every respect. The play is presented
by a competent company with COM

a story new to the stage and holds

There is delightful vein of comedy
throughout the play in the character

Should Develop Improved Varieties.
Here is what the government
agricultural department. says in re-
gard to the development of improved
potatoes and it is worthy of consider
alton:
American progress in the develop
ment of improved varieties of pota-
toes has not been satisfactory as
compared with the progress of lead
ing European countries.
The best European varieties possess
a better flavor, color, and texture,
particularly for boiling and frying,
but these do not succeed when intro
duced into the United States. If
private growers would engage in this
work as they have in Great Britain,
Germany, and Austria, they would
find it fascinating industry and
would undoubtedly make notable
achievements.
In America we have much to &C.
complish in breeding potato with
a greater starch content. Our pota-
toes are now lower than the German
varieties by from 4 to s per cent.
Our climatic conditions in America
are so diverse that we need varieties
of potatoes adapted to special locali-
ties. Particularly do we need a
heat-resistant strain that can more
successfully Withstand the high sum-
mer temperatures. Disease resist
ance is another quality that has
been bred into certain foreign sorts
but is SO lacking in ours that we
have to quarantine absolutely, GER
tain foreign types that might bring
disease with them.
The breeding of potatoes for
different kinds of cooking might
even be found profitable. A variety
specially suited for baking is needed;
another for frying; a close-textured
tuber is in some demand for salads.
The housewife today finds it neces-
sary to waste much good material in
preparing her potatoes for the table,
particularly the irregular, deep-eyed
sorts.
The use of commercial fertilizers,
universal in Germany, is unknown in
our western potato districts. Ger
tain of our districts in Maine, New
York, and the Atlantic trucking belt
have already found it to their profit
to use more fertilizer, and potato
growing is most prosperous in these
sections. This should become more
UNIVERSAL
Crop rotation is of fundamental
Importance to the potato crop in
controlling diseases and maintaining
production, but in the United States
only the beginning of an ordered sys-
item has been made. Germany has a
rotation of from 3 to years between
potato crops. Nor has the import
ance of green manuring yet been fully
appreciated in this country.
The problem of securing disease
free seed has been met in Germany
by an official inspection, which re-
suits in certificates being issued
only to owners of disease-free crops.
Such a plan for the United States
would be- better if carried out by
the cooperation Of potato growers

GRAND JURY HOLDS
 TWO OIL CONCERNS

Jersey City, N. J., Oct. 31-It was reported here today that criminal in dictments had been voted by the Hud- son County grand jury against the Standard Oil Company of New Jersey and the Gulf Refining Company which have been engaged in a rate war on gasoline in Hudson and Essex counties within the past few months
 The indictments, according to the report, were two in number and were voted last night. It was said that they would not be handed into court until next Monday and that they were found under the socaI1ed seven sisters books through the efforts of Woodrow Wilson when he was governor of the state.
 Under these laws it was pointed out. it is possi b1e to indict a corpora- ton as such Counsel for the Stand ard Oil Company was inclined to be- 1ieve that it was a sort of indictment which had been voted against his client and not an indictment against the directors of the company or one which would affect them except by imposition of fine against the com pany.
 Ten witnesses testified yesterday be- fore the grand jury as to the part played by the two companies in the recent rapid lowering of prices on gasoline in Hudson County.
