I0WAN DEVELOPS
THE POTATO
Produced by Ida Grove
Man Ripens Quickly and Prom
to Eclipse Other Varieties.
IT. is CALLED eEsoRE's sEs7
A Potato Of Very Fine Flavor and OF
Great Productiveness-Seed Is
Sought by Many Growers.

E. C. Besore, an Ida county gardner
whose home is just out of Ida Grove
on the west, is developing new va
riety of early potato which promises
to eclipse all other varieties in early
maturity.
Mr.. BesOre is a gardner who works
with his head as we'll as his hands and
who has produced wonderful results
on his thirty-acre truck patch adjoin-
ing town. Some years ago he orig
mated, by crossing and careful breed
ling, new variety of potato known as
Besore's Beauty, potato which has
since become popular on account OF
Its fine flavor and great productive
mess. Seed from this variety is now
sought by many of the most success
full potato growers of this section and
lit is from this variety that he is now
developing the early variety. While
Besore's Beauty is a late potato, sports
from the parent stock have shown
tendency toward early maturity and
these have been carefully selected,
nurtured and encouraged until now he
believes that he has accomplished the
desired result.
In his garden. planted side by side
on the same day, he has rows OF
Vaughn's Hiawatha. supposed to be
the earliest Of all varieties, Early
Prosperity, Early Ohio and his own
newly developed variety. When the
writer visited the garden the other
evening the Hiawatha showed no
signs OF bud, the Early Prosperity and
Early Ohio were just beginning to
show bloom while Mr.. Besore's own
variety were in full blossom and in
many OF the hills the potatoes were
beginning to set From these indica-
tiOns it is believed that he has ac-
complished his purpose and produced
the earliest of all potatoes. If this
belief proves true, he will save seed
from the earliest plants and next year
will grow the variety in large guam
titles. II this new variety bears out
its present promise it will become
fully as popular as its parent stock.
Besore's Beauty.
Mr.. Besore does not confine himself
to the growing OF potatoes, but also
produces great quantities of onions,
cabbage and other garden truck, as
well as quantities of small fruits and
berries, and many hogs. His gardens
have been put in high state of culti-
walton and great fertility and retain
moisture when other lands are burn
ing from drouth. Mr.. Besore and his
sons also pride themselves in keep.
ing their land clean and weed is
not permitted to live over night on
their place. One might rake the en-
tire place with fine tooth comb and
not fnd a handful of weeds on the
cultivated land.
Mr.. Besore is great student OF
horticulture and that he combines
brains with energy in the preparation
of the soil and cultivation of his
plants is plainly evidenced to any
one who visits his place.-Registcr
and Leader.

An ingenious method of smuggling
saccharin has been detected at Bre-
genz, Australia, where seven men
were arrested for importinglarge guam
titles of contraband. When the Geneva.
Munich express arrived at Bregenz the
station master had coach containing
seven travellers uncoupled from the
express and detained for examination.
He had been warned by telegraph
from Zurich that seven smugglers Of
Geneva were in the train with large
quantity of saccharin. After an ex,
haustive search the officials failed to
find any contraband and were about
to apologize to the seven travellers for
their detention when one customs In
spector accidentally kicked a hot
water pipe in a first class compart-
ment and the secret was revealed.
All the hot water pipes In the carriage
were in duplicate, differing in no de-
tail as to length, breadth and color,
but one set was Of metal and the
other set made of papier mache con.
tanning saccharin, which is about
nine times as expensive in Austria az
in Switzerland.
