to The Forum. There are several new
buildings going up and the town is
putting on some life. The farmers

cold storage reached its greatest

burdensome that a few commission

PLANT POTATOES
ADVICE OF &. N.
D. {. WILLARD, DEVELOPMENT
AGENT, ISSUES OPEN LETTER
URGING IMPORTANCE OF POTA-
TO GROWING IN NORTHWEST
THIS YEAR.

The following open letter was writ
ten by D. E. Willard, development
agent for the Great Northern railroad
and formerly a member of the faculty
of the North Dakota Agricultural col
lege:
The potato crop is an important as
set to the northwest. There is danger
that great loss may ensue from failure
10 give ope attention to the man
agement of the crop.
The returns from the crop of 1912
have not been highly satisfactory, but
this should not occasion undue alarm.
Because the price of potatoes in 1912
was low. it does not follow that the
price will be low in 1913. There is
just as much ground for anticipating
that the price in 1913 will be high as
there was%fn 1912 for expecting it to
be low. In the spring of 1912 seed was
high. Everybody wanted to buy. A
large acreage was planted and the
yield was unusually good in practically
all potato districts. 1t is not common
that all potato growing districts have
a large yield. In this respect 1912 was
unusual.
Our advice to potato growers is to
plant the acreage that can be properly
taken care Of and plant about this
acreage every year. The farmer who
sticks to the crop year after e and
systematically c%ultivates his field, Sc
lectS his seed with care. and then con-
scientiously sorts m grades his
stock before shipping, may reasonably
expect to succeed in the potato indus
try.
Our northwestern grown potatoes are
in demand, but to hold the advantage
we nave gained it will be necessary to
use some diligence and care in hand
ling the crop in all stages, from the
selection Of the seed until the crop is
finally marketed. ,@
In the fall of 1912, Eugene H. Grub,
the noted potato specialist, visited the
northwest, and in company with a
party Of Northern Pacific officials Wis
tied some Of the most important pota-
to growing districts. Prof. A. r. Kohl
er, potato expert at the Minnesota
State Agricultural college, J. A. WYE
of the st. Paul Dispatch, L. J. Brick
er, general immigration agent of the
Northern Pacific. and the writer &C
companied Mr.. Grub on a trip of in
v~estigation. Mr.. Grubb was enthusi-
astic over the quality of our soil for
potato growing. He said he had never
seen finer soil for potatoes. There is
none better suited to the growing of
splendid, mealy, high quality potatoes
in the world, he said with emphasis.
This much was very gratifying. But
Mr.. Grubb said further that he had al
most never seen such wretched farm
ing. Such neglect Of the common re-
q~uirements of good cultivation'and seed
selection he said he had seldom seen.
The Indifferent methods, or lack OF
method, of grading and preparing for
market on the part of growers also
were a matter of great surprise to him.

DIR. Le1nieux who is in charge
makes the statement that he believes
that there are $500 incipient cases of
tuberculosis in North Dakota,
e. If these people whose cases are just
starting, were given the proper treat
ment at once-i. e. plenty of fresh
air, simple nourishing food and rest
it is possible hat a very large per-
gcentage of them could be saved, but

are not brought to the attention of
the physicians until the victim is too
Ear gone to be helped.
I'll The doctor also points out the folly
of people of the north going south in
1.-the attempt to get cured. People used
TO the bracing atmosphere Of the
north, often go more quickly in the
Fsouth than if they had remained
north.
The need for more buildings and
more equipment at Dunseith is
emphasized. 1t seems a pity that a
state with the wealth Of North Da-
kota, should turn a single sufferer
Efrom this malady, away from this
sanitarium Of hope, because Of a lack
OF means to- care for him.

VALUATION OF RAILROADS.

The lack of this information has

! INVESTIGATING COLD STORAGE

An elaborate investigation of the
effect Of cold storage on prices has
just been completed and made public
| by the department Of agriculture. A
) mass Of data. upon the subject has
been accumulated which made both
by the cold storage interests and their
] critics.
: Five kinds of food stuffs were con-
sidered-butter, eggs, beef, mutton
pork. The year 1911 was used in
computing the wholesale value of the
cold storage, thirteen cities being in
, Guided in the butter figures and twelve
for eggs, the former being valued at
$40, 000, 600 and the latter at $64, O00.-
600.
For purposes of comparison three
periods have been considered, 1880 to
1898, when cold storage was hardly a
factor; 1893 to 1902, during which
time the business was slowly develop
ing; 1902 to 1911, when the system of
preserving commodities was in good
working order.
r SS8lt Is SUFFICIENT TO consider OIly eggs
of which the months Of the greatest
production are March, April and MAY.
Fsor the first named month ia Der
cent of the crop is produced, and in
the first of the three periods named
above 12.5 per cent of the annual crop,
was marketed, 1874 per cent during
the second period and 1878 per cen
after cold storage had been perfected
April yields 1874 of the annual pro-
duction, while 16.S per cent goes into
storage; May produces 1873 per cent
and stores 1853 per cent. November,
the month Of smallest production
furnishes 81 per cent OF the annual
crop; during the first period II pei
cent was marketed, SIS in the second
and 80 in the last.
January and December are the
months of the highest prices for eggs
lii all three periods. Thirty years age
the January prices were 1919 pei
cent of the average annual price. and
1911. 12.6 per cent, which might indf-
cate that cold storage had held down
