In Europe, especially Germany, it is
different. There much attention has
been given to the development of a
high starch bearing tuber The result
OF this different condition has been
tanning about II or less per cent,
whereas they might easily have pro-
duced rs to u 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, Il number o.
varieties were imported by the depart
ment in 1872. OF these seven varieties
were planted in Houlton on the Wat
son farm and this year it is planned to
plant all of these varieties In the
event that they retain the high per-
|centage of starch but are not satisfac-
tory 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 avail
ableness.
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 success
fully used in this way. This is due to
the large water content and the low
percentage of solids which the potatoes
contained. With an increased amount
of starch it is felt that the dried stock
food industry would present an outlet
Tor a considerable crop increase
HE result of this series of investi-
cations are being awaited with great
interest by the potato growers of al
Aroostoek county. In addition they
are of the greatest Importance to far
mers all over Maine and throughout
the country.

are the tests being made for the Dur-
pose of aseertaining in which section
of the country the best seed potato for
the southern market grower can be

1909, when seed from the leading va

seed from this crop was then planted
in the Red river valley of Minnesota,
in Wisconsin, Michigan, Western New

average reduction on all glasses Of
from 1888 per cent. to 1881 per cent.
Plate glass, which may be consid$ed
a luxury, still retains duty of nearly

Pig Iron and ForaIngs Hit.
Pig iron and slabs, which were
1885 per cent. and 17.79 per cent.
have been cut to per cent. in each
case; beams, from 1920 per cent. to IL
per cent, and forgings from 80 per
cent to is per cent On the other
hand, bicycles, much more highly
manufactured product, are dutiable at
% per cent. as against 40 per cefIt.,
and razors at 35 per cent. as against
776S per cent.
The idea of the large extension of
the free list for the manufactured
products has been the fundamental
conception, while the effort has been
made to improve the status OF the
manufactured lumber. Thus. sawed
boards, other than cabinet wood, have
been carried to the free list, while
sawed cabinet woods, which were
1915 per cent. in 1912. are now 10 per
cent; casks. barrels. etc, which were
80 per cent, are now 1477 per cent,
and house furniture, which was IS per
cent, is now is per cent.
Tobacco and spirits have been
found to be good producers OF revenue
and have, therefore, been left at the
same rates as On the present law.
Would Reduce Cost of Living.
IN the effort to relieve the consum-
er and to mitigate the high and rising

stance, the duty on horses has been
reduced from 25 per cent to 10 per
cent, cattle from 25.07 per cent. to 10
per cent. sheep from 16.41 per Cent.
to 10 per cent, barley from 43.05 per
cent. to 2S.07 per cent, macaroni
from 1926 per cent. to 1881 per cent.

per cent, to 2&0S per cent. live poul-
try from 1910 per cent. to 6.67 per
cent, and vinegar from 33.0S per cent
