A LITTLE HARD-HEADED SENSE!

I those who are always and fc.eveT "hard-upr to sell and get the fascin- ating price is almost irrestistibls II
 seems like flying in the face of Provt- 1 dence to hold for seed potatoes which nay never be worth 70 much asa.n-. Furthermore, a whole lot of farmers
 win reason something like iEis:- that everybody'l plant. tnis spring The result will be a delugina Dig crop, | next fall, with consequent low Is.ces
 olks that can get g a busnel, now, ':i be havin' to take fifty Ger ts 2 that's in hand, rather than let 1t go gi aspin' after one in the bus
 T know farmers who are acting on exactly that theory. Instead q say ling an extra quantity of SC ,d they gre selling off some of the b,ns which tT ey, last fall, separated, for thst use. They are deliberately planning to r ant even less than usual, In citer to ov er- supply which they t'.i1k they foresee, next fall.
 Assuming their premises, their con- ciusion is reasonable enough. But are they right in their assun,I tons Frankly, don't think so.
 Tn the past years, whenever our domestic potato crop happened to fall short of domestic demands. we inn ported enough to even up from Scot land and France and Germany and Canada. I See by late dispatch that Canada can still send us 9 few. But we have had none, the past sea son from either Scotland or France or Germany We shall have none the coming season from any of those countries. Instead of sending to us to make up our shortage, they would all be glad to buy many million bushels from us to feed their own famines. What potatoes we have to eat, next winter, we shall have to raise, our selves. We are going to get none from abroad.
 Last year we got none from abroad. And we raised some forty or fifty million bushels less than we needed for our own feeding. That's why the price is so high. Next winter, we must have, not only as many as we raised last year, but also the forty or fifty million bushels we were shy, last year and-still further-seyeral mil lion bushels more to meet the increas- ing demands pf a growing population to eat potatoes than there were last year or are now.
 In other words, we must raise at least fifty percent. more potatoes, the coming season, than we raised last season, merely to hold the level. where it is now. We shall have to raise nearly double last years crop before we incur serious risk of glutting the market ana knQck1nS prices below par.
 Add to this the number of farmers who are wilfully preparing to dimin- ish their plantings for the sake of getting present rates for their old stock; also the practical inpossibility of buying seed, if one's own bins run short, and feel as if the planting of big fields by those who have the seed and can find the fertilizer and labor would be a promising thing to do.
