Controversy With United States

I lombian Government The British
Minister here has applied his talents

questions at issue have taken up time
in the British courts and chanccllery.
There have been suggestions Of arbi-
tration at The Hague. Meantime the
irritation continues
The Puerto Witches road is not the
only enterprise that has given rise to
differences between Colombians and
British. Another has to do with the
famous emerald mines of Muzo. This
is Government monopoly but a few
years ago the Government made n
bargain with the Colombian Emerald
Mining Company, Ltd. by which the
company was to exploit the deposits.
Emeralds in Escrow.
Suit has been brought to resCind
the agreement. and meantime emer-
aids of vast value are held in escrow.
II is said that the litigation reflects
little credit on either the company or
the Colombian administra ton which
concluded the contract. At this time
no settlement has been made.
NO dire ct pressure was brought to
bear from Washington on the Colon
bian Government or Congress to re-

Colombia prides Itself on the fact
that it is the only republic Of South
America whose domain is washed BY
two oceans. On the Atlantic, or the
Caribbean Sea, is a coast line of $40
miles on the Pacific, of 465 miles

Wants Duties Fixed.
Lord Murray was once asked here
why he did not turn his attention to
private lands in Colombia instead of
going to so great pains to procure
Government concession.
His answer is quoted as something
like this:
The great purpose in seeking i
Government concession was to pro-
cure a specific and lasting agreement
on export duties. Other things being
equal should have been willing to
exploit private lands for the produc-
ton Of oil, but the danger referred to
was the staying factor Suppose
Pearson & Son had invested heavily
in oil enterprises in private lands and
had reached the point of producing
oil in profitable commercial quaint
ties. There would have been nothing
to prevent the Colombian Government
from placing an export duty on oil
that would have put us out of bust
Eess. The Government could then
have made a good thing out of the
opening due to the investment Of the
capital Of others

Panama Question First.
1t seems quite safe to say that no
oil concession will be given to Brit
ish or other interests until after the
settlement of the Panama question
with the United States is out Of the
way. Other projects Of like import
to Colombia await the result Of the
negotiations OH that subject. This
statement applies TO Americans and
Europeans alike. There may be in
the Panama convention clause, ac-

concessions by it to foreigners.
In the background of the opposition
TO the Murray oil contract there lay
last fall and there still lie sundry diff
ferences between the Governments Of
Colombia and Great Britain
one of the most irritating issues
between Colombians and British. as

that which has to do with the affairs

Idle Funds Being
Put Into Good Bonds

CHICAGO March l4.-The great
success Of recent bond sales and the
advance in the price level of securities
since the new year opened are gener-
ally conceded to be the result of the
investment Of idle funds. That de-
manos for money for use in trade and
Manufacturing are not so heavy as
lew months ago is well known.
Failures are numerous, especially
among smaller enterprises which do
not possess exceptional credit re-
sources like a great railroad or other
corporation operating on an extern
siVe scale TO tide them over mnfavor-
able emergencies. Accordingly every
business man, once he has occumu-
lated a reserve, owes it to himself to
invest at least portion Of it in good
securities representing other enter
prises.

DEPTH OF PLANTING POTATO
North Dakota Experiment Gave
the Greatest Returns.

(By f. G. SCHOILANDER. Superinten-
dent of Wiliston Sub-StationD
On May II the Early Ohio potatoes
used in this experiment were planted
by hand on land that had grown pota-
toes the year previous. They received
the same treatment as the other pota
to varieties during the season. BE
fore cutting the seed, it was treated
to prevent scab formation. The seed
ranged from two to three eyes per
piece and one piece was planted per
hill at a depth of four, six and eight
inches respectively. The hills aver
aged IS inches apart and the rows
three feet apart. The potatoes were
harvested September 10. The seed
planted four inches deep gave the
greatest returns in both marketable
(152 bushels) and total yields OIL
yields) Those planted eight inches
deep produced the smallest returns
and made only about one-half the yield
of the ones planted four inches Deep
For an average of four years, seed
planted four inches deep, has given
the largest returns in marketable and
total yields (1O6 bushels) as com.
pared with those planted six and eight
inches deep (95h and 76 bushels re-
spectively). Where potatoes were
planted to depth Of eight inches
some of the sprouted seed never
reached the surface. This also held
true with the seed planted six aches
deep but to small extent. 1t may
be stated that six or eight inches 10
too deep to plant potatoes in this To-
cality for profitable remuneration

PRACTICAL PANT BREEDING
Outline Of Simple Method for the I'm.
provement Of Grain Crops In the
School District.

