TUBER SUBJECT TO INQUIRY
Uncle Sans Experts Trying to Develop
New Varieties Specially Adapted
to Different Localities.

Uncle Sans experts are conducting
u number of potato inyestige tions In
various states. One of the main fea-
lures Of the work Is the development,
from seed, of new varieties of pota-
toes specially suited for certain pur-
poses and adapted to the special grow
ing regions in which such products can
most economically be produced.
A large number of seedlings have
been grown and those Of greater prom
ise only retained, Of which 1t is UNDER
stood there are some 300 considered OF
sufficient vthue to warrant further test
ing. These are being tried out In CO.
operation with the various state agri-
cultural stations, and as soon as they
have proved their worth In any local.
ity arrangements will be made to es-
tablish the variety In the region to
which 1t Is best adapted.
In this very interesting investigation
experiments are being made leading to
a determination of the factors neces-
sary for the production Of disease-free
potatoes. It has been found that
where land has previously been In
cultivation with grains and alfalfa II
may produce disease-free potatoes.

Why rheumatism Comes
With Cold Weather I
By VALENTINE MOTT PIERCE, n. D.

A close connection exists between
these two cold weather and rheu-
matism. Prof. Alex. Haig, of London,
has the most followers in the medical
profession In the belief that the pres
ence in the system OF uric acid, or it's
salts In excess, is the real cause OF rheu-
matism. Everyone has recognized the
difference in the appearance OF their
water as soon as II gets cold there is
often q copious sediment Of brickdust.
Several causes may lead up to an
accumulation Of uric acid In the system,
which, in turn, causes rheumatism or
gout, or creaky joints, or swollen fingers,
or painful joints. For one reason the
skin does not throw off the uric acid, by
profuse sweating, as in the hot weather,
and the kidneys are unable to take care
Of the double burden. Another reason

MILLIONS GO AsTRAY
Vast Sum in Missives Reaching
Dead Letter Office.
Uncle Sam Keeps Little Of This
Wealth, However, a. Most Of II
10 Restored to the Owners

Uncle Sam found more than $2,500,-
OOO worth Of checks, drafts, money
orders and other valuable papers In
undelivered letters which reached the
dead letter office during the last year,
but he didn't get to keep much of 1t.
Most Of this wandering wealth was re-
stored to Its owners.
First Assistant Postmaster General
Daniel c. Roper In his annual report
announces that the dead letter division
handled 10,s39, 800 letters and parcels
during the year, slight increase over
the previous year. One-thlrd Of these
letters and parcels, or 3877.194, was
delivered; 101 ,4S5 contained things Of
value without clew to their senders
and were held for claimants: 7,019,-
436 had to be destroyed, and 41.775
were still being investigated.
In addition to the valuable papers,
with face value of $2.303, ,119, found
In unbelievable letters, many con-
tanned stamps, and some currency was
found loose in the mails. The stamps
and currency unclaimed, together with
proceeds from the sale of articles OF
merchandise removed from undellv.
cred letters aggregated $53,665, and
$11 900 was realized from six months
operation Of a new postal regulation
requiring collection Of one cent on
advertised letters, making the totll net
revenue s84.685. Mr.. Roper says that
the revenue estimated under the pres
ent conditions for n year would be
approximately $4,000, which would
make the dead letter division self-sus-
tainlng.
To prevent the unnecessary accu-
mutation Of letters containing valuable
Enclosures, a provision was contained
In the last postal appropriation law re-
ducing the limit of time that such let
tiers shall be held awaiting reclama-
tion from four years to two years.
On account of the large growth In
the parcel post business, experience
has demonstrated that the accumula-
tion of this matter at the points desig-
mated for handling dead parcels has
become so large as to make 1t difficult
to find space for Its accommodation.
Regulations provide, In the case of In.
sured parcels. that claims for indem-
nifty must be filed within six months,
and 1t has been found there Is very
little call for lost parcels after the
lapse of that time. Accordingly, an
order will be issued amending the reg
ulations SO as to reduce the time for
holding such parcels prior to sale from
IL months to 8 months. Last year,
395.161 parcels were found undeliv-
cradle.
Dead mail received by the division of
dend letters, during the year contained
GU, 700 mlsdirected letters, 115,768 un-
addressed letters. 22s.7OO letters held
for postage. 10000 letters written on
hotel letter paper by persons unknown
to the hotels and 104,700 letters bear
ing fictitious signatures.

WESTERN CANADA LEADS
: As WHEAT PRODUCER
@,0O0,000 Bushels Wheat IN
1915; In 1916 Many Farm.
ers Paid for Their Land
Out Of Their Crop.

That Western Canada is indeed
Mistress Of Wheat" to the extent that
Its 1915 crop exceeded, acre for acre,
the production of any country on this
continent is striking fact proved by
the following figures:
In 1915 the Dominion OF Canada pro-
duced 376,000.000 bushels of wheat,
which represented an average yield of
% bushels to the acre. The United
States produced 1,011, sos. 600 bushels.
yield Of II bushels per acre. The only
serious competitors in wheat produc-
tion In South America were Argentine,
with It's, ,22l 900 bushels, or less than
IL bushels per acre. and Chile, with
100000 bushels or 13 bushels per
acre.
The three Western Canadian prairie
provinces Of Manitoba. Saskatchewan
and Alberta produced between them
842, 2,000,0O bushels out of the total Ca
madam 378,000.0O0 bushels. 1t will be
seen. therefore. that. outside of the
United States, Western Canada pro-
duced considerably more than the COM
bined production of North and South
America. Canada is of course a new
settled country. and the fact that the
crop of the United States was practi-
cally three times as much Is no dis
couragement. The United States has
at present more than twelve times the
population Of Canada in approximately
the same area.
To Illustrate further the greater pro-
ductiveness Of Western Canadian land,
we submit the following figures. show
Ing the 1915 Yields per acre In the
three provinces of Western Canada
and In the states which in that year
produced the greatest quantity of
wheat. The figures are taken from the
U. S. department of agricuture's an
nual report and from the figures of the
Dominion census bureau:
The Raymer enterprise., 1917-02-01

tained at, on the average, from S2O to
tanned at, on the average. from $40 to
$50 per acre, with irrigated lands some
what higher. 1t is no exaggeration
whatever to say that number Of
Western Canadian farmers have paid
for their land entirely from the pro-
ceeds of last years crop, and this In.
cludes men who last year began for the

but the yields In many districts were
very large. So large, indeed, was the

the resulting crop proved too large to be
