4 Few Spuds.

The farmers around Olathe are get
ting some yields of spuds this year
which would make the average eastern
er gaze in wonderment With the
prices which have prevailed up to this
time the potato land is producing a
revenue which stamps old King Spud
as great bread winner. Among..the
returns from early spuds reported this
year are the following:
Amos Ross. who is farming part of
the F. W. Shields. place on Ash mesa
sold the crop from 2i2 acres for
e345 80.
Jas. E. Foster sold from 8 acres of
his river bottom ranch 444 sacks, which
brought approximately $3.50.
Z Ralph Miller, who has a ranch on
Coal Greek, sold four carloads from
acres, which brought him 1915. Mr..
Miller has 80 acres in potatoes this
year.
These are merely samples of the re-
turns received and scores of growers
throughout this section are receiving
returns at least as large as in the in

With North Delta's population Delta

closely and with its mesa population
close around will undoubtedly reach

no reason to doubt but the city will

Della Must Reuiue
Her Canning Industry.

Growers are anxious that Delta should
have and maintain in active operation
a canning factory.
There is no doubt but Delta shoud
possess such an institution. or that it
could do so at profit. Further, it has
much of the required equipment in
place and no large amount of capital
would be required.
Tomatoes and other material are
grown or would be grown to supply it.
In evidence of this one citizen brought
in large tomatoes from Garnet mesa
this week which grew from So to 102 to
the vine. He states that he will have
from two to three tons on an eighth of
an acre. For the picking department
cucumbers could be grown in abundance
and the supply of fallen or thinned
apples would be ample to manufacture
vinegar from in any quantity desired.
Such institutions pay at all places
where they are properly handled and
operated. Delta county has number
and they are all reported as making
money. A good canning factory at
Delta would not only make money for
the man or company operating it. but
would help to supply needed market
for the product it would use.
There are doubtless people who are
looking for just such field and the
publishing of this article is in the hope
that their attention may be attracted
to Delta.

Washington, D. c., Nov. 20.-Last
bulletin gave forecasts of disturbance
to cross continent % to 81, warm
wave 90 to 90, cool wave q to 80.
This was expected to bring high
temperature wave that will move
swiftly eastward and be followed by
a cold wave and freezing weather in
northern sections and a cool wave in
the south. That cold wave and cool
wave will bring lower temperatures
than will again occur for some days
to come, and will be followed by a
long period Of unusually warm wealth
err
Unusually severe winter storms will
accompany that disturbance and as
cannot now point out on what part of
the continent these will be most Sc
we're the best advice ] can give is for
all to prepare. The severe storm forces
will cluster around the five days Nov
% to 2T. On 81 the earth will pass
Immediately between the sun and the
moon. This is called the eclipse node.
Mars, Saturn and Mercury will be in
magnetic contact with the earth and
the moon at a position long known to
the old tars that manage sailing ships
as one of the surest causes of great
storms Those who study earthquakes
say that when the moon is at new or
full and is at the same time at its
node and perieee earthquakes often
occur. Watch the weather Nov % to
81.
Next disturbance will reach Pacific
coast about 80, cross Pacific slope by
close of 80. great central valleys Dec.
/ to 8, eastern states and provinces 4.
Warm wave will cross Pacific slope
about 20, great central valleys Dec 1,
eastern states and provinces 3. Cool
wave will cross Pacific slope about
Dec. 2. great central valleys 4, east
err states and provinces about g.
The most interesting feature of this
disturbance will be the great rise in
temperatures it will bring aud con
tinuous warm weather that will follow,
covering nearly all the first half of
December.
1t will be cold enough about Christ
mas time but the month will average
warm, causing rank
growth of winter wheat. and other
winter grains. These winter grains
are now in good condition and will
probably remain so to the end of De-
cember starting into January with a
heavy growth.

FRESH AIR IN BEDROOMS.

The department of education of the
state board of control has issued bull
letin this week in which it cautions the
people not to overdo the preparations
for protecting their houses from the
cold during the approaching winter
For one thing. the bulletin says, storm
windows should not be resorted to, at
least on the sleeping apartments.
Whether it is hinged at the top, and
pushes out from the bottom or has a
valve in the bottom of the frame for
the ventilation of rooms. the storm
window is declared to be positively
harmful and should not be tolerated
On bedrooms.
Persons who are fearful of exposing
their children to colds are advised
that they should lower the upper sash
of the window lacking piece of cheese
cloth to the window frame above
and bringing it down and lacking it to
the top Of the window sash. When
the window is lowered this draws the
screen curtain tight and allows the air
to percolate, avoiding drafts. The
bulletin declares that the screen win
dows will prove factor in the pre-
vention of colds, sore throat, tonsilitis,
catarrh and other intiammations Of
the respiratory tract, not only in chill
dren but in adults as well.

RAILROADS AND OTHER ROADS.

The Saturday Evening Post presents
the good roads question in forcible
manner by drawing a comparison be-
tween the methods employed in i'm
proving the public roads and the rail
roads. In length the public roads of
( the United States exceed the railroads
as nine to one, its says, but to keep
the railroads in repair about fourteen
hundred dollars mile is spent year
1y, and on the public roads, at last ac-
count, thirty-seyen dollars a mile. For
each inhabitant one dollar year is
spent to repair public roads and four
dollars year to repair railroads
each inhabitant having nine times as
much public road as railroad.
The Post sees little difference in the
Iproblem as it affects the public and the
railroads. Hartman is pointed to as
man who went in for a good roads
movement and made it pay He built
UP a roadway that would carry the
heaviest load with the least friction.

asserts, hardly any amount of money
