many of the potatoes have sprouted
and are beginning to grow. The Sill
yer State man was shown two pota-
long and a root starting from the
same nearly that length. If this con-
dition becomes general the farmers
may at digging time find a second
crop of potatoes coming on. Just
what the effect may be is problem
atical at this time. This condition is
said to be due to too much irrigation
and not enough cultivation. Potatoes
need cultivation more than irriga-
tion.--Silver State.

The quest for cheap land keep the
country people on the move, and not
always wisely. They read of cheap
land and without adequate invesves-
tigation, sell out and move. Very
frequently they return in a few years
after losing considerable money.
Land in the Flathead is as good a
buy as anywhere, all things consid-
cred; and those fortunate enough to
possess land here can do no better
than to remain.

In spite of the natural inclination
to the belief that commodity prices
will be lowered under the influence
of government regulation, develop
ments to date do not strengthen that
inference. The proposal to establish
a minimum price Of 50 for wheat,
with no maximum limit, is not ex-
actly reassuring. 1t is possible, of
course, that the minimum price may
work out so as to restrict purchases
as to actual needs. and thereby elm
mate the element of speculation, but
So wheat means $40 flour for
starter, and there are interesting pos
sibilities presented where such fig.
ure is the low-water mark for doing
business in this one great staple.

ing, and those at home will be pray
