| feet trials" To state differently, these
are the tests being made for the pur-
pose of ascertaining in which section
of the country the best seed potato for
the southern market grower can be
| produced. The experiment began in
! 1909, when seed from the leading va
rieties raised by southern truck
growers was planted in Vermont. Sc
lected seed from this crop was then
planted in the Red River valley of
Minnesota, in Wisconsin, Michigan,
Western New York and West Virginia.
This was in 1910. When harvested
the crop was sent to the department
at Washington. They were placed
in common storage until planting
time in Norfolk, Va, in 1911. They
were then tested for earliness.
This experiment will be continued
for number of years for the purpose
of establishing the best source of seed
supply irrespective of locality. 1t is
however, believed that when the tests
have been completed it will have been
demonstrated that Aroostook is the
place where the southern truck grow
ers must come if they will secure the
best potato seed.
STARCH CONTENTS
American potato breeders apparent
ly have given little heed to the de-
yelopment of a high starch bearing
potato The chief requirement of the
American public seems to be rea-
sonable prolificacy good shape, with
pink or white skin, eyes rather shall
low and not numerous and mealy
when baked or boiled. 1t has mat
tered not whether the potato would
analyze y or 20 per cent of starch.
In Europe, especially Germany, it
is different. There much attention
has been given to the development of
high starch bearing tuber. The
result of this different condition has
been that American potatoes have
been containing about II or less per
cent, whereas they might easily have
produced % to 81 per cent. of starch.
For the purpose of ascertaining if
the German varieties could be pro-
duced in this country and still retain
their high starch content, a number of
varieties were imported by the depart
ment in 1912. OF these seven vari-

percentage of starch but are not salts
| factory from a commercial point of
view in other respects, an attempt
will be made by crossing, to develop
a new type which will combine the
| high starch contents with commercial
availableness.
The great importance of this is in
the fact that recent experiments in
drying potatoes for stock food have
shown that the American potato was
of too low starch content to be sue
cessfully used in this way. This is
due to the large water content and the
low percentage of solids which the
potatoes contained. With an increas-
ed amount of starch it is felt that the
dried stock food industry would pre-
sent an outlet for a considerable crop
increase.
The result of this series of inyesti-
Ealions are being awaited with great
intcl est by the potato growers of all

SUMMARY

This cash balance has been deposit
ed in the Skowhegan Savings Bank
as a special Horse Day Fund. 1t
is proposed that the affair shall here
after be conducted by the Board OF
Trade, and it will be convenient to
find this sum ready for the purpose
when the date for the event in 1914
approaches.
1t occurred to the committee that,
in connection with the above report,
some certification of accuracy from
an auditor would add to its interest.
Upon request, f. Elmer Nolin, con-
scented to go over the accounts, do
mating his services as a contribution
to the success of the event Perhaps
the suggestion may here be made that
an auditors report should be pub
lished after any similar public cele-
bration. Mr. Noln's report follows:
Skowhegan, Maine,
May 3, 1913.

Paris, March 15.-A passion for war
seems to be sweeping over all the coun-
tries of Europe. The Balkan states
have found a field of expression for
their militancy, but countries which
have not this vent are expanding their
energies in warlike preparations. The
small states are involved equally with
the greater powers, and today France,
Germany Austria, Russia, Belgium
and Switzerland are taking serious
count of their military preparedness.
Belgium is raising her army from a
war footing of 100000 to 100000 men.
Baron de Broqueville, the BELGIUM Min
lister of War, in concluding a speech
on this subject before the Belgian
Chamber, urged that the army increase

the government expects to be able to

The French Cabinet has adopted

Cheron, official analyst of the appro-

compared Germanys expenditures on
her army with the expenditures OF
France during the past ten years. The

der the new German law, the outlay
on the army would be 100 million dol
lars more than that of France.
The new German military bill will
add $4,000 recruits to the army, Civ
ing a total of 100000 men, excluding
officers. Compared to this France, in

Wireless Compass to Aid
Navigation.
Ships that feel their way along the
coasts of France in foggy weather are
to have the benefit of new wireless
compass" which will enable them to
ascertain, practically automatically,
their correct position, and to steer
safe course.
The wireless compass" permits the
detection of the direction from which
a wireless electric signal is sent, and
the signal itself will designate the
point of its origin. Sending stations
| are to be established at lighthouses
and other points of vantage along the
coast, and two already are in opera
ton on small islands off the harbor of
ID Sbl' OlSHdlS lTOm IulS Chilli OF
shore points will be sent automatically
at regular intervals whenever fog pre-
walls, and vessel equipped with the
receiving compass" will be able to
read exact direction of the place of
origin of these warnings. On the re-
ceipt of two such signals a ship will
find it possible, by simple process of
triangulation, very readily to deter
mine her exact position.
A great advantage Of this system of
safety at sea is the fact that the new
compass" is very cheap; furthermore,
it is self operating and does not re-
quire the attention of an operator. The
next step will be to install two more
sending stations near Havre, and 9th
ers will be set up in due course until
the entire coast is protected.