(By L. r. WALDRON. Superintendent
Dickinson IN. ID Satisfaction,
A simple method may be outlined
for the Improvement of grain crops in
the school district. 1t is known as
the field methodsand while the meth.
cd is not refined one, it has been
shown conclusively that it will pro-
duce satisfactory results. The meth
Cd is as follows: Just before a field
Of grain is to be cut, person goes
through the field carrying grain
sack slung over the shoulder The
person going through the field selects
the best appearing heads of the kind
Of grain that is grown in the field
and places them in the sack. This is
continued until enough heads are
collected to produce sufficient
amount of threshed grain to sow 4
half or quarter Of an acre the year
following. The selected heads must,
Of course, be threshed by hand. This
can be done In the winter, but the
heads must be kept In Z we'll protec-
cd place. The peck or half bushel of
selected grain must be sown upon
clean land the following year. and
care must be taken with that piece Of
ground. The piece Of ground should be
one Of the best upon the farm. The
grain from this ground should be
threshed in clea nseparator. Per
haps 10 or Is bushels Of reasonably
pure seed will result. The increase
OF this for another year will furnish
the desired amount Of seed, and some
will be left over for the neighbors,
who will likely be glad to purchase at
price enough in advance of the mar
ket to pay the breeder for his extra
labor and trouble. It is apparent
that the person selecting the heads in
the first instance must need to have
pretty good idea OF the proper kind
OF head to be selected. A pupil who
has studied the wheat in school will
have a much better idea Of what type
OF head to select than one who has
not done the studying. It will be well
and indeed necessary. to repeat the
above work every two or three years.
Methods nearly as simple o. the fore
|. going could be outlined for corn and
potatoes. II;

. The North Dakota Experiment Sta
ton is undertaking soil survey IN
certain counties in the state. The
purpose of this survey is to deter
mine the agricultural value of the
soils in certain regions by thorough
field study. Soil experts will make q
careful examination of the soil and
subsoil, section by section, and map
the boundaries between the various
kinds of soil. Notes regarding the
factors which influence the crop pro-
ducinr capacity of. the soil will be
taken by these men while on the
ground. Samples of each kind of soil
will be taken when the county IS COM
pleted and laboratory examinations
made. When the field work is com,
pleted report will be published and
will be available to all interested in
North Dakota farming and farming
lands. From this report it will be pos
sible to ascertain the character OF the
soil on every forty acres in the coun-
ty. Suggestions regarding the man
agement of each soil type will also be
presented. Considerable data has
been obtained ON the Station Expert
ment farm at Fargo, at the five sub
stations and ;wenty-four demonstra-
ton farms on various soil types in
different parts Of the state. These
results apply more specifically to the
soil type on which these farms are
located but the soil survey will show
exactly where the same kind of soil
is to be found and consequently
where these results apply. The field
men who make the survey will be IA
miliar with the best agricultural prac-
tees and will be able to indicate how
the results of a system of cropping,
tillage or manuring on one soil type
may or may not apply to another type.
The map Of the county which accom-
panies these reports is of perma-
nent value and can by used as a
source Of information by prospective
settlers, farmers, investors or any one
in any way interested in farming or
farming land. 1t furnishes prospec-
tive settlers and investors definite and
reliable information regarding the
crop producing capacity of the land
and makes it possible for the indi-
vidual farmer to apply the results of
the experiment station work to his
farm. About forty per cent Of the
