IF more attention were paid to the
selection of proper varieties and the

it is believed that the demand which ex-

domestic supplies"

VARIETIES OF POTATOES.
Too Many Kinds Foisted on Farmers By
Seed Raisers, Says Department of
Agriculture.

Some of the finest potatoes ever grown
were recently exhibited by the depart
ment OF agriculture for the express pur-
pose of arguing against any increase in
the number OF varieties OF potatoes now
! being bred In fact, the department po-
tato experts believe that the fewer num-
! Der of varieties the better off will be
the industry at large.
One purpose of this exhibition was to
| furnish information to the department
workers themselves in regard to the diff
ferent qualities OF recognized varieties Of
potatoes In the exhibit were specimens
OF the Early Rose group Early Ohio
group, Beauty Of Hebron group, Burbank
group, Green Mountain group, Rural New
Yorker group, Pearl group. Peachblow
group, and so on, TO say nothing of hun
dreds Of seedlings and unclassifed speci
mems grown on the departments expert
mental plots.
at is the belief of the specialists di
rectly engaged in this work that the in
dustry would benefit greatly by reduc-
ton in the number of varieties that are
now grown commercially" says the de-
partment. "Seedmen's catalogues often
list from 200 to $50 kinds of potatoes
This practice is worse than useless, for
it merely confuses the farmer and him
ders community adoption of one or two
varieties selected for their adaptablity
to particular soil and climatic conditions.

would contine itself to one or two varie
ties best suited to its own conditions,

Save Your Hair Make II Thick, Wavy

Thisl

Thin, brittle, colorless and scraggy hair
is mute evidence of neglected scalp; of
dandruif-that awful scurf.
There is nothing so destructive to the
hair as dandruff. II robs the hair of
its lustre, its strength and its very life;
eventually producing feverishness and
itching OF the scalp, which if not REM
edied causes the hair roots to shrink,
loosen and die-then the hair falls out
fast. A little Danderine to-night-now
any time-will surely save your hair.
Get 25.cent bottle OF Knowlton's
Danderine from any drug store or toilet
counter, and after the first application
your hair will take on that life, lustre
and mxuriance which is so beautiful. 1t
will become wavy and fluffy and have
the appearance of abundance, an incom
parable gloss and softness; but what will
please you most will be after just few
weeks use, when you will actually see a

REPEAL BILL is KILLED.
Overwhelming Majority Is Against Bos-
ton & Maine Reorganization Bill
in Massachusetts Senate.

Boston, April by an overwhelm'
ing vote the Senate yesterday killed the
bill to repeal last years Boston & Maine
railroad reorganization act The bill
passed the House last week after a long
series OF dinners at which House mem
bers were the guests of the Boston 4
Maine Minority Stockholders assoeia-
tion.
Since the House voted, two or three
dinners have been held and members Of
the Senate were invited, but none of the
senators went. The dinner campaign
plainly did not appeal to the senator's,
and it was evident that the lobbying
hurt the bills chances in the upper
bra inch.
There was no debate. Senator Clark
of Brockton said he was not for or
against the bill but asked for informa
tion. Senator Clarence Hobbs OF Worces-
ter chairman of the railroad committee,
said he could not see that the minority
stockholders would lose out if last years
bill is allowed to stand.

IN BOSTON MARKETS.

Boston, April l0.-It begins to look as
though a turning point in the butter
market was at hand. The local supply is
not a great deal larger than it has been
but the demand has been taperng of
pretty steadily as prices have gone up
and it has been no easy matter to effect

outside markets. particularly in the

than they have been and sellers also are
uneasy that they may be caught with

they are more of an asking than sell

what is asked and offered are not allowed
to stand in thu way Of sales The cheese
market continues quiet and while holders
are talking strongly, there is reason to
believe that they would sell for less than
they ask. Receipts Of eggs continue
large, but with good many going into
the coolers there are none too many on
the open market for the current demand,

Fight Over Free Seeds.

That government seeds grew cabbage'
large enough to hide calf who was at
tempting to dodge his owner was brought
out in the debate yesterday in the House
by Representative Stevenson on Repre-
sentative Walshs amendment to strike
out from the agricultural bill the pro
vision allowing members of Congress to
send free seeds to their constituents
Mr.. Stevenson, who opposed the amend
ment, brought this fact before the House
when he read letter from one of his
constituents telling him of the antics OF
his neighbours calf.
Mr.. Walsh's amendment was defeated
on a division vote OF A. to us.
For the s250000 to be appropriated in
the agricultural appropriation bill for
free seeds the government might pur
chase 90 sorely needed aeroplanes, Repre-
sentative Walsh told the House. The
Massachusetts man denounced vigorously
the practice of appropriating thousands
of dollars every year for common seeds
to 60 to people who never make any re-
port to the government on their growing
or other qualities

FACTS ABOUT WAR ORDERS

Now that the national campaign is
over and the particular reasons for
SURPRISING the facts no longer exist,
perhaps the Wilson administration
will unqualifedly admit the facts re-
garding the effect OF war orders upon
our Industrial prosperity. There is no
disputing the figures, which can be
readily obtained by consultation of
the official reports of the Depart
ment of Commerce. These statistics
show that under normal Republican
tariff legislation in a time of peace
our exports of AZ classes of commodi-
ties that are needed in the successful
waging of modern warfare amounted
to 1884, 900 in a ten months pc
riod, while in a corresponding period
under a Democratic tariff law, before
the war, these exports decreased to
