PANBURY MATTERS MAY
 AVOID FORECLOSURE.
A. F. of L. Attorneys Are Negotiating
 For a Settlement.

Danbury, Conn. July 12.-It Is learned this afternoon that there Is a possibility that the Danbury matters case, as the famous case of D. E. Loewe & company vs- members of the Hatters' unions here and elsewhere is known. may be settled before the date set for the foreclosure of the property under attachment This would pre- vent the sale of the homes of about 14O defendant matters in this city, Norwalk and Bethel. A conference between the attorneys in the case is understood to be in progress in New York
 So far as the unions are concerned, the settlement rests with the Ameri- can Federation of Labor, whose attor- neys have the matter in hand. The basis of settlement, if one is arranged would probably be the payment of a lump sum to Loewe & company. This action would save many of the de- fendants from the loss Of the places which have been their homes for many years and would relieve much anxiety on the part of the families interested

UNCLE sAMs OPTIMISTIC FORECASTS

What do you think of these gov ernmental food forecasts? I am in clined to think they are all right. like the weather predictions, if they come out all right
 It is predicted that the potato crop is going to be nearly twice this year in bulk what it was last year-452,- = 900, 900 bushels against 2SS, ,O00, ,000; and the land devoted to producing Irish potatoes is stated to be 1884, 900 acres. I do not see how the gov ernment estimators get at these hope full results, do you, so many weeks before the crop is harvested?
 Have you travelled through New England lately? If you have you have been surprised to see how read ily the people have responded to Pres ident Wilson's appeal to have pro duced in America a world sustaining crop. Potatoes are being grown by everybody everywhere, and back yards, front lawns, roadsides, land abutting railroad lines and redeemed swampland are being devoted to the raising of potatoes in addition to a large increase of acreage made in fla vor Of this vegetable by the regular growers
 There Is no way to get anything like an accurate estimate of the acre age devoted to the potato crop. There are millions of little plots being de- voted to the growth of the tubers which will never be included in the estimates.
