POTATOES As FODDER
For Cattle in Germany Being
Used Too Freely and Prices
Are Raised.

BERLIN. via London, Feb. 90
The Bundesrath having learned that
German farmers were using potatoes
too freely for fodder has raised the
prices of potato products. 1t is be-
lieved this will prevent the consump-
ton of potatoes by cattle. In the flu
ture potato flakes will cost 1915 per
220 pounds and potato starch will
cost s12 per 220 pounds.
The Bundesrath has adopted a
measure by which the number OF au-
tomobiles IN Germany not being used
for military purposes will be reduced
by about one half. The purpose Of
this is to save the consumption OF
gasoline and lubricant OIL and in rub
Der. The. Bundesrath estimates the
number of automobiles in Germany
roundly at $4,000. ..

that the Stemper bill amending the

Senator Martin.
''These statements originated with the
Madison State Journal staff, employees
of paper which has been fighting for
