mar of the committee of Nebraskans
that went to New York IN a special
to meet Bryan as he was returning
from his trip around the world.
The party secured permission from
the President to board the ship at
quarantine before the health officers.
Bryan was standing on the upper
deck, and Dahlman on the lower with
a rope in his hand. While Bryan was
making a speech he stood behind a
guy rope hat worried the cowboy
mayor, as he could not get a good
throw at him. He yelled at Bryan to
get him to turn so he would clear
the rope, and Is he did SO Dahlman

Potatoes.
From The New York World.

From The New York World
This year the potato crop of the
United States is short. There has
not heen "a big crop for several
years. The deficiency has been
made mp by importations from
Germany and Belgium, a matter
which came up before the Ways
and Means Committee in consid
erlng the tantf on starch.
In Germany potatoes are the
big crop. Twice as many are
raised there as in the United
States. The German farmers raise
one kind of potatoes for their own
food, another kind Tor starch and
alcohol and a great many for feed
ing stock. The starch potatoes
are as different from the ordinary
edible potatoes as mangels from
table beets. BY having raised
special varieties of potatoes for
Years their starch content has be
come high. Sucn potatoes are dis.
titled into alcohol. W hich is almost
as cheap III Germany as gasoline
Is here.
Intensive and economical farm
ing Is more necessary il Europe
than IN the United States, where
the land is more abundant and
there is fertility to waste. That
Is why almost all sugar beet seed
Imported, because the Germans
have selected beet seed for Years
with IA view to "a hig her percent
age of sugar. The carelessness OF
American farmers i'll using scrub
potatoes for seed is one of he
principal reasons for the deticien

WILT RESISTANT COTTON.
Improved Cotton Seed Ready for Dis
tributiOn in Seventh District.

Washington, D. c.. Jan. s, 1905.
Hon. Asbury F. Lever, Seventh South
Carolina District, House of Repre-
sentatives.
Dear Sir: We have on hand a small
supply Of seed of wilt-resistapt cotton.
which we desire to disseminate among
the farmers Of your district.
These new varieties have been bred
by this department for the resista nee
to the disease known as "wilt" or
"black-rot," and have not been sent
out heretofore except in a small way
for experimental purposes: They have
proved very successful on land in
fected with this disease, yielding
abundant crops where the ordinary
kinds die. They are good varieties
for any soil, but the small amount Of
seed available makes It necessary to
restrict distribution to farmers having
infected land.
We are. therefore. placing this seed
on a different basis from any other
varieties of cotton. and propose send
Ing 1t only to farmers who have need
OF it and express a desire to procure
the seed. The quantity Of seed Sent
each farmer Is set at one.half bushel
this increased amount being sent
In the hope that each recipient will
raise bale and have seed saved. The
department will also follow up each
case to stimulate seed improvement
by farmers.
The quota for your district is 20
packages. We will be obliged II you
will provide US with the names Of 2G
good farmers with whom we can cor.
respond regarding this matter. In
case you have no application for wilt
resistant cotton on file. we shall ap-
preciate It II you will place us in
communication with farmers in diff
ferent portions Of your district who
could furnish us the desired informa.
ton. In sending out the seed we shall
state that it was done through you, or
at your request
The cotton wilt" as you know,
rather widely distributed in your dis.
trict. particularly in the eastern and
southern counties.
Very respectfully,
B. T. Galloway,
Chief Of Bureau.
