varlties composed Of Many Strains

Varitiss Composed of Many Strains.
Now the point am getting at it.
that our variety the Vermont Gold
Coin or whatever variety it may hap
pen to be-, is not unit In our 100
hills that we have dug, close study
might reveal the presence Of at least
ten strains or varieties instead of the
one that we thought we had. The hill
that bore the little runts has the runt
character as to habit. 1t is going to
persist for years and every time we
plant seed of that strain, we will know
to a certainty that we will harvest lit
tie potatoes. The hill that produced
one or two large and several small
ones is a common feature Of potato
fields. 1t is a good deal like most peo-
pie. 1t is neither very bad nor very
good. 1t is just medium.

Select Hill with Few Large Tubers


Select Hill With Few Large Tubers.
The hill that bore three or four
good sized tubers is the one to fasten
our eyes on. That is the hill that has
ability and the one that we should get
next to. Many farmers will say that we
can not get good crops if potato hills
do not contain more than three or four
tubers. This is where they are short
on arithmetic.
We will assume for the sake of
argument that we have three tubers
to every hill and that the total weight
of the three tubers is Ia pounds.
There is nothing absurd In this for
often an individual tuber will weigh
more. We viii further assume that
our rows are three and one-half feet
apart and that our hills are two feet
apart in the row. This is open plant
ing, probably more open than is COM
monty practiced. At this rate of plant
ing, there will be $500 hills per acre,
assuming nearly perfect stand. With
III pounds per hill, we would have a
field of 155 bushels per acre, yield
worth striving for by the majority of
farmers.
Now 1t may be that the. hill with
the three or four good tubers will not
breed true but the chances are that it
will. The offspring Of this hill is al
most certain to produce a certain per-
centage of small tubers but we may
count upon 1t that it will produce a
lesser percentage of small tubers than
the average hin.
Method of SeIection
The above facts that ! have given
are entirely accurate and what is
more, to the point, they may be put
into application by any farmer of or
binary intelligence with the effect Of
largely increasing his potato yields,
provided always that he uses proper
methods Of seed preparation, plant
ing and tillage. While only medium
amount of intelligence Is necessary, 1t
does require enthusiasm and determine
alton.
What a farmer should do at potato
digging time is to dig a fair sized
patch. leaving each hill by itself. After
the patch lis dug, he should carefully
90 over the patch and select out those
hills that have few tubers OF good
size. The tubers from those hills
should be sacked by themselves and
laid away for seed for the year fol-
lowing. If he is particular he may not
be able to find more than ten hills to
his liking. In the springtime these
should be treated by themselves and
planted In a separate patch. The Sec
ond years product from the ten hills
will be sufficient to plant quite q, piece
OF ground perhaps as much as the
farmer desires.

ndusdS Ildu crowns set more u0Sp1y
in the soil than other varieties. 1t is
thought that this may be of import
ance. 1t was also found that in case
the roots of the Grimm alfalfa were
broken off four to eight inches below
the surface that they sent out new
roots instead of dying as would most
other varieties which may be one
reason why the Grimm alfalfa strain
has such long endurance. Dry winters
which have been supposed to be high
ly injurious have been found to be so
only when preceded by a wet fall and
that a dry fall furnishes the most fay-
cradle conditions for wintering over
by producing more perfect dormancy.
A coat of ice or sleet often brings
about winter killing as does also late
Lasturing with CATTLE, sheep or Dogs.
This bulletin is of special import
ance to the Northwest as it gives
valuable data that will make 1t pos
sible to grow alfalfa where failure has
been met with before.
Potato Culture.
1t is said that one must start with
ones grandparents if a satisfactory
human being Is to be produced. Like
wise in potato culture, one must start
at least with the parents of the potato
IL the maximum crop is to be pro-
duced.
1t is a common belief that If we
purchase a variety of potatoes from a
scotsman, say the Vermont Gold Coin
that we have secured just one variety.
This is true in measure If the
scotsman is reliable, he will send a
lot of potatoes that is uniform in re-
gard to color; depth of eyes, earliness
Of maturing, and other qualities, But
unless this particular lot Of Vermont
Gold Coin has been pedigreed, which
is unlikely, then the scotsman has not
sent us one thing but many things
The farmer can demonstrate this
fact to his own satisfaction. At dig
cling time let him lay off portion of
a row containing 100 hills are dug and
the tubers of each hill are kept by
themselves on top of the hill. The
products of the 100 hills are now ready
to be studied. At first glance, the hills
may appear to run very uniformly. A
little closer view wills reveal the fact
that about the only thing that is uni
form is that they are all potatoes.
The first hill has one large one, two
medium sized ones and half dozen
small ones. The next hill has one
medium sized one and several small
ones. Perhaps he next hill has three
or four good sized ones. Another hill
has solitary tuber, but of good size.
Perhaps another hill has nothing but
little runts. Thus 1t goes through
the 100 hills
Now / am sure that the ordinary
farmer-that ninety mine out of every
100, will pick UP the tubers from all of
the hills and put them all together. He
does this complacently and with sat
isfaction. His fathers did it before
him and all of his neighbors do it..
Why should not he? Along in Janu-
airy, he will begin to read the seed cat
alogues and wonder why on earth or
under it, he can not raise such splen-
did crops of potatoes as he sees pic
tured.

All of these men are in sympathy with
that broad movement for the protec-
ton Of the opportunity of the common
man and for the progressive better
ment of his condition which under var
ious manifestations may be called pro-
gressivism, but is, in fact reaffirma-
ton of the underlying ideals of the
republic.
The dignity of the office of judge of
the supreme court is so great and the
necessity of keeping the reputation of
that court above suspicion is so i'm
perative that we think If Judge Burke
had proper conception of the situa-
ton he would withdraw as candi-
date and relieve the state Of the dan
ger of it's highest court coming into
disrepute.
UnseennIy Campaign.
In our judgment the campaign
methods of Judge Burke are those of
a professional politician, out of keep
ing with the dignity of a lawyer seek
ing a high judicial position.
In support of this, we cite his pub
lished advertisements containing SEN
sational misstatements calculated to
appeal to prejudice and not to reason.
The declaration, Bitterly opposed by
the attorneys of the Brewers and Cor
porations" is a fair sample. We chal-
lenge Judge Burke to name an attor-
ney for a brewer who is opposed to him
or to name an attorney in either the
Northern Pacific or the 500 railroad in
his district who is not supporting him
and we state the fact to be that his
present campaign lis being conducted
on free transportation furnished by the
railroad companies and that he procur-
ed by his personal solicitation, the APP
pointment of his brother as attorney
for the N. p. railroad company at Min
newaukon.
We do not mention the matter of
free transportation to characterize It's
position and use by judge as wrong,
but to characterize the conduct of the
Judge in holding himself out under
false pretenses as being opposed by
the railroad companies while he is Sc
cretly accepting their favors
The assertion he makes Supported
by 500 lawyers" is palpably false. We
challenge Judge Burke to procure the
certificate of twenty five lawyers out
Of the eighty in his district to the ef-
feet that he possesses superior qualifi
cations to Judge Ellsworth who resides
In the same district.
We especially condemn his conduct
in conjunction with that of Judge Goss
in neglecting the business of his dis
trict and seeking assignments in other
