ASSOCIATION TO EXHIBIT
ALL SORTS OF POTATOES
Typical Tubers of Leading Varieties
to Be Shown at New National
Museum.

All sorts of potatoes, big and little,
will be on exhibition at the third an
nual meeting of the National Potato
Association of America. which opens
a three-day session at the New Ma
tiona4 Museum tomorrow afternoon.
This will be one of five national agri-
cultural organizations to begin con-
ventions here tomorrow. besides which
the annual conference of county agent
leaders will continue its sessions be-
gun Friday. and later in the week three
more agricultural conventions will
commence.
The potato exhibit. to be staged in
the foyer of the Museum building. will
be of particular interest to the lay
man. as everybody eats potatoes.
Specimens From Various Sections.
This exhibit will consist of typical
tubers of the leading commercial va
rieties, from various sections of the
United States; samples of graded table
stock certified seed stock. and manu-
featured potato products, including
specimens of chuno, a dried potato
product OF Peru and Bolivia. The con-
version of the fresh potato into the
dried article, known as chuno, had
proba bly, been practiced for centuries
prior to the subjugation of the lncas
by the Spaniards.
Another interesting feature of the eN-
hibit will be that of a collection OF
South American potatoes. interesting
because it illustrates the fact that. al
though they came from what is pre-
sumably the original home of the po-
tato. vet at the present time they are
so decidedly inferior to our present
commercial varieties that they are un-
worthy of consideration, except as they
may furnish desirable stock for breed
ing purposes.

Original Poem by Mrs. Kent.

Mrs Alexander Kent presented the
birdhouse for the tree. accompanying
the gift with an original poem:
We meet. kind friends. on sacred soil.
The land ia theirs trod;
When thro' long years of weary toll
They kept their faith in God.
That same grand truth is ours today:
No one plant tree
Without living faith in God
And His eternity.
So plant here this little oak;
Pest loved by womanhood;
Emblem of beauty. strength and power.
Great helps to human good.
The tree points upward to the sky
So raise thoughts above:
The branches point 10 every place.
Embracing all in love.
Here little birds welcome find
To build coy nest:
And underneath this growing shade
May tired travellers rest.
Strangers will from many lands
And look upon this tree:
But while diversified in thought
May here lind unity.

power and dignity. SO the women's or
ganizations will branch out for the
good of the nation.
Harrison Dodge. superintendent of
the Mount Vernon estate, received the
tree on behalf of the board Of regents,
and said he knew that because of the
thing 1t symbolized and because Of the
spirit In which 1t was planted it will be
sure to grow and flourish.
Mrs. Addie w. Foster. chairman of
the forestry committee OF the fedora
ton, threw in the first shovelful Of
earth, and Mrs. Court F. Wood, presi-
dent of the federation, the second
shovelful. All the women present, each
representing a club. society or other
organization. also threw in dirt. as did
