The Potato rain.

| Western Colorado, on account Of its
high altitude, cool summers, soil rich in
mineral plant food. intense sunshine and
irrigation which enables the growers to
give the plants just the right amount
of water at just the time needed, pro-
duces the finest favored potato grown
in the world, potato which commands
premium in all markets. The yield
is large and the profits greater than
those from most other farm crops.
This section of the State marketed
in 1907 less than 2, 600 cars of potatoes.
Potato experts believe that when its
advantages for potato growing are
thoroughly appreciated and the best
methods used, that IS 900 cars of choice
potatoes should be marketed from this
section annually.
To develop this industry the Colorado
Agricultural College will hold in March
twenty-five Potato Institutes on a
special train furnished by the Denver

car and two passenger coaches. In the
baggage car will be carried all imple-
ments and machinery needed in Colo
RADIO for raising large yields of potatoes
-sorters, seed cutters, planters. special
cultivators, ridging and ditching ma
chimes and diggers. Plans and work.
ing model of a potato cellar will be
shown, and charts, photographs and
actual specimens of Ike diseases of
potatoes.
Exhibits will be made showing the
types of potatoes which bring tire high
est prices in the market and of pota
toes having various defects which lower
their price in the market
The Agricultural College will send
six lecturers to accompany the train.
These will include expert investigators
from the Experiment Station and prac-
tical potato growers who have secured
large yields and high prices for their
produce because of quality.
The lectures will cover all informa-
tion needed in raising large yields
rotation, preparation of the soil, method
of selecting seed that has increased the
yield one-half. preparing and cutting
the seed, planting, cultivating. irrigat-
ing, storing and marketing.
Attention will be given to practical
methods of preventing disease and of
injury from insects.
The potato for which the market will
pay the highest price will be shown and
its characteristics pointed out.
The lecturers will be given in the cars
beginning at each town on the day and
at the hour Indicated below. AS soon
as the Special Train reaches a station,
the people will be seated in the cars
and the lectures and demonstrations
will be given, followed by an inspection

Loss There is Placed
at $4,000.

While the storm Tuesday evening did
comparatively little damage in the city.
the country in the vicinity OF Council
Bluffs suffered considerably from the
downpour of rain and hail. Fruit growers
report great damage from the hail. espe-
ciaIly to the grape vines. The fruit
forming on the vines was practically all
destroyed and the fruit men say their
only hope is that the secondary buds may
produce a fair yield.
The country east of the city in the
vicinity of Mosquito creek was reported
yesterday to be all under water, owing
to tho creek having left it's, banks. The
loss in this section, It is figured, will be
extremely heavy.
Although nothing definite could be
learned yesterday owing to the telephone
lines being out Of business, 1t was re-
ported the storm had wrought damage to
the extent OF nearly $4,000 at Ben
Marks farm south Of Lake Manawa. Two
buildings recently erected are said to
have been demolished by the trrific wind
and it was reported that a number of
cattle and horses had been killed. Mr..
Marks place was in the direct line of the
tornado after II crossed the river and
swpet towards Island park and Hinton
station, where II did much damage. Five
bunk cars occupied by a section gang Of
Italian laborers at Island park were
swept from the track. but the men saw
the storm coming and escaped from the
cars in time.
The barn on the farm of John Evans,
about six miles east of Council Bluffs,
was struck by lightning and destroyed
with it's contents Of hay, grain and other
property.

out on it's main line near the old Chau-
tauqua grounds and trains had to be sent
over the tracks of the Northwestern.
The Wabash and Great Western also suf-
fered washouts.
The damage in the city was compare
! lively small and consisted mainly Of washed
out paving and sidewalks. The newly
laid concrete sidewalk in front of the
high school was washed out and on sew
eral of the hill streets, including Park
avenue more or less brick paving was
washed out.
On South Main street the water which
] poured down from the hill streets left a
deposit of mud several inches thick over
the sidewalks and in the cutters along
side of the curbs 1t was about a foot deep
Broadway suffered but little There was
no deposit of mud in the vicinity of the
| Northwestern and Illinois Central tracks
which is something unusual after such a
| storm.
The report that the new concrete bridge
over Indian creek at Frank street had
been damaged was found yesterday to be
| without foundation. No material damage
was done to the structure ITSELF the only
damage being a washout at the ap-
proaches.
Both. the Nebraska and Independent
Telephone companies reported a number
Of phones out of commission and both
companies had large gangs of linemen at
