A NEW CHURCH AT HILL CITY Rev, Alexander Milne, pastor of Pilgrim Congregational church of Duluth, has returned home from Hill City, where he presided as moderator ata council of Congregational clergv- men which orgauized a new church there. ‘The other members of the council were Rev. H. Stutson of Biwabik and Rev. Herman P. Fisher uf Crookston. The council was organized last Oc- tober and it was proposed then to visit Hill City, but it was impossible at that time to reach the place as tbe steamer on Lake Pokegama was not running. Rev. Milne declared that they were agreeably surprised with the com- munity which they found. Being without a railroad and rather in. the heart of a wilderness they did not e pect to see such a modern, thriving place. A sawmill is one of the indus- tries, vuildings of the town except the sashes acd doors are made at Hill City. A Congregational society wf fifteen members was organized before the clergymen took their departure. ' The land lies from 10 to 15 miles southwest of Grand Rapids, and is contained in different parts of five towns. It is understood that it will be explored for mineral. Drills are already working in that part of Casv county, where the explorers hope to show up some iron mines. Some ore has, it is said, been dis- covered iu Cass county, but the infor- mation is very vague at present. EXPERIMENT FARM BULLETINS Bulletin No. 55. POTATO RAISING. For the farm of few acres under cultivation, perhaps the most profit- able crop that can be raised to sell off the farm is the potato crop; and, be- sides, this section of the state seems especially adapted for the growing of potatoes, In fact, it may be taken for granted that wherever clover is grown potatoes may also be grown successfully. The Experiment station has given considerabie attention to potatoes, especially in testing different varie- ties. Over 73 varieties have been grown altogether, 50 of which were grown continuously for four years. The Carmen potato has given the best yield. Ic is a good table potato, a good keeper, and is one of the most eptable varieties on the market. It is a late potato, white in coior and oval in shape. This variety has been used for the fleld potato un the Ex- periment farm for a number of years 4 and has proven as satisfactory as in the variety list. Of the early varieties the Early and almost eVery part of the/Sunlight, Early Ohio, Early Ruse and Prizetaker have given the best res sults.

The fleld crop on higher land yielded 150 bushels per acre. Of the small plots, under more favorable conditions, the/best yield was 220 bushels per acre, while in 1904 the highest plot yield was 450 bushels to the acre. Other things being equal, the richer the soil the higher the yield. For this reason it is recommended to al- ways Manure the ground for the potato crop. A green crop of clover plowed under is a very good form of fertilizer. Space will not permit to explain in detail the various experi- Mmenis conducted in the growing of potatues. This will be published at some later date. The conclusions drawn from the experiments, how- ever, may be stated here briefly: A sandy soil giyes better results thanaclay soil. Manuriog the soil greatly increases the yield. Guod, sound seed is necessary to produce a good crop. Small potatoes used for seed will produce small potatoes. Potatoes planted whole produce one er two large potatoes and a great many small ones. The best results are obtained when a potato is cut down to one eye in a piece and one piece planted ina bill. The sooner planted after being cut the better. Scabby seed produces scabby potas toes and infests the soil for a num- ber of years. Scab may be killed in the seed potatoes by soaking the same for three hours .in a solution of for- maldhbyde and water, using one pound of formaldhyde to thirty gallons of water, This will not prevent scab if the disease is already in the ground from a previous crop. For this rea- son potatoes should be planted on the same ground only once in every four years. ‘To treat seed potatvues for scab put in sack after cutting and submerge 10 a barrel of water con- taining the formaldhyde solution. Potatoes raised on the same ground year after year greatly decrease in yield, even when kept free from: dis- ease. Rotatior is advisable under all circumstances. High, well drained land is necessary to insure a crop ina wet season. Ridging the ground and planting on ridges is advisable when necessary: to plant on low land. An acre of ground well manured and well cultivated may be made to produce 300 bushels of potatoes: The The totai cost of labor from manur- ing the ground to getting the pota- toes in the cellar need not exceed fiftéen dollars. The average price for potatoes, one year with another, in this seetiou of the state is over fifty cents a bushel. It is recom- mended to grow potatoes as a market- able crop. A. J. McGuire.
