Saturday Is Market Day At Crystal
Falls. The following marget quota
lions will give you an idea OF how po-
tatoes are going at the larger markets
You will note that our markets here
should be about the same as at ship
ping points with the difference OF
freight, sacks, etc. Our freight rate
TO Chicago Is about l2c a bushel
Sacks at 10c leaves US about $1.lO to
$l15 IL we were to ship our stock
However, we are not anxious to ship
unless absolutely necessary, since
the producer loses the shipping charg,
and the railroads are now over-tax-
ed with shipping. The consumer has
TO pay freight both ways with two or
three commissions, while the local
merchants do not get any more for
handling the product.
With these things in mind the farm
ers OF this district have just erected
potato storage house on the North
Western line at Crystal Falls. to be
used by anyone for the storage OF po-
tatoes and vegetables. If you don't
want 10 draw them in you may ship
TO the storage house. You may noti-
~ the Office II you want any storage
space in this house. The charges for
storage will be only enough TO pay
expenses The crop can be removed
az any time the grower wishes, and
he is ready to market his crop when
people want IL.
BY the proper use OF the root house
the potatoes may be properly graded,
the market kept steady, the local de-
mand satisfied. supplies kept at home
or surplus marketed comparatively 10

know where he can always get sup
