ing a general account of the audience
is of a distinctly hopeful tone.
Mr.. Meyer did not bring to the st.
Petersburg government an offer OF
mediation, but friendly offer of good
will,'' as it was understood by Count
Cassini, which apparently was crafty
ing to the Gear. Further than this 1t Is
impossible to record the character OF
the cablegram.
1t has been the effort of President
Roosevelt throughout the exchanges
which have taken place between the
United States and European powers
since the battle of the Korean straits,
to bring Russia and Japan into such
touch as would enable the two bellig-
erents to reach basis of common un-
derstanding.
In this effort he has had the support
of several of the important powers
whose influence carries weight with
both the warning governments.

St. Petersburg, June 8. 1850 a. M
The voice of the delegates of the

,manding in no uncertain tone the i'm
mediate convocation of a national as
sembly to pass upon the question OF
peace or war, to heal internal strife
and to unite the people for the reju-

the address adopted by the all-Rus-
isian zemstvo congress at Moscow,
(which a deputation headed by Count
Hayden and NJ. Shipoff is bringing to
present to the Emperor.
, The document bids fair to become
history. The customary phrases of re-

The address arraigns the bureau

A Salida special to the Denver News
under date of June 9Th says: Luther
Burbank, the wizard of plant culture,
whose recent experiments at his farm
in California have resulted in mar
velous plant growth. has turned his
attention to the Colorado rubber plant
and will make several experiments
with the weed. A statement to this
effect is contained in a letter from Mr..
Burbank to Secretary o. j. Kennedy
of the Salida Board of Trade. Mr..
Burbank says:
although l am cultivating one-half
the plants that grow in any part of
the world except the tropical section.
l shall be pleased to test and if pos
sible improve the rubber plant which
grows wild in Colorado"
Mr.. Burbank asked that a specimen
of the plant and some of the seeds
be sent him.
The first test made yesterday by a
local rubber extraction machine pro-
duced one pound of crude rubber from
ten pounds of the root. DR.. r. H. True.
a representative of the plant industry
department at Washington, will re-
turn to Salida during the present
month and continue his study of the

George Munro returned last night
and st. Louis. and today announced
to Record reporter that he had been
given the contract for building the
new Carnegie library for Roswell,
and that the work will be commenced
at once. This will be good news for
the citizens of Roswell who have long
been anxious for the new structure
to go up.
Some time ago the committee in
charge met and opened whatever bids
had been offered. Mr.. Munro was the
only bidder, and the amount he ask
ed was more than the committee had
the liberty to pay. The bid was on
the original plans. The matter was
put in the hands of ]. j. Hagerman
with the suggestion that the plans
be altered so the expense would not
be so great. The basement of the pro-
posed structure was taken from the
specifications. and the contract was
let privately by Mr.. Hagerman to
Mr. Munro at $4,000. The matter was
not made public at the time. A room
will be erected at the rear of the
main building for a heating house,
toilet rooms and lumber room The
library building will be constructed
of buff brick and stone. as originally
intended.
After the contract was let, Mr.. Nun
ro went to Missouri cities TO secure
proper material. He states that the
work will be started as soon as ha
can get stone on the lot for the foun-
dation. Architect Viney. of Dallas
who has been secured to supervise
the work, is here, having come with
