have written that provided they can
procure ground for demonstration
purposes they will be glad to come

This will be the first demonstration
of the kind ever made here, and is eX-
pected to attract the attention of thou
sands of farmers and others. Big,
snorting engines will tear up the fields
with ease.

Sailed and PEPPERED
Wisconsin Man Produces Potatoes
That Are Already Seasoned.

Appleton, Wis, Aug. 16.-Word re-
ceived here from the Waupaca potato
belt is that a method has been devised
there of producing potatoes peppered
and sailed. The grower solemnly
avows that he hopes to be able to
produce a potato which is also but
tered.
The pepperins development has
been thorough success, for the
grower has succeeded in giving the de-
sired flavor by planting green peppers
between the hills of potatoes and the
pepper essence was communicated in
this manner presumably through the
pollen of the flower to the potato.
The salt was provided by the use of
a special wash of brine, made of po-
tassiurn chloride, at the roots of the
potato vine. E. J. Rose is doing the
experimenting.
