Vermont, where experiments in breed
ing and selection for increased re-
sistance are under way. These results
have been correlated with information
recently secured by a circular of in
quiry addressed to a large number Of
potato specialists in the Northeastern
States and in Canada. From these 1t
appears that a wide variation is shown
in disease resistance among the varie-
ties now in cultivation in America,
but that no one variety is preeminent.
Among those which have been wide
" tested, the following deserve men
tion as of the resistant class: Dakoto
Red, Rustproof, Irish. Cobbler, Sir
Walter Raleigh, Doe Pride, and White

of great practical utility.
POTATOES.
During recent years the disease re
sistance of potatoes especially has re.
ceived attention by several of the
agricultural experiment stations in the
United States, notably those of Maine,
Minnesota, and Vermont. A recent
bulletin of the Bureau of Plant In.
dustry of the Department of Agricul
ture, prepared by l.. r. Jones, of the
Vermont Station, summarizes and dis
cusses this work, and that along sim
liar lines abroad, as well as the ex.
perience of practical growers. Sum.
mariZing the results. Professor Jones
draws the following tentative con.
clusions:
Disease resistance in potatoes is
relative, not absolute, no variety
known being wholly proof against late
blight and rot. 1t seems related to
general vegetative vigor, and is, there.
fore, in a measure dependent upon
cultural and developmental conditions
and tends to decrease with the age of
the variety. 1t can be restored by
originating new varieties from seed,
especially of hybrid origin. Not all
seedlings show superior disease re.
sistance.
Early varieties may escape the dis
l.,- "a
epidemic, but when similarly exposed
they are, as a class, less resistant than
late varieties.
The source of seed tubers is a mat
ter of Importance, northern-grown
seed giving plants the superior disease
resistance in Europe. Seed from a
crop that was not too highly fertilized
is probably preferable Possibly tub
ers are better for seed purposes If dug
before they reach full maturity. High
fertilization, especially with nitro
genous manures, lowers the power of
the plant TO resist both blight and
rot
So far as skin characteristics are an
index, the red varieties with thick
and rough skin seem more resistant
as a class than the thin-skinned white
varieties. So far as stem and foliage
characters are concerned. the evil
dence favors the stem that is hard
rough, and rather woody at the base
and the leaf that is small, somewhat
rough, and dark colored.
In America trials as to disease re-
sistance have been conducted at some
of the experiment stations, notably IN

CUBAN REBELS CAPTURED.
Last Vestige of Disorder Disappears
 From the Island.

Havana, November 26.-With the cap ture yesterday of the Cienfuegos band of eight men who took to the woods under ex-Chief of Police Ruis, the last vestige of disorder in Cuba has disappeared. Ruis was at first reported to have had a large following, but the capture of the men re- ferred to has proved this to be untrue.
 The reports received by Governor Ma goon from all parts of the island show that perfect tranquility prevails. Investi- gaton of the report that bands of in surgents were operating in the vicinity of Palmyria and Guines prove them to be unfounded. The dispatch of a detach- ment of American marines yesterday to Palmyria is explained as being simply for the purpose of relieving the garrison, in accordance with the plans made a week ago. Mir. Magoon is much gratfied at the peaceful condition of affairs, which he believes will continue.
