THIS IS FOR YOU, MIR. FARMER
BY PROF. ". +. LAGERQUIsT,
Northwestern University.

DO you realize. Mr.. Farmer. that the
farmer. as a class. purchased the small
est amount OF the first issue OF liberty
bonds. though they have been among
those that have profted most financially
by the present war in Europe? Do you
further realize that no class viii be

the failure or success Of this war? If
cur president had not persisted in the
risht of our ships TO carry your car

have avoided war. But not only would
the greatest of all rights, the safety or
humanity on the high seas have been
surrendered but our just rights as q
neutral In the shipment of goods to all
nations have been surrendered.
These gains to the farmer is reflected
IN the large amounts of the important
agricultural crops that have been ex-
ported. These amount iu value TO ap-
proximately s1360.0OO 600 for the gov
eminent fiscal year ending June 80,
1917. It is thus. apparent where the
farmer has directly, derived his exorbat-
ant profits of the last three years. If
the United States had bowed 70 rhe

farr ers would have faced financial ruin
and many would have suffered want.

Give Up Potatoes For Other Foods,

WV W TOeoIOCS tut OInSr FOCUS.
Potatoes are not now the "poor
mans food" says R. w. Thatcher,
chief of the division of agricultural
biochemistry, University Farm. Po-
tatoes contain, on the average, 70 per
cent of water and % per cent of
actual food material. A bushel of DO
tatoes, therefore, contains only a little
over IL pounds of actual food sub
stance. At the present retail price of
potatoes, $500 bushel, each pound
OF food which they contain costs over
"a cents. A pound of rice which con-
tains S8 per cent of food and IL per
cent of water costs 81s cents, so that
one pound of food almost exactly like
that in potatoes can be bought as rice
for little less than 10 cents. A ten
cent loaf of bread contains about IL
ounces Of food and ounces of water:
hence pound of food as bread, which
is much better balanced food than
either rice or potatoes, can be bought
Tor l27s cents. Wheat flour furnishes
a pound of food at a cost of 6 cents.
At present prices, potatoes are four
times as costly as wheat flour, twice
as expensive as bakers bread. and
two and half times as expensive as
rice, the food which most closely re-
sembles them in the character of food
furnished. People can we'll afford to
stop eating potatoes altogether until
the price falls to less than half what
it is at present.
