Washington, Oct. 18.-The price of
binding twine is to come down. A con.
ference Of representatives of the state
prisons manufa cturing Irvine, the cord
age companies and the rope manufac-
turing companies with Henry Wolfer,
special representative of the food ad-
ministration in charge of sisal impor-
tations and prices. resulted yesterday

Ralph w. Wheelock of the Minneso-
ia board of control, who represented
the Minnesota state penitentiary, said
today the Reguladora of Yucatan has
indicated that it will be willing to re-
duce the price of Irvine because the
United States can withhold from Mex
leo some Of the food supplies needed
there. This will result in reduction
of the price of Irvine.
Two committees were appointed, one
which will fix the price of Irvine and
cord and the other the price of. rope.
Mr., Wolfer is chairman of both com.
mittces as the representative of the

Potato Crop Is
Great, Report

New York, Oct. 1S.-The govern
ment forecast of the first war crop OF
potatoes is 452,O0O,OO0 bushels, an in
crease of 100,00O,000 bushels over last
year, according to an announcement
by l.. D. Sweet, head of the potato di.
vision OF the United States food ad.
ministration, here tonight.
1--WE are now faced with the prob.
lem Of utilizing this one hundred mil.
lion excess to the greater advantage
of the farmer who has grown them
and the public which will get them,''
eaid Mr.. Sweet.
! Everybody can do something to
bring this about, Hotels and restau.
rants are in az particularly favorable
position to help now that meatless and
wheatless days are at hand, by shov.
ing potatoes prominently to the 'front.'
The government, Mr.. Sweet said,
looked forward eagerly to an increase
in the potato crop because it was only
through such happy result that the
shipment of wheat and meat to the
entente allies could be accelerated.
1T is no longer necessary to eat
sparingly Of potatoes Mr.. Sweet con-
tinued. "Not only is there a sutiici-
ency of food, but also enough for next
seasons seed supply"

Amount Of Food 0veresti-
mated by German Govern
ment;; More Grain Needed

Copenhagen. Oct 21.-A strongly
censored official report Of the discus.
sion of the food condition by the bud
get committee of the Prussian diet
shows that except for the potato crop,
which promises to be satisfactory, the
food situation is by no means as rosy
as the government has been trying to
paint it. The grain situation is such
that hope, not certainty, could be ex-
pressed that the bread supply will last
the entire year. -.
Bread and potatoes will be the bulk
of the ration. as the meat allowance
will almost certainly be reduced. Milk
and butter will be available even in
scantier amounts than now,s when in.
fants' mix allowances has had to be
reduced.

Start Made for Lower Freight
Rates by Railroad Commission

Bismarck, Oct 21.-Acting under
THE provision of Senate Bill number
~, effective July l, 1915, the North
Dakota railroad commission has in
stituted proceedings against the rail-
roads operating within the boundaries
of the, state to put into effect new
maximum commodity freight schedule
which will materially reduce inter-
state rates on the principal North d.
kota commodities.
The railroad commission has order
ed the railroad companies to appear
before the commission and show
cause, If any they have, why the pro-
posed rates should not be put into
effect.
The tentative schedule OF freight
rates which accompanied the orders
sent out to the railroads call for re-
duction of from 10 to Is per cent on
all the principal North Dakota COM
modities, the new rates being practi-
cally the same as those Incorporated
in House Bill No. 29S, which was de-
feated in the senate at the last session
of the legislature.
Some of the commodities on which
freight rates will be reduced under
the tentative schedule are wheat, fax
seed, broom corn seed, buckwheat,
wheat -four, all uncooked grain or GER
cal products manufactured from
wheat; coarse grains, potatoes, hay.
straw, hogs, cattle, sheep, horses,
brick, crushed stone, gravel and 9TH
ers.
Notice was served on the Chicago
and Northwestern, Chicago, Milwaukee
& st. Paul, Farmers Grain and Ship
ping Company, Great Northern, Mid
land Continental and Northern Paci-
fic.
The hearing will be held on the fol-
lowing dates: December s, Darlington;
December Z. Minot; December 8, Grand
Forks; December 10, Fargo; December
II, Dickinson; December IL, Bismarck.
In discussing the proposed action on
the part of the railroad commission.
James A. Little, rate expert for the
commission, said tonight: u
"Intrastate rates in North Dakota
are considerably higher than they are
in adjoining states. Minnesota rates
are from 20 to 40 per cent less than
| the North Dakota rates, and so are the
intrastate rates in other adjoining
states. Of course the schedule drawn
up by the railroad commission for dis
cussion at the hearing mentioned is
only tentative and is subject to
change.
with two packing plants in the
course of construction in the state"
Mr.. Little continued, land in view of
the fact that the state is raising much
of its own seed grain, we may expect
steady increase in interstate tariffs
and these tentative commodity rates
would, We believe, tend further to en-
nance this traffic and thereby in
crease the transportation of products
from one point to another within the
state rather than the practice Of going
outside the state"
