SAYS POTATOES
MAY DISAPPEAR
Expert Thinks That Radical
Changes Will Have to
Be Made.

Eugene II. Grubb, potato expert, says
that the entire country will within a
few years be practically without pota-
toes, providing radical changes are not
made in the present methods of their
cultivation.
Mr.. Grubb has visited many foreign
countries as a potato expert in behalf
Of the United States government and
is generally accepted as authority on
the question of potato culture.
He SAYS there is an annual decrease
of 50 per cent in the crop throughout
the states. the reason being the farm
ers' neglect in not allowing the soil
to crest once in while, - and the fail
ure TO remedy the yearly disease which
is becoming alarmingly more preva-
lent.
Five years ago 10000 varieties Of po-
tatoes were grown in the United States,
and, through the government ehmina-
ton process, there will be only about
1000 varieties in one year from now,
10000 varieties having already been
eliminated, The United States govern
ment has appointed Mr.. Grubb special
representative TO an agricultural con-
gross at Rome next May. he already
holding a position as potato expert for
the Hartman lines.
Mr Grubb, who has been in Salt
Lake for a short time, left for Cali
fornia last night. with the expectation
of returning in the near future.

LOW PAY CAUSES TWO

TWO nrenien OF the first grade yester-

are believed to be only the first OF sew
eral that will be Forthcoming because
OF the attitude OF the commissioners TO-
ward the salary increase for the ire
men. The dissatisfaction is largely
among the flrst-grade firemen who have
been with the department Tor scVeral
years. They take the position tnat the
present salary is scarcely living wage,
while the Importance OF the duties, the
hazards taken and the constant duty
OF the firemen more than JUSTLY the
commission in granting the increase. >, y
Unless some action is taken by the

and his recomm mendations are seconded
by Chief Bywater
The proposed increase in the pay Tor
the firemen has the Endorsement OF nearly
all OF the prominent business men ana
heavy taxpayers of the city, who hold
that AZ is the poorest kind Of economy
for the commission to curtail eXpendi-
lures at the expense OF the fire protection
of the city, They point TO the fact that
the lives OF the people and the property
OF the city are largely dependent upon
tie efficiency of the nrcmen and that
the tendency should be to encourage
rather than discourage this efficiency.
