The greatest material problem for
both town and country in the great
middle West is to bring about tho
adoption of systems of farming under
which old land shall become richer
than new land. And this is possible,
feasible and profitable: but not by the
use of small amounts of such mixed
manufactured fertilizers as the farm
ers of the older states have been in
duced to purchase at high prices and
to apply to their farms in systems OF
soil stimulation and ultimate land
ruin.-A. w. Hopkins.

Potatoes Total 100000 Bushels.


That Wisconsin is annually market
ing in the neighbOrhood of G5,0O0,0OO
bushels of potatoes, or 20 per cent OF.
the entire output entering Interstate
trade, is the information given out in,
bulletin issued by the university
college. While this output ig sent to-
nearly every state in the Union, the
majority part of it is consumed in the
middle West and Mississippi valley.
Another point brought out by the,
bulletin is that the warehouses in the
state have capacity to accommodate
but One-third of the yearly crop.
Most of the storing is done by the
farmers themselves, it being more
economical for the farmers to store at
home and haul to the shipping point
at their convenience
Chicago is the greatest potato mar
ket, according to the bulletir, and in
sists upon the potatoes being shipped
in bulk so that they can be graded be-
fore sacking for the city trade.
Machinery is gradually being intro
duced for the grading and handling
of potatoes which greatly aids in the
work of taking care of the crop.

People Warned to Keep an Eye
on Strange Dogs.

The Sanderson dog, brought to town
Wednesday by Commissioner. w. L.
Porter, died of rabies. Consequently,
the dog epidemic that has been rag
ing in Oakland and on the East Side
really is hydrophobia. Dr. Sara
Greenfield, who made an analysis of
the brain OF the Sanderson dog, re-
ported at noon today that the analysis
showed unmistakabIe evidences of
rabies.
This dog belonged to F. A. Sander
son, who lives about two miles east of
Topeka. 1t was bitten by the Linger
bull dog which bit a dozen other dogs
in that section. Mr.. Sanderson has
another dog that was bitten by the
Linger dog at the same time, but
rabies. The latter dog bit one of the
Sanderson children week ago and
the child is under the care of q physi-
clan.
Serum From Dogs Brain.
Two white rabbits were inoculated
of the Sanderson dog and DR.. Green
field said today that if they did not
die of hydrophobia she would not
know why they did not for there is no
question about the case of the San
derson dog. The definite informa ton
that the Sanderson dog died of hydro
phobia establishes the fac- that the
Linger dog was mad, and that all
dogs and persons bitten by the LinSer
dog are subject to the disease. Pre-
cautions have already been taken in
almost every case and there is little
more that can be done. 1t is prob
able that a number of other dogs will
develop rabies, but SO far as is known
every person who has been bitten has
been given or is being given Pasteur
treatment.
Earl Horne, sanitary policeman,
who was placed in charge of the dog
problem by Commissioner Porter, is
getting a line on all dogs that came
in contact with the Linger log. He is
running down every report of a mad
dog and collecting all the information
possible. City officials believe they
have the mad dog problem well in
hand.

WILSON STATES
VIEWS WOMAN
SUFFRAGE

Nashi ingtOn, Jan. G-Presidcnt
Wilson today reiterated to "a dclega-
tion of women suffragists his prev
iOusly announced position that equal
franchise should be brought about
through action by the states rather
than through 4 federal amendment.
Nearly 100 women from different
parts of the country saw the presi-
dent at the White House and asked
him to support the Bristow-Mondcll
amendment which comes to Il vote
in the house January Il. The presis
dent told the women that he much
their campaign.
Il have had life long conviction
that this should be done state by
state, said the president. II would
take the same position on q question
affecting mems suffrage. | would
be deserting my deepest constitu-
tional convictions If [ changed my
position on the situation. My views
on this question do not represent any
antagonism to the cause itself"
Miss Alberta Hill of New York
told the president he had made sew
eral perfectly splendid suffrage
speeches after his nomination for
the presidency. She read abstracts
from an address by the president II,
Spring Lake, \. j.. in which he
thanked the organizers of the Wom-
ans Wilson and Marshall league for
their efforts in his behalf.
In replying to Miss Hill. the pres
ident said he still held the position
he took on the suffrage question
during the campaign and was oppus-
ing the delegation on the methods of
gaining the vote for women rather
than on the merits of the question
itself
Dr. Frances McGaskin of Philadcl-
phi closed the hearing with a state
ment that there was little difference
between the method OF gaining the
vote by a federal constitutional
amendment and through amend
ments to the state constitutions. llti-
matelv she said the state le"isla-
lures had to pass on amendments
She read a telegram from a lar-"
number of women voters in Colorado
asking that the president support the
Bristow-Mondell amendment.

dent shook hands with each cor
