POTATO CONDITIONS
By CARL B. STOW

trip through the agricultural districts of the San
Luis Valley will convince any person that climatic and
soil conditions ideal for the growing of potatoes The
thousands of of thrifty plants demonstrate that this
is of the big potato districts of the United States But
then the wonderful productveness of this crop not
many splendid specimens of potatoes buried in hesoi
exposed The crop of San Luis Valley potatoes is of
ceponally good quality this and WILL doubt
be in good demand at profitable prices to the
Very few western potatoes have been marketed in
lots far this owing to the spuds being slow
to mature but next week several mountain districts will
make shipments and it is expected that number of cars
ments of late varieties of potatoes will start about Sep
tember 10th, but the large will be harvested in
the month of October
The building of large number of cellars this year
has made changed condition in this valley that will
affect the potato shipments tn coming because
large part of the will be stored instead of being
forced the market early and this that the
tatoes must be matured before being harvested.
The splendid qualities of potatoes shipped from the
demand for the spuds grown in this district by MAX
ing shipments just the orders highest
market prices to the growers.
The proposed plan of car distribution is unanimously
approved by the potato and the distribution
the basis of for every three in growing
will make the plan fair and equitable for all
cerned By Saturday night it is expected that the
for signed by the and filed with the Denver
& Rio Grande Railroad company and the San Luis Cen
trail Railroad company, will aggregate a total of more
than two thousand cars.
With reference to market conditions, will say that
although the United States has produced enormous
crop of potatoes yet with all other food products selling
at high prices the spuds should bring good profitable
prices to the growers.

DISCHARGE
FOR CROP WORK

The impression seems to have
gained credence that the men in
cluded in the draft who are needed
in harvesting or caring for crops will
tempted from service. The Off
cial bulletin from the Provost Mar
shal General states that industrial
exemption may be only temporary,
covering the period of gathering of
the crops.
The local board will receive from
the district board list of the men
who have presented claims for tenn
porary discharge on the ground OF
necessity to gather crops. Certif-
Gates of discharge will not have been
issued in such cases, but the local
board, on examining the papers con-
corning such claims, will be enabled,
If 1t deems fit, to class those individ-
uals in the contingent to be sum
moned at one of the later dates fixed
by the Adjutant General.

RED CROSS

A number of different organiza-
tions of Monte Vista and vicinity are
doing splendid work for the Red
Cross.
The Bowen ladies have been work
ing for some time, have completed
number of garments ard within the
last few days have called for ne-y
supplies.
The Rock Creek Social Club have
begun sewing and from them will
come great results.
The North Country club and Dunn
neighborhood are busy with both ma
chine and hand work.
Center ladies have already made
up one bolt of goods into garments
for the Boys at the Front" and are
considering the advisability of work
ing with the local Red Cross Chapter
here, as means of greater efficiency
in the Great Cause.
The German Lutheran Aid Society
is contributing it's She re, having COM
pleted ten garments and taken ten
more to make during the last week.
The Priscilla Society and different
clubs of Monte Vista are also contrib
uting their quota and some work is
being done at the Soldiers Home,
and we are hoping all the ladies
down there will organize for this
great and good work and thus lend
the aid they are so well qualified to
give.
Numbers of individuals are sewing
at their homes and a few in the Red
Cross rooms.
There is room and work for All
Who Will Help, and when fruit pre-
serving, camping and school prepara-
ton is over we are hoping for large
increase in WORKERS.
We are gratified because of the in
creasing interest in both town and
country and believe this interest will
continue to grow.
One box of garments has been
shipped to head quarters. Another
is about ready to go. Knitting is in
great demand. Washington head
quarters are asking for thousands of
sweaters, helmets, wristlets and
socks. Yarn has been ordered by the
Monte Vista chapter and ladies are
ready to instruct any who are ready
and willing to take up this branch of
the work.
A box of muslin bandages is also
near completion and this work may
be done in the homes and will be fur
nished any who wish to take it up.
The Gauze work is keeping up
well, but is the more tedious and the
need for more who will come to the
rooms, is imperative.
II all the ladies in this immediate
vicinity would awaken and get their
hearts into the cause, there would be
enough to fiji the rooms to their cap
acitv and each individual come only
one little half day Of each week.
Can we expect the Governments to
properly do their part unless we, too
do "our Bit?
