NEBRASKA SEED
SPUDS GETTING
BIG REPUTATION
NEW STRAIN OF TRIUMPHS HAS
BEEN DISCOVERED
WeMern Nebraska Grower Have Pro
duced a Potato Free From
Certain DiwasM
The discovery of a new strain of
Triumph potatoes which is utronRly
disease resistant, i adding to the fame
of Nebraska as a producer of hifch
grade seed potatoes, according to Prof.
H. O. Werner, college of agriculture
extension horticulturist and secretary
of the Nebraska potato improvement
association.
The new strain, which is bolieved to
have originated in Kimball county ap
pears to be peculiarly free from a cer
tain disease which threatens to be a
furious menace to the production of
Trlump potatoes in some northern
states. This disease is also injuring
the reputation of these northern states
as producer of seed potatoes.
After a few growers were discov
ered in western Nebraska who seemed
to have strange luck with their Tri
umphs, in that they were always free
from disease, experiments were per
formed. Some of the Nebraska pota
toes were planted in Minnesota beside
native seed The Nebraska potatoes
produced an excellent crop while that
from the native seed was badly rav
ished by disease. Further experiments
were conducted, the range being scat
tered over a number of states. Dr.
W. A. Stuart, United States depart
ment of agriculture potato spwialist,
told the 1920 convention of Nebraska
potato growers, that in practically
every case Nebraska Triumph seed
showed its superiority over seed from
other states.
It has been observed for several
years that the dryland section of west
ern Nebraska produce excellent seed
potatoes, and the college of agriculture
has been endeavoring to encourage
need production. A system of seed
potato inspection and certification was
established. Men who followed speci
fied lines of culture were given the
advantage of an inspection service and
their crop was certified as good seed.
Growers of certified seed received a
big premium for their crop last year.
One man sold 2,500 bushels for 3 cents
ft pound, while ordinary potatoes aver
aged only about one third that price.
Another man sold his seed crop for 2
cents a pound. Both men sold to Texas
growers, who are anxious to buy disease-free
seed from Nebraska.
Still another man, who is said to
have one of the finest lota of Triumph
seed in the United States, is holding
his potatoes for 5 cents a pound.
Every effort is being made by the
college of agriculture to discourage
Nebraskans from the habit of think
ing they must obtain seed from other
states . Not only do they fail to ob
tain better seed but if they obtain TrI
umpn seed from some other states
they will bring in disease.
The Burlington railroad recently
purchased seed potatoes in western
Nebraska for a South Dakota com
munity, where the road is encouraging
potato growing.
Of the regular commercial crop of
table stock, there are still about 800
carloads of potatoes left in western
Nebraska, Processor Werner said
That is between a third and a fourth
of the 1920 crop. The 1920 crop was
near 5,000,000 bushels, or only about
half of the 1918 crop. The price this
year averaged around 1 cent a pound,

tinned. When plaintiffs executed and
delivered their deed the value of the
lake for potash, if the potash were
free on board the cars at Ant'och,
would aggregate MS0.000. The jury
believed testimony from which the
facts and conclusions narrated were
inferable.
"The fiuest'on is: Did plaintiff?
prove actionable fraud? This is not
the case of an owner of land trying
to sell It. It Is the case of a stranrer.
with secret knowledge of valuable
mineral deposits In the waters ni a
private lake on land, inducing the
owner, without such knowledge, to sell
the water for little or nothing. From
the standpoint of inducing a sale un-
ler the circumstances outlined, Krausr
employed the artifices of fraud in at
least three material respects. (1)
He pretended that he wanted the land
for grazing and other stock-raising
purposes. Had he told the truth,
namely, that he wanted the three sec
tions of land to get control of the
240-acre lake, he would have aroused
the interest of the plaintiffs in the
water which had been considered by
them to be a detriment. Having of
his own volition, spoken when speech
was not required he should have con
fined himself to the truth, passive
privilege of remaining silent for the
purpose of availing himself of the
fru ts of superior knowledge did not
include affirmative aid amounting to
dece;t (2) He intimated that the
ranch would be more valuable, if it
were not for the lake, whereas the
arreat value of the lake, on account of
the deposits of potash therein, was the
real object of his negotiations. Since
he voluntarily spoke on that subject,
without any legal obligation to do so,
it was incumbent on him to be truth
ful and to sav nothing to deceive the
plaintiffs. (3) By a false insinua
tion he led plaintiffs to believe that
the plant in course of construction for
the evaporation of valuable lake
waters on a commercial scale at Hoff-
innd amounted to little or nothing.
