Senator Jones protest to the council
Of national defense and President Will
son against intimations that orchard
products would be classed as luxuries
and denied transportation facilities,
Is logical and should be convincing TO
the government.
The Spokesman Review has pointed
out the inconsistency Of action that
would injure and probably ruin a great
productive industry at time when
strenuous epdeavor Is made to key up
the country to increased production.
Senator Jones now well says that "ac-
tion like this il bound to bring indus

being urged on one hand to produce
abundant crops, they are, on the other
hand, discouraged from doing 80 by

One Of the greatest lessons that the
war is teaching is the power and duty
Of cooperation; that no one may live
for self alone, but each for all and all
for each Wherever you take hold to
help in these affairs you will work with
some one in common cause; you will
work, not for yourself alone, but for
country; not for your country alone,
but for France, for England, for Bel.
gium, for Serbia, for Russia, for Po-
land, for Italy, for Japan, for China,
for all the world, to save It from the
ruin of misapplied knowledge and self
ish counsels, Nothing like this vast
cooperation was ever known before.
II used TO be said that the United
States has learned to think in the terms
Of continent and that Europe had to
learn that lesson. But now people
must think In terms of all the contin-
ents. The whole world is in the pang
OF readiustment; Of hardly less than
the whole world will you be citizen
when this work is finished.

A POTATO PATCH PILE

The Rural Weekly says: Nowadays
we have potato patches; tomorrow we
may speak of them az potato piles.
A Missourian has been experiment
ing with potato piles for three years,
and asserts that last year he got ~
bushels from plot Of ground only eight
feet square, or an equivalent of over
%, 1000 bushels to the acre Of ground
space used.
This potato plot was six feet high.
1t was made by planting seed potatoes
foot apart each way, covering the
layer with an inch or two Of well rotted
manure and six inches of earth; then
another layer Of potatoes, manure and
earth, and 80 on until the pile WAS six
feet high. Around IL was craterlikc
affair, allowing two inches Of space be-
tween narrow boards for the potato
vines to come through.
When his crop matured all he had TO
do was TO knock the crater apart, rake
out the potatoes and save the earth for
the next years pile.
This new idea potato gardener, r. T..
Hendricks. Kansas City, Mo-, believes
he has solved the garden question for
city folks who have little ground, as
far as potatoes are concerned. He
says that potatoes can be planted much
later If done this way than If put in
the ground via old fashioned methods.
By the Hendricks method no hoeing
is necessary. All one has to do after
getting his potato pile built up is to
give the growing tubers plenty of
water.
II Mr.. Hendricks experiment can
successfully be duplicated In million
back yards this summer he will be
entitled to all the honors bis food need
ing country can bestow. There'll be
no potato famine then.
