Potato Improvement.

Potato Improvement.
The main sources of income for
Pine County farmers are butter
fat. some surplus stock and po-
tatoes. With few exceptions po-
tatoes are the main cash crop
for the county. Generally speak
ing, we are not making the pro-
fit on this crop that we should
have. Bigger yields per acre.
better control of diseases. better
type and quality of stock and
more uniform type and few
standard varieties are needed to
improve our reputation and pro-
fits on this crop. All Of this can
not be accomplished in a minute.
1t will take two or three years
of united effort to make this
county stand as a leading pota-
to district. The time to begin
is right now.
This fall we should select 4 or
5 bushels by hand digging. These
a or 5 bushels should all come
from high yielding hills of uni
form size. type and quality. Next
spring these should be treated
with corrosive sublimate (not
formaldehyde) and planted in
a seed plot by themselves. Next
fall the best hills Of this plot
should be saved for second seed
plot and the balance of the first
seed plot used for seed in the
main field. At the end Of three
years enough seed from the es-
pecially selected high yielding
hills should be available for near
ly the whole field. We save heif-
er calves from our best produc-
ing cows. Why not do the same
with potatoes when the same
law Of breeding and selecting
and transmission Of hereditary
characters apply to both plants
and animals.
Save Seed Corn.
Yes, a two years supply. Let
us never get caught again as we
were this year. Get your plans
laid IA place to cure and store
the seed ears. The second week
in September will soon be here.
Let us be ready to do it now
when the time comes.
The Seed CRATER
The following statement BY
Professor Boss is very timely II
"a word to the wise is sufficient:
1t is reported that certain
seed firms or agents Of firms are
again canvassing the state and
offering for sale new varieties
of oats of unknown adaptability,
and that they are proposing to
sell these varieties as seed to
farmers at two or three dollars
a bushel."
These oats are purported to
have been recently imported
from Sweden and from other re.
mote regions. It is doubtful
whether such oats will give any
better yields or be Of any better
quality than the well estab.
Used standard Of oats which are
at the present time produced in
Minnesota and which can be pur-
chased from reliable and well
known seedmen and growers at
q far lower price. II IS unwise
to buy seed Of any kind from an
unknown aren't.
Such varieties Of. oats as Min
nesota Swedish Select, Victory,
Minnesota No. 2Sl, No. 295,
Kherson and Iowa No. lO3 are
believed to be the best oats avail
able at present for the average
Minnesota conditions.

Alfred Rydelius, Swedish la
borer in Salt Lake City, was in
formed last week that his broth
er in Stockholm had died, leav-
ing him about $l5O,0OO deposited
in Swedish, British and Ameri-
can banks. Alfred Rydelius, who
formerly was a shoemaker in
Sundsvall, Sweden, lost all his
property in a big, fire about 20
years ago and then came to
America.
To Go East.
Rev. Elias Prpvensen, Audu-
bon, Iowa, has resigned for the
purpose of being enabled to ac-
cept an offer from the United
Danish Lutheran congregation
in Boston, Mass. Mr.. Provensen
formerly has held charges in
Racine, Wis, Cedar Falls, Iowa,
and other cities. He was the
special delegate sent from his
church to the Danish Lutheran
church at the convention about
two months ago when he had
been empowered to carry greet
ings.
DR.. Seehus Dead.
DR.. Martin Seehus, a very
widely known Norwegian, died
a few days ago; he was born in
Norway, came to the United
States As years ago, settling with
his parents in Chicago. -Arvid
Lyngholm, young Christiania
business man who had come to
this country only about a month
ago on a special commercial mis-
sion, died last week in New York
of heart disease. Mr.. Lyngholm
was only % years old, and it was
thought that his sudden ailment
was in some degree due to the
intense heat from which the me-
.ropolis suffered.
A Giant Soldier.
A giant Swede, Arthur Oliver
Skalbeck, has been sent to the
office Of the marine recruiting
mission in st. Paul from Sacred
Heart, Mimi. The unusual thing
about this strapping fellow is
that he measures 6 feet 81 inches
and weighs 237 pounds. He is
very anxious to get in touch
with the Germans, he said, and
as he was reported to be a per-
feet physical specimen of hu-
manity. it appears that his wish
will be fulfilled.
Regulations Changed.
It is relief to a great many
Danes, born in Slesvig- Holster,
that the United States govern
ment now has decided that even
tho they are Prussian citizens
(which they can't help), they
will not be considered enemy
aliens to the extent that natur-
alization papers will be refused
them during the war. A new
ruling has jnst been made by
which it is possible for Sender
jyder" to become American citi-
xens, even at this period.
Will Move School.
The Norwegian Free Lutheran
church, which comprises a con-
siderable number of congrega-
tions in the northwest, is contem-
plating moving its Bible school
at Wahpeton. N. D., to Grand
Forks, N. D., where former
business college building may be
purchased for the purpose. No
definite plans have been an
nounced yet.

