and industries, in his annual report.
strongly urges a resurvey Of the coun,
ties OF. the State, that much land now

collected. The commissioner quotes
some correspondence he has had on
this subject with Col. J. Monroe John
son, Of Marion, who commanded an
engineers regiment of the Forty-sec-
ond (Rainbow) division in France.
During his administration. ex-Gov.
ernor Richard /. Manning advocated
a resurvey Of the State for the purpose
Of catching tax-dodgers and had q
bill providing for this survey intro
duced in the House Of Representa-
tives, where it was promptly rejected.

Better Seed Potatoes Needed.

Seed stocks Of Irish potatoes conf
monty available to growers. contain
many mixtures, not infrequenly dis
as they should be. The Chet OF Inc
Bureau Of Plant Industry, United
States Department of Agriculture,
makes this statement in reporting on
the progress of work in developing
Improved seed stocks. 1t is a rec
ognized fact, nc says, that the yield
of potatoes in this country is far be
low that secured in some other coun-
tries, and the difference is commonly
attributed to the use of relatively in
ferior seed stocks. Seedim mprovement
work is being carried on by the de-
partment in cooperation with agricul-
tural experiment stations in pract-
cally al! Of the important potato-pro-
ducinS States. The best seed stock of
the leading varieties in different re-
gions is being grown in the various
states. During the progress Of tn"
season the various plats are inspected
several time. for ths ''rpose of eiimi-
mating diseased plan lid those which
are not true to name or to type At
harvest time carefully studied selec-
tons are made for the. purpose of OBJ
tanning the best strains of the different
varieties. These potatoes in turn will
be used for seed purposes with a view
to developing stocks that are true to
name. true to type. free from disease
communicable through the seed. and
that possess high yielding procliTities.

New York, JAN 6.-The most pop
ular indoor sport here today was
guessing how much the New York
Americans paid Boston for Babe Ruth.
whose purchase was announced last
night at Los Angeles by Miller Hug
gins. manager Of the Yankees. The
nearest approach to anything OF an OF
fetal nature was the admission OF
Colonel Rupert the Yankee presl-
dent, that he understood that an Of
fer of one hundred thousand dollars
for Ruth was refused last summer by
the Boston Club. Sporting writers
estimate the price paid from one hun
dred twenty-five to one hundred fifty
thousand dollars, II was only a few
years ago when the announcement
that the giants had paid eleven thou
sand for Marquard, staggered the
sporting world.
