NORTH DAKOTA POTATO
DAY At FRISCO FAIR

North Dakota, through the in
itiative and activity of one Of her
progressive cities, is to have an
added advertising feature ct the
Panama-Pacific Fair at San Fran
cisco. Larimore, North Dakota.
has asked. and has been granted
by the officials of the Big Fair. a
special North Dakota Potato Day,
When enough Big North Dakota
Potatoes will be furnished free bv
Larimore to feed the crowds at
the Big Show. Larimore and
Grand Forks county are great
producers of the Great Big
Spuds' and the genial E. L. Rich
ter, President Of the North Dako-
ia Editorial Association, who runs
the Larimore Pioneer, is always
TO the front in publicity matters.
hence, NORTH DAKOTA POTATO
DAY. The Great Northern Railway
is arranging to transport the po-
tatoes by special service, and the
same line will furni n a chef to
superintend the preparing and
serving of the potatoes.
1t is hard to appreciate the
great publicity that will come to
our state from the Potato Day.
North Dakota has always been
known, where she is known, as a
strictly wheat producing state.
Potato Day will not only thor
oughly advertise North Dakota but
it will also call attention to the
fact that we are no longer a one
crop state but that our lands will
produce anything grown any
where.
Here's to the GREAT BIG
NORTH DAKOTA POTATOES,
may they increase in numbers if
not in size.

COTTON UP DESPITE
TRADE ANXIETIES
Prospects That Shipments Will
Be Restricted by War
Operations.
Jt tLOOK FOR ACREAGE

About all that could he said OF yes
terday's cotton market was that it
maintained a fairly steady undertone
In the face of rather unsettled condi-
tons. The trade appears ready to sell
freely on the first sign that cotton will
ne declared ~contraband. while the
operations of the German submarines
continue T" cause u~neasiness.
Tn. anxiety received additional con-
frmstion yesterday by Washington adj
vices which stated that Government Of
hcia's were seeking to discover some
means Of safeguarding American COM
merce. aud that until such safeguards
could be established shipments from
this country would be greatly restricted.
II was. therefore, somewhat i'm con-
,radiction to the general news of the
day that the market advanced and
closed at a moderate net gain for the
day
Developments concerning the acreage
are likely to supply the first definite
incentive for taking "A positive stand
n regard TO the course of prices. There
has been q striking modification OF
views on the part of the South in
this respect. Along In November and
December hundreds OF Southern bank
ers we're pledged to make nc loans to
farmers and country merchants agreed
TO withhold credits from farmers unless
the client agreed to reduce their acre
age 90 to 80 per cent.
since that time, however. old loans
have been paid up, collections have re-
lieved the tension and M such drastic
action is likely to be taken. As a mat
ter OF fact 1t looks as II tn South were
rather Indifferent to the question of a
hig acreage curtailment. Gradually the
predictions have been slipping down
rom so per cent. to % per cent. and
now the average prediction Is for II cur
tai,ment OF about 10 per cent.
For a time great reliance was placed
IN a heavy reduction in the use Of fer
~,ilizers. Farmers. however. havc paid
many OF their old bills and the fertilizer
concerns stand ready t. make sales TO
those who are in good standing.
II precedent affords any guide ii will
be impossible "a form any definite view
regarding the acreage unless more il
known about the price " cotton around
the planting season. II there is much
bullish enthusiasm at the time the re-
duction will bee trivial. II. IN the other
hand. prices are low with little prosnect
Of an advance The effect MAJ be quite
marked.

decline were credited in some circles.
although there were advices from Bal
timore of reselling by exporters. Ref
erence to the threatened embargo on
exports of all foodStufs from this coun-
try was naturally a factor. but in
numerous cases the selling was thought
to reflect shaken confidence. Stop loss
orders were reached and the fresh specu-
lative demand did not serve to impait
~steadiness to the list. As a result the
final quotations for the day were at
about the lowest of the session and
