AIN THE AIR" OVER TO-
DAYS CONVENTION.

Trenton, N. J., Sept. 20.--The only
bone of contention in today's republi-
can state convention will be the plat
form. When the republican leaders
went to bad at an early hour this
morning everything was at skies and
sevens so far a sthe platform was
concerned and the air was full OF
rumors that Vivian M. Lewis might
refuse to take the nomination for gov.
ernor. This threat, however, was not
taken seriously.
A subcommittee appointed by
state committee to draft platform
was composed of United States Sena-
tor Kean. Congressman Gardner and
State Senator Wakelee, all three de-
cided standpatters. A rough draft OF
the platform prepared by them when
submitted to Lewis did not meet with
his approval. 1t was not sufficiently
progressive and did not harmonize
with the speech of acceptance he has
prepared to deliver to the convention
after his nomination.

MILLIONAIRE Held
FOR SMUGGLING

New York, Sept. 20.--Mengo L. Mer-
genthau, the millionaire candy manu-
facturer and director in many corpora
tions, was under arrest today chaged
with smuggling and held in $4,000 bail
TO await the action of the federal
grand jury by United States Commits
sioner Gilchrist
In declaring that he was personally
responsible for the actions of his wife
and two daughters, all of whom were
passengers on the Mauretania, Mer-
genthau possibly prevented the gov
eminent officials from making another
arrest.
1t was Mergenthau's own admis-
sions, made before Special Deputy
Surveyor Smythe, which led to his ar
rest While being examined he frank
ly admitted that he alone was respon-
sible for attempting to smuggle $4,000
worth of jewelry through the customs
after the Mauretania had locked
Thursday.
The maximum penalty for the crime
Of smuggling is two years imprison-
ment and a fine OF $4,000.
The Mergenthau seizure, according
to customs officials, is the most i'm
portant since Collector Loeb started
his crusade against smugglers. Be-
fore Mrs. Mergenthau was searched
by female inspectors, Mr.. Mergenthau
was afforded every chance to change
his original declaration. Upon Mrs.
Mergenthau were found two pearl
necklaces and a rope of pearls.

Better Culture Needed More Than
Better Seed in Potato Raising

methods are used in the growing of the
potato crop, then IL will be of great
advantage to improve the variety OF
the potato. In such a case we will
get the full value of the improved
strain. In later articles I will dis
cuss good methods Of potato growing
and also how potato varieties may
be kept up and even improved by the
careful farmer with but slight expense.
/ will also show how varieties may
run out" even in such good potato
growing district as North Dakota.
North Dakota a Good Potato State.
The potato likes a cool climate and
as this state has a reputation for such
climate 1t is not strange that the
state has a pretty fair record for po-
tato growing. For the ten-year period
ending 1905, the average yield of po-
tatoes for the whole country was a
'trifle over eighty -four bushels per
acre. If the country is divided geo
graphically into groups Of states, We
find that North Dakota has a higher
average potato yield than any of the
groups of states except the far west
ern states. These states have a high
average DtCdUSE ItluCn IuClT potato
yield acreage is under irrigation. The
average yield for North Dakota for the
period cited was ninety five bushels
per acre Aside from the far western
states, that grow potatoes under ir-
rigation, there were but FIVE states in
the union that had a higher yield per
acre. These were five New England
states
While we may take some pride in
such record, yet the good results are
due almost entirely to the superior
natural conditions and not to the i'm
proved methods of cultivation. If
the farmers of this state made up
their minds, they could easily make
North Dakota truly a banner state as
far as potato growing is concerned.
AS far as quality is concerned we can
easily grow the best If we should
improve our methods Of cultivation and
fortify our methods with the selection
of proper varieties, then our yields
would easily equal those obtained in
Maine, where they raise on an aver
age nearly $50 bushels per acre each
year. 1t is important ito note that
Maine increased her average Yield
about thirty bushels per acre from
1890 to 1900. Is it not possible for
North Dakota to do as we'll? All that
is needed is a campaign of education
on the one hand and a campaign Of
determination upon the other.

/ In a communication to The Forum,
Supt L. r. waldron Of the Dickinson
subexperiment station, has the follow
ing to say regarding the culture Of
/ potatoes in North Dakota
The potato is a favorite article Of
food on this planet of ours for the an
nual production Of this vegetable
amounts in round numbers TO the enor-
nous total Of Ave billion bushels The
United States produces but a small
portion Of these, say 800, 000,00 bushels
ca per cent Of the total output. This
Is seen to be but drop in the bucket
when we learn that this country pro-
duces 20 per cent of the worlds wheat
crop; n per cent of the worlds corn
crop and So per cent OF the worlds
cotton crop.
The United States not only grows a
/ low percentage of the worlds total po-
+. tato crop but what is rather of more
! Importance, her yield per acre ranks
very low The yield of potatoes in the
! United States is ninety bushels per
acre. The yield of even Russia is
eight bushels per acre more, and in
those countries where the methods of
! farming have reached a comparatively
high standard, the potato yields far
surpass our own. The potatoes in
/ Austria go 151 bushels per acre. those
! In the United Kingdom 1856 bushels
while Germany leads with an average
yield of 1877 bushels per acre. These
| high yields may we'll be due in part
to climatic influences but 1T would
certainly be wrong to ascribe such
{ AI-E
/ The use of fertilizers in foreign
countries is more commonly practiced
and this helps to bring UP the average
yields. But our newer soils ought to
offset this in great measure. There
are two other factors tending to reduce
the yields in this country; poor meth
DDS of farming and the use Of poor
varieties Of seed.
! Very many farmers unfortunately
have no evident desire to improve their
| potato crop. When they do have such
a desire, it is most apt to be in the
way Of securing a better variety.
This is commendable but to do this
alone is a lazy way of increasing the
crop. BY this means the farmer Is
seeking to get something for nothing.
He expects to increase his crop forty
or fifty bushels per acre merely by the
expenditure of a small amount Of mon
ey for some wonderful seed.
Better Culture Needed.
The above is a very important
though very commonly neglected fact
in our methods Of farming. 1t surely
helps the crop some to get a good
variety. This is especially true when
one Is growing g. run OUT variety.
| But If farmer is growing an average
! variety, the most important for him to
| do is to improve his methods Of cul-
ture. When he has done this it will
be we'll for him to improve his va
riety.
