Potato Standardization.

Steps toward the standardizing of
Minnesota potatoes are being taken
by the Minnesota Crop Improvement
association and the Minnesota Po-
tato Growers association.
A subcommittee on potatoes in
the Minnesota Crop Improvement as
ISOLATION has outlined tentative
scheme for standardizing varieties
and giving simple and efficient clas-
sification. The scheme, as devised,
calls for the elimination of all dup
licates and of classifying all the oval
types.
Among the late potatoes there are
two main 1,types-the' Rurals and the
Green Mountain. The Rurals are
distinguished by purple flowers and
purple stalks and include Rural New
Yorker, Carman No. 5 and Sir Walter
Raleigh. .,. The Green Mountain type
is distinguished. by white flowers and
green stalks, and includes the Green
Mountain, the Mckinley and Carman
No. 1. A third group, known as the
Burbank, has for it's representatives
the Burbank and Russell or Melted
Gem. The Russell or Melted Gem
is recommended for special localities.
Among the early potatoes, CLASH
fled according to the color of the tu-
Der, are the Early Ohio, Triumph and
Cobbler.
This scheme, in the preparation OF
which the Improvement association s
subcommittee co-operated with the
Potato Growers association, has met
with high praise and it is believed
when the plan for standardizing has
been fully developed, Minnesota s
standards and classes will rank as
the equals of those of other promin-
ent, potato growing states.
Minnesota. is making rapid strides
as potato state and this movement
to organize the industry for uniform
ity and high quality of product will
do much to advance the business and
give Minnesota potato growers higher
prices for their output.

HOUSE IGNORED AID WISE
Hammond's Suggestion Concerning
Referendum Amendment Forgotten
by House Fate Uncertain.
VOTERS SHOWED sD1sAPPRovALI

BY passing the initiative and re-
ferendum amendment bill Wednesday,
the house ignored the recemmend,l-
ton of Governor Hammond and the
vote of disapproval of a similar
amendment cast at the last election
when it was defeated by more than
10000 ballots. 81
In his inaugural address, Cover
nor Hammond, in commenting in the
defeat of this amendment, said:
- It. Was, III Advised.
1T is probable that there were
many voters in Minnesota whosbeliev-
ed in direct legislation by the people
who would have supported the pro-
posed amendment were it not for the
manner in which it came before
them. The details of the plan were
incorporated in the amendment. This,
in my judgment, was ill-advised.
No Doubt After Vote. p
/ while think this particular
amendment should not be submitted
at the next election, do recommend
that proposed constitutional amend
ment empowering the legislature to
enact legislation establishing the ini-
tiative. and referendum be enacted.
Such an amendment should be short
land easily understood. Then. there
will be no doubt after the vote is
canvassed as to the opinion of the
people of the state concerning direct
legislation
It's Fate is Uncertain.
In failing to obey the recommended
ton of the executive, the house also
went, on record as opposed to the
recommendation regarding such legis-
lation widely circulated by the ma
tional association, which was formed
several-years ago, to support the ex-
tension of the initiative and referen-
dunn principle throughout the nation
This association severely criticized
the amendment submitted in Minne-
sofa last year and which met defeat.
The bill now goes to the senate, and
it's fate there is uncertain. i

Plant Fruit Trees at Once

All perfectly hardy tees should be
transpIanted in the fall rather than the
following spring il we can rely upon
the results Of tests MADE at the Mis-
solri Agricultural Experiment Station.
Johnathan apple trees planted in the
fall made nearly twice as good a growth
as those planted the next spring. OF
cherry trees transplanted in the fall Of
1918 every one lived while only a
third Of those planted in the spring
OF 1914 survived the dry summer Of
that year. Thoae which did live
made only quarter as good growth
as those planted the fall before.
This comparison is based mainly on
the terminal growth or length added
to the branches which is very i'm
portant means Of telling how an or.
chard is thriving. Even peach trees
and others less hardy than apple and
cherry trees do better when fall plant
Ell in the Southern quarters Of Mis-
souri,. Fall planting is better even
farther north il followed by mild
winter but a severe winter is likely to
kill the trees.
In ordering fruit trees for fall plant
ing, insist that they be dug and shipped
| just when the leaves begin TO fall anc
the remaining leaves can be easily
stripped from the nursery stock
These young rapidly growing tree
hold their leaves from two weeks to
month longer than those in the or
chard which have been bearing 10
some time. During most seasons tn,
best time for transplanting is during
the first half OF November but planting
any time before the ground freeze
has been found to give better result,
than spring planting.

