II. O. Werner, nwrrlary of the Ne
braska potato growers' linproveinent
association, and K. F. Howard. state
tiorlcuKurlnl.'arc in western Ncliras
ka to begin Intensive experiment In
n effort to make Nebraska one of
the large Reed potato producing
platen. This will be the third year
for these experiment. Much atten
tion hat hern directed to weatern
Nebraska potatoes since Itox Iiutte
county In 1918 took all prizes a-?
potato ronteftts throughout the mid
dle went, in competition with the
frea't potato Rrowing states, Includ
ing Minnesota and Wisconsin.
Ten vnrletlea will be grown at
thirteen places In the western part of
the state thla year either under dry
land or Irrigated conditions. In ad
dltlon there will be experimental
work In IKmball, Scotts Bluff. Itox
Hutu-, Daw and Sheridan counties
o determine factors that Influence
the production of potatoes. The
variety aeed teats will be conducted
At Kearney, Sidney, Kimball, Ilush
nell, Morrell. Scotts Uluff, Ilaynard,
I4aco, Angora, Alliance, Chadron,
Kushville, Gordon and Lincoln.
In cooperation with the United
States department of agriculture the
ftate university Is conducting trials
in southern states with seed potatoes
obtained from Maine, Michigan,
North Dakota, Wisconsin, Minnesota,
and the dry lands and irrigated lands
of western Nebraska. These trials
will determine what Nebraska aeed
can do In competition with northern
seed when grown In the south.
A comparison of the yielding qual
- Itles has been made the Inst two
years of seed produced under dry
land cniidltlons of western Nebraska
with seod from various other atates.
This comparison has been made in
eastern Nebraska, central Missouri
and southern Texas. These tenia In
dicate that seed stock produced In
the high altitudes of western Nebras
ka without irrigation will yield fav
orably with seed produced In the
northern states.
It Is the belief of members of the
potato Improvement association that
Nebraska should take a high place
among the potato states, not. only In
the production of potatoes for table
use but also In the production or
seed. If experiments conducted by
the Nebraska experiment station and
the United States department of ag
riculture ahow that Nebraska, pota
toes have the proper quality an effort
will be made to place them In active
competition with more northern pro
duction. Under the direction' of Dr. O. K.
Condra, head of the unlvernity de
partment of geography and conserva
tion, moving, pictures will be taken
of the Nebraska potato Industry.
The potato association also pinna to
line various methods or advertlsltiK
for the purpose of mnklng the world
acquainted with Nebraska potatoes.
Speaking of the Nebraska potato
industry, H. F. Howard, who nas
been In charge of the experiments,
said:
"There are almost unlimited pos
sibilities for extending the potato in
dustry In western Nebraska. Over
one-three1 or four-year crop rotation
with potatoes as one of the crops
makes it possible to grow potatoes
Indefinitely. ,
"The total output of potatoes in
Nebraska is approximately 12,000,
000 bushels. This places the state
about tenth among "the larger potato
producing states of the union. A
large per rent of the total yield Is
grown in the counties, including
Scotts Illuff, ISox Iiutte, Sheridan.
Dawes, Kimball, Manner, Morrell,
Sioux and Brown. ' Approximately
2.000.000 bushels are grown with Ir
rigation In Scotts Bluff, Morrill,
Sioux and Kimball counties. j
"On account of the climate and
soil conditions in these counties K
may bo said that the potato will
probably always be one of the prin
cipal agricultural crops. The high al
titude insures a relatively low mean
temperature. The season Is short.
The soil possesses sufficient plant
food. The conditions sre all favor
able for the production of potatoes.
"It Is not uncommon to get a yield
of 1C0 bushels without irrigation."

Every great war, almost every
great battle, in fact, has had its boy
hero, and the Marne was no excep
tion. In this Instance, according to
returning doughboys, K was a yonng
bugler. The lad was captured by the
Germans and was brought before the
genral staff with the view to obtain
ing some Information from him.
The lad protested that he had none,
that he was only a bugler. " The Ger
man officers were sktpitcal, so thev
commandeered a bugle and proceed
ed to test the boy. "Sound taps,"
was the order, and the lad prompt
ly obeyed. "Now revllle." Again
the mellow notes blared forth. "Now
retreat." "Gee whli. but that's a
new one on me. Guess they knew It
would be wasting time to learn It."

THE
DLY
TOBACCO
Horse Sense About Tobacco
Good tobacco ought to be like a well
bred hoss all th't kick taken out but
all th' sperit left in.
You see, half the secret of makin' a good hoss is
in the breedirV an half in the breakin. Selectin'
tobacco that's grown right is only half oi makin
Velvet. The agein is the other half.
Thar's only one kind of agein that gets th right
results Nature's oivn. Nature's no clock
watcher. She does a job right whether it takes
two years or two thousand.
So when she gets through with the fine Kentucky
Burley that we put away in wooden hogsheads
for two years, it's just right
It ain't been hurried none,
or short - cutted. It's a
Nature-done job.
All kinds of things are
packed in tobacco tins, but
your good neighbor will tell
you "Velvet is the real pipe
tobacco." Prove it for yourself.
