IOWA POTATO GROWERS.
Agricultural Experiment Station
Warns Potato Growers to Look
Carefully After Their Seed
This Year.

Ames, Ia, March 30.-POtato
growers in Iowa need 10 look careful
ly after their seed this year, warns
the Iowa Agricultural Experiment
station. If they do not, they may
find themselves short a good crop
next fall and out hundreds of thous-
ands of dollars.
I Last seasons weather in Iowa
not make us a good crop of seed
,es." says Prof. A. T. Erwin,
1 w1An charge of the truck and
gar e work of Iowa State col
lege experiment station.
THE Irh ~ atato" is essentially a
cool season plant and the growing
season in Iowa was very hot. When
grown Under such conditions the po-
tato is quite certain to be weak and
undesirable for seed. Our green
house tests this winter have born out
this fact.
This year is a good time for pota-
" 6IoWCIS W oCCulC ACW, Nl6OlOuo
seed stock from further north. That
ought to be done every few years
anyway and there is the special rea-
son indicated for doing it this year.
The logical sources from which to
get seed are Minnesota, Wisconsin
and northern Iowa, particularly the
extreme northwestern counties.
Maine seed Is to be looked on unfa-
vorably Much of it is affected with
powdery soab and is under quaran-
tine
Every year there is a good deal of
but this year buyers need especially
to beware lest they get something
they did not bargain for. There
are altogether too many so-called
varieties" says Professor Erwin. "A
hundred different names are in use,
yet as matter of fact there are only
q important commercial varieties in
America. In Iowa. only or are
important. The Z are the Early
Ohio, Irish Cobbler, Rural New
Yorker, Peerless, Burbank, Green
Mountain and Bliss's Triumph. The
kinds important to Iowa are the Ear
ly Ohio, Irish Cobbler, Rural New
Yorker and Peerless, the first two
being early and the other two late.
1p" "Grocers and others who sell seed
potatoes are offering Irish Cobbler
for the Rural New Yorker variety.
Most of them are doing it innocently,
because they we're imposed upon
by some one. The two varieties
look much alike for they are both
round and white. But the Irish Cob
bier is an early potato and the Rural
is late, and that makes a big differ
ence to the grower. The Irish Cob
bier can be told by the rosy pink
color of the tips Of its sprouts when
they first appear; in the Rural New
Yorker these tips are lilac"

vest in the United States caused a
severe break in prices at Liverpool
before trading here began. The re-
suit was an abrupt setback for the
Chicago market the instant business
opened. There was general rush,
which was followed by a reaction on
profit taking and by a renewal OF
weakness. with later a second rally.
The upturns from the bottom figures
we're largely due to a belief by some
leaders that as the market previous

CURB ASSOCIATION
UPHOLDS LEONARD
No CenSure for Secretary for
Alleged Delay in Ketcham
Case.

BY q vote Of 40 to 81 the members
of the New York Curb Market AssOcla-
ton refused to ratify q resolution to
ccrsure Franklin u. Leonard, jr., sec
rotary Of the association, for alleged
unnecessary delay in formally bringing
to the attention of the board of repre-
sentativcs the case of /. B. ketcham
the curb broker who failed TO deliver
oil stocks which had been paid for by
stock Exchange firms. Ketcham was
later suspended from the Curb Asso-
C.atiOn.
The meeting, which was held in the
Offices Of the secretary, at No. 20 Broad
ST., was called because of a petition
signed by tfty-three Of the curb's
members, headed by Arthur Myles, of
Richmond & Nylcs. Leonard claimed
that be had called Ketchams case to
the attention Of the curb's board Of
representatives Immediately following
the fling Of a formal complaint by Mr..
Brrdct-c, representing the Stock ET-
change firm of Cornwall, Reed e.
Mayer who had paid Ketcham $1,000
for oil stocks which were never deliv-
cred
lIyles asserted that Leonard, from
the fact chat he knew that Ketcham
had not delivered the stocks bought by
Cornwall. Reed & Mayer, should have
notified tho District Attorneys Office
Immediately and thus brought credit
not only on himself but on the Curb
Market Association as a whole. Myles
charged that Leonard had proved him
self incompetent in not so doing.
Leonard in answering the charges
against him asserted that they had not
been made in good faith and that yes
tcrday's meeting had been called at the
instigation Of those on the curb who
have been cndcavoring to GUST him
from his position as secretary.

PRICE MOVEMENT
in COMMODITIES
Wheat Breaks, but Re-
coverS-Corn, Oats and
Coffee Down.

In yesterdays early operations the
wheat market continued its recent Gus
tom of hitting new low ground on re-
ports that harvesting was now in full
swing over two-thirds of the winter
wheat area and that the huge predicted
yield is safe. There have been some
heavy export transactions in the last
two days, and at the decline there was
some disposition to cover on the idea
that the large amounts sold for July
shipment might cause a shortage on a
prolonged period of bad weather. In
the late rally the market regained
most of the early drop and closed at
&c down for July, and from 1sc down
to the same amount up for other OPP
tions. Corn reversed the movement Of
wheat, was firm carly, but weakened,
losing &c to sc net for the day. Oats
also were slightly lower under press
ure of sales.
The coffee market was more active
but lower, longs continuing to tighten
their burdents even on a scale down.
Last quotations were 10 20 IL points
under the previous call, and all the
foreign markets were on lower basis,
with comparatively heavy receipts at
Brazilian primary points.
