FARMERS ORGANIZATION MET
The Meeting held Saturday last Family
Well Attended.

|
sociation held in the room over
the postof6ce Saturday last was
fairly we'll attended.
Considerable discussion was en-
tered into by the members as to
crop rotation, hay, corn and pota-
toes and other matters tor the
furthering of the agricultural II :
terests of this locality,
The following paper on pota-
toes was read by the President,
w, Fl. Adams, who has. for a
number of years, kept accurate
notes as to prices, crops and
weather conditions in this locality.
Conference.-The field offers
such an inducement to farmers at
the present time as the cultlva-
ton of potatoes, The demand
for potatoes exceeds the produc
ton.
Any crop not equal to the de-
mand is an excellent one to tie
too.
The total acreage devoted to
potato culture in the United States
is trifing compared with the acre
age of some other less profitable
crop; In view Of the country's
population and its needs the acre
age is very small. There has
been little increase the past fifteen
years. In 1892 the total area
devoted to potatoes was, in round
numbers 2. 100000 acres, in 1907,
3 900 600 acres. The acreage in
1905 was PRACTICAL the same as in
1895. AS far back as 1889 our
potato acreage was over two mil
lion acres and it was not until
1906 that it passed the three mil
lion mark. During that interval
the acreage of oats was doubled
and barley increased FIVE told.
Official figures on crop values in
dictate that the potato is valuable
crop.
Average revenue per acre in
Illinois in 1907 was $500 and in
the United States as whole S59;
The same year oats in Illinois
brought $685.; Kansas 50, 81; in
the United States SIo.I2 per acre.
1t is undoubtedly revelation to
many to learn that the potato
crop of the United States is un-
equal to the demand. This one
statement alone should set you 10
thinking along lines that lead to
increased acreage.
The imports of potatoes into
this country from 1902 to 1906 in
elusive amounted to 13.3Io.oo7
bushels, in 1902 7.656.162 bushels
were imported and in 1926 1.948.
100 bushels. Our friends across
the sea appreciate far more than
do we the importance and value
of this essential crop and annual
!y produce more than we do at
home.
Away back in the COS the aver
age price of potatoes was 50 cents
per bushel; in the Sos the lowest
price was 1914 cents and the high
est OF cents, in 1890 the average
price per bushel was 1873 cents;
three years following 1912 3
prices averaged from 80 cents to
Ct cents per bushel; in 1894 the
price went up to S1,oo per bushel;
in 1896 the average price was II
cents per bushel; 1895 to 1900 the
average price was az cents per
bushel; in 1900 the price went up
to $Ioo; 1901 70 cents per bushel;
1905 81 cents; in 1906 81 cents
per bushel; 1907 the average price
per b.lshel was 90 cents; the aver
age price of the 1908 crop at the
present time can not be estimated.

Washington, D. c., Feb. 5.-When
Mr.. Taft becomes president he will
ride in an automobile furnished by
the government. That question was
settled by the adoption of the report
OF the conferees on the urgent def
cheney bill, which carries an item of
$12 600 for the purchase, care and
maintenance of automobiles for the
use of the president"
President Roosevelt vetoed the bill
providing for the thirteenth and sub
sequent decennial censuses, on the
ground that it permitted agents of
the census bureau to be appointed by
the spoils system rather than for
merit. He urged strict civil serv-
ice rule for the appointment of clerks
and other employees. With practi-
cally no debate, the message of the
president was referred to a commit
tee for appropriate action.

NO MEDICINE,

Gut Change of Food Gave Relief
Many persons are learning that
drugs are not the thing to rebuild
worn-out nerves, but proper food is
required
There is Il certain element in the
cereals. wheat, barley, etc. which is
grown there by nature for food to
brain and nerve tissue This is the
phosphate of potash. of which Grape
Nuts food contains large proportion.
In making this food all the food ele-
ments in the two cereals, wheat and
barley. are retained That is why so
many heretofore nervous and rundown
people find in Grape-Nuts a true nerve
and brain food.
Il can say that Grape Nuts food has
done much for me as nerve renewer,

Il have recommended it to friends
