While every business man in jerome
is urgently invited to affiliate with the

strict the membership to business men
alone, but the doors will be thrown open
TO all who have the interests OF this com

The time has arrived when we can no

vision fight is AN example OF how united
~ our citizens can pull together when
matters affecting their interests are AT

Good Advice.

this fall. A. is well known, Mr.. Galen-

are probably the heaviest potato raisers
on the tract. The former has made a
close study Of the potato market, and
while indications point to an average
crop throughout the east, he believes the

iiculty in finding a market for their pro-
duet, il they will Use proper judgment in
preparing the same for market.
Mr.. Galentine has always figured that
the best was zone too good, and that a
prime article would always sell, and he
advises a close sorting Tor the eastern
market with the result that the tubers
will he Of uniform size, a condition much
desired by particular buyers. While this
will materially increase the price OF the
product hc believes the producer will he
well repaid Tor the additional expense.
The suggestion is well worthy al consid-
