Good Year to Plant POtatOes,

In, considering the agricultural ap-
preparation bill in congress the other
day an interesting discussion, took
place in regard to a clause appro-
priating $20,610 for chemical investi-
cations Of soil types and soil pro-
ductivity in connection with the soil
survey. From this discussion we
CLEAN that potash is a very necessary
fertilizer. for growing potatoes in
the eastern and sout thern states.
Potash is no5t as essential
to other crops. In view of the cutt-
ing off of our potash supply from
Germany, on account Of the war, it
seems very probable that the potato
crop in the east and south will be
very small this year. England as
well as other countries of Europe
find themselves in the same predica-
ment as regards potash, and will
need to import large quantities of
tubers. It will be wise, therefore,
for the farmers in the western
states, where a potato crop can be
produced without fertilizers, to put
a largely increased acreage into po-
tatoes this year. The chances are
that prices will be high next fall

SEEDING IS NOW
IN FULL SWING.

Weather now seems settled and
spring work has commenced in real
earnest. In this latitude wheat may
be seeded with safety as late as May
Is and even later. The soil is getting
in fine condition in all but the low
places, farmers tell us, and the work
will, be rushed until the usual acre
age is seeded. More corn than usual
will be planted this year. A late
spring with US generally means a
good corn year. The potato acre
age will also be increased. There is
likely to be a shortage in the po-
tato crop Hext fall and prices will
IN all probability Be good. More
oats and barley will be seeded this
year than usual as farmers are gett-
ing more and more into stock and
find that it pays well to have an
abundance Of feed.

NEW. MOVE FOR A HOTEf.

The Commercial Club held a meet
ing last evening to consider the
question of a new hotel, an improve
ment greatly needed in our city.
Two propositions were presented,
either of which might be feasible.
Mr.. Morkassel presented a plan Of
Mr.. Hitchcock, Of Crookston, in
which the latter offered 10 sell
section Of land and other property
to our citizens, he agreeing to use
the proceeds in erecting an up-to-
date hotel here. The Other PROPOSE
tion was from Mr.. Snyde.. Of Ada,
who offered to invest $4,000 in a
hotel building here, and $4,000 in
furnishing same. The building alone
was to cost $4,000 Of wnich $4,000
was to be furnished by our, citizens,
Mr.. Snyder agreeing to buy the pro
perty on terms at 6 per cen. interest.
Mr.. Snyder's proposition looked the
best to the members Of the club and
a meeting with him for further dis
cussion will be held in 6, few days.
Mr.. Snyder is an experienced hotel
man, having been engaged in the
business at Ada for manv years.
The banks of the city can easily ad-
vance the money requirel and would
have ample security therefor in the
building. A site will have to be
furnished free by the city. The
question Of location was not consid-
cred, but it's selection will depend
largely upon availability and cost Of
procuring same. It is to be hoped
that something more tangible than
talk will result from this new move
to secure a much needed improve
ment for our city.
THE BOXVILLE FARMERS CLUB.
The Boxville Farmers Club held
meeting on Friday evening, April
21st, and large crowd was in at
tendance in spite Of the rough con-
dition Of the roads at that time.
An unusual amount OF important
business was disposed of at this
meeting and this was followed BY a
