State Fair Receipts,

The net receipts from this years
exposition are no, exactly figured out
as yet. but it is estimated that after
all expenses are met the state board
Of agriculture will have left in the
neighborhood Of $4,000. 1t started
the present year with a balance OF
$4,000. The cost of preparing for the
fair and expenses while it was in pro-
gress aggregated from $4,000 to $S5..
600. The total amount taken in was
about $4,000. which added to the
previous balance. made $4,000 for the
board TO go on. Deducting from this
sum the estimated expenses. there
remains on hand something like $35..
900. This is just about the same
amount as was realized from the fair
in 1905.

berger 1t is expected that 1900 or
1000 delegates from over the entire
country will attend the session. which

Nebraskans will appear on the floor
Of the congressional sessions.

The custom o. men wearing hats
originated In the days when they wore
helmets. These helmets were usually
made of iron or brass or some other
durable material and were intended
to prevent the head of the man be-
ing whacked of by some enemy.
1t was q great deal like our present
day method of builaing navies. Some
one would invent a helmet that could
not be carved with a sword and then
some one would invent sword or bat
tile az that could send the helmet to
the scrap pile.
Finally the iron hats became so
heavy and hot that genuemen refused
ito wear them, and when an enemy ap-
preached they called the police.
So today we have the derby hat, the
silk hat and the straw. Also the fold
ing or collapsible opera hat. which was
invented for the use of vaudeville
comedians A man in ordinary life
may snap his opera hat all he likes,
and never get a smile. but let him
20 on the stage and do 1t and he Is
encored four times and paid $500 a
week.
The silk hat is worn by politicians
and physicians. However. any poll
tician south Of Missouri and west of
Mississippi wearing anything but a
black SLOUGH hat is sent to congress
to get him out of the country.
The straw hat is SO deity con-
structed that it is easily blown from
the head, thus enabling us to scatter
badness throughout life as We rush
in pursuit of the hat.
Hats are removed when ladies' are
present. This is for display of man.
.ners, and not to exhibit the contour of
the Uranium.

Money in Potatoes.

Potatoes can be sold for cents a
pound in New York City, says well
known agricultural professor. the very
best fancy potatoes l mean. As it is,
no one can buy good potato in a New
York hotel at 81 each today. About
$50 potatoes to the 100-pound sack is the
right size. and they must be smooth
and with few eyes. Otherwise the loss
in preparing them for the table is as
high as one third. 1t is possible to
raise l 900 bushels of potstoas to the
acre in Delta county and get fancy
prices for them. A good potato farm
will yield more money for the capital
and work invested than any other kind
of farming"
Like gets like, and you must plant
good seed. Plant small potatoes and
you get small potatoes. Plant the best
sell them. Plant them. The potato
must be considered from the standpoint
of the hill, not the individual potato.
This is where so many men fail. The
hill is the unit of selection. Remember
that, for it is the most important thing
in potato raising. Potatoes need cold
nights, no matter how hot it is during
the day."
The potato is the most neglected farm
product in America today, according to
Expert E. II. Grubb, and where the
farmers of the intermountain region
today raise from 100 to 200 sacks per
acre, they can easily produce from 500
to 1000 sacks, which will command a
price double or three times what is now
received for inferior tubers.
