Several ears of potatoes have been
shipped from this market of late.
The yield this year seems to be very
satisfactory, and the quality first-class.
In regard to quality there is never
any question SO far as South Dakota
potatoes are concerned-this section
a produce quality not excelled in
the United States. We believe, how
ever, that it would pay farmers to
look as closely to seed potatoes as to
seed grain, and especially to confine
themselves to some particular variety.
We understand that a car of mixed
potatoes does not sell as well on. the
market as a car of one variety, al
though the quality may be the best.
The capacity of our soil to produce
potatoes makes it a very profitable
branch of farming. 1t is true that
the crop requires considerable labor,
especially in harvesting, but we be
lieve that the potato right now is the
best mortgage litter on the list. A
ten acre patch devoted to that crop
for five years, with ordinary yield and
ordinary prices, would lift the ave
age mortgage on the average quarter
section. 1t will pay to try it.

Far sighted and in advance of his times
in some ways. there was one man in the
government service who saw this great I'M
dertaking clearly twenty years ago. 1t was
that one-armed. hard-fsted, brilliant old
scientist, Maj ]. w. Powell. for years the
director of the geological survey and after
ward up 90 the time of his death the direct
or of the bureau of ethnology. Maj. Powell
knew what irrigation had done for the south
of France and for less highly civilized com
munities. He knew what Ii had done for
ages in the arid and semi-aTd regions of
the southwest long before the advent of the
white man. He knew how the toughest and
simplest sort of irrigation works In what
was then esteemed the great American
desert had supported big, but rude and
primitive, population. He also how i'm
proved modern works, with the immense
natural facilities of the west, would water
thousands of acres where the little aboriSi-
nal bitches watered one.
a year ago his dream was realized when
the waters of the Truckee river were turned
bodily into the channel of the Carson river
and the first unit of the first immense irri-