That the truh would have prevented
a sale for $17,000 is fairly inferable.
"In cases like this, the materiality
of the deception does not depend on
its effect on the purchase price, but
upon its influence on the minds of
the vendors in entering into contracts
of sale."
"The controlling principle, applic
able to tho evidence accepted by the
jury as revealing the truth, was
stated by Ixrd Chancellor Eldon b
century ago, as follows:
" " I he court, in many cases, nas
been in the habit of saying, that where
parties deal for an estate, they may
put each other at arm's length; the
purchaser may use his own knowledge,
and ia not bound to give the vendor
information of the value of his prop
erty. If an estate is of
fered for sale, and I treat for it,
knowing that there is a mine under
t. and the other party makes no in
quiry, I am not bound to give him any
information of it; he acts for himself,
and exercises his own sense and
knowledge. But a very little is suffi
cient to affect the application of that
principle. If a word, if a single word
dropped which tends to mislead the
vendor, that principle will not be al
lowed to operate."
SPECIAL INCOME TAX
CLANKS FOR FARMERS
Thousands of farmers whose net in
ome for 1920 equaled or exceeded the
xemptions of $1,000 for single per
ons ami $2,000 for married persons
A-ill be required to file on or before
March 15, 1921, income tax returns for
.he year 1920.
As an aid to farmers the bureau of
'nternal revenue has prepared a spe
cial form, 1040F, for recording sales
f live stock, produce, and a summary
if income and expenses. This form
should be attached to the taxpayer's
ndividual return on form 1040 or
1040A. Full instructions for making
out the forms are contained in each.
Under gross income a farmer is re
juired to include all proceeds derived
"rom the sale of farm products wheth
er produced on a farm or purchased
."or resale. When he exchanges his
produce for groceries, clothing, or
other merchandise he must include in
his income the value of the articles re
ceived and exchanged. Profit received
from the sale of farm land or rent re
ceived for the use thereof must also
be included.
In determining his net income, upon
which the tax is assessed, the farmer
may deduct all necessary expenses in
curred in the operation of his farm
during the year . These include cost
of cultivation, harvesting, and market
ing of his crops, the cost of seed and
fertilizer used, amount spent in repair
to farm buildings other than the
dwelling, and to fences and machinery.
The cost of farm tools used up in the
course of the year, wages paid to em
ployees other than domestic servants,
and rent paid for farm land and build
ings (other than dwelling) are deduct
able items.
Farmers who keep no records or
only records of cash receipts and dis
bursements should make their returns
on the basis of actual receipts, but
farmers who keep complete accounts
and who take inventories at the begin
ning and end of the year to determine
their profits should report on the ac
crual basis. Both methods are fully
explained on form 1040F, copies of
which may be obtained from the of
fices of collectors of internal revenue.

WJLTON RUG MILLS
CLOSED JANUARY 17
The Wilton and Body Brussells Weavers' Asso- v
ciation have voted to discontinue work on January
17th, at which time the Wilton and Body Brussells
will be closed for an indefinite period.
The supposition is that this strike will last for
several months.
Since November 9th, Wilton rugs have actually
been sold below the cost of production. Manufact
urers realized this when they named their prices,
but did so in order to stimulate business and retain
their organizations. They have now asked the
weavers to accept a reduction in wages, as well as
the reinstatement of creel boys.
Creel boys were employed by Wilton mills up x
to a year and a half ago, when weavers demanded
that the manufacturers eliminate the creel boys
and the work of the creel boys be handled by the
weavers.
The manufacturers realize that by doing away
with the creelers they are not perpetuating the
business ; in other words, the creel boy of today is
the weaver of tomorrow and it is vital to the life of
the industry that the coming generation be taught
the art of Wilton weaving.
So the strike has been called and now it is very
evident that it will be a fight to the finish.
Merchants throughout the country have al
ready begun to realize that Wilton rugs will be very
scarce and difficult to obtain before the strike is
settled.
