To Promote Potato Raising.

To increase the yield of
potatoes in the territory traversed
by the Union Pacific railroad is
the object of a campaign just
launched by that railroad, tie
first step Of which is the appoint
ment announced yesterday of
E. H. Grubb of Carbondale, Col
orado, as potato expert of the
Union Pacific system. Mr.. Grubb
will commence Immediately
studying and investigating the
conditions relating to potato
culture in Kansas, Nebraska,
Color6do, Wyoming and Idaho.
His findings will be published in
pamphlet form and distributed without
cost to the potato growers and farmers
in Union Pacific territory. Mr.. Grubb's
work will be supplemented by litera-
ture campaign for the benefit of pota-
to growers. The new official also will
spend considerable time in the field
giving personal instructions to
growers.
The new potato expert has given his
! subject study of twenty-five years.
He is the author of an exhaustive
treatise on "The Potato" which has
been given wide. circulation by the
department of agriculture. His work
will start Immediately, and his head
quarters will be in the company's
ge leral offices at Omaha, though his
work will keep him on the road the
greater portion of the time.
The need of department devoted
to potato culture is pointed out by
Union Pacific officials from the fact
that Americans require annua ally 5O,-
600, 600 bushels more than are produced
in the country. Americans are said
to be fifty years behind Europeans in
methods OF cultivation, though
America has the advantage in greater
soil fertility.
