MANY POTATO STATES REPORT A
SHORT CROP AND TUBERs WILL
BE HIGH. ss N
Those who are fortunate in having
a large crop Of potatoes this year will
probably receive good prices as it is
said g III Nebraska, Kansas, Missouri,
Illinois and Iowa the outputs will be
almost an absolute failure on account
of the prolonged drouth. Potato deal
ers assert that in North Dakota there
is only about two-thirds the acreage
of last year planted to potatoes and
there will be about one-half a full
crop. The valley counties have sus-
tained a large loss in acreage on ac-
count of too much moisture. Several
farmers have reported that most of
their potatoes have been drowned out.
But those who have their crops on
higher ground n said to have excel
lent prospects of a bounteOus yield,
In many instances where the vines
look large and healthy it is found up
on examination that the potatoes are
small and few in number. The high
price of seed in the spring tended to
geep down the acreage planted.
There seems to be quite a demand for
northern potatoes in the st. Louis and
Kansas City markets and there have
been several buyers in the city of late
making contracts to be filled in the
fall at from 40. to so cents. The
freight to these places is said to be 20
cents per bushel and it will require a
good price to make shipments pay.
Buyers express the opinion that the
farmers will receive about 40 cents per
bushel for their potatoes in the fall,
which will make them very profitable.
Prices r almost certain to be better
than last year.

COTTON PROSPECTS.

The nf c9sslty of replanting
large area has created a scarcity
of cotton seed. The outlook fer
the crop in the southwest, where
il is planted earliest, was at first
fine, but floods and cool weather
have upset the general calculation
and the farmers find that they
must do much replanting,
They have plenty of time to do
so, but for several reasons they
may not fully restore the dams
aged acreage. In many localities
seed is hard to get and is held at
high prices. The apprehension Of
very large crop has increased
considerably of late and this may
deter many farmers from raising
as much cotton as they intended.
The New Orleans Picayune,
however, fears that there will still
be dangerously large crop. On
information from it's correspond
ents in the Mississippi valley and
Texas that excellent authority on
cotton prospects says:
"Despite all drawbacks there
can be no doubt at all that a
strong desire exi IS to increase
acreage, aud this desire is being
carried into effect wherever possls .
bic. With such a predisposi,ion it
is impossible that there should be
any other result than cons der
able increase in acreage.
"Of course, the mere size of TIE
acreage does not imply a large
crop, as too many precarious ele-
ments must entar into the calcula-
tion to render the realization of
single one conclusive. While a
large acreage is first essential to
large crop, it is possible that un-
favorable weather may effectually
Offset any gain that may be due to
larger acreage.
"That the cotton producers hay g
the desire and purpose to plant
for large crop, there seems to be
no reason to doubt; hence it would
he absurd for persons interested
in the cotton trade to overlook
that fact. Even assuming that the
producers will be handicapped by
the scarcity of seed for replanting
and the lateness of the season, the
increase in acreage will be large
enough to warrant the expectation
of an increased yield with any,
thing like average weather.
There are very few well-in-
formed persons who do not ex
pect that the cotton crop of 1901
| will be at least as large as that OF
last year.

The people koow that the
school book law is for their good,
and they re- oics that the School
Book Trust has not been able to
fassen their high priced books on
the children of the State. The
people are pleased, too, because
the graded schools are included
in the bill just like the other
schools. The folks know that
books that are good for the town
schools are good for the country
schools, and they know, further
more, That by all of the public
schools using the same books,
thus increasing the volume OF
business, that publishers will sell
their bouks much cheaper.

MRS. w. p. GRANGER DEAD.

Daily Argus, March 18th.
After a short illness of pneu-
monia, borne with meekness and
Christian resignation, the death
of Mrs. Joanna Julia Balm Gran
ger occurred this morning at APO
O'Clock at her home in this city.
She was the wife of our towns
man Mr.. w. P. Granger, who
with one Child still survives her
and who. together with her bro
ther Capt. T. H. Balm, are tend.
cred the sincere sympathy of
numerous friends in their attic
ton. She was aged AZ years, 2
months and 90 days.
A good woman has gone to her
reward. While friends and rela-
tives, whose hearts are wrung
with bitter anguish. stand over
the l~ifeless form to-day and shed
tears Of regret, "they weep not
as those having no hope" for
"beyond this vale of tears" they
"can meet where parting is no
more" The parting with loved
ones here on earth brings the
most excruciating sorrow which
the human heart can realize and
which can only be relieved by the
grace of God and a belief in the
resurrection.
The deceased was a devoted
member Of the Presbyterian
church, from which the funeral
will be held tomorrow morning
at II O'Clock, conducted by the
pastor Rev. F.. w. FAIRIES, and
the lnterment made in Willow
Dale Cemetery.
