Purchasers of new suits after the present season are warned by the National Association of Cloth- iers of New York, in a circular just sent out, that if the garment fades they must learn to accept the situation as one over which no mill, manufacturer or retailei can exercise control. “The complete cessation of im- ports of coal tar dyes,” the letter, which is sent to all retail clothing merchants in the United States, continues, “the rapid exhaustion of domestic supplies, and the in- adequacy of American production haxe caused most Woollen and Worsted mills to refuse color o-uar- antees of their fabrics for the fall and winter season. Surely, the American public can be trusted to meet this condition cheerfully, if everybody is frank about it.” Probably nothing helps more to make a railway iourney really en~ ioyable than a visit to the “din- ing car, especially if it be a Ca- nadian Pacific dining -'car, where the passenger is assured of the highest form of efficiency in the culinary art, the choicest provis- ions the market affords, prepared on the scientific principle known as “Dietetic Blending.” Your fav- ‘orite dish, as you like it, may be .enioyed at reasonable -cost, amidst ideal -surroundings‘ while travelling on the Canadian Pacific.

An increase of 50 per cent. in Tyield would mean an increase in ;the amount of potatoes produced ;on each average acre of land suf- iicie‘nt to supply about one dozen iDeOple for 12 months. In most [Years Ontario imports potatoes 3 from the Maritime provinces and ,at the present time a part of four supply is coming from the 3the provinces of Alberta and Brit- iish Columbia. Ontario is well ad- apted to the production of pota- _toes of excellent quality and ?should supply at least her own demands. â€"-..._â€"â€" â€"â€"._» l The potato crop of Ontario could be decidedly and economic- ally improved by a more general use of pure, Well bred seed of a few of the best varieties, by the adoption of better methods of culture, and by a more complete control of insects and diseases. It should be the aim of every grower to produce large yields of uniform potatoes free from disease and of fhigh table quality. Varieties of l l I i I I 3 I l l potatoes differ greatly, not only in yield per acre but also in free- dom from rot and in cooking; qual- ities. For instance, in the trying season of 1915, the varieties of potatoes grown under uniform conditions at the Ontario Agricul- ftural College varied in yield per 'acre from 13 to 366 bushels‘ in 'amount of rot from less than one to over 70 per cent, and in table quality from 36 to 83 out of a :maximum of 100 points. Some Ekinds are found to be very susâ€" ‘ceptible to rot and others to be _ we. almost immune. The table quality of potatoes varies far more than many people realize when mealiâ€" ness, flavor and appearance of different varieties are taken into consideration and are carefully determined. The man who grows good pota- toes When potatoes are needed is a public; _ benefactor. .3 ,AL-, vâ€"w In each of four years an experi- ment has been conducted at the Agricultural College in testing- under similar conditions potatoes obtained from different sources. For instance, 18 lots of Empire State potatoes were secured from ei‘rht different sourcesâ€"five in the province of New Brunswick and three in Ontario. Seed pota- toes grown about 140 miles north of Guelph, in the IVILISkOkfl dist- rict, near the Muskoka lakes, have given a higher yield per acre than those obtained from any other source in each of the four years of this (experiment. Seed potatoes, grmvn in a cooL moist climate which prevents maturity, are often superior to those which have ripened in a‘ hot‘ dry cli- mute ‘l'mlmature seed potatoes are usually inferior for table use liut furnish excellent seed. Potatoes grown in Ontario in a compara- tively cold, wet season, like that of 1915, are likely to be of good quality for plantind, providing they are free from disease. Tubers showing discoloration or signs of rot on the outer surface, or when out, should not be used for plant- mgr. There are far too many varie-j ties grown on the farms of Ontar-l 10. This is one of the greatest; weaknesses of the potato indus-T trx of the prox 111cc It is a defectl that should be remedied as soon as possible. If Ontario \1 ould con- fine herself to a few of the best varieties of potatoes the annual crop would be increased in vield l in quality, and in commercial ‘ value. . l There are over 1,000 named var- ieties of potatoes in North Amer- ica and fully 400 have been grown under experiment at the Ontario Agricultural College. Many of these are quite inferior, even though they have been extrava- gantlv advertised: some are old varieties under new names. and comparatively few are worthy of general cultivation by the farm- ers of Ontario. If these few were grown to the exclusion of fully 80 per cent. of the kinds now under cultivation, better results would be obtained, whether the potatoes were produced for home use or for commercial purposes. Some of the varieties of pota- toes Which have been prominent in the experiments at the Ontario Agricultural College and in the co-operative experiments through- out Ontario are the Empire State: the Davies’ Warrior, the Rural New Yorker No.2. the Green Mountain and the Carman No. 1 of the late and the Extra Early Eur- eka, the Early Ohio, and the Strav Beauty or Bliss Triumph of the early varieties. In appearance there is a similarity between the Green Mountain and the Delaware varieties and alsolbetween the Extra Early Eureka and the Irish Cobbler varieties. In the experiments at Guelph, however the Green Mountain and the Ex- tra Early Eureka gave the best results in yield per acre, in table Quality, and in freedom from rot. The three varieties of potatoes Which have made particularly good records in the co-operative experiments throughout Ontario in productivene,ss, table quality and popularity with the experiâ€" menters are the Davies’ Warrior and the Empire State of the late, and the Extra Early Eureka of the early varieties. In the average results of all the varieties grown in the years 1905, 1906, 1910 and 1915: in Whlch there were more or less rot in the potato crops at the college, the Davies’ Warrior, the Extra Early Eureka and the Stray Beauty pro- duced the smallest, and the Early Rose, the Beauty of _HebroLn and {he 'iEa'râ€"lj} “biiio'the largest per- centages of rotten potatoes of all the varieties grown under uniform conditions. . It has been found to be good SEED POTATOES I It is often an advantage to exâ€" ; pose whole seed potatoes in a sub- :dued light in a warm room about ;three weeks before planting. Es- fnecially is this true if the pota- ., toes are to be grown for early use. iThe production of short. thick. igreen sprouts before planting helps to hasten the growth and to increase the yield. practice to use smooth, well shap- ed, sound tubers of good size and of the best varieties. These can be cut by hand into sets from one to two ounces in weight, each set containing two, three or, even better, four eyes. It is an advantâ€" age to throw the freshly cut po- tato sets into finely ground land plaster and to plant them immedi- ately after being cut. Good results 'have been obtained by_ dropping the pieces separately from 12 to 15 inches apart in the rows and by having the rows 28 or 30 inches apart. The potato sets can be planted from three to five inches deep, depending upon the charac- ter and the condition of the soil. Level cultivation frequently gives the best results =‘on a light soil. and ridged cultivation on toil of a heavier nature.
