POTATO VARIETY AN
IMPORTANT FACTOR

1t may pay the Iowa farmer an IN
crease of sc bushels worth OF pota-
toes per acre II when planting this
spring he selects variety best adapt
ed to Iowa conditions.
This calculation is made on the ba'
sis Of test conducted by the Iowa
agricultural experiment station IN
1910, 1911 and 1912, to determine the
most productive variety for Iowa.
About thirty different varieties OF
early and late potatoes were tested
during each of the three years. or
the early varieties tested Irish Cob
Ter and Early Ohio gave the best
yields; Of the later varieties Prosper
ity and Rural New Yorker gave the
highest yields.
Averaging the yield in bushels OF
marketable tubers for early varieties
for three years these results were OBJ
tanned: Irish Cobbler, 1852; Early
Ohio, $3.50; Red River Six Weeks,
73.46; Early Rose, 6s.95; Clark's Seed
ling, $685.; Early Roser. 62.61, and

stock back to Henry county where
they will exhibit them at the Henry
county colt and calf show in OCTOBER

consignment to the highest bidder.
There are about twenty boys en-
tered in the baby beef contest IN Hen.
nv county and it Is expected they Will

Grain Review

Chicago, April brushes to buy
carried wheat today decidedly higher
but profit taking by holders led to
sharp reaction, which failed to last.
The chief incentive for purchasing con-
tinued to be sensational damage reports
regarding the domestic winter crop.
According to one expert, ideal weather
would be needed to prevent the y1eld
this season proving repetition OF the
failure Of 1912. Opening prices, when
ranged from the same as Mondays nm
ish to 13sc higher. with May at $l.2O ~
to $121a and July at $1.19R to u,
were followed by a decline OF &c from
initial top figures. Then came gener-
al rally. 49,.
Decided downturns took place later.
influenced by a few reports OF better
field conditions caused by warmer
weather. Absence Of any urgent export
inquiry tended also to lower the mar
ket. Prices closed steady, ~ @lBc 70
~ @2ssc net lower, with May at $1.1SA
@11sas and July at $1.17@1.17h.
Corn swayed with wheat Trade was
light. After opening a shade to n % es
higher, the market hardened little
and then sagged but later recovered.
In subsequent transactions, declines
were shown as result Of weakness
that developed in the wheat market.
The close was steady at loss OF 70 % "a
to q @1c net.
Oats paralleled the action Of other
grain. Buyers we're in a majority.
Higher prices on hogs lifted prov1-
sions. Brokers representing packers led
the demand.

ARR|SON TO BRING
PRISONER TO CITY
FEDERAL JUDGE At kEOkuk
SENDS MAN HERE ON Ac.
COUNT OF JAIL.

]. w. Hancock, who pleaded guilty
before Federal Judge r. c. Munger at
Keokuk Tuesday On charge Of writ
ing obscene letters will serve his
month sentence In the Wapello county
Jail. The court sent him here on &C.
count of the good jail conditions. Dep
uty U. S. Marshal N l.. Arrison went
after him Tuesday The Keokuk Gate
City. Constitution Democrat of Tuesday
evening has the following: a.
j. w. Hancock Of Burlington, indict.
ed by the last federal court grand jury
here on a charge Of writing obscene
letters and sending them through the
mails, pleaded guilty this afternoon in
the federal court before Judge T. c..
Munger and was ordered committed to
the Wapello county jail at Ottumwa
for thirty days. r.r
Both the district attorney and attor-
ney for Hancock asked the court to
take into consideration that Hancock
had served considerable time In jail al
ready. #t....s
HE has already spent five months
in the Jail at Keokuk" one of the court
officials suggested.
"And I understand that Is some pun
ishment," returned Judge Munger.
Where will I send him so that SAM
tary jail conditions will be better than
they are here?"
The court was advised that the jail
at Ottumwa was much better equipped
and made the sentence thirty days IN
that bastile, making total OF SIX
months.
Local attorneys who were in the
court room recalled the fact that this
Is not the first time prisoners have
been sent to other jails because OF un-
sanitary conditions In the local dun'
geon. Judge Mcpherson frequently re-
fused TO confine men in the prison
here on this account and other judges
have taken the same stand. That the
reputation Of the jail is evidently
known Is shown by Judge Mungers
quick retort.

ADVISES THAT OATS
BE PLANTED EARLY

Sow your oats early, advise the
farm crops men at Iowa State college.
In Iowa early sown oats are usually
successful because they are not seri-
ously injured by late frosts and be-
cause they have time to fill out before
the hot weather comes to check de-
velopment.
Besides these reasons. early sown
oats do not rust and blight as badly as
late oats; they use early spring mois-
ture from the soil and do not leave
the soil as dry; since they are off the
ground early they favor a following
fall seeded crop, such as alfalfa; they
yield better and are more satisfactory
for nurse crops than late varieties;
the earlier oats are in the more time
there will be for other spring work.
