Mexico to Raise Potatoes.
From the !Iexican Herald.

-
The department of fomento which is ac-
lively promoting agricultural enterprise in
the republic. is taking special pains to fur
Their the raising of potatoes.
This particular tuber has been strangely
neglected in Mexico. not merely in quantity,
but also in grade, what is grown here being
often an inferior potato, and, even when
the right kind is planted, itis all too COM
monty dug up before 1t has had fair
chance to attain it's maturity,
At the present hour over one-half of the
potatoes used in Mexico are imported Both
the United States and Europe are the
sources from which they come. This is a
condition of affairs for which it is consid-
cred there is no legitimate excuse.
There are vast unoccupied expanses Of
soil In the republic where potatoes might
be grown to supply all needs at home, and
even to leave some for expectation to Gen.
trail America, where demand exists. 1t
would also be paying experiment.
II is suggested to farmers who may think
OF taking the matter up that they should
select as seed the potato of the state of
Maine or Nova Scotia. The potato Of those
regions works out the best in Mexico.
The soil In which II is planted should not
be much plowed or heavily fortified to give
the potato full scope for development
Finally, 1t Is urged on farmers that they do
not dig up the potato until 1t has had full
time for growth and maturity. In this way
the present deficiencies both In quantity
and quality OF the potato In Mexico would
be overcome

The story of johnnie Appleseed'' is one
OF the hitherto unwritten personal histories
closely connected with the development of
the United States. This man appeared on
the Ohio river in 1910 with a boatloId of

tributaries. The orchards thus set out by

him have come a long line of descendants,
making the whole valley one of the most

He planted varieties and conducted many
experiments in grating, and was always
ready to go far in search of new fruits

such a new distribution of art could but
be good for the entire world of art and tho
promotion and growth of its best interests,
He shrewdly points out that it would mere.

ropeans, coming to this country to study
their once cherished but now too high-
priced old masters, would find here many
things besides pictures worthy of their ats
tention. This, while broad minded and flats
tering, is of course true; but we are not 50
sure that the suggested transportation
would really promote the spread of art. BY
patient inquiry and the procurement of LETT
tiers of Introduction the devotee of art can,
to be sure, gain access to pictures in many
private galleries in this country; but that
