POTATO BREEDING

Potato breeding may be said to in.
volve the raising of seedlings from
hand pollinated or self fortified
seeds. 1t becomes intelligent breed.
ing only when it deals with seedlings
produced from hand cross pollinated
flowers protected from insects and
borns on plants possessing certain
characteristics which 1t seems desir.
able to- combine in the resultant pro-
geny. In other words, intelligent plant
breeding requires the same careful
consideration of the parents plants
that is given to the selection of the
male and female by the progressive
up to date animal breeder. Selection
plays very important role in this
kind Of breeding.
Since 1910 more than $4,000 potato
seedlings have been grown by the
Department OF Agriculture at its Ar.
lington farm. Out OF some $4,000
seedlings grown in 1870 nearly 10000
developed tubers; most of the re-
naming 5000 either failed to grow af-
ter being transferred from the green
house to the open grounds or else
they failed to produce tubers. All Of
those which developed tubers were
saved and grown in 1911. At harvest
time all were again saved for further
study and description. This entailed
large amount of work and the re.
cording of many data, but the object

ing large number of seedlings which
would ordinarily be discarded was to
note whether any change occurred in
the Seeding in the second and sub
sequent generations. In other words,
1t was thought desirable to determine
whether one might safely discard all
unpromising looking seedlings the
first season. The results secured In
dictate that there is little likelihood
that a first year seeding producing

other hand, the experimenter Is not
always justified in discarding seed

three small tubers, weighing In the
aggregate possibly not over one
ounce, provided the tubers are smooth
shapely, and white skinned Occas'
sionally a Seeding Is found that is
unusually prolific in both tubers and
seed balls. The data secured by the
Department have served to make It
possible to discard first year seed
lings rather freely, with fair degree
of reliance, 1t is believed both with
respect to those discarded and those
retained.

Shall We Sell
Our Wheat?

The writer's attention was called
some time ago to farmer who has
two year crop OF wheat in his barn,
exclusive of this harvest for the pres
ent year which he is holding for a
price Of two dollars. While this is
doubtless an exceptional case, it does
raise the question as to the wisdom
of holding ones crops Tor future high
prices. While 1t is undoubtedly not
wise to hold for the price this partic-
ular farmer seeks, and recognizing
fully that the price of wheat during
the ensuing ten months rests upon
large number OF uncertainties, 1t
would still appear that the farmer
who holds his wheat until January,
February, or even later, will realize
greater profits than he who sells be.
fore that time. There are, however,
a large number of facts to be borne
In mind. Practically every country of
importance in the world has raised
more wheat this year than last. The
Russian crops, exclusive OF Poland
and Siberia are in the neighborhood
OF lO0,OO0,OO0 bushels more than last
year; Italy's crop is 100000 bush
els larger; the United Kingdom has
100000 bushels more. Reports from
Germany and Austria indicate a crop
above normal (thanks to the prison.
ers of war)) and In addition to this,
these countries have purchased to

wheat is said to be of fair quality,
and our own crop is, of course, enor-
nous and of high grade.

A PARAB

There is a parable that tells how
hen once trod on ducks foot.
She didn't mean to do 1t and 1t did
NOT hurt much, but the duck got in
a rage and few at the hen, shout
ing:
'Tll pay you for that!"
But as she flew she struck goose
and the goose cried, "Ill pay you for
that" But as 1t ran its foot tore
the fur of a cat. 'I'll pay you for
that!" said the cat, as she sprang at
the goose; but her claws pulled the
fleece of a sheep that was in the
farmyard.
The sheep ran for the cat, but hit
dog, the dog jumped for the sheep,
as he did so he struck an old COW by
the gate. III pay you for that"
cried the COW. But though she
caught the dog, her horn grazed the
skin OF a horse standing by.
"Ill pay you for that" shouted the
horse. Then what a fuss there was
all because a hen trod on ducks
foot, and the duck wouldn't overlook
little hurt? The master came out
from the house to see what the row
was, and sent them all In out OF the
sunshine into their barns and stalls
and houses. 1t really spoiled all their
good times Just because they would
pay each other back. Exchange.

