Warming that the United States
hereafter must produce enough po-
tatoes to supply the home consump-
tion or account of most sources OF
foreign imports being closed by a
plant disease, quar- antine was issued
few days agc by the department
of agriculture. In a statement ii
is pointed out that Germany has

that tie United States might well
look TO that country in its efforts tu

with our great resources. says
the department, ''it should be en-
tirely unnecessary for US to import
potatoes, but unless fhe production
is increased and maintained, years
of shortage may recur and serious
condition arise
The potato in Germany, 1t is said
occupies more important place
than in the United States. The
area there planted in potatoes is
e,165, 900 acres, against 3,5&.000
acres here. The average tofM yield
is 1,653.4O3, 900 bushels, sor 202 5
bushels per acre against 34s ,5S7 400
bushels or &C., 2 bushels per acres in
the United States.
If the States OF Maine, New Y Yprk
Michigan, Wisconsin, and Minnesota
alone were to plant 12.5 percent. of
their arabic land in potatoes, as
Germany does, and secure. an equiv
alent yield, it is said. the product
would amt to l ,558. .944, 90 bushels
four and one-half times our present

At the present rate of consumption
of potatoes in the United States,
which is a little less than 3 bushels
per capita, the needs Of tn e
entire country could be supplied
from anyone f the above NAMED
states, and leave a surplus unused
where all the states combined have
several times failed to produce
enough to supply the domestic con-
sumption and in such years large

Married Women
Workers Tend To
Keep Wages Down

That married women working in
the female Industries of this state,
and living with their husbands, tend
to create low wages, because they
can afford to work for lower wages
than they could afford to do if they
had to support themselves, is con-
tanned in the report of Miss Caroline
]. Gleason, temporary secretary of
the minimum wage commission,
which she is. now preparing on in
dustrial conditions. She declares
that the condition is to be seriously
considered. Miss Gleason is perma-
nent secretary of the Oregon COM
mission.
The report shows that in the man
ufacturing industries, IL per cent of
the women employed in this state
are married. In the mercantile in
dustry 13 per cent are married, while
in the laundries fully one-third are
married.
That the percentage of the mar
ried women increase with the size of
the cities in which they are employ
ed is indicated by the following fig
ures: In Everett, 9.6 per cent; in
Bellingham and Tacoma, 11.9 per
cent; in Spokane, 1872 per cent, and
in Seattle, 26.1 per cent.
The idea that girls and women
work merely for pin money, says
the report, is another thing that
causes employers to place a low
wage scale, and this idea is devel-
oped out of the fact that many of
the women employed live at home
and hence do not support themselves
completely. This feature, thinks
Miss Gleason, works great hard
ship on the women or girls who are
..adrift," living away from home and
earning their entire support.
The report shows that from one
fifth in the smaller cities to- nearly
one-half in the larger cities are
aC1ift.
Referring to the effect of low wag-
es upon the morals of women, Miss
Gleason declares it to be her opin-
ion that women do not fall because
of the immediate need "for square
meal" but their doleful outlook on
life, dut to their scanty living, their
weakened physical condition and
their loss of mental poise, are the
direct causes of moral failure on the
part of women who fall.

Fortunes Made
In Exporting
Chinese Eggs

1t is stated on good authority that
Chinese eggs cost but cents per
dozen to land at Pacific coast ports
at this time and that huge fortunes
have been made by butter specul-
ator who has stationed an agent in
China for the sole purpose of secur-
ing supplies for the coast markets,
says the Portland Journal
1T is stated that one Butte house
made 100000 on last weeks ship
ment of eggs from China alone and
shipments have been coming forward
for number Of weeks.
According to information made
public today these eggs cost 6 cents
a dozen in China, with a freight rate
of one-half cent~a Dozen. 1t is fig
ured that it cost one and one half
cent a dozen to handle the supplies
therefore making the total landed
cost here cents a dozen.
The following special report of the
Chinese egg situation is made by
United States Vice Consul A. Krisel,
at Swatow;
'sSwatow has long been a leading
port of China for exporting fresh
eggs being in 1912, the fifth port
in the amount exported, when Swa-
tow shipped 26,716,365 eggs valued
at $115.O63 Gu. s. Currency, all
to Hongkong and Singapore. There
is no special season for egg produc-
ton in this district, but after the
two rice harvests in June-July and
October-N November, when chickens
are allowed on paddy fields, eggs are
more abundant and larger. Like
most native industries of China,
there are no poultrymen in the dis
trict who make it their vocation to
produce eggs.
"All eggs are raised by the women
folks in small quantities. Dealers of
eggs in the interior purchase from
house to house, bringing the eggs
to the nearest large mraket town,
where they are assembled and car
ried down to Swatow and sold to the
exporters. The eggs are not packed
as they are in America, but simply
placed in bamboo baskets for ship
ment. The price in the interior is
about 5 q cents and in Swatow Z n
cents per dozen. In summer, when
the expectation Is scarcely feasible.
the price is lower.
Ducks eggs are raised on Z much
greater scale. There are large
duck farms where children are ON

804 Persons Draws
Pensions From State

Under the wnrkmen's compression
law, monthly pensions are at the
present time being paid to 804 per-
sons. The total amount paid in pen-
sions last month was $8.292. Sc.
Pensions were paid to 754 persons
on account of the death of the bread
winner of the family. In this list
were included lat parents of work
men; two grandparents; 215 widows:
and 800 children.
The department is also paying
pensions to 10 persons who have sus-
tanned permanent disabilities. these
10 having 81 others dependent up
on them.
By far the lar est proportion Of
the states pensioners, Il total of 586
live in the state of Washington.
However, lis live other states.
80 in various European countries, 16
in Canada anu n Japan.
Although the NUMBER of the state's S
pensioners increase steadily, there
is no fear that this will lead to any
financial Inconvenience in the future
As soon as pension is allowed the
industrial insurance commission
places in a reserve fund. at an inter-
est, an amount sufficient, with the
interest to guarantee payment of
the pension during the life of the
pensoner,
Thus, as the commission rlaces it,
The industries of today take care
of the accidents Of today" leaving
no liability for the future. There
is nearly 81 ,O00QOo in the reserve
fund now to meet these pensions.
