BUY POTATOES AT
HOME, SAYS AGENT
STORES URGED TO PURCHASE
SPUDS FROM THE LOCAL
GROWERS.
Small Farmer Robbed of Market
When Tubers Are Shipped in.
Musselshell County Agriculturist
Starts Agitation to Find Buyers
for Little Fellows Crop.

Buy homegrown potatoes" is the
slogan of campaign that has been
started in Musselshell county by
County Agent Roy S. Scott in an eff
fort to find market for the pro-
ducers of tubers on small SCALE
In Musselshell as in many other
this year is far better than had been
expected, and owing to the increased
acreage, the total yield is greater
than in former years. The large pro-
ducer has a market for he can ship
in carlots, but the small producer is
not so fortunate. Consequently many
of them are facing a serious problem
in finding market, as merchants
frequently find it more convenient to
ship in a carload than they do to buy
in smaller lots directly from the
farmers, who frequently have not
graded them.
The Importance of grading tn ir
spuds is being pointed out by county
agents throughout the state. If the
tubers are sorted and sacked or pack
ed so that those of the same size are
together the farmer will secure bet
ter price than if he handles them
field rum Graded potatoes always
bring enough more to pay for the
additional work.
Home Gardens Affect Market
Potato growers have had to come
in competition with the home gar
dens, as many consumers this year
have raised their spuds, where in for
mer years they purchased them.
This part of the usual market has
been closed to the potato grower in
year when he has heavy produc-
ton.
IF the local merchant ships in po-
tatoes from other parts of the state
or from other stf tes, there will be
no market for the homegrown prod
uct and the price will be poor" says
County Agent Scott in an appeal to
the Roundup merchants to buy home
grown spuds. eff this happens many
farmers will have to let their crop
spoil on their hands,"
After urging the Importance of fos-
tering the potato-growing industry,
the letter continues:
Helping Find Market
1T is one of the duties of my office
W dlu Ill HlafkeIlng Lne crops OF the
county. In this line I wish now to
ask merchants of the county to buy
homegrown potatoes and not to ship
in potatoes from other parts of the
state. l will do what I can to locate
the supply for these merchants and
wish that farmers would list with me
the amounts they will have to sell
this fall
II feel that I have a right to ask
the merchants to patronize home in
dustry from principle but I put this
appeal rather on business basis. 1t
potatoes are brought in from other
parts l will feel that it is necessary
for me to take orders from consumers
for the farmers crop rather than to
see that crop spoil, and I have no e.
sire to enter the retail business for
my patrons"

WITH THE BRITISH ARMIES IN
THE FIELD, Oct. 6.-F1eld Marshal
Haig's most successful blow against
the German lines was achieved against
Germany's newest defensive scheme
and against the plan Of warfare on
which the Teutonic high command
has pinned all its hopes.
The outstanding factor Of the VIC
tory as its fruits were computed to-
day was that the German 'pill box"
defense scheme is Just ~ vulnerable
as the old style trench defense plan.
The Germans decided to give UP the
complete trench warfare because they
found the tremendous British often
sive barrage made the trenches
death traps. The "Prussian tmpera-
torix." as Hndenburg Is now called
in Germany, thereupon devised the
plan of concrete shell crater defenses,
distributed over-s a wide zone and
sprinkled with "pfll boxes"
This defense scheme succeeded the
intricately complete trench system
on the very front where Haig struck.
The new plan had for months been
extoI1ed behind the German lines as
Germany's supreme tactical achieve
ment. The German rank and file called
It the unbreakable Hindenburg de-
fensive.
But Hafg broke It. Tho Hndenburg
defensive did not live up to the OK
pectations which It's first tryout
around Ypres In the summers bat
ties had raised. The conviction must
now have been borne home crushingly
on the Germans that their armor is
cracking.
The terrible British barrage leve1led
the wide defensive zone OF the new
war system and q new wake bar
rage" mopped up what was left. Be-
tween the two walls Of raining steel,
the British, more like bull dogs than
ever, tore apart the fabric Of the Hin
denburg defense.
Not only this, but German counter
attacks on which Hindenburg's new
system counted on most, faded away.

system Of trench lines for scattered
