Those who fear that the potato busi-
ness will be overdone in 1917. should
take into consideration the statement
made by experts. who claim that the
high price has tempted farmers to sell
themselves short Of seed. Indeed, it is
claimed that there Is not enough pots-
toes in Colorado to plant the required
acreage, and some are advocating the
very economical plan Of saving the eyes
Of each potato pared In the kitchen.
One should pare the skin rather thick at
the eye. or else gouge little cone
shaped piece back Of it. Others advise
saving the seed end Of each potato. and
this seems the better idea Of the two.

The 64o.Acre Homestead Law


stead entrymen or patentees in which to
make additional entry of contiguous
lands. The Secretary of the Interior is
authorized to make equitable division
in tracts of not less than 40 acres, when
two or more qualified entrymen apply
for the same lands. A 40-acre tract
may be entered by the first qualified
applicant.
Section 8. Mineral rights and the
right to prospect for minerals are re-
served.
Section TO- Lands containing water
holes or other bodies Of water needed
by the public for watering purposes
shall not be designated. Lands needed
to insure access by the public to such
watering places may also be reserved.
as well as lands needed for driveway of
stock between summer and winter pas
lures.
Section II. The Secretary of the In
terror is authorized to make rules and
regulations for the administration Of
this law.
Perhaps SO per cent of all applications
under this law. within the Sterling and
Denver land districts, will be for addi-
tional entry upon lands contiguous to
prior entries. 1t should be remembered
that under Section 8, entrymen or pat
entees have preferential right for so
days after designation to enter adjoin-
ing tracts; but that in order to exercise
this right their own former entries
should also be designated. Such per-
sons should therefore make their appli-
cations and petitions for designation be-
fore some qualified officer without un-
necessary delay, in order to protect
their own interests. AS Section pro-
vides also for equitable division Of
tracts among applicants with adjoining
lands, one application need not deter
other qualified persons from applying
for the same tract, as each such appli-
cant has an equal right under the law.
Congressman Timberlake, who intro
duced the bill for this act, and worked
effectively for its passage, has written

structions regarding the law will soon
be issued. When these instructions are
received, safe way may be found for
the making of stock-raising entries up
on lands secured under Accomplishments.
At present this is not advisable, except
where the entrymen of adjoining lands
will agree not to exercise their right to
ask for division of the relinquished
tracts, or where such division is salts
factory to all concerned.

that is its marvelously consistent in

OF Commerce Redfeld. who has just

thrne-paEc description OF the candy
market in Arabia. and suggesting that.
since supplies from the usual source
cannot be obtained during the war.
American manufacturers might b"
able to introduce their product. Some
how or other there is constant lack Of

Is asking Americans to economiZc on

that they cannot obtain a suflicien;

Yet hero is Secretary Rrdlcld utilih.

The British Food Controller forbids
the selling Of potatoes wholesale al
less than &C per ton. But II appears
that potato growers arc quite ready
10 sell them at CO los per ton. The
consequence Of this prohibition is
that, in spite OF there being willing
BUYERS and willing sellers al less than
Go a ton. farmers have had in many
cases to take their potatoes back from
the market, unable TO dispose Of them.
In Ireland this year, it is related,
the potato crop has been the most
bountiful for half a century. Yet
owing 10 the edict. Of the Food Con-
troller, the poor consumer in that
country is unable to buy potatoes hn'
cause the farmer is prevented from
having free market in them. This
anomalous condition OF things is not
confined to Ireland; it obtains also in
Scotland and some districts in Eng
land. It Is an amazing thing that at
the very time that the government by
the aid O: treasury grants. Is rcduc-
ing the price Of bread below It's natu-
raj cost, it is increasing the price
Of potatoes beyond their natural cost.
The effect Of this policy is that more
loavesl Of bread are consumed and
fewer potatoes, which is the exact
opposite Of what is required in the
national interests.
1t is certainly a stupid act on the
part Of the British food administra-
ton to enforce IN artificial price on
the public when the law Of supply and
demand would have operated benevo-
lently and justly. II Is 10 be hoped
that our food administration will not
run into such a blind alley.
