Association here by Lou d. Sweet,
president of the Potato Association OF
America and president of the Colora-
do Potato Growers Association.
Mr.. Sweet urged selective breeding
of seed potatoes and enrichment OF
the soil, with consequent capacity OF
given area to support more hills of
potatoes, as remedies for the present
condition.
"On the great Dalmony farm of the
earl of Roseberry, near Edinburgh,
this record has been increased in re-
cent years to some 1000 bushels, the
largest ever recorded.
In this country our farmers gen
orally have been sending their best
potatoes to market and keeping the

LIEUTENANT THROWN FROM AEROPLANE IN
 AIR AND IS KILLED

From a Staff Correspondent of the United Press, British Headquarters n France, June 11.--A German avia- tor, shot down within the British lines, told with amazing noncholance how he lost his passenger in mid air. The prisoner is a Corporal and was piloting twoseated machine on reconnaissance work. The passen- ger was a new Lieutenant observer whom the pilot was taking up for he first time.
 The Lieutenant was nervous from the start and kept giving the pilot contradictory instructions. which soon caused him completely to lose his way. That is how he happened to get over on the British lines
 The pilot turned his machine east ward, as he thought, but believed something must have gone wrong with the compass. He had not gone great distance when he sighted several British flying scouts. Now the passenger became fairly frantic and began beating the pilot on the back, urging him to swing around in the opposite direction.

 The pilot took matters in his own bands and, in order to escape from the attackers. dived almost verti, cally with the engine full on. He did not flatten out until within 200 feet of the ground, and then almost faint from his wounds, let the ma chine slip and landed with a crash.
