Among th! resources of this vicinity the potato industry, though secondary to stockralsing, is of considerable- im portance. For the lasj. seven or 'eight years, during the dry years, the potato crop has been uniformly good and the price litis, been such yiat It has been atull times profitable. Our, potatoes have an established reputation for quality in the markets to which we have access both for table use and for seed. Since it has been demonstrated that this crop can be grown in our soil during, the dryest years with profit there ought to be a greatly increased acreage in the county next year. The introduction of new ami pure varieties should be attended to not only by our Intelligent aud progressive farmers but by the county board who might as sist by a liberal appropriation. In eastern Nebraska the agricultural so cieties experiment with the different varieties of corn, wheat, oats etc., by giving seed of the different varieties to farmers in the different counties or different parts of the btitne eountv I when they possess diversified soil. These are closely observed and the details of their growth are reported and from these reports much useful information is obtained regarding their adaptability and so forth. There is but a small quantity of seed shipped into this county and as a result it is be coming difficult to find pure varieties. If pure varieties arc no longer grown then the seed outlet for potatoes will soon be gone. This has always been the most paying market. It seems to us that the thing to do is to experiment during 1003 with many varieties by the farmers with the assistance of the county commissioners and for potato raisers to go to the expense of securing pure varieties of seed, northern grown which are known to do well here. An agricultural society, which of course would include a stock department, ought to be a success in this count' and if organized could have charge of experiments in this line with potatoes and also in the line of grasses which fiourish in a semi-arid region. Govern ment and state aid could be secured in such work. . w" hkvd5t;lci:t(icLl;iirniluie. as wo beliuve. Wt isk you to cqnjfLifi nud pass juclintbnt.
