By PROF. L. r. wALDRoN. North Da-
kota.)
1t is a common belief that II we
purchase variety of potatoes from
scotsman that we have secured just
one variety. This is true in a measure.
If the scotsman is reliable, he will
send potatoes that are uniform in
color, depth Of eyes, earliness of ma
turing, and other qualities. But I'M
less these particular potatoes have
been pedigreed, then we have not re-
ceived one thing but many.
The farmer can demonstrate this
fact to his own satisfaction. At dig
ging time let him lay of portion OF
a row containing 100 hills. In order
to show this, each hill must have
come from only one piece OF seed.
The 100 hills are dug and the tubers
of each hill are kept by themselves
on top of the hill. The products or
the 100 hills are now ready to be
studied.
At first glance the hills may appear
to run very uniformly. A little closer
view will reveal the fact that about
the only thing that 10 uniform is that
they are all potatoes. The first hill
has one large one, two medium-sized
ones and half-a-dozen small ones. The
next hill has one medium-sized one
and several small ones. Perhaps the
next hill has three or four good-sized
ones. Another hill has a solitary
tuber, but of good size. Perhaps an
other hill has nothing but little runts.
Thus it goes through the 100 hills.
The ordinary farmer will pick up the
tubers from all of the hills and put
them all together. He does this COM
placently and with satisfaction. His
fathers did it before MIN and all OF
his neighbors do 1t. Why should moi
he?
Late in winter, when he begins to
read the seed catalogs, he wonders
why on earth, or under 1t, ne cannot
raise such splendid crops of potatoes
as he sees pictured Now. that is the
point | am getting att our variety Ii
not a unit
In our 100 hills that we have dug
close study might reveal the presence
of at least ten strains or varieties, In
stead of the one that we thought W,
had.
The hill that bore the little runti
has the runt character as habit. |
is going to persist for years, and ever,
i time we plant seed of that strain W,
will know to certainty that we will
harvest little potatoes.
The hill that produces one or tw,
large and several small ones, is com
mon feature of potato fields.
The hill that bore three or fou
good-sized tubers is the one to taste
our eyes on. That is the hill that ha
ability and the one that we should &c
next to.
We will assume that we have thre
tubers to every hill and that the tots
weight of the three tubers is one an
one-half pounds. There Is nothing al
surd in this, for often an individus
tuber will weigh more.
We will further assume that on
rows are three and one-half feet apai
and that our hills are two feet apal
in the row. This is open planting
probably more open than is commonl
practiced.
At this rate of planting there wi
: be $500 hills per acre, assuming nea
iy a perfect stand. With one and on
half pounds per hill. we would have
field OF 1866 bushels per acre, a vie
worth striving for by the majority |
/ farmers.

Now 1t may be that the hill vii

Hon. S. r. Christie for withdrawing

''Patriotic.-We cannot too highly
commend the action Of G. c. Brown
and S. R. Christie, both of whom had
announced themselves as candidates
for sheriff. When it was suggested
to them if they both continued in
the field there was possibility OF
having some one to fill the Office who
would not be elected by the popular
vote they readily agreed to place
their cases in the hands Of four
friends to decide as to who should
come down. These four could not
decide, when fifth was called in and
decided in favor of Mr. Brown. Mr..
Christie is now working for Mr.. B.,
for which we hope he will be remem-
bered in future. If reports are true
