WEARY WlLLIES
HAVE TO MIGRATE
TIME Is NEAR FOR A ROUNDUP.
Labor Agent Says the remaining
Floatcrs Will Not Work.

DO Won see those $50 men stand

ployment agent TO a reporter for the
Tribune this morning. The news
paper representative answered IN the
affirmative. Well" said the agent
81 have offered every one of them a
lob at 50 day and their board, and
/ got just two out of the loo.
"Then what do they want? was
asked. They want nothing, and are
mostly hoboes, as nearly all the good
men have gone TO work. When | OIL
fer them 50 day, they want 50, ana
If offered them 50 they would want
81. Some ask if the potatoes are
large or small, and one fellow SAID
he would work If they brought the
spuds to the city park and put them
in pile where he could get them
easily" How do they live?" "Oh.
they forage tomatoes, spuds, onions,
cabbage and anything they can get
hold of and cook them hobo fashion
on the outskirts of town. Where
do they sleep?" In haystacks, box
cars and barns. They are orderly in
day time but are somewhat OF
menace at night, and there have been
atrocities in past years. The Off
GERS are diligent and will probably
make a roundup in day or two.
and all who do not leave town in
few hours will be vagged for thirty
days and put TO work on the streets.
That was the statement OF one la
Dor agent, and most of the older
residents know it to be true. All
citizens will no doubt welcome the
roundup. The labor agent suggest
ed that forty or fifty OF them be kept
in the lookup for ''cleanins-up day.

THE POTATO YIELD
LARGER THAN EVER
so SAYS THE STATE SPECIALIST.
Most Eastern States Have Poor Crop
Prices should BE Good.

Prof. +. Il. Bennett, state potato
specialist, writes from Fort Collins
giving his observations on the pres
ent spud crop. He says there VIII
be a mammoth yield and the qualitS
above the average. He claims the
recent frost was a benefit to the
tuber, as it stopped the growth OF
the vine and allows the spud to ma
ture in the ground before being dug.
He estimates the output OF TINS dis-
trict at some 1900 cars and the
value of the state crop at S6,Ooo,o'o'
which is thirty per cent. more than
last year.
In the Greeley district, which is
now the largest potato producing
section west of the Mississippi, the
development of vine has been greater
than ever before. Some complaint mas
been made of a poor set OF tubers'
but investigation of this condition oy
Mr.. Bennett has shown this TO be 'or
the most part groundless.
He SAYS that while the increase at
Greeley is considerable, the large IN
crease OF the Colorado crop over pre-
vious wears will come from the noun
tain districts of the state.
He also states that the increase
in production of potatoes in Colorado
need not frighten the growers INTO
selling at a low price. Within the
past few days the Colorado Expert
ment station has received letters
from Maine, Connecticut, New York
PENNSYLVANIA, Ohio, Michigan, Wis
consin. Minnesota, Iowa, Indiana, IL
linois, Utah, Idaho, Washington ana
Oregon concerning the potato crop
in these states. All OF them except
Maine and Minnesota report mark
ed shortage in crop. owing to adverse
weather conditions. Some OF these |
as low as so per cent. of a
crop. and several of them only SO to
70 per cent. of crop.

Old HOrseshOes Market

One of the constantly growing i'm
ports into the Chinese province of
Shantung through the port of Tsing-
tau is old horseshoes- Vice Consul Voll-
mer writes concerning this:
One steamer alone in November
brought 800 tons Of this scrap iron
from Hamburg The market for these
wornout shoes seems to be almost with
out limit Chinese iron dealers buy
the horseshoes and sell them to knife
and tool manufacturers all over the
province. 1t is claimed by the Chinese
that the temper of this class of iron
makes it the best obtainable for knives
and cutlery and also good for other
tools. The reason ascribed for this is
that the constant beating the shoes
have received under the feet of horses
has given them peculiar temper abso-
lutely unobtainable in any other way
and that tools made from them are su-
perior to all others.
During the year 1906 old iron, prin-
cipally in the form of horseshoes, to the
extent of 46,55S piculs (picul EQUALS

Mexico's Wheat Supply

Writing from Saltillo. Consul Thomas
W. Voetter says that on account of the
poor Mexican wheat crop harvested In
1907 about all the wheat raised has
now been ground and the mills will
shut down. The supply of flour on
hand is not sufficient to last until the
new crop is harvested. and millers here
are desirous that the federal govern
ment should reduce or take off COM
pletely the import duties on wheat, but
so far as known no concerted effort has
been made to secure this action. One
of the mills in Saltillo has for several
months past been grinding wheat from
the Argentine republic. which was inn
ported at the period when the govern
ment last reduced the import duties on

Deen SUCCESSFUL.
Germany's annual potato crop for the
past seven years has averaged 10000
600 tons. The supply was, and still is.
considerably in excess of both house
hold and Industrial demand. New chan
nels had to be found to profitably use
up the surplus and. If possible, to save
a portion of the 10 per cent of the total
crop which annually goes to waste
through the lack of proper winter stor-
age and decay. During 1901 the Ger
man association of alcohol msnufactur-
ers, the largest Industrial consumers
of potatoes, took this task upon them
selves and organized a branch to their
association to be known as the German
potato dryers association, to be devoted
to the question of using dried pota-
toes in various forms for stock feed
To increase general interest in this
question. the alcohol association sue
ceeded in raising from interested
sources, including two subscriptions
from the government, the sum of
90, 900 marks (s7.14O) to be distributed
as prizes for the best methods of re-
ducing potatoes TO a durable stock feed
The conditions were that the total cost
of drying 100 pounds Of potatoes should
not exceed cents, Including fuel, Ia
Dor, interest and depreciation; the last
two items on basis or 100 working 9
days per year, and that large plants
should have minimum capacity of 10
tons of raw potatoes in IL hours; small
plants 2 IL tons in the same time.
Some 40 entries were made, OF which
% failed to answer the requirements.
1t was noted that the systems using
fuel gas for drying purposes were op-
Grated at less expense than those us
ing steam The present cost of pro-
ducing 100 pounds of potato fake is
from to 10 cents with gas and from
IL to 20 cents with steam These fig-
ures could not be applied to American
conditions on account of wages. which
would be from 200 to s00tper cent more
than are paid here
