Potatoes or Not-Mostly Not.

To have potatoes or not to have
potatoes, that is the question that is
pulling the eating public today, and
the answer depends not so much upon
the consumers appetite for this one
time necessary article of diet as upon
his ability to reach it financially, for
the plebian spud is rapidly forging its
way into the class of vegetable aristo-
Gratis, and is putting on such airs as to
warrant a break off of relationship
with ordinary folk.
Potatoes began their upward flight
the middle Of August at an even dollar
per hundred, and rose slowly but
steadily, until the rancher with few
hundred pounds of the early varieties
nearly broke his back in an enthus-
iastic effort to market his crop before
fall in prices. The threatened rail
road tie-up and fall rains stopped
turn the disappointed rancher's blasted
hopes into rejoicing as he watched
potatoes soar upward. Into the sys
tenn of honest toll has been injected
the intoxicant of speculation, and the
humble, pricetaking son of the soil is
glibly quoting rates to anxious buyers,
and enjoying the sensation of playing
first in the market game.
This years crop is being rapidly
bought up by local dealers as well as
by buyers in wholesale quantities who
are shipping them out at fancy prices
Last week, a purchaser secured the
country around Payette. Nyssa and
Ontario. securing two carloads at 2
cents from the growers and contract
ing for the same at 3 cents on the car.
A grower near Boise has a ,five-acre
tract of Irish Delights for which he is
receiving 2H cents per h., and all he
does is to run the digger down the
rows and throw out the spuds, the
purchaser furnishing the pickers and
standing all other expenses incident to
gathering the crop, which is bargained
| for as whole, no attention being paid
to culls or grades.
F. M. Smith, who is a potato att
thority, gives some interesting figures
on this years crop in Deer Flat The
acreage he estimates roughly at be-
tween 500 and 900 acres in that sec
ton. with an average yield of $50 sacks
or 300 bushels to the acre. At two
cents pound this would make the
neat sum of $3.50 per acre, or an ag-
qrcgatc Of $4,000 for the Deer Flat
OUTPUT. Culls are not recognized as
such. the smaller potatoes being saved
for seed Mr. Smith is of the opinion
that tie problem of seed for next
Years olanting will be serious one
as he attributes the present initiation
of prices to general crop shortage

GRIFFITHS BACKS UP
ON PUBLIC DEBATE
Unwilling to Meet Lyon on County
Campaign Issues.

Some little time ago Mr.. H. A..
Griffiths was dead anxious to meet
some Republican in joint debate on
the administration of county affairs
during the past two years. Attorney
L. M. Lyon of Payette Immediately
expressed a willingness to meet Mr..
Griffiths on the platform. Mr.. Crit
fiths, however, crawled out ON the
subtcrfuge that Mr.. Lyon did not rep
resent the Republican County Central
Committee.
The back up of Mr.. Griffiths closed
the incident. However, in order to
keep the records straight we publish
the following letters and affidavits
which are self explanatory.
