Truck growers who annually
plant a considerable acreage of po-
tatoes are warned by the United
States Department of Agriculture
that there was, on January l, 1915,
a very much larger supply Of north
ern-grown potatoes in the hands OF
growers and dealers than was the
case January l., 1914. Experience
has demonstrated that a large hold
over crop of northern.grown pota-
toes which is in good condition and
selling at a reasonable price when
the early truck-crop potatoes reach
the market means low prices
sometimes SO low that the ship
ment of such crops nets a loss to
the grower. Under such condl-
tions a small acreage means small
er loss than a large acreage.
With 43 100000 more bushels OF
potatoes in sight January /, 1915
than were available at the same
time last year and with a 1915
price of 43.2 cents as compared
with 66 2 cents year ago, price
whit h I'll d r the then existing con-
ditions did not improve before the
truck crop began to move. there is
little hope that the conditions will
be better this year. The price now
is just about 33 per cent less than
it was year ago. The distribu'
ton of the cropis much better than
last season so there is little llkell'
hood that the price of hold-over
stock will reach last years mark
even by the end of the storage
period.

4 WONDERFUL HEALING INFLUENCE
IN KINDNEY TROUBLES

A wear and a half ago l was
taken with q severe attack of Kid
new trouble that panied me to such
an extent that morphine had to be
given me. Was attended by a
Doctor who pronounced it as Stone
in the Bladder and prescribed
Lithia Water. I took Lithia Water
and Tablets for some time and re.
ceived no relief from them. Istopped
taking medicines for some time,
later having some Swamp'Root in
the house l decided to try 1t and
felt much relieved. While taking
the second bottle commenced to
pass Gravel in urine until l had
passed in all at least half dozen
or more and have not suffered the
slightest since-and in all have
taken one bottle and a half and
feel very grateful to Swamp-Root.

Peru.
ITO be ~eontinusd.l


Peru In the abundance of her min
erals is the real treasure chest Of South
America. The country has a territorial
extension Of upward Of 100000 square
miles. Callao, the chief port, by the
ocean route through the Panama canal
Is within 200 miles as near to New
York as is the City of Mexico by rail.
The a port of Iquitos, 2,10O
miles from Para, Is reached In shorter
time by steamers from New York than
by the overland journey from Lima,
the capital. The country, which has
about 100000 inhabitants, Is divided
into three distinct zones, with as many
varieties of climate, products and soil.
These are the coast zone, the sierra or
mountain zone, which includes the
great tablelands and valleys of the
Andes, and the montanic or forest re-
gion, which stretches from the eastern
slopes of the Andes to the vast river
basin of the interior. Peru's resources
are both agricultural and mineral.
The principal agricultural export prod
ucts are rubber, cotton, cane sugar and
alpaca wool.-Exchange.

Lady yerinder's death left her

DAYS from my aunt's death the secret
of the marriage engagement was no

castaway-was how to make himself
