The Potato Yield and Prices.

Wheeler, Wis, Oct Is, 1913.
Editor Tribune In your issue of this
week / found an article regarding the
price and immense yield Of potatoes in
northern Wisconsin, Minnesota and the
D3kotas.
In reply will say that you must have
been misinformed, for little investiga-
ton shows US the crop IN the first place
is one-third less than other years, and
then the early freezing has in many
cases destroyed one-tenth Of the yield,
thus bringing about great shortage
in the supply.
Farmers have, up to this time, been
receiving from 40c to 47c per bushel,
delivered at the potato warehouse. Then
there is the sorting, sacking and freight
expenses to be added, which amount
to about l5c per bushel, thus bringing
potatoes for which the farmer gets 45c
up to Coo to the commission man who
must have profit for his labor This
is relative only to the average potato.
The select grades bring from soc to 60c
per bushel. and then comes the COM
mission mans toll
Hoping this will show that a mistake
has been made and correction will fol-
low, remain

Louis w. Roney was acquitted of murder
here today in the criminal court after
the jury had been out II hours. He was
tried for the murder of Louie Smith on
the streets of Montgomery several months
ago. The latter was only short time
before his death tried and acquitted of
a similar charge in connection with the
death Of w. Brooks Fuller.
In rendering the verdict Of acquittal,
the jury sustained the contention Of the
defendant that he shot Smith in self
defense. in spite OF the fact that the
prosecution fought for a death penalty
on the ground that the dead man was
shot through the back.
