Potatoes.

The increased demand from the
United States for fOOdStuffS vii.
have a tendency to increase the
prize throughout the world. Uncle
Sam raises most OF what he needs
for his big family, but in late
years his establishment has grown
i'm numbers until he must 90 out
into the markets of the world for
more and more Of the articles
which his tamily consumes. lie is
importing more food now than he
was ten years ago, yes double the
amount.
Increased population calls for
more food. In the case Of bananas,
almonds, cOcOanuts, raisinS and
oranges, some Of which are nOl
raised here at ali, and others only
in limited areas, It is natural that
there should be an increase of i'm
ports, but this does not explain
the heavy imports of potatoes, peas
and beans. These vegetables can
be raised almost anywhere in
America and there are enough va
cant lots in almost any city to
raise az ample potato supply fOt
the city's entire population.
Something is wrong, therefore
when we import nearly $50, 900, 600
worth in IA year and pay a high
price for them. Uncle Sans es-
adjustment is not we'll managed
when he pays heavily for that
which he can raise himself. In
the past years we have had an over
supply of potatoes. They have
at times been a drudge on the
market and we have exported them
even to Ireland. All this is
changed and the balance Of the
potato trade is heavily against us.
it seems to be up to Uncle Sam to
pay more attention to his potato
industry.
