SEES WAY OF SOLVING
1917 POTATO PROBLEM
Lou D. Sweet Urges Team Work Be-
tween Food Administration
: and the Public.

The problem of dsvising ways of han
ding Americas 1917 war crop OF pota-
toes to the best advantage of the coun-
try, producer and consumer, can be
solved only by team work between the
large. in the opinion of Lou D. Sweet,
Colorado potato grower, potato expert
Of the food administration.
Though a production Of 452, 200. 900
bushels has been forecast. Mr.. Sweet
said, there are many factors which may
upset that calculation. The acreage
planted. 4.3s4.oo0. is a record one for
yield will be increased proport!onately.
Provided the problem Of transporta-
ton and storage for the crop can be
handled" said Mr.. Sweet, 1T can't see a
great prospect Of overproduction. But
we might as well make UP our minds that
the crop will net tho usual penalty of
overproduction II all factors concerned in
its disposition do not work closely with
the government"
Mr. Sweet points out that there is a
dearth of storage capacity and suggests
that towns and cities provide municipal
storage.
1t Is up to growers and shippers. he
states. to see to 1t that the crop is
carefully graded and sacked. AS a pro-
lection to the consumer. he urges that
potatoes be sold by weight instead of
by measure.
TT is possible that the food admin
istration will attempt to get around abe
problem of transportation for the crop
by calling into use the established Eu-
ropean practice of drying potatoes" he
states. Drying reduces the potato to
one-ffth its original bulk simply by the
removal of water"

SETS HOPES FOR PEACE
ON RUSSIAN SOCIALISTS
Scheidemann Would Not Let Mill
tary Situation influence Pro-
grams Set Forth.
By the Associated Press.


COPENHAGEN. July 2s.-Philip
Scheidemann, socialist member of the
reichstag, gave yesterday the views of
the socialists on their participation in
the government. Herr Scheidemann
said that If really parliamentary gov
eminent were formed with a program
which the socialists could approve they
must participate and share the respon-
sibility. If, however, members Of the
reichstag were only to become subor-
dinates to UNDERGRADUATES and chan
celIors they would not accept the invi-
tation to participate.
Herr Scheidemann said it was neces-
sary to defend Germany against Russia
socialists did not desire to see the fruit
of the resolution destroyed. The Ga
1ician retreat involved the Russian SOL
der and the masses in frfghtful SUI
ferings. The socialist government was
able to assign the responsibility for
this enormous misfortune to the so
cialists of another school.
Herr Scheidemann set hopes for a
speedy peace upon the Russian social
lists, but not the Maximalists. He says
that to attain it all sides must hold
fast to the program of the council OF
workmen's and soldiers delegates and
the German reichstag, uninf1uenced by
a momentary military situation.
He warned against a new attempt to
offer Russia a separate peace and De.
ciared that an announcement should
be made that Germany has no desire
for conquest on any side and that BEL
Rtan independence would be guaran-
teed. as well as the integrity Of France
Herr Scheidemann said that Premier
Lloyd Georges suspicious that Germany
wishes to lay hand on Belgium Is
unfounded. because this Is incoinpatiDie
mann had previously declared that the
struggle to determine whether the PEG
Die should rule in Germany was IN
completed and the socialists were oes
mandinR a government which would
act In the sense of that resolution.
