Bulletin No. 43 by Superintendent Me- Guire of Grand Rapids Experiment Station Discusses Potato Culture. Northeastern Minnesota is especi- ally adapted for potato growiug as potatoes do best on soil of a sandy nature. Considerable attention has been given to potato grewing at the Northeast Experiment Farm. Over 60 different varieties have been tested as vo adapt, ability. yield, quality ete. From 3 to 12 acres ef potatoes have j been grown every year, so that field conditions and the cultivation of po- Lotoes as a market crop have been Studied as well as test of varieties. Varieties: In the varicty test as in | Lest of oats a potato has been found that seems best fur this section of The Carmen potato has done best at the Experiment Faru, both in yield and quality. It is a white potato some what oval in | shape and rather late in maturicg. There are two yarieties of Carmen; Carmen No; land 3, but the differ- ence between them is very slight. A- ber of varieties that do very well, among which might be mentioned, Nhe Pingree, Wonderful, Uncle Sam, -} Early Sunlight, Maggy Murphy, Bur- bank and Prize Taker. Foran early potato the following are used: Enurly Ohio, Early Sunlight Prize Taker, and Early Triumph. For afield potato the early vurieties are as desirable as the later ones unless intended to market early, as the vines die aud give the weeds a chance to grow. Furthermore they are not asheavy yielders as the later varie- Lies. Ab the present time the market sa while potato over the red and medium rather than very Yield: The field potatoes (64 acres) Jat the Northeast Experiment Farm in 904 yielded 165 bushels per acre. Of esegver-Oh per -eent were inarke = able, there being very few small ones. Tn 1902 the potato crop averaged bust per acre, ‘This may be con- sidered the maximuur yield under tield conditions. Ju the variety test (small plots) a much larger yield is frequently secured, but for a_ ftieid 200 bushels per acre is extra good. Soil: As was stated iu the beginning potatoes do best ov sandy soil. The soil nowever must be rich in fertility to produce*a good yield. Ordinary farm land should always be manured for potatoes, It is important to select’ rather high ground for potatoes or ground that is well drained. Potatoes drown- ed out very easily where there is an excess of water in the soil. Use the same ground, for potatoes only about every third year. Potatoes are more | subject to disease when grown suc- cessively on the same soil. In this section’ of the state where the farms are necessarily’small pota- toes should be grown for market, as there is no field crop more profitable for the small farm thao potatoes. Range towns will afford a good market for potatoes and the farmers of northern Minne- sota should suipply it. It should not be the aim to make potatoes the only marketabie crop. whether wheat, potatoes. or cotton always brings about the same result: “a run out farm.” -A good sbare of the crop whether the farm is large or small must be fed on the farm, and sold in the form of meat, butter and eggs. The cultivation and care of potatoes will be taken up in a later bulletin. McGuire. State Drainage Law Wiped Out By Code The state drainage law, under which the state has drained large areas of swamp lands and reclaimed thousands ‘ | of acres of land, has apparently been | repealed by the statute revision com- | mission’s new code. Northern Minnesota legislators had planned a campaign to be waged at the present session of the legislature to secure an appropriation of $200,000 for state drainage. but they are con- fronted by the task of re-enacting a state drainage law if the new code is to become effective in its present form. The state drainage commission, con- sisting of the governor, secretary af State and state auditor, with the state drainage engineer, George A. Kalph, are legislated out of office by the new code. . Senator A. D. Stephens, of Crook- the senate; for state drainage for Northern Minnesota counties, said ay Lbat he had been unable in iything drainage. “It is barely possible,” said Senator Stephens, “that the code. contains provisions continuing the drainage commission and regulations under which it performs the functions of its otice, but certainly there is noth- ing in the chapter relating to drain- age \in the new code about state drainage.” SENTENCED TO REFORMATORY. Oliver Joeiaud Gets Term of a Year and a Day at St. Cloud Institution. relating to state Oliver Joelaud, who had been in- dicted on acharge of securing a letter belonging to another person from the Grand Rapids postoftice and remov- ing from it a $20 dill, v arraigned before Judge Page Morris last week and sentenced to aterm of one year and one day in the St. Cloud reform- atory. Joleaud bad previously pleaded guilty to the charge. At the time of his indictment Jol- eaud was in custody of Sheriff Hooli- han at Grand Rapids. A bench warr- ant was issued for his arrest and Deputy United States Marshal Frank Tufts came after him. He admitted his guilt before being placed in custody of the United States officials and had prepared a long con- on to p nt tothe court. He claimed he intoxicated at the time of the crime. In sentencing the prisoner Judge Morris granted the lenieucy asked by the district attorney. It was found that the minimum punishment under the law was more than one year. Io view of tbat fact one day was added and bis term fixed ata year and aday. “= ‘To Repeal Game Laws. A determined effort will be made at the present session of the legislature to repeal the Wisconsin gamelaws. Our people are fast beginning to realize thav Northern Wiseonsin is a farming community aud not a game reserve. They argue. that the game laws tend to give us poor advertising abroad. It.is just as a farmer said to me this week. “If th farm- ing community,” said he, ‘‘we ought Uo advertise that fact, and not the fact that game abounds inour midst.” He then went on to say that the sooner all wild game was driven out of Northern Wisconsin the better it would be for all concerned. It is understood that bills will be intro- duced early in the session for the re- peal of all game laws and it will be put through both branches of the legislature if that is possible. A Boost for*Minnesota. Not to be egotistical, but better to bring out wy point, let me say that I bave visited every state and territory in the union; I have visited Mexico and other countries on this side of the Atlantic; I have visited lands abroad; and everywhere I went I, made a study of agricultural conditions. a reuslt of these investiga tions, cov ing a period of years, I have come to the conclusion that there is not an- other state or land where conditions are so favorable to diversitied farm- ing as within the borders of the state of Minnesota.--Sidney M. Owen of Minneapolis, before the immigration convention. Another Newspaper.

DEFECTIVE PAGE ston, who is the leader of the fight in | review of the new code to | tact. and should he form an alliance | SMALLPOX AND DIPHTHERIA County Physician Storch Has Two Cases | of Diphteria and One of Smallpox in Quarantine, Contazeous diseases have not devel- oped iu this county to any alarming extent up tu the present time, but the indications point to considerable work for County Physician Storch before the close of the season. One ca se of smallpox is now at the county detention hospital. Oscar Lackren is the patient. He was brought down from camp No. 6 of the Itasca Logging company. ‘here are also two cases of diptheria in quarantine at the hospital maintained by the county for the treatment of that disease. The patients ‘are Herman Smith and Jobn Sorlici. Reports from other sections of the lumbering territory of Northeastern Minnesota indicates that there are ample oppor- tunities for the spread of smallpox and diphtheria throughobt the log- gingcamps. Dr. Storch points out the fact that it 1s impossible to en- force quarantine regulations among thecamps. Men who have been ex- posed to the disease are sure to travel! about, To prevent it would require the service uf a small standing army. Reports published in Duluth and other papers shows that there exists many cases of smallpox scattered all over the logging districts. Great precaution should be exercised to preveut the spread of the desease by the health authorities of the several counties and municipalities and the authorities should have the earnest co-operation of those who are in charge of lumber camps. Dr orch suggests that there should be a deten- tion hospital established and main- taived under the supervision of the village of Deer River for the care of such cases as may be brought to that Village from lumber camps and else- where in that vicinity. This would advocate the necessity’ of carrying patients from that~section tw Grand Rapids on the trains. Many people are often exposed by coming in con- tact with smallpox patients in rail~ way cars. The village would be re- imbursed by the county for such cases as properly «belongs to the county.
