The ranger studied the small figure

Best Kind of Potatoes for Wis
cOnSin Growers.

GAS regards the varieties Of potatoes
now grown, the mixture Of type due to
the dissemination of local varieties has
resulted detrimentally to the seed trade
and commercial table stock, says
Mr.. j. G. Milward Of the College of
Agriculture Of the University Of Wis
cOnsin. THE standard varieties raised
commercially in Wisconsin include the
Rural New Yorker, Burbank, Peerless,
Late, Carman No. 3, and Sir Walter
Raleigh. The standard early varieties
embrace the Early Ohio, Rose and
Triumph. Among the late varieties the
shipments Of the long white Burbank
are often mixed with initiative types as
the Late Pride and White Star.
In the case Of early varieties the
Early Rose especially is badly mixed
with pink or rose cOlored varieties such
as the Houlton Rose, King, etc.
The large commission houses Of the
middle west agree that it is the sub
stitutiOn Of these varieties for the stand
ard types that is the most injurious fac
tor in lowering the quality Of the com
mercial stock shipped from Wisconsin,
Minnesota, and Michigan.
There is apparently no reason to be-
le;ve otherwise than that Wisconsin
stock, if properly assorted and graded,
can average as high in quality and ap-
pearance as shipments from the i'm
portant potato centers of Maine and
New York"

fact that other states tax such mort
cages, that doesn't make it just law
and Oklahoma Is by no means bound

they are wrong.
1t is double taxation when the owner
lof land must pay taxes on it and the
holder Of a mortgage must be taxed for
the same property The fact that a
tract or parcel Of land is mortgaged
does not give It a double valuation.
The owner Of land must pay the taxes
on his property If he is compelled to
place mortgage upon it, in effect he
must be doubly taxed under the pres
ent law, for the rate Of interest must
be made higher by the man who makes
the loan and takes the mortgage, with
the knowledge that he Is to be taxed
on the mortgage.
Another injustice Of the law is that
II the mortgage Is taken by an outside
individual or company, the tax does
not apply, The injustice to Oklahoma
capital is apparent at glance. 1t is
placed at great disadvantage by such
a law The intention was to encourage
foreign capital, no doubt, and while
this is a praiseworthy object, it should
not be done In such a way that local
capital is placed at disadvantage.
When land is taxed that should be
the end of the transaction. as far as
the law is concerned. Our statutes

garding mortgages, but to tax them
does not serve the purpose that was
intended, The burden does not fall
upon the man who loans the money.
as it was intended that It should. The
