THE TUBER UNIT METHOD OF
IMPROVING POTATOES

In another article it was demonstrate
ed that the selection of the best tubers
regardless of hills (called ''bin selec-
ion'') gave better results in yield OF
potatoes than the selection OF the best
hills as ordinarily done.
There is, however, another method
of selection which might be found to
be better than bin selection if it were
tried in comparison with that method.
1t is known as the tuber-unit method.
One tuber is used as a starting point.
It is cut lengthwise into four pieces
and four hills grown from it. AS many
other tubers may be selected and plant an:
ed the same way as desired.
In the fall the best groups OF four
hills are saved and used for planting
the next year, keeping each group sep
arate and deciding which is the best
principally on the basis of the; yield
and the desirability Of the tubers.
Some of the best tubers are saved from
the best groups and in that way the Sc,
lection is kept up from year TO- year:
This method was described by Or.

Cornell Agricultural Experiment Sta

A CENTURY OF PEACE

Peace between the British Empire
and the United States for hundred
years is world affair, and not merely
matter of mutual congratulation. 1t
has been a great thing for the Domin-
ion of Canada, because it has been due
to this peace and nothing else that
Canada has extended to the Pacific
coast and has entered upon great
national life with the good will Of her
only neighbor and no clouds Of any
kind upon her horizon. But it is also
true that the great South American
states owe much to this hundred years
of peace between England and the
United States. If this peace had been
broken the Monroe Doctrine would
have lost its sanction, and the South
American states. in their developing
period would have faced the danger of
European seizure and partition. Hopes
and ideals in all that concerns the life
Of the individuals and nations rest up
on experience. Every time dispute is
settled, crisis is averted, moral prin-
ciples are respected, honor and truth
are upheld, and good will overcomes
distrust, it becomes by just so much
the easier to meet the next crisis in a
spirit of forbearance and to find just
solutiens.-From ''The Progress of
the World,' in the American Review
Of Reviews for June.

Judge Sanborn g decision in the Min
nesota railroad rate cases has been
reversed by the United States supreme
court. The victory to the state and it's
people is one of large proportions. The
right Of state to fix rates is confirm
ed in the decision and the two-cent
passenger fare and the lower commod-
ity rates will be in force again in a
very short time. Those having re-
ceipts or evidence as to payments over
these rates since the time of litigation
can collect the amount. It is said this
will aggregate $3,000,000. The action
Of the court was unanimous. The de-
cision will no doubt have a bearing on
the eastman distance tariff bill. This
decision will instill firmer confidence
in the court by the people generally, as
there has been very general feeling
that the "big boys" would always land
the winners.

rife tight Is that the lobbyists do not
depend on arguments, facts or figures,
but merely on political threats. The
cotton manufacturers, for example,
are not quoting the report Of the Taft
board on their industry, for, that re-
port favored downward revision. If
certain reductions are too drastic,
why is not proof Of this presented to
the democratic leaders in the senate
and to the public? . i. 1
!, So far as the furious fight is mere
ly fight Of privileged interests
against an attempt to take the graft
and extortion out of a needlessly high
tariff, we believe it will fail, as it de-
serves to fail. The president has
served notice that he will not COM
promise without reason. He will sign
no bill Of per6dy and dishonor. And
he will have something to say to the
constituents of senators who surrend-
er to the lobbyists and their masters.
This is poor time for bluffs,
threats and subterranean fighting.
The people are with the administra-
ton in demanding genuine revision
of the tariff. They are with it in call
ing halt to blind favors and get
rich-quick duties. If any industry
really needs higher protection than
the pending bill gives it, the appeal
should be to facts and figures, and it
should be frank, legitimate appeal
based on principles recognized by
the president and the congressional
maiority-the principles Of prudence,
fair plav and proper regard for bust
ness and labor.

Have YOU made several paintings OF
peas and corn? 5'.' -
Keep the soil about the shrubs spad
ed and suckers cut down.
Portulaca, candytuft, sweet alyssum
and phlox may still be planted.
Gamma beds Of one color are more
effective on lawn than mixed colors
1t is safe to set out any Of the an

Cultivate the vegetables, fruits and
flowers thoroughly if you would be
successful.

shrubs is just after they are through
Towering.
Swiss Chard takes the pace Of other
leaf crops for "greens' in hot weather
and kale makes good "greens' late IN
the fall. Plant them now.
Remove all blossoms from newly set
strawberry plants. They take toe
much strength from the plant and thus
do not allow it to make the best
growth of vine.
Watch the roses for insects and
either keep them picked off or spray
with Insecticides Soapsuds makes a
good spray to get rid Of the aphis'
Use a clean soap that is free from

Don't plant small fruits or bushes
