AMERICANS SHOULD DEVELOP
IMPROVED POTATOES,

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 is the state
ment OF the Bureau of Plant Industry
of the Department of Agriculture in
Department Bulletin No. II, Lessons
For American Potato Growers From
German Experiences"
The best European varieties possess
better flavor, color and texture, par
ticularly for boiling and frying, but
these do not succeed when intro
duced into the United States. If pri-
vate growers would engage in this
| work as they have in Great Britain.
Germany and Austria, they would find
1t fascinating industry and would
undoubtedly make notable achieve
ments.
In America we have much to accom-
plish in breeding a potato with a
greater starch content. Our pota-
toes are now lower than the German
varieties by from to per cent.
Our climatic conditions in America
are so diverse that we need varie-
ties OF potatoes adapted to special
localities. Particularly do we need
heat-reistant strain that can more sue.
cessfully withstand the high summer
temperatures. Disease resistance is
another quality that has been bred
into certain foreign srots, but is so
lacking in ours that we have to quar-
antine absolutely, certain foreign
types that might bring disease with
them.
The breeding of potatoes for diff
ferent kinds of cooking might even be
found profitable. A variety specially
suited for baking is needed; another
for frying; close-texted tuber is in
some demand for salads. The house
wife to-day Ands it necessary to waste
much good material in preparing her
potatoes for the table, particularly
the irregular, deep-eyed sorts.
The use Of commercial fertilizers,
universally in Germany, is unknown
in our Western potato districts. Ger
tain Of our districts in Maine, New
York and other Atlantic trucking belts
have already found it to their croft
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 con-
trolling disease and maintaining pro.
duction, but in the United States only
the beginning of an ordered system has
been made. Germany has a rotation
Of from 8 to years between potato
crops. Nor has the Importance of
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 re-
suits in certificates being issued only
to owners of disease-free crops. Such
a plan in the United States would be
better if carried out by the co-opera-
ton of potato-growers associations,
the State experiment stations, and the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture. rather than through legal en-
actment.

MANY STEPS OF
TANGO ARE TAUGHT

Partisan dancing masters are now
teaching 200 steps of the tango, and
many of the more difficult steps are
being tried at the public resorts
Afternoon tea dances are numerous
and in the evenings restaurants which
allow the tango are crowded with
dancers. American dance tunes, some
of them of not very recent origin, are
played to a considerable extent. One
song containing the strains of Dixie
is often heard.
Occasionally the one-step and fish,
walk, and, of course, the waltz and
two-step are danced, but preference
is given to the tango.

There is more Catarrh in this Sec
ton of the country than all the other
diseases put together, and until the
last few years was supposed to be in
durable. For a great MANY years the
doctors pronounced it a local disease
and prescribed local remedies, and by
constant failing to cure with local
treatment, pronounced it incurable.
Science has proven Catarrh to be a
constitutional disease, therefore re-
quires constitutional treatment.
Halls Catarrh Cure, manufactured by
F. j. Cheney & Co., Toledo, o., is the
only constitutional cure on the mar
ket. 1t is taken internally in doses
from 10 drops to teaspoonful. It
acts directly on the blood and mucous
surfaces of the system. They offer
One Hundred Dollars for any case it
fails to cure. Send for circulars and
testimonials.

WATCH STOLEN At
0. & R. 6. DEPOT

Miss Iva Warren Of Chandler had a
gold watch stoIer from her at the
Denver & Rio GIande railroad station
about IL o'clock Tuesday morning
while waiting foI a train to go to
Colorado Spring5. The watch, which
was a very valuable one. was en-
closed In q purso. which in turn was
carried in handbag. Miss Warren
had occasion to go out Of the waiting
room at the depot for few minutes
and left the handbag lying on one of
the radiators. When Miss Warren re-
turned to the room she picked up
the handbag and on looking into 1t
discovered hat the purse containing
the timepis q was missing.
After assuring herself hat she had
not transferred IL to her suit case.
she came up town and exported her
loss to the polics authorities. officer
Skinner was detailed to assist her in
an effort to recover the property.
Suspicion was directed to a woman.
who subsequently gave her name as
Blanche Mcbride as the guilty party
and she was located about noon by
the officer and taken into custody.
The Mcbride women at first indig.
nantly denied any connection with
the affair. but later acknowledged the
theft OF the watch She said that she
came to Canon City a week or so
ago to take employment with a NOV
ing picture company. but had been
discharged and had stolen the watch
In order 20 ,btain money to get back
home The watch she said had been
pawned at a store in Prospect
Heights for $3.50 and could be had on
the payment OF that amount to those
with whom she had left II. Her
statement was found to be true and
the timepiece was redeemed and re-
stored to the risbtfui owner.
Miss Warren refused to prosecute
the Mcbride woman for the theft and
contributed generously to . fund
raised by the authorities to send her
back to Pueblo. where she belonged.
