The Work of Potato Improvement as Carried on Throughout Canada un- der the Direction of the Canadian During the past year very material 3 progress has been made by way of perfecting our methods of Potato Im- provement and in instituting their application throughout the country. At the last meeting of the Associa- tion a very excellent paper on Potato Improvement was read by Mr. W. T. Macoun. Horticulturist at the‘ Central EXperimental Farm. Upon! the work which Mr. Maconn and many other authorities or! the potato plant, both at home and abroad, have done. a system of potato improve- ment suitable for use among Cana- dian growers was drafted and is being applied by several this year. The system adopted is simple and practi- cal, yet is founded on scientific prin- ciples, the individual plant being taken as the basis for improvement. The tubers produced by each plant are, morphologically considered, sim- ply swollen portions of the vegeta- tive and not of the reprouuctive system. The question has therefore been raised as to whether or not the principles of breeding which apply in the case of sexual reproduction through the seed. obtain in asexual reproduction or perpetuation through parts of the vegetative system. Bud variation is, as a rule. more narrow than is seed variation, and some in- vestigators claim that a part of any plant cannot possess qualities which difier materially from those of anoth- er part of the same plant. The best obtainable evidence at the present time does not support this view and the 'individuality’ of difierent parts is now generally recognized. Since the tubers produced by any single plant are all distinct parts of that plant the possibility of variation in the productive capacity and in other qualities is recognized. Association enables the grower to plant the seed tubers taken from the difl'erent hills which were especially chosen for seed purposes the year previoes, so that any promising var- iation which may result may be se lected and need in endeavoring to build up a strong. healthy and pro- ductive type. Furthermore. in al~ most all parts of Canada no matter how suitable may be the conditions there are many adverse conditions with which the potato has to contend. Unfortunately man himself is often the worst enemy of the pOtate and unconsciously, though very material- ly, assists in its downfall. The using of small potatoes from degenerate hills is perhaps one of the most glar- ‘ ing examples of this as far as thei seed is concerned. The practising of 1 improper cultural methods is another common error. Against these things this plant is contmualL struggling year after year, and while there is a continual survival of the fittest l wherein a few plants succeed in ris ing above the prevailing difiiculties in an endeavor to maintain the stan- dard of the race, yet unfortunately these are quickly gathered in and hurried ofi to market leaving the smaller, less desirable and often ce- generate tubers remaining to be used for seed purposes. With such a sys- tem is there any wonder why many of our best varieties have suffered a ,rapid decline until they are now 'praCtically worthless? What is needed among potato growers to day is some praCtical system whereby it may be possible to select ftr seed purposes those hills which .have shown themSelves superior to others enjoying equal opportunities In .this way seed tubers which rank labove the average would be chosen while those falling short would be ignored, hence making for an upward instead of a downward tendency. lThe need of just such an arrange- ment has been met by the Association in its system of Potato Improvement already referred to. The system drafted for us by this 1 l (Extract from last mud Report of Secretary.) 8 hills in each row. both rows and [hills to be at least 24" apart. A plor. of this size, it was thought, should I not require more work than the aver- j age grower can well aflord to expend L and more careful work on the part of i the“ grower should be encouraged. From each of the 25 chosen hills .8 of F the most uniform, smooth and sound tubers. aze then chosen and pach set of 8 tubers so selected is used to plant one of the eight-billed rows, a single whole tuber being used to plant each hill. At harvest time each row is dug separately and the indi- vidual hills within the rows are like- wise kept separate for examination. This arrangement permits the grower to determine first the hem rows and secondly the best hills in these rows. The required number of specially de- sirable hills can then be laid away for planting on the plot the (allowing spring as above indicated. Special1 blank forms are sent each grower in In undertaking systematic workl according to this system it is recom- mended in the first place that a good Standard variety be chosen and that the best possible seed of that variety with which to start be secured. The new beginner is advised to test two or three leading varieties the first year in small plots side by side, to keep the hills separate when digging and, after having decided which va riety has given the hem results, to select and keep separate 25 of the best hills of this variety for planting in the breeding plot of the following year in accordance with the regula tions as drafted. While the minimum size of the seed plot recognized by the Association is 3; acre. yet in the case of potatoes It Was thought ad- visable to depart somewhat from this rule and to reduce the size of the plot to one consisting of 25 rows with duplicate in order that he may record' certain information "attending the performnm-e of each row referring GSDGCiaUV to yield, quali'lv and frye- dom from disease. \Vhile it is urged that the crop on the improved plot be sprayed for blight. yet the Spraying of the breeding plot is left to the die cretion of the individual wOwer. In districts where disease is troublesome the desirability of deveIOping Strains capable of withs'andiug these mala dies is such that spraying is ignored and those plants which have show’n the greatest power in resisting dis- ease are chosen. Phe difference be- tween varieties in their attitude to- ward blight and other diseases as observed at the difierent Experiment Stations is so noticeable that the development of disease-resistant strains seems to 0361' great possibili- ties, Note zâ€"Pozato grower-1 l‘ookmg for maximum crops are recommended to try the abova sysnem.

How did it come to pass that bar- rooms became a part of hotels in this country. 9 Why isn’t it the case that they are a part of a printing office. 9 If that was the case there would now be five printing olficcs in this town doing a roaring business inStead of two, which are ample to do all the printing that is necessary.

There isn’t muc' to say about this company save that it is:a good strong one, composed of twenty five colored peOple who do everything,r funny that darkies can do so well. The company recently appeared in Sherbrook, Que.. and The Daily Record of that city, of Sept. 2nd. speaking of their per- formance said :â€"“ The organization of colored folks at the Clement Thea. tre, Saturday afternoon and evening, under the title of the Sunny South Company, was a highly meritorlous one. There was only a fair house at the matinee, but the quality of the performance was such as to draw, a packed house at night. For its ad- vertised features, fun. melody and dancing. the show was the best that has been at the Clement for some time and the best “Coon” show that has been in Sherbroo'k within the writer’s knowledge.” The high-class silver cornet band which accompanies the organization will head the Coon town parade at noon. Seats are now on sale at McFarlane’s Drug Store. Prices 25, 35 and 50 cents. The teacher was explaining to his Scottish class the parable of the man who fell among thieves.
