TALK STORAGE HOUSE.

co. Agent Hoopingarner was here
last Wednesday night talking TO the
farmers about the erection OF a stor-
age warehouse at Alpha for potatoes.
The reason for Mr.. Hoopingarner 8
campaign for extended storage capac-
ity is that the farmers OF the county
will not have storage capacity for the
enormous crop of potatoes that Is be-
ing raised and II Iron county Is TO
get the benefit OF this big crop some
provision must be made 20 keep the
product in the county. Unless stor-
age capacity is provided many farm
ers must sell their potatoes when they
are harvested and at prices which viii
rule much lower than when the glu'
resulting from so many potatoes be
ing dumped upon the market is re
moved.
A canvass Is being made Of the
number that will probably be raised
in the community and the amount
Of storage space. Upon the result o
this investigation which is being made
by Jacob Holmes, will depend the &C
ton to be taken In connection will

In addition TO the meat there will
be beans cooked in a hole dug in the

manner have peculiar flavor that Is

sided over the camps knew this art
to a nicely and one Of such cooks has
