The Whiteman Bros tug Whitewater
arrived here on Friday evening of last
week with barge containing 2585 sacks
of rice consigned to the Donaldsonville
Rice Mill. The cereal was grown on the
Murrell Company's extensive rice farm at
Bullitt's Bayou. in Concordia parish. and
as there is a rice mill some twenty miles
below that point, at Vidalia, it is quite a
feather in the cap of the local mill to
have secured this consignment despite the
advantage of location possessed by its
competitor. The task of unloading the
rice at the river front and transporting it
to the rice mill was commenced imme-
diately upon the arrival of the shipment
and was completed Monday afternoon.

SALARY BURKE

There are many farmers in the
state who want the dairying industry
developed. A large number would en-
gage in it if they had a convenient
way Of securing the necessary techni-
cal information-or could employ,
competent, skilled and trained super
intendents.
There are many farmers in the
state who see the immense posi-
bilities of the dairying industry in
North Dakota and wish to fit them
selves by technical training for either
running diaries for themselves or for
others. ..'.' -
Both these classes are barred from
the Information and training they
seek. Governor Burke vetoed the bill
which passed both branches of the
| legislature and provided for means
for giving dairying instruction.
The North Dakota boy who wants to
study dairying must 60 to some other
state. The North Dakota farmer who
,, wants to engage in the business must
either import skilled assistants or plug
along with catch as-catch-can system.
This means he doesn't get results
becomes discouraged-and returns
to wheat.
In the meantime-"Honest John
Salary Grab" Burke-who bars these
North Dakota farmers and North d.
kota boys from learning a branch of
work that will add millions of dollars
to the wealth of the state-is enjov-
ing that $4,000 extra he added to his
salary when he signed the salary grab
bill. He was elected to the Office Of
governor at certain salary-but
after he got in signed bill to in
crease his financial condition $4,000
for the term-not only from the date
fof signing the biil-but for the two
months before.
This Salary Grab" Burke-who was
not satisfied with the salary that
went with the Office at the time he
was elected-and who by his own act
added $4,000 more-is the same Gov
ernor Burke-who claimed North Da-
kota could not afford to erect a
dairy building at the agricultural
college. While enjoying this extra
,00o-"Honest John Burke makes it
impossible for the farmers and the
youth OF North Dakota to secure
technical training in an industry that
will greatly increase the wealth Of
the state.

CULTURE

wv. L. Waldron, Superintendent
Dickinson Suv-station.)
Early History.
Like most of our important cultivat
ed plants, the early history of the, 20
tato is somewhat lost in mystery. We
know it to be a native of South Amer
lea and probably Of the western por
ton. Az early. 40 the middle Of the
sixteenth century, it was being quite
generally cultivated bv the Indiana
along the western coast Of South
America. The Wild plant Is not known
for certain, at the present day. fol
the plants now growing wild in Chill
and in the Islands of Patagonia may
have escaped from cultivation. How
ever. these wild plants, if escaped. are
probably much the same as the origi
nal wild plants. These plants do not
differ materipally from the modern
potato plant, except in the size and
quality of the tubers. The original
potato was probably an annual, re.
producing Itself by seeds. The tubers
were certainly very small and could
hardly be depended upon to carry
the plant over from one year to the
other.
Other Kinds.
The potato is closely related to
some Of our most common weeds. The
vile smelling nightshade, which bears
an abundance of green berries and is
found everywhere in this state, is
The Ward County independent. [volume] (Minot, Ward County, N.D.) 1902-1965, 1910-10-20

closely related to the potato. But
there are other plants found wild 4
South America and one even IN
Mexico. which are really potatoes.
though they seem to have no possi-
bility for Improvement. One, however,
Commerson potato has some chance
for amelloration. il. Log
Introduction to This Country.
Potatoes were cultivated in the
colony of Virginia at least as early
as the latter portion Of the sixteenth
century. probably having been intro
duced by the Spaniards. From Vir.
ginia it was soon taken to England
and thence to Ireland. The potato has
been introduced into Spain and Por.
tugal directly from South America.
Immature Seed For Planting.
It is claimed that potatoes which
have not reached maturity, which are
dug while still green, will yield more
than potatoes similarly grown, but
which are matured. If this ID found
to be generally true. it NAV b
advisable to dig the seed crop ct %
earlier period than the main crop,
Other, things being equal, that
variety will yield the most. which has
tho longest growing season. but which
at the same time reaches practical
maturity. If . very long season
variety Is selected, It may be cut
of by frost, while the majority Of
the tubers are Just getting their
growth. In such a case the yield
will be much reduced.
In North Dakota, it is not safe to
leave potatoes in the ground later
than the first week in October, for
BY the 10th we are apt to get such
severe freezes that q considerable
percentage Of the crop will be spoiled.
