A famous French political economist drew up a statistical table some time ago on this very question, and thé analysis showed that nine-tenths of the world’s wars have grown out of quarrels that arose directly from com- mercial disputes. No fewer than fifty- five wars were elassified as civil; for- ty-one were wars of succession of Crown claims; thirty under the pre- tense of helping allies; twenty-eight were religious wars; twenty-four were wars of retaliation; twenty-two were for commercial rivalry; and eight on points of honor. Changes in National Features. Whether we ‘look at portrait “gal: | leries, like Hampton court. or turn over illustration ‘in old books, it is evident that some physiognomicai change has been taking place.

Northeastern Minnesota is especi- Jally adapted for potato growiug as potatoes do best on soil of a sandy nature. Considerable attention has been given to potato grcwing at the Northeast Experiment Farm. Over 60 different Yarieties have been tested as vo adapt, ability. yield, quality etc. From 3 to 12 acres cf potatoes have been grown every year, so that field conditions and the cultivation of po- Uotoes 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 for this section of the state, The Carmen potato has 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; 1] and 3, but the differ- ence between them is very slight. A- | side from the carmen there area num sj ber of varieties that do very we | among which ee be mentioned, Wonderful, Uncle Sam, Karly 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 a field potato the early varieties are as desirable as the later ones unless ntended to market early, as the vines die and give the weeds a chance to grow. Furthermore they are not Jasheavy yielders as the later varie- aties 1 a 3) At the present time the market {favors white potato over the red and nm size, medium rather than very || large. Yieid: The fleld potatoes (64 acres) || at the Northeast Experiment Farm in ofr ielded 165 bushels per acre. able, there being very few small ones. In 1902 the potato crop averaged 202 bushels per acre, This may be con- sidered the maximum yield under tield conditions. lu 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 potatves do best on sandy svil. The soil nowever must bé rich in fertility to produce*a good yield. Ordinary farm land should always be manured | for potatoes, Iv 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’swall pota- toes should be grown for warket, as there is no field crop more profitable for the small farm than potatoes. Duluth and the Iron Range towns will afford a good market for potatoes and the farmers of northern Minne- sota should supply 1t. — | It should not be the aim to make potatoes the only marketabie crop. | One line farming 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 takeu up in a later bulletin. . A. J. 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 efacres of Jand, has apparently been | repealed by the statute revision com- | mission’s new code. ! Nortbern 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 taw if the new code is to become effective in its present form. The state drainage commission, con- sisting of the governor, secretary of State and state auditor, with the state ‘drainage engineer, George A. Ralph, are legislated out of office by the new code, Senator A. D. Stephens, of Crook- Ston, who is the leader of she fight in the senate; for state drainage for Northern Minnesota counties, said yesterday that he had been unable in a cursory review of the new code to find anything relating to state drainage. “It is barely possible,” said Senator Stephens, “that the code. contains provisions ‘contitiuing the drainage commission and regulations under whieh ft performs the functions of its office, but certainly there is noth- ing iu the chapter relating to drain- age \in the new code about state drainage.” SENTENCED TO REFORMATORY. Oliver Joetand Gets Term of a Year and a Day at St. Cloud Institution. 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 bill, was arraigned before Judge Page Morris last week and sentenced to aterm of one year and one day in thé St. Cload 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- fession to present tu the court. He claimed he was 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 that fact one day was added and his term fixed ata year and a day. o) 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 Norphern Wiszonsin 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 this is a farm- ing community,” said he, ‘‘we ought Vo 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 eariy in the session for the re- peal ofall 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. As a reuslt of these investiga tions, cover- ing a period ‘of years, I have come to the conclusion that there is nob an- other “state or land where conditions are so favorable to diversified farm- ing as within the borders of the state of Minnesota.--Sidvey M. Owen of Minneapolis, before the immigration convention. Another Newspaper.

(ere 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. ‘There 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 Joun Sorlioi. Reports from other sections of the lumbering territory of Northeastern Mingesotu indicates that there are ample oppor- tunities for the spread of smallpox and diphtheria throughodt 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 prevent 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. Storch 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 ofteu 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 us properly ‘belongs to the county.
