ENORMOUS INCREASE
in TUBER PRODUCTION

An official statement from Director
Duraud Of the Census Bureau gives
the preliminary statistics of the potato
crop of the United States, collected
during the thirteenth decennial census.
The statistics cover acreage, produc-
tion, and value for the crop year 1909.
as compared with 1899 They are
particularly interesting in that they
show, by comparison with other re-
ports that the potato crop IS the only
important food crop in the United
States which has been increasing
faster tan the population of the
country.
Incidentally it may be remarked that
potatoes are at tins time being import
ed. chiefly through New York aud
e iedy from Ireland The demand for
potatoes all over the world is in excess
of the supply, and wholesalers are
quoting Maine potatoes at So. 90 sack,
a price which is about double that
quoted year ago. They say that
the price has been rising since early
fall and that it will probably reach
$4.00 sack by February next.

SAVED EIGHN-NINE LIVES
New York Pilot Holds tho Record for
Resculno Persons From
Drowning.

The recent rescue by Capt. Irving
P. Grace, pilot Of the United States
tug Vigilance, of Thomas Owen Of
1157 Third avenue from the Harlem
river, brings to light the remarkable
life saving record Of the Grace fam
lily.
This is the t~hirty-sixth rescue to
the credit Of young Captain Grace.
But the record pales beside that of
his father, Capt. Patrick Grace of
the tug Refuge, who was recently
presented by the Life Savers associ-
alton of New York with a medal and
huge flag having 80 stars-one for
each life saved during 81 years in
the state employment. He is now
seventyseven years old, but is still
at his post, rain, snow or shine.
Old Captain Patrick is not by pro-
fession q life saver. That is an in
cidental job. His real work is as
pilot Of the tiny tug Refuge, which
daily plies between East One hun
dred and Twenty-fifth street and
Randall's island, carrying freight,
prisoners and passengers to and
from the house of refuge. Oven
100000 times has the captain pilot
ed his craft from Manhattan, since
he first assumed command, and it il
estimated that several million pas.
sengers have been ferried across dur.
ing the period Of his service.-New