Taft CTiicizeS
Administration
Of Philippines
Condemns Wholesale Removal OF
Americans. Attacks Lifting
Embargo

Nv" eN'Sct 1NPs' -
criticism of the administration of the
Philippines of Governor General Har-
rison was voiced here today by Will
liam II. Taft in an address before
the Commonwealth Club of Califor-
mia.
t Mr.. Taft, a former governor gen.
nor Harrison, whom he designated as
Tammany congressman of long
standing, knew nothing about the
Philippines, their people or their prob
lens, and that his first act in Office
was to place himself under the yir-
tual control of Manuel Quezon, a
delegate to Congress from the islands
and Filipino politician of not the
highest standing in the Philippines.
The wholesale removal of import.
ant, able and experienced American
officials Of the government, to make
room for Filipino Office holders was
decided upon by Governor Harrison,
said Mr.. Taft, after counsel with
Quezon and Mr. Osmena, the speak
err OF the National Assembly.
"The effect on the whole service"
continued Mr.. Taft, was so distress.
ing that Mr.. Harrison felt obliged to
announce that he was not going to
be as radical as reported"
In general the Philippine situation
is such, he said that continuation
of their policy now being pursued in
the islands, might eventually demand
the attention of the American gov.
eminent in much the same manner
as the present Mexican situation.
Discuss Jones' Bill
The passage of the Jones bill whose
chief purpose Mr.. Taft said was to
make a declaration that the United
States intended to give up the islands
to an independent government when
a stable government Is established,
would make the work of deterioration
complete.
"What is the use Of fooling the
Filipinos by such a declaration he
asked, 81 am in favor of turning the
islands over to their people when
they are reasonably fitted for self
government; but this will not be for
two generations, until the youth of
the islands are educated in English
and until the present pernicious lack
OF self straint and sacrifice of public
veal to political pelf and preferment
are cured by longer training In
partial self government"
Immediate development in the Mex
lean situation claimed Mr.. Tafts at
tention for a moment.
"Our policy of SO called but mis-
called watchful waiting, has dragged
on greatly to the detriment of all
concerned" he said. Now the anar.
chy for which we are in part respon-
sible has developed raids into the
United States and the killing of our
own people with the very weapons OF
war which our unwise lifting of the
embargo against the importation OF
arms into Mexico furnished our as.
sailants.

MILLS BENEFIT FROM
DEMAND FOR KHAKI
CLOTH FOR UNIFORMS

ASSOCIATED Press Correspondence
London, Dec. 15.-So great is the
wear and tear of warfare that a SOL
der in the fighting line needs new
outfit every month. Well over a mil
lion men have already been clothed,
and another million will have to be
provided for Immediately. The khaki
industry, therefore. is f1ourishing.
Millions and millions of yards Of
cloth are needed for uniforms and
overcoats. Though mills are working
overtime, new mills have been opened,
and everything has been done to speed
up, the supply has not kept up with
the demand.
French, Belgian and Russian orders
have also poured into the English
market. Some mills have had four
different army cloths on their ma
chimes at one time or another.
The price Of khaki has risen corr
siderably since the outbreak of the
war. The government is buying 4
good quality, which costs about four
shillings. nine pence yard as against
three shillings, eleven pence in July.

COLLEGE HEADS
HOLD CONFERENCE

Boston, Jan. IA conference of pres
idents Of Massachusetts universities
and colleges will be held here on Jan.
for the purpose Of forming a coop
erative organization for public service
on a broad scale. The invitation for the
meeting was extended by the commits

for five years have offered courses Of
college grade to the public.
THE successful working of our eX
pertinent" says the invitation, has
suggested that cooperative organiza-
ton for public service on a broader
scale on the part of all the colleges and
similar institutions Of Massachusetts
might make possible an advance in
university extension and might also aid
in bringing about other desired ends
such as the formation of common plans
for the training Of teachers and a more
systematic provision for expert techni-
cal service by academic officers to the
state and municipalities"
