VALUATION in

The aggregate true value OF the
assessable property in the county has
been increased from $67,776,01S in
1920 to $6s,246,502 in 1921. a gain of
$1,469.4S4,, according to the annual
report of Assessor of Incomes Charles

somewhat but no doubt in the main
they will stand. The increased val

This year the city is behind about
$4,000 and last year about 1000.
The increased valuation will make
the expenses of the city come out
above even next year. The increase
the past year of nearly half million
is in the aggregate true value, the
assessors figures being slightly diff
ferent. While J. r. Hofstatter has
been assessor the valuation in the city
has been about doubled. Next year
there will not be much increase in
the value Of residence property but
there will be some advances in the
business section Buildings are selling
for much more than they are assess
ed.

INSPECTION OF POTATO FIELDS
NECESSARY FOR CERTI-
CATION
Importance Of Seed Selection

For several years a number of po-
tato growers in the county have been
selecting seed with view Of increas-
ing yields and eliminating diseases.
Before planting, the seed was treated
with corrosive sublimate in order to
kill the rhizoctonia disease which
causes decrease in the yields of from
20 to 80 per cent. The stem ends of
the tubers used for seed have been cut
away to eliminate Fusarium Wilt
which is big factor causing low
yields and poor potatoes. Where this
method has been followed for several
years potatoes are practically free
from disease and may be certified by
the Pure Seed Department of the Ag-
ricultural. College. This certifcation
simply means that the percentage of
q 'seases and quality Of potaties is in

lay, Used for Ornaments,
Is Food Grain.

The cultivation of adlay (coix lacry-
ma jobD, with the view to Its utiliza.
ton as food grain has been under
taken by the bureau Of agriculture and
natural resources of the Philippine
islands.
The grain, which is not unlike .
wheat kernel. grows wild in the Phil
ippines. and other tropical countries
and has been chiefly used for Or;la-
mental purposes such as necklaces and
for ornamenting picture frames. al
though the inhabitants Of southern
China are said to use the grain for
food in small quantities.
The bureau OF agriculture has for
some time been engaged in developing
the production Of adlay at its experi-
mental stations In various parts "f
the islands, and Is now able to an
nounce that the grain may be grown
in such quantities as to form vaIu-
able food product. The average yield,
the bureau says, is between 1000 and
1900 pounds 10 the acre, and the plant
can be grown successfully without ir-
rigatiOn at all elevations from S"a
level to 5000 feet above the sea.
In statement on the preparation

percentage Of diseased plants could be
reported, after digging a small guam
tity of the tubers can be sent to the
Pure Seed Department Of the Agri-
cultural College. The yield Of pota-
toes can be greatly increased by the
production Of certified seed. Selec-
tion and treatment has increased the
yield as high as ~ bushels per acre
on s. B. Kegrice's farm at Darcy.
The North Dakota Potato Exchange,
an organization for the marketing Of
potatoes has employed potato spe-
cialist who will work entirely on the
marketing Of certified seed during the
fall and winter. This seed should
bring premium on the southern and
western markets.
Seed Selection.
Seed should be selected at digging
time from high producing hills. A
number Of vigorous plants might be
selected and dug with 2 fork, or sew
eral rows may be dug by hand. The
hills having a good yield of 5 or 6
marketable potatoes could be select
ed for seed the coming year. This
method will require a little time but
it would only take short time to dig
sufficient number of vigorous high
producing hills for an acre seed plot.
If the yield of potatoes is to be, in
creased from 100 to $50 or 200 bushels
per acre, as it should be. it would be-
necessary to do more hill selecting in
order to secure better yielding pota-
toes. & E
The selection of potatoes can be i'm
proved the same as dairy cattle. A
dariy farmer who keeps record on his
cows gets rid Of the Improbable ones
and the breeder Of potatoes should
also get rid of his low yielders. Rails
ing the standard Of potatoes can not
be yielded in one year but the results
of selection will show themselves even
the first year.

Root Crops Decay
May be Prevented
BY C.. B.. WALDRON

The decay of root crops is caused
primarily by bacteria, mods and fungi
which are allowed to gain entrance
into the vegetable tissues. If the
vegetables are bruised these organisms
gain entrance much more readily.
Since the organisms require a compar-
atively high temperat ure for their de-
velOpment it will be seen that dry
cool temperature is best for some
kinds of vegetables.
Prevent Rot Growth.
The exception to this is for vege-
tables that would dry out too much

''ture. In storing certain types of veg.
etables, therefore, like beets, parsnips
and carrots, it is necessary not only to
prevent the growth of the organisms
Of decay but to prevent the vegetables
from drying out. If the temperature
for these vegetables can be kept down
near the freezing point. there is little
chance of the bacteria or fungi get
ting started.
Potatoes do not dry out so readily
and should therefore be kept in
fairly dry and cool atmosphere.
Onions are inclined to sprout if kept
IN a moist or warm atmosphere so the
proper condition for them is an at
mosphere that is dry and cool. g.
Squashes and sweet potatoes must
be kept in an atmosphere that is rea-
sonably dry and rather warm.
.... Grow in Storage.
There are certain vegetables like
celery, endive, etc, that are kept grow
ing slowly throughout the storage per-
iod. These are provided with just
enough moisture and sufficient tenn
perature to maintain slow growth.

Chilean Grapes Imported.

An experimental shipment of grapes
was sent from Chile to New York,
with a view of ascertaining whether
market could be found in the United
States for the product Of the Chilean
vineyards. The grapes were shipped
in cold storage and are reported to
have arrived in excellent condition.
and to have been sold at highly sat
isfactory prices. 1t is reported that
another shipment is planned as soon
as arrangements can be- made. The
experiment is of particular interest.
since it is possible that ths eXpOrta-
ton of fresh fruit from Chile to the
United States might become very
profitable, providing shipping facili-
ties were available. Chile produces
fine fruit of almost every variety
known to the temperate zone, and it
ripens during the winter months in
the United States. when the market
would be at its best.
