NORTH SIDE NEWS
Kaw Valley Farmers Will
Plant Big Potato Acreage.
COnweIPs Report on bikes in
Eastern Flood District.

| planting a. great many acres of pota-
toes and the men who watch the po-
tato markets are saying that there will
be a big demand for Kaw valley po-
tatoes this fall. On account of the
floods of the Ohio valley, and the 9TH
er eastern states the Kansas potatoes
will find a ready market in the east
this fall. In years before this the
Kansas potatoes have been shipped
west and came into competition with
potatoes from California and Colorado.
The flooded crops of the east will
come on the market about forty days
later than the crops here and if the
Kansas farmers would plant potatoes,
and when the harvest came use care
in sacking and sorting them, there
should be no reason why potatoes
could not be one of the most profita BILE
of crops.
Report on Ohio bikes.
Frank R. Conwell who was COM
missioned by the North side drainage
board to look into the flood situation
on his trip east, has returned and re-
ports that the bikes there are made
very much as they are here and that
IN the cities cement wall is built in
side the dixie. A great many of the
bikes are used as public highways and
are macadamized. At the town of
Celina, Ohio, there is large reservoir,
comprising 1900 acres and the dam
age in some of the towns was due to
the breaking of similar reservoirs. At
no place, where Mr.. Conwell inquired,
did the bikes break. The water went
over the top of them.
