CATCHING UP WITH EUROPE.

Sacramento Bee:
The telegraph and telephone are nat
ural monopolies, and for that reason
they should be owned and operated
by the government. This is the rule
throughout the world. In Europe gen.
orally they are branches of the gener-
al postal service, and there the charges
are much less than In this country.
More than that, the restrictions as to
the number of words in an ordinary
telegraph message are much less mar
row than in the United States.

DEVELOP IMPROVED VARIETIES
OF POTATOES.

American progress in the develop
ment Of improved varieties of potatoes
has not been satisfactory as compared
with the progress of leading European
countries, is the statement of the Blu
reau of Plant Industry of the Depart
ment of Agriculture in Department
Bulletin No, AZ, Lessons for Ameri-
can Potato Growers from German Elk.
periences."
The best European varieties possess
better flavor, color, and texture, par
ticularly for boiling and frying, but
these do not succeed when introduced
into the United States. If private
growers would engage in this work as
they have in Great Britain, Germany,
and Austria, they would find 1t fas-
cinating industry and would undoubt-
eddy make notable achievements.
In America we have much to accom-
plish in breeding potato with a
greater starch content Our potatoes
are now lower than the German varie-
ties by from 4 to 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 heat
resistant strain that can more success
fully Withstand the high summer tenn
peratures. Disease resistance is an
other quality that has been bred into
certain foreign sorts but is so lacking
in ours that we have to quarantine
absolutely, certain foreign types that
might bring disease with them.
The breeding of potatoes for differ
ent kinds of cooking might even be
found profitable. A variety specially
suited for baking is needed; another
for frying; close-textured tuber is
in some demand for salads. The
housewife to-day finds it necessary to
waste much good material in prepar
ing her potatoes for the table, partic.
ularly in irregular, deep-eyed sorts.
The use of commercial fertilizers
universal in Germany, is unknown in
our western potato districts. Certain
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 i'm
portance to the potato crop in CONTROL
ing diseases and maintaining produc.
ton, but in the United States only the
beginning of an ordered system has
been made. Germany has a rotation
of from 3 to years between potato
crops. Nor has the Importance oil
green manuring yet been fully appre
ciated in this country.
The problem of securing disease
free seed has been met in Germany
by an official inspection, which results
in certificates being issued only tt
owners of disease-free crops. Such g
plan for the United States would bt
better If carried out by the co-opera
ton OF potato-growers' associations

the United States Department of Ar
riculture, rather than through !ega
enactment.

Denver, Colo, Jan. 10.-On the pc
tition of number of farmers who
want to construct an irrigation sys-
tenn, the state land board will cancel
n right for reservoir granted to the
Naturita Ditch company, in San Mi
guel county, in 1889. The right to
use one section of land for a reser-
voir was given upon consideration of
81. Only small reservoir was con-
structed, while the remainder of the
section was used for agriculture pur-
poses.
The right was transferred to diff
ferent parties several times until it
became the possession of the San Mi
suel Irrigation and Land company
More than year ago the reservoir
was condemned. Farmers who have
obtained rights to use of water from
the reservoir petitioned the district
court, and the court appointed re-
ceiver to conduct the system.
Now the farmers want the original
right cancelled in order that they
may build a larger reservoir and a
new system.
The receiver favors the action, and
the land company objects to 1t. The
board held a hearing on the subject
Yesterday. Its members afterwards
decided informally that the right will
be cancelled, and an easement given
to the settlers for new reservoir.

Sentinel Special Service.


Denver. Jan lO.-Complex ques-
tions are coming up daily with refer
ence to the location in Denver OF the
proposed regional bank provided for
by the passage of the new currency
hill by congress. Several very i'm
portant questions having reference
to this bank have within the past
few days been put up to Attorney
General Farrar. one in particular be-
Ing to the effect that state banks,
under the provisions of the statutes
of Colorado cannot take stock in q
regional bank. The attorney general
now has the question under advise
mept. and will render a decision
within the next few days.
The contention on the other hand
is that the federal law permits
state banks to become stock
holders in regional banks, but with
an apparent conflict between the
federal and the state laws regarding
the matter here is a fine point to be
decided by the attorney general.
Already several state and trust
banks in Colorado, three or four of
which are in Denver. have written
the attorney general for his opinion
on this matter. Three banks here
are ready to take stock in the pro-
posed regional bank.
Besides this feature there are sew
eral others that enter into the prop
osition, but the one noted above is
considered the most important at
this time. An attache of the attor-
ney generals office said today that
he belived the question at issue
could be overcome without conflict
between the state and federal laws,
but the method to be pursued was
not made public.
