South Idaho Spuds Nipped.


Between 20 and 80 per cent OF
the potatoes grown in the Idaho
Falls district this season are ruined
as a result OF the freeze which hit
that section two weeks ago, ac-
cording to information brought
to Boise by Harvey Alfred, direc-
tor of the state farm markets bu-
reau, and II. w. Hochbaum,
director of county agents in Idaho,
according to the Statesman.
The freeze caught the growers
before they could get their pota-
toes under cover.
The growers in that district have
ample storage, but the weather
had remained warm and the pota-
to vines were green until quite
recently, making the crop back
ward. When the growers com
menced to harvest their crop tkt
freeze came.

rejected by examining officers at
American Lake as unfit for service In
the army, according to information
received Thursday by the adlutant
generals Office.
The examinations have not been

before the quota from this state Is
accepted.
Thirty-one men were rejected by
the medical officers when they ex-
amined the Bannock county contin-
gent. Three men from Ada county
have been refused. Fifteen from La

Shoshone county, ? from Koot-
enai county, and numbers from other
counties.
Other men must be sent from the
several counties to Oil up their quotas.
The local boards were advised To draw
10 per cent more than we're actually
needed when making the physical
examinations. 1t is from those ex-
amined that the necessary men will
be drawn.

MUST SAVE FOOD
Germany Not Starving. Speak.
eTS Point Out Our Task.

Boise, ho.--ssGermany, carry
ing on scientific line OF intensi-
fed farming on her own soil and
land usurped from Belgium and
other countries since the beginning
of the war, is able to provide
amply for all her own people and
for prisoners interned in her prison
camps" said S. S. Mcclure, editor
of McClure's magazine, speaking at
the MONDAY conservation luncheon
of the Commercial and Rotary
clubs Tuesday of last week.
Germany is working millions of
Russian and thousands of Belgian
prisoners on these lands and in
this way is able to keep her entire
army on the firing lines, and had
she been successful in making a
separate peace with Russia, the
war would practically have been
won by the Germansrwas another
startling statement made by Mr..
Mcclure. We should not lead
ourselves to believe at this time
that Germany is in state Of star
vasion, continued Mr.. Mcclure,
backing this statement with Incl
dents he experienced in the lands
OF the central powers but a short
time ago. They are practicing
real food conservation, but they
serve good, wholesome, simple
food at their eating houses and in
their families, and the foodstuffs
are bought at moderate prices COM
pared with peace prices of the
same commodities.
Real Conservation Needed.
Mr.. McClure's information put
different light altogether upon
the general conditions in Germany
from those generally understood by
people of the United States. He
said we never would win the war
until we practiced real food conser-
vation, and landed sufficient food
stuffs across the ocean to our allies
to keep them supplied for the
period Of the war, and by some
authorities it was estimated this
period would last until the United
States had an army OF 1000, 600
men in the trenches.
Other Speakers.
Congressman Addison T. Smith
stated that the best support we
could give the United States troops
in the war was by conserving at
home SO that those doing the fight
ing would be better pro ,idcd with
/ food.
S. II. Love of Salt Lake, a
member of Herbert Hoover's ad-
ministration, declared that with
prospects of real sugar famine in
the United States, our people
must cut down their sugar con-
sumption to somewhere near The
present rate OF consumption OF on'
allies and Germany. AS it now
stands we use six times as much
sugar per capita each year as the
people of Europe. Mr.. Love-;
exact figures we're 60 ospounds pei
capita each year for the Unitec
States, while the European people
use IS pounds. per capita eaci
year.
The Rathdrum tribune. (Rathdrum, Idaho) 1903-1963, 1917-11-02

Zone of the most vital problems
confronting this nation is that OF
procuring sufficient sugar to meet the
requirements of our people snd of the
allied nations fighting our common
battle" says telegram from Food
Administrator Herbert Hoover to Il.
f. Bickuell. food administrator for
Idaho.
1.-THE production OF cane sugar 10
the hemisphere can and will be in :
creased to limited degree, but we
must rely upon the farmers In sugar
beet producing sections of the coun-
try for part of the needed supply.
Therefore earnestly appeal to every
farmer so situated to come to his
country's aid 10 this hour of need.
without the CO operation of the
American beet growers our task will
be very difficult and our ability to
respond to the calls to be made upon
us for this very essential commodity
will be curtailed.
ut is at least the duty Of every
beet grower to maintain in 1918 his
normal average of sugar beets. 1t il
his privilege to increase that acreage
to the extent that we'll balanced
production of crops will permit, ahe
10 this manner effectively demon
strate his high patriotism"

SCARCITY OF SUGAR
Idaho People May be Limited
to Beet Product.

Boise, Idaho. THE club women
OF the state will te interested to
slearn that their campaign for the use
of beet sugar by Idaho housewives,
which they have waved for the last
three years, is now going to be put
into force by the government, said a
Boise dealer, TO the Statesman.
'.It Is now the policy of the govern
ment, outlined by the food admins
tration committee, to prevent long
hauls OF foodstuffs. as far as possible.
With this end 10 view, the govern
ment has announced that In future
jobbers aud wholesalers In southern
Idaho must carry so per per cent of
beet sugar. 1t argues, why use cars
which are SO badly needed, both to
haul food for the allies and for
perishables, To haul cane sugar from
the coast to Idaho when beet sugar Is
grown and manufactured at the door?
'The government has also said that
beet and cane sugar shall sell ON an
equal basis, since the chemical analy-
sis OF the two is almost Identical.
Idaho, it appears, has been the only
b districtin which there has been a
discrimination In price between the
two sugars.
"The time may come soon, too, "
said this dealer, when nothing but
beet sugar will be permitted to be
sold In the state, and this would be
only proper, for with the modern
process of making beet sugar 1t can
not be told from cane, either In Jelly
or cakemaking. The prejudice
against beet sugar which was we'll
founded half duzen years ago, has
never been entirely removed"
