This is one Of series Of articles
prepared by the Farmers Institutes
Department, to furnish information
regarding the production and selec-
tion Of good seed. and to call atten-
ton to the Good Seed Institute to be
held at Redwood Falls next winter.
This Institute is the result of CO.
operation between the local business
men and the State Farmers insti-
tutes Department.
Varieties: Early Ohio is the
standard early potato in Minnesota,
and finds a ready market for seed in
the South. There are other good
early varieties, but they are not SO
well known.
Carman No. 8. Sir Walter Raleigh,
Rural New Yorker No. 2. and the so
called Burbank, are all good late
varieties. It is to the interest of
farmers in any community, who
wish to sell potatoes, to agree on
some standard variety of potatoes
and all raise one variety. or possibly
one early variety and one late yari-

Minneota Mascot: There is no
valid reason why Minnesota should
not have just as good railroad laws
as Iowa. Certainly there is no good
reason why we should refuse to take
advantage of a law that has been
tried for twenty years, in state ad-
joining ours, where the conditions
are practically the same as here, and
which has given satisfaction to our
neighbors. We say that there is no
good reason why this law has not
been passed here. That statement
is probably not correct. The reason
is quite formidable. 1t consists of a
strong railroad combine. an active
railroad lobby and a bunch of legis-
lators who think more Of standing
in with the interests" than they do
of serving the people who elect them.
So. after all; there is probably a
good reason why Minnesota does not
get to the front on this railroad traf-
fic business. But it is a reason that
the people ought to remove. It
would not be a hard thing to do if
the voters simply realized the inn
portance of the matter.

all winters sojourn in Ohio, talked
politics little while here, and from
what he said the condition of things
as regards the present administra-

that section as they are here. He
says the state of Ohio is sure to re-
elect the present democratic COVER
nor. He attended political meet
ings in Cleveland where the mention
of the tariff bill or president Taft
drew no applause from the audience,
showing plainly that neither were
popular.

Raising a False Issue.

A story well known to lawyers OF the
last generation is about the umbrella
case" A man was charged with steal
ing an umbrella, and a number of wit
nesses went into the box to testify to
the offense. The counsel for the de-
PENDANT noted that each witness car
ried an umbrella (the time of year was
midsummer. which explains the neces-
sity for these impediments). AS mat
ter of fact, the prisoner had no defense,
TO make. The barrister, thrown on his
wits, exclaimed: Gentlemen of the
jury. did you not notice that each OF
the witnesses carried an umbrella into
the box? Why is this, gentlemen? 1t
Is done In order to iafect your minds
with the idea of an Umbrella. to preju-
dice the prisoner in your eyes, to raise
"a false ISSUE and ! appeal to you to
signify your detestation of this con
certed action by bringing in a verdict
of not guilty" The judge. who i'm
agined that little attention would be
paid to such plea. took little time and
less pains to sum up the case. The
jury nevertheless brought In n verdict
in accordance with the resourceful bar
rister's wishes. -2London News.

The first display OF the national flag

early In August. 171I. The garrison
was without flag. so one was made
according to the prescription Of con-
gress by cutting up sheets TO form the
white stripes. bits of scarlet cloth for
the red stripes. and the blue ground
for the stars was made from piece Of
the blue cloak belonging to Captain
Abraham Swartwout of Duchess
county, N. Y. This flag was unfurled
over the fort on Aug. 3, 17T7.
The national flag was first unfurled
in battle on the banks of the Brandy
