Markets for tho Farmers

he farmers have responded nobly to the
demand for a practical demonstration of
lheir PATRIOTISM Without emphasizing the
alacrity with which their sons have yolun
teered TO take up arms in the countrys de-
tense, il is due them to say that thew have
addressed themselves to the problem of in
creaslug the production of foodstuffs with
energy ana determination that have met the
most sangulne expectations of the govern
ment No other industry has displayed larger
zeal or more intelligent comprehension of
the obligation resting upon It, Nature has
rewarded their efforts. and the menace of a
1000 shortage has been relieved of its former
threatening aspect
FOR the staple crops. there is a sustained
demand IN all the markets at profitable
prices But for perishable products this Is
not uniformly so. Yet somewhere there Is
demand for every pound that has been pro-
ducec, and il reasonably follows that there
should be no congested markets where
farmers are virtually forced TO give away or
else hau! back home perishable foodstuffs
IN large quantities. They have grown these
1000 crops with the expectation of marketing
them al reasonable profit
In this expectation the government should
aid them in every possible way by initiating
and supporting movements TO establish ac-
i've local markets throughout the country
Inc buying public can cooperate In the
establishment Of such markets in their midst
lhey should supply their tables with fruits
ana vegetables poultry butter, eggs etc.
! ana reduce their expenditures for meats and
various iuxurics and the soldier staple foods
lhey can also utilize much of the supply
by canning drying and preserving
rms necessarily involves the maintenance
OF some form OF intelligence bureau by which
the farmers will be kept informed of market
conditions and govern themselves accordingly
AS TO government obligation. the sugges-
t!oh has been made that it should establish
farm produce centers in each county for
handling and distributing foodstuffs. so that
all OF 1t will reach markets where there Is a
| demand. The suggestion Is one not to be
! !lghtly considered. and the new food control
administration should take 1t in hand.

SEES POSSIBILITIES
IN BIG WATER CROPS
Lakes and Lowlands Can Be
Made to Yield Big Sup
ply Of Food.

VernilfOn, 3. d., july S6.- Soutii'
Dakota is overlooking a big means OF
food production in not systematically
developing the fish and vegetable
growth Of her numerous streams and
lakes. This is true of every other state
in the northwest.
In the Forthcoming report of the
South Dakota academy of science,
which is being issued by the University
of South Dakota, Prof. Ralph j. Gill
more, of Huron. says:
Our acres of water should produce
rs definite and constant a food crop as
our acres Of land, and this is the dream
OF many practical biologists of today"
Professor Gilmore mentions many
water products which might be devel-
oped by %selectfor and breeding. Wild
rice rows in abundance along northern
rivers and ponds, but no attempt has
been made to improve this excellent
food grain. Wild lotus furnishes nut
like seed and fleshy stecks. The tubers
of arrowhead, the heavy starchy rhi-
some of the scattering dock, the tender
shoots of the ~cattail, the ,tubers of river
weed, and many others are eaten by the
muskrat, but have been discarded by
M
OF the wild animals, only a few are OF
commercial Importance. Fresh water
clans, once an important item of the
Indians diet, the white man discards
except to use the clam shell for making
buttons. The crawfish, once regarded
p delicacy by the Indians, finds no mar
ket except among the foreign born ele~
ment In the cities, and no effort has
been made to increase its size. Frogs
and turtles furnish a highly desirable
type OF food, but no effort has been
! made to develop this source OF supply.
The water fowl, once so numerous, In
stead Of being adapted to mans needs,
have been wantonly slaughtered like
the buffalo.
Professor Gilmore suggests the pos
| sibility OF improving the taste Of the
.lam, and making it take it's place be-
tide the oyster. He objects that thou
! lands of acres Of good clam raising
| water lie unused in the northwest.
| Muskrats produce good fur. but it re
! auires a large number OF pelts to make
single coat, and still no attempt has
been made to increase the size by
breeding. No plan has yet been de-
| tfsed for increasing the size and food
quality of the various freshs water
| varieties of fish. whether such a plan
pr any other a be made OF great eco
, homie value is a question" says Pro-
| lessor Gilmore, "Fbut although the most
sanguine experimenter does not expect
10 see the realization Of these ideals in
the immediate future, the accumula-
ton of data will go on, for the scien-
lists hope is not entirely unfounded-" a
