Potato Cost at Brunswick.

The Brunswick Potato Company has
just issued statement showing the
cost of raising potatoes when person
has nothing but capital and know
ledge to work upon. This season the
company hired ten acres of land and
raised potatoes upon it. 1t hired all
of the work done, and hired all ma
chimes used. The result was that on
the ten acres, 1900 bushels of potato
es, including lis bushels of seconds,
were raised at the average cost OF 81
cents per bushel. The potatoes
brought go cents and over, thus max
ing a good profit for those who in
vested. The cost was divided as fol-
lows: Per acre, seed, 1891; ferti-
lizer, S2236; spraying, 1858; plough
ing, S4.57; narrowing, So; planting
and first fertilizer, 1918; cultfvating
and pulling weeds, 1885; second
fertilizer, 80 cents; spraying, s6.25;
moving tops, so cents; digging, "a BOZ
cleaning up, 90 cents; picking up and
bagging, S5.43. The good showing
made by this company, which had to
pay for everything done and every
thing used, has shown Brunswick
people that Brunswick soil is suitable
to the raising of potatoes. Already
many farmers and business men have
declared their intention of going into
the potato business next year.

On some of the irrigated lands of
the western states as high as eight and
half tons of alfalfa hay are grown
per acre yearly under irrigation. A
feature that adds much to the value
of the crop Is that ideal weather con-
ditions usually prevail for the curing
and securing of the hay. Three and
sometimes four cuttings are secured
yearly from established fields.

One of the interesting and also in
spring features of the big Omaha
corn show was the presence there of
Senior Zeferino Dominguez, II wealthy
runchman and agriculturist who lives
at Puebla, Mexico. He was in charge
of the Mexican exhibit, mostly Of his
own furnishing. and gave practical
proof of his interest In progressive
agriculture by donating the splendid
$1,000 trophy, solid silver bust of
President Diaz, mounted on a hand
somely carved onyx pedestal, for the
class making the best record In corn
judging. Not only this, but the senior
has LOO acres of fine land on which
he is working out the experiments
in seed selection and plant breed
ing and securing much the same
results as are obtained by American
experiment stations. His generous at
titude Is still further shown In the
time and energy which he Is devoting
to get the results of his own and
American experiments In tangible

Recent figures made public by the
bureau of statistics at Washington
show that during the year 1907 the
total consumption Of sugar in the
United States was 1850, 655,975 pounds,
which means that each American con-
sumed on the average eighty-six
pounds. or considerably more than
half his own weight of the sweet
stuff. OF the total amount Of sugar
consumed 21.7 per cent was produced
at home III per cent was brought
from our island possessions, while the
remaining CT per cent came from for
eign countries. An interesting fea-
ture of the report Is that for the first
time In the history of home sugar pro-
duction the output Of beet sugar ex-
ceeded that of cane, the figures being
9G7, 100000 pounds of the former to
GA 100000 Of the latter. During the
past twenty years the worlds sugar
production has nearly doubled, the to-
tall for last year being 32,000,000, 900
pounds.

WASHINGTON SCL0NS MEET
Called to Receive the Report of In-
veJigating Committee.

Olympia, June 23-The legisla-
ture assembled in extraordinary SEES
sion today, called by Gov. Hay to re-
ceive the report of the Investigating
committee appointed at the last reg
ular session. A wide variety of Opin-
ion prevails as to the duration Of
the session. While the chief pur-
pose il calling the special session
Insurance Commissioner Schively,
all sorts of proposals are in the air,
and the session may become involved
in general legislation not connected
with the investigation. The gen.
eral expression OF opinion among
members is against taking up mat
ters of general legislation, but this
disposition may vanish when the
members find themselves divided
tigatiOn and lacking in opportunity
70 trade votes on the main issue for
votes on other measures of general
Or special Importance.
Two plans have been suggested
for ousting Schively in case the re-
port of the Investigating committee
seems to justify his removal. First,
by Impeachment, which would neces-
state the presentation Of charges by
the house and formal trial by the
senate. Second, by enacting a law
abOlishing the Office In case the
latter plan is followed it is likely
the Office of insurance commissioner
would be recreated by another law,
either as an Office to be filled by ex-
ecutive appointment or a branch Of
some other office.

Broke the Record.

A special correspondence of the Bisbee Review states that Wednes- day, September 29 was a record breaking day in the annals of copper production by the Cananea Consolidated Copper company. One hundred and twenty tons was the total yield for that good day ten tons more than was ever turn ed out before. This event did not create any excitement and was scarcely commented. upon. So steadily is every wheel moving and so smoothly is the big camp climb ing to yet higher efficiency, that such occurrences as this are taken as matter of course. Instead of standing still, Cananea is rapidly surpassing the dreams of those who have her interest at heart.
