RUSSIAN POTATO CROP
III NOW MAIN FOOD
(By Associated Press.)

London, April Is. THE prohi-
bition of the use of vodka In Rus
sia saved the people of Poland from
starvation by releasing for their use
the enormous potato crops planted
for the distilleries," in the opinion
OF Ernest p. Bicknell, who has just
returned from Poland where he
went on a tour Of investigation for
the Rockefeller Foundation War Re-
lief committee.
The greater part Of the Russian
potato crop was planted by the dis
tillers for making vodka. and when
the ukase of the Russian govern
ment put an end to this 1t was pre-
dicted that the phenomenal potato
output of his year would be a dead
loss to the growers. The best po-
tato land in Russia is in Poland and
the crop was being gathered when
Won Hindenbuny began his rush on
Warsaw, in the course of which the
country was laid waste Tor miles.
Fortunately for the Poles. the raw
ages of war did little harm to the
great stores of potatoes safely
slowed away in underground caches.
This store now provides practically
the staple food for the Poles, and
those parts of Poland which raise nc
potatoes are being supplied by an
effective system OF distribution ar
| ranged by the Germans.

A GOOD DECISION

The decision Of the United States
supreme court upholding the Florida
statute making IL unlawful to sell
or ship immature citrus fruit in Flor
ida will no doubt mean great deal
to The citrus fruit growers of that
state. as well as to the consumers
Of it.
Persons who buy imma ture or
anges from Florida under the i'm
preston that they are ripe. not only
are deceived and fail to get their
moneys worth. but also they run the
risk Of sickness II they eat them and
naturally have a very poor opinion
of Florida oranges afterwards. 1t
wouldn't be surprising II persons.
after once having been sold" by
buying immature oranges from Flor
ida always refused, afterwards to buy
fruit grown in that state.
The law which the supreme court,
has upheld will tend. therefore. to
protect the deservedly high reputa-
tion Of Florida citrus fruit. prevent
some sickness. and also some rather
sharp practice on che part Of those
who have shipped Immature fruit In,
order to get their product tU the
markets in advance of the ripened
fruit. The decision opens the way
for similar laws relating to other
products, and designed to protect
both the public and the more scrupu-
lously honest growers.

GERMAN CIVIL LAWS
HAVE BEEN CODED
(By Associated Press.)

The Hague, April Is DR.. G. II.
Huberich, former acting dean Of the
law school Of Leland Stanford. Jr.,
University and now practicing in the
various prize courts of Europe, has
coded the German civil laws enacted
for the government of the occupied
provinces of Belgium. The new code
is published in Dutch, German,
French and English. The work Of
codification was rendered extremely
hard by the difficulty of obtaining
the necessary data, but through his
Berlin connections DR.. Huberich
managed to secure the Official texts
of the new laws. The ordinary Or
dinances of Belgium regulating the
behavior of the people have not been
materially changed. but the CONNER
cial laws have been amended radical
ly so that the foreign and domestic
commerce of the country can be su-
pervised strictly by the German au-
thorities.
