] "Quite likely it is; but 1t re-

melt the icy indifference that ex-
lists here on matters Of public in
terest. We have the material
here to make a very rich and pro-
sperous people. but men differ as
to how to bring out the wealth.
One man says it can only be done
through the dairy industry, and
proves his position; another one
says it must be done through the
sugar beet and dairying combined;
another advocates diversified farm
ing, pure breeds of stock, and all
Of them have good ideas that

"Tell me about that potato deal.
The spud; the tuber that grows

cit is long story. Twenty
years ago we didn't count very
much in the potato market. Alf
Parsons and Larocque, and Lali-
berty each had a two by-four
patch of potatoes across the river,
and had a few sacks to sell. The
rest were shipped in. Fifteen
years ago the local merchants be-
gan to ship potatoes away, but
not many. Ten years ago, lots of
potatoes were shipped, and on
close loargin. The shipper would
tell the farmer what class of pota'
toes would be acceptable, and
most Of the farmers would de-
liver the required number of sacks
properly sorted. But some fe'-
low would put IN small potatoes,
and frosted ones and when the
car was opened in Butte or Kan
sas City, the whole car would be
rated according to the worst sacks
found in the car, and there would
be loss, caused by the disobed-
fence or dishonesty of one man.
But the responsibility could not
be fastened upon him because
there was no record nor any sys-
tenn by which to identify his
sacks.
The next season that merchant
would not ship on such close mar
gin because OF the risk, the ex-i

is good sign when the farmers or
any other class have something to
say, and make themselves heard.
Reflection and thought do not
amount to much unless they crys-

or merchant rises to an occasion
and talks good sound sense, he is
ready to do himself and commun-

do something to get him started,
