British Army Headquarters IN
France, April 3.-Candian armored
motorcars with rapid firers have
played an important part in checking
the German rush. Up to the present
battle they were used but little. but
In the last 10 days these cars. which
were made in America. performed
valuable work. Frequently they have
held up large bodies Of German troops
on being rushed to threatened parts
OF the front. Their presence has had
a wonderfully s.eadyins. effect on

Potato Varieties for Pine County.

/ T0tdtO VdTfetteS lot rue VNu0tys
The question often comes up.
what are the best potatoes for
Pine County. In answering this
we are often guided by our own
experience and appetites. / pre-
sumo the logical way to answer
the question would be to decide
on two or three varieties best
adapted to our soils and climate
and market requirements. What
ever is most commonly grown in
a county is usually the best to
follow because the farmers have
tried it out. The late potato
most largely raised in Pine coun-
ty is the Green Mountain, hav-
ing white blossoms, slightly OBJ
long and flattened, white skin
and a good yielder. This is often
called a Carmen potato, by some
No. l and some No. 3. The Car
man No. is Seeding of the
Green Mountain and so near like
it that except for small area
in Northern Minnesota the term
Carmen is no longer used.
The other varieties that might
be selected for late potatoes are
the King, either the smooth or
russell skinned Burbank or the
Rural New Yorker. The King is
a high yielder, apt to be large
and coarse and does not possess
the best market qualities. The
Burbanks are also good yielders
when their peculiar soil require
ments are met. These conditions
are best found on very rich loose
open soil and at the same time
holding a large moisture supply,
such as dark loan or semi-peat
soil which is usually moist and
mellow. The Rural New Yorker
some times called Carmen No. 3,
the Sir Walter Raleigh and some
other names is a round flattened
potato with shallow eyes, long
curving eyebrows and purple
blossoms. 1t is a good yielder and
a good market potato tho some
times criticised for being hol-
low. In my opinion of the five
late varieties the Green Noun
tain will probably become, as it
is now to a large extent, the
leading variety for Pine County,
because of it's adoption to a wide
range of soils and it's yielding and
market qualities.
A medium early variety is the
Irish Cobbler. a round white
chunky potato. When not sold
as an early eating potato it can
be sold with the late white stock
or sold south to some extent dur
ing February to March for seed
stock.
The early varieties grown in
this vicinity are the Early Ohio
and the Bliss Triumph. The
Bliss Triumph is in special de-
mand by the extreme south dur
ing January to March and for the
last year or so has sold during
this period for about double the
price of common market stock.
The Early Ohio is used in the
middle south as seed and it has
fair demand as table stock.
From this list of the eight
standard varieties recommended
by the Minnesota State Potato
Growers Association, l believe
the selection of not to exceed 3
or 4 of these to be grown in Pine
County would result in better
yields, better market grades and
eventually more profit per acre.
am not prepared to say just
what these few varieties should
be in Pine County, but if l were
asked to name three | would Sc
