No u. S. Products for Germany.

Congress will act wisely in empowering the
President to place embargo on the shipment of
American products to countries which are found
to be re-exporting them to Germany. Despite the
blockade, large quantities of war necessaries have
reached the Kaiser's armies by way of neutral
lands. Private agencies in Scandinavia, Holland
and Switzerland have bought foodstufs and other
basic commodities from the United States ostensi-
bly, for home consumption but in reality for sale
to Germany at fabulous profits. This must be
stopped Our Government has no disposition to
interfere with the legitimate business of Eu-
ropean neutrals or to cut them off from American
supplies. But products own, and it
is duty as we'll right to see TO it that
they not go to the susterance of and defense of
Hohenzollern autocracy.
Every bushel of grain, every pound of meat,
every pound of cotton wool metal that
reaches Germany tends to prolong the war ard is
equivalent to much ammunition put into the
hands of Prussian troops for the slaughter of
Americans ard Americas allies. The fact is any
thing that contributes either directly indirectly
to the maintenance of German industries is an aid
to the German Government and therefore, should
be kept from that country by possible means.
AS to foodstuffs, need every available for
the support of our people and armies and for the
crying needs of England and France. Yet, we
willing spare dependent neutrals enough to meet
their necessities. But If they abuse that priv
ilege by selling our products to Germany they
should be made to feel an embargo without further
ado This will not be interfering with the rights
of neutral trade it will be simply exercising
rights to keep our goods from reaching the
enemy.
In almost every instance the Governments of
the neutral countries recognize the justice of this
position and doubtless will cooperate with the
United States in determining precisely what quar-
titles of American exports are required to meet the
necessities of their people. If that is done and if
a heavy hand is laid upon private interests that
persist in contraband traffic with Germany the
problem will work itself out smoothly and with
aIl-round satisfaction. The people of Norway and
Denmark and Holland and Switzerland realize for
the most part that their well-being is bound up in
the Allied cause; and there is evidence to believe
that at last the people of Sweden also realizing
it, In Belgium's fate all the smaller nations
see what at any time might happen to them if
brutal treaty-breaking Germany should win this
war Therefore, while the insistence, under pen
atty of an embargo, that neutrals refrain entirely
from selling American products to Germany may
be resented by certain commercial interests in
Scandinavia and Holland and Switzerland, the
majority of the people of those countries prob
ably will acquesce in policy in the same spirit
in which it is adopted.

Making Sweet Potatoes Pay.

Three years ago a number of farmers and
business men in Weakley county, Tennessee,
formed an association for growing and market
ing sweet potatoes. Beginning with forty acres,
they raised five carloads, which they realized
twenty-five hundred dollars. Thus encouraged,
the next year they greatly increased the acreage;
the crop amounted to ffty-fve and brought in
twenty thousand dollars. While the report the
1916 output and earnings is not yet complete, it
ia certain to show still richer results.
This example is particularly worth while TO
Georgia whose resources for raising abundant
crops of sweet potatoes virtually without limit
Heretofore Georgia potato growers have lost
heavily for lack Of proper storage facilities, and
have missed the profits of the crop for lack of an
adequate marketing system. Due attention to
these two reeds is largely responsible for the
cess of the Tennessee association. On each of the
WeakIey county farms are carefully constructed
warehouses the capacity of which ranges from two
hundred and fifty to fifteen Thousand bushels. AS
to marketing and its related problems the secre-
tary of the association says
At first we did not pay much attention to
the grading of the potatoes, but the market
demands a uniform product now. Our first
year we we're able to sell our potatoes in bulk
in cars at 81 a bushel. Now we have to have
potatoes in a shipment uniform. and they
must be put up in smaller containers, such
as crates, barrels. or baskets. In the field

these birds swarm to their lands in
