WOULD LIFT EMBARGO.

In making public the extension Of
the embargo against foreign potatoes,
which was established originally in
September of last year, the department
made this statement:
"As soon as any country or district
can be shown to be free from potato
disease, the quarantine will be lifted,
and potatoes will be admitted under
proper regulation and inspection. 1t
is possible that, in the case of certain
provinces in Canada, and certain
countries and districts in Europe, the
absolute quarantine can be lifted in
time to allow the later movement of
the present years crop under regula-
ton and inspection"
An attempt is made by the depart
ment to allay suspicion that its order,
eliminating competition, will result in
higher prices, for the statement says:
"The present potato excitement ap-
parently is due to a misinterpretation
of the yield of this year. The statis-
tician of this department estimates that
the yield of this year is 331, ,525, 900
bushels, which is considerably above
the 10-year average, and exceeds the
annual food and planting consumption
of the potato in the United States. The
price of potatoes in centers of origin is
still reasonable or low, and the problem
seems to be one of distribution.
"The testimony from all parts of the
country, as given at last Thursdays
hearing, was that no shortage exists at
present above usual market demands,
but that the supply in farmers hands
is very large. Farmers as well as deal
ers denied the charge that spectators
had acquired control of the potato crop.
Farm prices have been low for some
weeks.
1.-THE total importations from foreign
countries during the six years prior to
the quarantine were only l.27 per cent
of the total consumption. Imports
varied from l77,OOO bushels in 1906 to
100000 bushels in 1911, year of
short American production due to
drouth, when the crop was estimated
at over $4,000, 900 bushels less than the
estimate for 1913"
ROUTED THROUGH CANADA.
1t is claimed by representatives of
the department of agriculture that ship
ments of potatoes from quarantined
countries in Europe have been made to
the United States by routing them
through Canada.
Concerning the danger of the pow
dery scab the federal horticultural
board finds:
THE disease is fully as injurious as
the potato scab, which reduces the
value of the affected potato in the
American market three-fourths.
"No means of control are known,
whereas the potato scab is controllable.
"Powdery scab affects the soil for an
indefinite time, and may be introduced
by the use of diseased seed potsnn:
and may be transmitted by con-
ed sacks or other containers
waste used as fertilizer.
"It has invaded large pq
eastern Canada from 4,

Mason City, Aug. "a 2-year-old
baby girl here underwent . remarkable
operation. Her right lung cavity was
opened and half the kernel Of large
sized peanut removed.
The babe ~ the daughter Of Mr.. and
Mrs. Larson. of st. Ansgar. A short
time ago It was attacked by violent
paroxysms Of choking and the cause
was difficult to pursue. diagnosis
at the Park hospital revealed the ma
ture OF the Infants condition and the
operation was imperative.
The wounds were closed and seem
ingly the little one has a chance for re-
covery. The operation is unusual In
many ways. Ordinarily the result OF
the presence Of the foreign substance
in the trac1lia OF SO young child would
cause immediate choking and death
The danger now threatening Is that OF
septic pneumonia The peanut meat
carries impurities and infection. and
nothing can be determined as to the
extent Of this.

The law will be attacked on the