The statement read: ''The people

"What I used to do when put any
thing away" said Mr.. Blinkinton, "was
to bestow it with great care in some
place where I would know just where
to find it, and then I would forget 1t
completely. More than once when I
have wanted something that had thus
carefully put away have had to tear
the house apart to find it.

be a great help and comfort.
"Now when I put anything away
first enter it in that book, which is, of
course, indexed, so that won't have to
look through long list of things when
I want to find anything.
"Once soon after I started the book
I put that away somewhere very care
fully and then forgot where I had put
it and had a terrible time looking it
up; but since then I have kept it in
spot where it can't fail to come under
my eye daily; and it works like a
charm.

Reservoir Dams in Tunis.

Already the French are looking fer
ward to the rapid development of the
province of Tunis in Africa. Accord
ing to a civil engineer who has been
Investigating the matter there are
about 80 localities in that country
where dams could be constructed, with
reservoir capacities ranging from g.
100000 to 40OOOO,OO0 cubic meters, and
water power ranging from 30 to 5000
horse power of continuous energy. The
engineering difficulties are stated TO
be small in comparison with those OF
dams already built in Europe and the
United States, and the utilization of
the water for irrigation, electrical
power, and in one case canal naviga-
ton il estimated to furnish good
margin of profit. The numerous ruins
of Roman dams found in Tunis show
by what methods the country became
i'the granary of Rome" under the en-
Dire and the ruins of large cities, with

THISTLE IN SCOTCH HISTORY
Various Traditions Concerning Its
Adoption by the Highland Clans
as Their Emblem.

''The thistle of Scotland is said to
he the oldest national flower, and ira
di-ion traces its adoption to the reign
Of Alexander III and the battle of
Larga" (when an attacking Dane
stepped upon thistle and invOlun-
tarily gave the alarm, whereupon the
Scots drove the invaders out).
Another account of its adoption is
of It very different character" writes
Katherine NJ. Beals in Flower Lore and
Legend. "About the middle of the
fifteenth century a company of stern
faced men met in the council cham
Der of Edinburgh, and the occasion of
that meeting was to discuss the adj
visibility of substituting the thistle
for the figure of st. Andrew on the
national banner. The proceedings of
the council were secret, but soon after
the thistle appeared upon every Scot
tiSh banner. The national motto might
have been adopted with appropriate
ness on either Of these occasions:
Memo me impune lacessit.' The polite
reading of this is, No man attacks
me without being punished but the
more simple translation of earlier days
was, Touch me Who dares' while the
original is supposed to have been, 'Wha
dare NEEDLE wi, me 2, AnntE Dinscrip=-
ton which sometimes accompanies the
Scottish emblem reads: 'Ce que Dieu
garde, est bien garde;' That which
God guards is well guarded
"The thistle appeared officially for
the first time during the reign of
James II, who had it placed on the\
coinage of the kingdom and adopted
it as his own badge. 1t also appeared
upon the coins in the reigns of James
", Mary Stuart, James V and James
VI. The thistle merke was a silver
shilling. The thistle dollar was dou-
BILE merke. Each took its name from
the emblem on it,"

Iron ore is found in many parts Of
Russia, although it is mined in but
few localities. In the Ural range there
are whole mountains of rich ore, con-
tanning from 80 to 20 per cent Of iron.
Among these ore mountains are Blag-
odat, Magnitnaya and Vysokaya. De
spite it's apparent accessibility, iron
ore in this vicinity is not mined very
extensively. The Ural deposits yield
ed, in 1913, 1,S32,OOO tons Of iron ore,
out of the total 9,692,300 for the whole
of Russia.
Besides these, silver, copper, lead,
zinc ores are extant in various parts
Of Russia, and these deposits are prob
ably sufficient to supply her needs;
however, the development of the min
ing industry is insufficient as yet to
make the yield meet the demand. She
Is compelled to import large quantities
of the ores needed in her metallurgy,
while her own wealth is lying dormant.
