ARE URGED TO
STORE POTATOES
Food administration Will
Aid In Distribution of
Large Tuber Crop.

This years crop Of potatoes is one
OF the largest we have ever har-
vested, estimated to be over 100000
900 bushels, or 20 bushels for every
American family. Behind that there
is also bumper sweet potato crop in
the south, where state officials have
taken steps to store this vegetable in
modern warehouses to preserve it's
quality.
So we can look ahead and see a
plentiful supply of potatoes for the
winter at reasonable prices-there
will be no such famine as we passed
through last winter. This is FORUM
ate. We need potatoes to cut down
the cost Of living and help US save
wheat and meat for our army and
our allies.
The United States Food Admins
tration is taking steps to get these
potatoes to the people. During Oc-
tober and November retail grocers
throughout the country will conduct
a selling campaign on Irish potatoes,
handling them at a very moderate
profit. Farmers will back up the
movement by sending their potatoes
to market. Newspapers will urge the
public to buy and store potatoes, and
the crop will be distributed : to the
best advantage to all concerned from
producer to consumer.
Every family with cellar, or
other storage facilities, should put
away from three to 10 bushels, or
more, of Irish potatoes while they are
cheapest during the fall. Potato
storage in the home is fairly simple.
The" tubers must be keep cool, dry
and we'll ventilated. People often
put a supply Of potatoes in a closed
cellar, thinking to protect them
against cold, only to find later that
dampness and warmth have caused
decay. Heat probably ruins more
potatoes in home storage than cold.
Potatoes should be put in barrels with
a few holes in the side SO that they
can have a circulation of air, or piled
I'M a bin that is not too tight, Nor
heaped on boards laid along the floor.
Circulation Of air to keep them dry
and cool can be secured by opening
the cellar windows during the day
and shutting them on cold nights.

John Murray, Stricken III, May

tries in the Rocky Mountain, Inter-
Mountain and Pacific coast regions
The two labor members and the two
members of the commission who will
represent the employers, will join
them on the way.
John Murray, the man who knows
more about labor problems along the
Mexican border, and who has done
more to help the Mexican wage-work-
ers in the border states and in Mex
leo, than any other American, may not
be able to take part in getting the
facts before the commission. He was
again stricken i'll, just as he had tri-
umphed in his long fight to get such
a commission sent to Arizona, and
hurried west to a dry climate. If he
regains strength in the desert he will
still help the Arizona State Fedora
ton of Labor to present it's case. If
he remains too weak to do this, the
burden will be shouldered by labor
officials on the spot. Murray came
east some months ago at the risk of
his life, to try to save the Arizona
labor movement from being utterly
crushed out by the copper barons
aided by the big politicians of the
state. He fought through every sort
of Indifference and encouragement
and change of mind on the part Of the
men to whom he appealed, and it is
due chiefly to his determination that
the chance for a new lease of life for
the union men in the copper camps
is now assured.
There is occasionally a union man
of whom a word of appreciation ought
to be said while he is alive. John
Murray was one of the three or four
Americans who contributed the most.
and who risked life lightly often, for
the. coming and the final success Of
Of the Mexican revolution. In the
struggles of the coal miners in Col
orado and the metal miners in Ari-
IONA he has not been wasted.
