r POTATOES THIS SEASON
GROW POTATOES THIS SEASON
BY p. G. Holden.

~ OMNISSION men and dealers declare that the supply Of seed potatoes
on April I wa so per cent short of last years supply. This is because
~ of a shortage of nearly 100000 bushels in last years crop in the
United States and q shortage Of nearly a billion and a half bushels IN
the world crop as compared with 1915.
This abnormal shortage comes at q time when every effort is being made
to increase the production of all kinds of food. For this reason the situation
is douby serious.
The demand for potatoes must continue so lon as HI present war lasts
and for several years after III var is over.
The season or planting potatoes has lot yet passed. In most parts of the
United States potatoes can be planted Until June 4.
Housewives and restaurant and hotel propretors are urged in a country
wide movements to refrain from cooking old potatoes during the months Of May
ad June in order that the entire stock on hand may be used for seed. There
will be N o danger OF an overproducton.
We should increase all root cops-turnips, carrots beets parsnips-which
may be stored for winter use There is still time to plant these.

London. Oct. 2s.-The London
Times says: There is ample reason
to believe that the critical condition
on the Italian front has received
prompt and sympathetic considera-
tion by the French and British gov
ernments. The Italian commander
in-chief has been informed that he
can rely to the utmost on the fullest
support OF the power OF the allies.
Field Marshal won Mackensen's
objective evidently is to recross the
Isonzo, whence the Italians had
driven the Austrians back several
miles into Austrian territory. he
screened the movement by making
feints toward the south and also
west Of Tolmino. but his main army
struck straight for the Isonzo, at
Santa Lucia and Santa Maria.
The Italian forces we're compara-
lively small at these outermost lin
its OF their lines and the advancing
waves succeeded in crossing the
Isonzo with comparatively little OBJ
struction. Here. however, they were
faced by low range OF mountains In
which the passes are strongly held
by the Italian army. now heavily re-
inforced from the center and south.
The whole operation now pivots
on the possibility of Won Mackensen
driving through these passes.
Air raids are now going on al
most continually night and day. IA
vored by clear weather and a splen-
did moon Cities and towns near
the front have the streets cleared
many times daily. Business has
been virtually suspended. Stores
are closed and thoroughfares de-
serted.
