THE POTATO SITUATION

S. III. Hall Doubts Rumors of an I'M
pending Corner.
s. H. Hall, one Of the prominent COM
mission men Of the city, and in close
touch with the Minneapolis potato mar
ket has small faith in the ability of thu
beef trust to corner food products, par-
ticularly potatoes. AS yet there is no
evidence that any attempt is being made
to gather in the tubers, at least in this
city. The Minneapolis potato market is
the largest in the country and would
probably be the first to feel any move
looking toward a corner.
Mr.. Hall admits that almost anything
,s within the power of the gigantic conf
bination, but is inclined ito think that
the present rumors are without founda-
ton. The beef trust, he says, IS not
buying potatoes except in very small mall
quantities, and then only for its own use.

THEY PREFER SORGHUM
Northwestern Farmers Are Using
but Little Kafiir Corn.

Kaffir corn sales are decreasing and the
use Of amber cane or sorghum for fodder
is increasing in the northwest. the
Kaftir corn, so popular in Kansas and the
southwest, does not mature sufficiently in
the short northern season nor do any OF
the late varieties of fodder give ripened
ears Kaff1r corn is difficult to cure. Al
though it resists heat well, sorghum also
has heat resistance. In comparison the
Kafflr fodder nas the advantage Of a
heavier yield, but it. does not have the
good feeding value of sorghum, which is
on the whole better for the northwest.

BUGGY fired the first shot. l started
in, but seeing her approaching with a
smoking revolver, returned to the

to her husband and fired two shots
through his head. His mother cried
out oh, she has killed my boy She
then killed herself. BUGGY came from
the bank about $50 p. NJ and every
