court at a preliminary hearing be-
fore Justice A. B. Dill lste Wed,
nesday afternoon on charge Of

POTATO CROP HAS
BEEN HARD H|1

Fargo, Nov. 1.-Dr. E. F. Ladd,
North Dakota food dictator, said
that North Dakota's potato crop
in storage is seriously endangered
by the cold weather and the car
shortage. He received complaints
yesterday declaring that thousands
of bushels of potatoes lie in the
fields in shallow dugouts and are
liable to be destroyed unless cars
are provided for immediate ship
ment. He states North Dakota 8
storage facilities for potatoes are
entirely inadequate.
Not more than half Of the Min
nesota crop Of potatoes has been
harvested. At Duluth and at In
ternational Falls; Minn., the ground
is covered with six inches of snow
and this apparently has saved the
potatoes temporarily, but the grow
ers may never be able to get them
out of the soil.
Many potatoes in North Dakota
have been destroyed In the Ber-
thold districts. many acres remain
to be dug and many of them have
been frozen. Another snow fell
last night and it is believed that it
is here for the winter. Potatoes
are selling at around $3.50 per
bushel in the Minot stores.
