To select strains of potatoes which
are best adapted for commercial pro
duction, the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture and cooperating
State agencies are conducting exten
sive experiments In seed Improve
ments. Trials are being made In
Wisconsin, Minneapolis, Iowa, Ore
iron, Washington, Maine, Loulalana,
Texas, Oklahoma, and Arkansas.
Several strains of the leading com
mercial varieties now grown in the
North are under test, the purpose be
ing to study them carefully under
actual growing and harvest condi
tions In the field, and to select the
best strain of seed of each commer
cial variety. The following year each
strain will be grown on a larger
scale. As the supply of seed slock
permits, the seed is to be distributed
among growers and seedsmen, and
In this way Is to be gradually popu
larized an disseminated. This In
vestigation will be of cruntry-wlde
significance in improving the future
stocks of seed potatoes.

to health, la not recommended by the
Extension Service College of Agricul
ture. Fruits and vegetables, espe
cially If canned by the cold pack
method, will keep well without the
use of questionable chemical pre
servatives. In spite of the fact that
there are both national and state
laws prohibiting the sale of harmful
substances many Inquiries continue
to reach the Extension Service re
garding tbelr use. No matter what
they are represented to be or what
merits are claimed for them in can
ning, their use Is not recommended
by government or state specialists.

The amount of fees collected per
ear for either pleasure or commer
cial vehicles is as yet for from ant-
form and is still further complicated
by the widely varying requirements
for the registration or licensing of
chauffeurs, owners, operators; deal
ers, etc. Thus, if the total gross re
gistration and license revenaes be
vsed as a basis of revenue, and the
total automobile trucks and vehicle
as a basis for motor cars. It ia found
that for the entire UnKed fltatea the
average fee per car was $8. IT. - On
the same basis the State of . .New
Hampshire received In 1918 aprons
revenue of 820.62 for each " motor
car, while Minnesota' received only
about 11.75 annually for each car,
as the registration in that State Is
for a three-year period.
In most States motor cars are tar
ed as personal property in addition
to the required registration fee. In
Delaware, Idaho, Iowa, Michigan,
New York, North Dakota, Oklahoma,
South Carolina, Pennsylvania and
Vermont registration fees are In lieu
of all other taxes. Therefore, In
making any comparisons in feoa as
between the several states, this fact
should be borne In mind.
Grasshoppers are stilt giving a
good deal of bother in some sections
of the State. The Entomology De
partment of the University recom
mends the following method of fight
ing them: Mix thoroughly in a tub or
halt barrel 25 pounds of wheat bran
and 1 pound of Paris green or white
arsenic. In a separate receptacle,
mix 3 gallons of water with 1 gallon
of molasses or syrup and the juice,
finely ground pulp and skin of 6
lemons. Add this mixture to the
wheat bran and poison and mix
thoroughly. A moist, coarse, crumb
ly mixture Is desired. It should not
bo sloppy and the mixture should be
made fresh for each sowing. The
proportions given will sow about 5
acres. For the best results, the poi
son oran should be sown broadcast
over the field in strips 12 to 25 feet
wide in the morning before sunrise
or late In the afternoon. It is also
advisable to sow the poison bran
along the fence rows or weed and
grass-grown ravines from which the
grasshoppers emerge during the early
morning. If the mixture is sown
broadcast, there Is no danger of poi
soning the birds or livestock. The
grasshoppers are usually killed in
from 24 to 48 hours after eating the
poison.
