tatoes from the farmers in this section
of the United States. The North Da-
kota potatoes" said he to The Forum,
have a big reputation in our state, and
they command a little better prices
than those from other states. When
we read the newspape accounts in the
late fall to the effect that the potato
crop of this section was about all de-
stroyed, we expected to find things in
a bad way out here, but the reverse
was the case. We found the crop was
almost equal to that of last year, and
the product of an excellent quality. 1t
is true that there were some losses
from rot, but these did not amount to
much and I am satisfied that there
will be no potato famine this year at
least, and there will be enough to tide
over until mex fall, when the new po-
tatoes begin to make their appearance"
