The Potato Comes Back

The huge potato crop which the
Federal forecast indicates will be
produced in the United States this
year means that this important
food staple will be, cheaper, and
makes it possible for American
families that had to cut down on
potato consumption because of
high prices, to restore the tuber to
prominent place on their bill of
fare.
The forecast, based on reliable
estimates from all parts of the
country, places the total potato
yield at more than 467 million
bushels as compared with 285 mill
ion in 1916 and 800 million in 1915.
Potatoes of the current season are
already in the market in large
quantities and, since the early har-
vested tubers can not be kept easily,
should be eaten more abundantly
now if spoilage is to be avoided.

Hints To Drafted Men

Drafted men who leave for mo-
bilization camps are directed in
regulations issued, to take a mini
mum of civilian clothing and per-
sonal belongings. Toilet articles,
towels and handkerchiefs are rec
commended and no objection will be
made to two changes of under
clothing, but other articles are
frowned upon.
Attention is called to the fact
that civilian clothing will be dis
carded when camp is reached and
to those not desiring to send such
apparel back home it was suggest
ed that clothing not worth keeping
be worn. The men may carry only
light hand baggage on the train,
and, as suitcases and handbags will
not be allowed for permanent use
at camp, articles may be carried in
bundles if desired.
Before reporting to the local
board, drafted men should have
their hair cut very short, should be
bathed and wear clean clothing.
To insure quick communication
with his family, each recruit is ad-
vised to provide himself with post
cards or stamped envelopes.

Select Seed Corn

At corn-ripening time, drop all
other farm business and select twice
as much seed corn as you think you
will need. The job is too import
ant to be conducted incidentally
while husklng. and demands the en-
tire attention of the farmer when
the time is ripe-likewise the corn.
Get the very best to be had and
preserve it well, because then, say
the corn experts, increased yields
will return more profit than from
any other work that can be done on
the farm. The one and only proper
way to select seed corn is from the
stalks standing where they grow,
as soon as ripe and before the first
hard freeze.
AS soon as the crop ripens the
wise farmer will go through the
field with seed-picking bags, and
husk the ears from the stalks that
have produced the most corn with
out having any special advantages
such as space, moisture, or fertility.
He will pass by the large ears on
stalks standing alone with an un-
usual amount of space around them.
Strains that do we'll in competition
for light, and moisture, and soil
fertility are likely to repeat under
the same conditions. The most i'm
portant consideration is to select
seed from those plants which have
the ingrained ability to furnish the
largest quantity of dry shelled
corn.
Early maturity is a desirable
quality, and so are short, thick,
wind-firm stalks; top heavy ones
with ears borne too high are likely
to mean losses. Breeding expert
ments have proved that the tend
ency to produce suckers is heredi-
tary in corn. Other things being
equal, take the seed from suckerless
stalks.

Successful Red Cross Day

Saturday, Red Cross Day in
Kendrick, proved to be great
success. The afternoon crowd was
not large but the large number in
town in the evening made up for
this in every way. The days work
netted the Red Cross over fifty
dollars.
Much appreciation was expressed
at the splendid display of the re-
suits of the Red Cross work here.
The windows of the Kendrick Store
Co. and Byrne's store were filled
with hospital supplies etc. made by
the ladies Of the Kendrick aux
iliary. The display was complete
and the limited amount of space
prevented the showing of all of the
work which has been done here.
The showing made Saturday was
beyond all expectations and too
much credit can not be given to the
ladies who toiled so faithfully to
bring about the splendid results.
The band played during the
afternoon on the street and the SER
vices of the boys were appreciated
by the members of the Red Cross.
Judge Morgareidge spoke on topics
concerning the Red Cross and his
address proved very popular. He
made the statement that the work
done here was the best in the coun-
ty.
The matinee in the afternoon at
the Grand Theatre was we'll attend
ed and the dance at night drew a
large crowd. Ice cream was served
during the evening by the ladies.
Altogether the day proved very
satisfactory to all concerned and
the members of the Red Cross are
greatly pleased at the support
given them.

S. P. Shut, a recent arrival from

valuable newspaper. He had per-
fected an organization by which he
was able to furnish the news of the
county and conducted his newspaper
along policies intended to advance
the interests of the community
