lutely without cost to the sender.
The Importance Of naming varieties
correctly Is not realized until the gen
growers, fruit growers, and farmers
from incorrect naming is considered
In a great many cases n variety OF
vegetable is sold under a great many
names For instance, of 800 varieties
of cabbages listed, there are really not
more than ten varieties. The same
condition prevails throughout the veg
etable list.
A careful and complete description
Of all varieties of vegetables that re-
ly helpful to seedsmen and gardeners
in general. For this reason the Bureau
of Plant Industry is ~endeavoring TO
standardiZe all the commercial varie'
ties Of vegetables grown in the United
States.
The of new fruits are chosen
in conformity with rules adopted by
the American Pathological society
which co-operates with the Department
OF Agriculture in it's Investigations.
In making detailed descriptions OF
the different varieties for the files in
the Bureau of Plant Industry every eff
fort is made to secure exact details
Water-color paintings are made of new
and little-known varieties to complete
the illustrations OF standard varieties
already on file.
There is now being compiled a com
plete history of the different varieties
Of fruits in this country, their origin
and development. There is also being
collected interesting and instructive
biographical information regarding the
scientists who have materially aidec
the development of the American fruit
industry.
Any grower Of fruit or vegetables
who wishes to send specimens and re
ceiye information regarding their RICH
names may advise the Bureau of Plan
Industry beforehand, and he will theI
be supplied with a suitable mallinl
box, which may be returned, contain
ing the specimens, without postage.

itching. When the barber would
shave me my face would bleed terri

THE FOOD VALUE OF POTATOES
BY l.. S.. OAKLAND,
Assistant in Agronomy, State College
B~rookinqs.

oiOONil'SS'
Next to rice, the potato is the most
extensive grown and valuable crop in
the world. The average annual yield
in the world is nearly five million bush
els. The potato crop OF Europe In
value and volume exceeds the Guilt
waited crops of the world. One acre
of potatoes frequently furnishes as
much food as ten acres of wheat.
Yields of 1000 to 1900 bushels per
acre containing 10000 pounds OF starch
are on record. II is one OF the cheap
est foods a farmer can raise. One
fifth Of ar acre will raise enough pc
tatoes for the average family in South
Dakota. The consumption per capita
in the United States is three and one
half bushels a year.
The Irish potato is very palatable,
and it is indeed a rare occurrence To
find one who does not like them. The
shape and size of a potato makes 1t
very popular, and also makes 1t an easy
crop to keep in storage from the time
one crop is harvested until another is
ripe.
To know the relative Importance OF
the potato as a food, one must know its
chemical composition. The approx
mate composition Of a number OF va
rieties is: Water, Is per cent; pro
tein, 2.5 per cent; fat, o. per cent;
starch, 20 per cent; and ash, l per
cent. One-ffth Of the weight OF the
potato Is skin. The two principal con-
stituents Of the potato are water and
starch, but it IS poor in protein.
Starch, or carbohydrates, produces
heat and energy in the human body:
| protein builds up the muscles, ten.
| dons, nerves, internal organs, and mus
| cular tissues. Potatoes should not
| form a large part of the diet of chill.
dren, who need an abundant supply OF
muscle-building material.
Potatoes as a food may be compared
| to some food which we may term a
balanced ration. Flour, when made
into bread, is nearly a perfect ration,
| and is often called the staff OF life"
Entire wheat -four contains II per cent
protein, and "a per cent carbohydrates,
| or starch. The percentage of carbohy-
drates is nearly the same, but there
is 70 per cent more protein in whole
| wheat -four than In potatoes.
To show the present relative value OF
| potatoes as compared with wheat flour
| at present prices; 60 cents per bushel
! for potatoes, and s2.7O per 100 pounds
| OF -four; one dollar expected for flour
! should buy four times as much food
nutrients as if expended for potatoes.
However, at present we are not paying
for the food value Of -four and pota'
toes in this ratio. When flour is selling
for s2.70 per 100 pounds, potatoes
should sell for 40 cents per bushel
To any family to which economy Is
matter of importance it will pay tc
substitute bread for potatoes.

Tie Up Hunting DOGS.

Pierre.-Game Warden Hedrick has
called attention Of owners of hunting
dogs to the provisions of the game
laws in regard TO their liberties for
spring months, and has instructed his
field forces to watch for violations OF
the law in this respect. 1t is unlawful
for hunting dogs to be allowed to run
in the fields in the months OF April,
May and June OF each year. Owners
of dogs which are allowed to so run
may be given a fine Of from so to $50
or a 30-day Jail sentence. 1t is alleged
that hunting dogs running at large in
the nesting season destroy more eggs
and young birds than from any other
source, and it is to protect the birds
in the nesting season that this act war
passed.

Clash Over Farm Names.

Pierre.-Chapter 1873 of the laws OF

DECISION ON DRY LAKE BEDS.
Ruling Of Interest to Several Dakota
Counties.

Chamberlain.-A decision of inter
est to many counties in South Dakota
vas filed in the office of the clerk OF
the circuit court Of this (Brule) county
by Judge Frank b. Smith, Of the
Fourth judicial circuit. The decision
bears upon the ownership and control
of areas within the boundaries Of me-
andered lakes in South Dakota, OF
which there are many in the state. that
have gone dry, or partially so, and the
owners Of abutting lands have claim
ed title to the reelected land.
The decision is the result of a case
brought in the circuit court of Brule
county. At the last general election
a proposition was carried by a majori.
" vote empowering the county com.
missioners to sink four artesian wells
on the banks OF red lake. a large lake
bed within the county, which was Of
ficially m%eandered as a lake by the
which has since become nearly dry
The purpose of the wells was designed
to again fill the lake to its norma
stage and make Of it a permanent body
of water. The commissioners proceed
ed to make contracts for sinking the
wells, but were restrained by an in
junction obtained by owners of land
abutting the lake. who not only claim.
ed the rehlling Of the lake would dam.
age their land, but also claimed owner
ship of the lake itself, or a portion OF
il, by right of accrction or reelection.
The restraining order was issued In
April, 1913. and the case came up FOR
trial at the June, 1913, term Of circuit
court. Judge Smith has just reached
a decision in the matter as noted. He
holds: That the title Of all reelected
lands within ~meandered lines of said
Red Lake district is in the state OF
South Dakota subject to disposal by
proper legislation. That the eXpend-
iture of money in sinking and con
structing said proposed artesian wells
is lawful and within the power and au'
thority of said county commissioners.
That plaintiffs, by virtue Of the wner
ship Of surrounding and bordering
lands. are not the owners of. and dc
not have title to accretiOn caused by
the reelection OF water to the center
of the lake beyond the original mean
der line of said lake"
The temporary injunction was set
aside, and the costs OF the action as
sessed to the land owners who were
the plaintiffs.
1t is probable that the county com
missiOners will proceed with the worl
and fill the lake. which comprises al
area Of about 300 acres.
