INV 7 IT. SHEPpERDl

(By j. ii. SiEIPEkD,)
1t Is a common belief that potatoes
run out or degenerate when grown in
any locality for several years. There
is no doubt of the truth of this state
ment under ordinary methods Of
growing and selecting the seed. Only
;hree reasons can exist for running
out" or degenerating of any crop. a.
Degeneration resulting from prolonged
and possibly unnatural propagation by
means of tubers. ca Deterioration
caused by change to an unfayorable
condition. go Loss of visor due to
Jack Of selection Of tubers. The last
:wo factors we know are operative
under the usual manner of handling
he crop. However, it is not always
rue and should never be where con-
ditions are favorable. With expert
mental data on hand and similar data
secured from other investigators the
following statement may be safely
made: That in localities having soil
and climatic conditions favorable for
the highest development of a crop,
there will be no degeneration other
than variations, and variations are as
apt to be beneficial as harmful. BY
changing seed once in great while
varieties will be developed in other
localities having similar conditions,
which will be of value for introduc-
ton, but the indiscr!minate change Of
seed merely for the sake Of changing
Is poor practice.
Many potato growers seem to think
1t necessary to change seed every few
years. They do not consider the pro
ductiveness of the variety they are
growing, nor do they endeavor to i'm
prove its yielding capacity. 1t has
been the custom to change seed pota-
toes every few years and the practice
has been followed without asking the
reason for it.
The potato is practically a new crop
and the development of good new
varieties has been rather rapid, yet
new varieties now seldom surpass the
standard ones in yield or quality. New
varieties should not be grown until
they have been well advertised and a
market demand created.
The potato breeder and the expert
ment station can better afford to de-
termine the value of new varieties and
exploit their superiority. In cases
where the crop runs out, it is the re
suit of poor selection, poor sell or the
presence o. disease and not degenera-
ton.
Another common fallacious belief is
that potatoes mix in the hill. The
tubers of most varieties vary greatly
as to size. color and shape and this
has led many to believe that different
varieties mix or cross when planted
closely together. Selection should be
made for uniformity every year to
overcome this character. Potatoes of
white and blue varieties have been
planted together in hills at the North
Dakota and other experiment stations
and no mixed or blended color ap-
peared.
Hill selection should be followed on
all potato arms. The manner of re-

tury-Rivers of Stones.

The Falkland islands. which will
always be memorable in the history
Of the war, were first discovered by
Captain Cowley in the days Of
Queen Elizabeth, but it was not until
1864, in the days of King George, that
the British decided to annex them.
1t was then found that the French
had established colony there in the
previous year and had annexed the
islands in the name of the king Of
France, The British, however, later
came into possession, but were eyict-
ed by the Spaniards by main force.
A war between England and Spain
was averted, and the English resumed
possession, only to abandon the place
three years later. Until the transac--
tons which took place between the
Argentine and the British governments
in the early part of the eighteenth
century the islands were a noman's
land.

institute in London recently. Major
Quayle Dickson, formerly colonial sec.

forward was that the whole country
(including Patagonia) was at one time
covered with ice. When the ice
melted these stones were left bare
and slipped down the hillsides into
the valleys where they were now

bowlder streams were due simply to

1t was not possible to ascertain
their depth, but the water of small
streamlets could be heard trickling
through the stones many feet below
the surface. The actual depth was
probably great. or the creviCcs be-

GOOD IMPLEMENTS
ARE REC0MM ENDED
Time Has Arrived for Farmer to
Use Tools and Machines to
Save Time and Labor.

Good implements often represent
the difference between profit and loss
IN farming. One man cultivates
field in one day; it takes another man
one and one-fourth days to cultivate
another the same size One man
breaks a field in three days; it takes
another man four days to break one
the same size. The difference Is in
implements. The cost OF the imple-
ments and their upkeep may not be
far from the same.
The time has come for farmers to
seek implements and machines that
save labor and make money.

Deep planting will be found advisable
on weedy land as the harrow may
then be used freely without endanger-
ing what is meant by quality in pota-
toes In some countries a heavy, soggy
cooking potato is thought to possess
the highest quality. In the United
States most people prefer potato
which viii become mealy when cooked.
The potato should not, however, be so
starchy that it will break the skin or
fall to pieces before becoming cooked.
For slicing and frying a soggy potato
is desirable. From these statements
it will be seen that quality in potatoes
is dependent upon ones taste.
Mealiness is dependent upon the
variety and the soil, climate and ma
turity. A dry sandy soil produces the
mealiest potatoes. An immature po-
tato seldom cooks well and from our
STANDARD is of very poor quality. If
the tubers are so green that TIE skin
is easily bruised they win be inferior

Gated by corky surface and the pres
ence of lenticlcs. When the vines are
badly injured by insects or diseases,
the tubers do not mature and such a
crop will have a poor quality.
There are many characters which
Indicate quality, percentage OF dry
matter, size, specific gravity, appear
ance, flavor. surface, smoothness, color
of skin and flesh, depth of eyes and
texture. These characters need no
further description.
Only one variety OF potatoes should
be grown in any locality, especially if
for market. Where this custom pre-
walls, reputation is soon established,
and buyers are always anxious to visit
such places. This is an easy and ef-
fectual way to advertise the crop.
Practically all potato damage done
by disease and insect enemies may be
prevented by good system OF farming
and proper treatment of seed and
vines. The work should be begun be-
fore or as soon as any disease makes
its appearance. Prevention is the only
remedy, there is no cure for the in
fected growing plant.