That Democratic Statement

A statement on the results OF Tues
days elections has been issued by the
Washington headquarters OF the dem
ocratic national committee. 1t is COM
posed, in about equal parts, Of evasions,
ignorance and adroitness and audacity.
The legislative and congressional re-
suits were not mentioned. In discuss
ing Massachusetts,, ignorance and
adroitness were combined; in dealing
with Kentucky, sheer audacity was
employed. The republicans held their
own or made gains in every Legislative
and congressional contest and made
gains, compared with every election
struggle since 1911, in each Of the
three gubernatorial fights.
The statements references TO Mass
chusetts should be analyzed. It is
not true that Gov. Walsh got the high
est vote any democrat ever received in
Massachusetts,. Some recent hand.
book must have lnisled the committee.
w. L. Douglas received 234,670 in
1904, while Gov. Walsh got but 229,

only 235,9l8 votes, the republican
candidate for lieutenant governor got
250,940, as against 203,260 for his
democratic rival. Mr.. Mccall ran
behind the state ticket this time as he
did in 1914, owing TO his opposition to

A Few Reflections

"Duty'free imports comprised TIC
per cent Of the total imports for Sep
tember, 1915, and 81 per cent Of the
total imports for September, 1914.
Their increased percentage this year
reflects the marked growth in imports
Of factory materials, mostly on the free
list" This is quoted from the advance
statement OF our September trade,
issued by the Department Of Commerce.
A great many other things are re-
hected in that paragraph. 1t also re-
fleets the marked growth in imports Of
meat and dairy products, farm products
generally, fish, ETC., which are coming
in free Of duty. But it does not re-
fleet any decrease in the cost OF living.
The reason why the average rate OF
duty on all imports for the pas: year
hovers between II and II per cent is
reflected therein, which, in turn, re-
fleets the reason for the fat deficit in
the treasury. 1t reflects the reason
why the administration would like 10
flch republican plumage and restore
sugar, wool and other articles to re-
publican rates, with the declaration
that it is primarily for revenue, with
incid entail protection" and this sudden
conversion reflects the approach Of
campaign year. 1t reflects so much
that it gives good cause for reflection,
and that is exactly what the American
people are doing today. The result
OF that reflection will find Uncle Sam,
in 1917, read for the gong TO sound
which announces the beginning OF the
battle royal for commercial supremacy
that is scheduled to take place with
the cessation Of the war. 1t means
the return Of the federal government
to sound business basis, and that
means the restoration Of the repub-
licans to power. You can't stop 'em!

quent election, By 54,S88 plurality for
president, by SO, 1856 plurality for SEN
ator in 1918 and by l5,340 plurality
for senator in 1914. The democratic
candidate for governor Tuesday carried
it BY about 5000, although he had re-
ceiyed nearly 5000 plurality in Balti'
more, as a result OF his solemn pledge
TO give the city hcme rule. 1t is a
democratic state. normally, although
it gave Mckinley its electoral vote
twice, Roosevelt one Of its eight votes
and Taft two Of its eight votes. Ken
tucky in 1896 gave Mckinley u Of
IS electoral votes, because Of the gold
issue, but has been in the democratic
column at every presidential election
since. In 1912 i, gave Wilson a pop
ular plurality Of 104,072. In 1914 it
gave Beckham 3l,S47 plurality for
senator. This year, Stanley, with his
stirring name and wide fame, is claim
ing election by a disputed plurality Of
2,08l. There was not a grain Of dem
ocra,ic comfort in Tuesdays elections.
But the national committee probably
did the best it could, with every fact
and figure against it. Globe Democrat.

A Few Facts About Shipping

The dust storm Secretaries McAdoo
and Redfeld are raising about a
government owned and operated mer-
chant marine will not confuse anybody
who remembers a few fundamental
facts. The present exorbiant freight
rates are due to the abnormal Europ-
can demand for shipping and to the
risks and delays Of cargoes. Just the
other day British prize court render
ed a decision on cargoes seized last
November. Cargoes destined for
neutral European ports have generally
suffered. Those consigned to ports Of
the allies have run risks Of being sunk
and have experienced delays in un'
loading. But the war will sometime
end and shipping conditions will be-
come normal. The government could
not buy vessels, except at extravagant
prices. The sail Of the pacific. Mail
vessels at abnormal prices illustrates
this, although the proof Of the profit
mas been used by Mr.. Redfeld for an
other purpose. The governmet can
not have ships built in time to share
the present boom in shipping, unles;
the war is prolonged beyond expect
ations.
Americans are unable to make pro
fits in foreign shipping before the wa
began, Many Of them foated foreign
flags TO escape the harsh and expensiv,
provisions Of our navigation laws. Al
navigators agree tha! the new naviga
tion law to become effective Novem
Der 4, will increase the expense
Most lawyers agree that the attemp
TO force foreign shippers to compl
with the new seamen's act will be void
But if valid, American ships would b
driven out OF business before the ac
became applicable to foreign ships.
Our government owned merchan
marine would have to compete wit

D. Roosevelt, assistant secretary OF til
navy, recently went into details as t
why the operation and maintenance {
our navy cost more than other cour
