Valdosta, Ga, Dec. ia new
vegetable, which has been developed
by the agricultural department and
which promises to become very pop
ular in South Georgia and Florida Is
called the "dasheen." 1t looks some
thing like flower bulb, except that
it is much larger and has the flavor
Of sweet potato, though it is more
delicate than sweet potato and ex-
periments show that it will make
fully as much to the acre.
The tops Of the dasheen are used
for green's like spinach. Experiments
with the dasheen have been made in
Florida, but samples have been sent
to various parties Of this section of
the State, asking them to give them
trial as an article of food and also
in the truck gardens. 1t is said that
the dasheen produces from 200 to
400 bushels to the acre. The officials
Of the agricultural department be-
lieve that it Is going to be a most
popular vegetable. They claim that
it will be much easier to ship them
than sweet potatoes and that they are
preferable to potatoes on account of
the delicate flavor.

IMMIGRATION HAS

Daily.

The fact that last year was one
Of the periodical lean years in the
northwest has not had the effect to
stem the tide of immigration to
the rich lands of South Dakota
and adjoining states, Is Is seen IN
the fact that while snow is still
flying immigrants from the over
crowded districts of Iowa, Illinois
and Wisconsin are already passing
through Aberdeen on their way to
the newer country.
For more than a week not a day
has passed when eastern farmers
have not gone through the city

average has Geen eight or ten car
loads. Those who have watched
the arrival Of immigrants year by
year say that this is only the adj
vance Guard and That the real mi
grafton will come a few weeks
The immigrants are not home
steaders, but substantial farmers
who are taking families, horses and
and farm machinery with
them and are going to rlow ur the
prairie and establish themselves
permanently.
This immigration is being ac-
by a heavy increase in
traffic on the SouCh dakota branch
lines of tie Milwauk ee, which is
now double that of a week or ter
days ago, and is not back WORK,
but new business, and indicating
that merchants in that section are

OF excessive party spirit. In his
second administration he was lam
pooned, villified and insulted. He
was accused by his detractors of
well nigh every crime and was ever
charged with cowardice and dis
loyalty to his couptry. We know
how false all those charges were.

is well to recall them if for no 9TH
