SEED POTATOES NEED TO BE
DISINFECTED.

(From the Des Moines Register)
With less than 100000 bushels
OF potatoes in Iowa the first Of the
year, as compared with ever 49,
100000 at the same time the two
previous years. the question Of pota-
toes for seed supply assumes con-
siderable importance. Only one
state shows as many spuds as was
reported a year ago; most of the
states less than half as many. There
is no possibility of securing an album
dant supply from outside the state.
This condition points to several
conclusions. There will be ten
dency toward smaller acreage this
spring due to shortage of seed. OF
the seed planted, much will be small
tubers that are unsuited for the
table. while large share will un-
doubtedly be of poor quality. Be-
cause of the scarcity Of potatoes For
table use and for seed. many sctbby
and disease infected spuds will be
planted.
Small Potatoes Yield Well. $50,

as good yields can be secured from
small tubers as from large ones, In
many cases the yield being in favor
of the small tubers.

TO TELL OF SEIZURE.
Former Ambassador Bernstorff
Prepares to Report to Berlin.
Statement to Foreign Office Explains

mann Plot Note.

Copenhagen, March 14.-Johann Won
Bernstorff, dismissed German ambas-
sador to the United States, prepared a
statement on Germany's dealing with
Mexico, after his arrival here. This
statement will be forwarded to the
Berlin foreign Office and If approved
WI be made public through the Off
ciAl German news agency at is Under
stood that Tie settlement deals with
the way in which Foreign Secretary
Zimmermann's instructions to the. Ger
man minister in Mexico City fell into
the hands Of the american govern
ment. ;f.4N Is 415.
Not even Mrs. Won Rer2stQgG, the
American wife of the former ambassa-
dor to the United States from Ger
many, was exempted in q minute
search of the Observation-Disclosures
liner Frederik VIII, and it's passen-
gers by the British authorities at Hall
fax.
So repugnant were the methods Of
the search enforced on the former en-
yoy that he will lodge formal protest
at Washington. At the time Of the
searching the British authorities re-
fused to transmit his telegraphic pro-
test.
They did mail a censored protest to
Doctor Ritter, the Swiss minister in
Washington.
Won Bernstorff was the only one
of the party who was exempted. His
wife was searched thoroughly. Even
the insoles Of her shoes were ripped
off. But her examination was mild
compared to that to which the other
Germans had to submit. They were
stripped to the skin and even their
mouths as we'll as the spaces between
their toes explored ~
The women in the party were not
excused from this rainstaking hunt.
All German gold money was confis-
Gated as contraband. Some Germans
lost little paper money, Customs
officials likewise confiscated all rub
ber-including hot-water bottles, nurs-
ing bottles, nipples and rubber heels.

DEALING With Troubles.

We shrink instinctively from troubles
as we shrink from hard and painful
tasks we cannot escape the suffering
they bring but we decide whether they
shall weaken or strengthen us. 1t lies
with us to receive them as enemies or
as friends. They offer us fortitude, pa
thence, courage, strength. growth or
cowardice, bitterness, despair; we can
not prevent them from coming to us,
but we can decide whether they shall
help or hinder us in our life purposes.

COTTON MARKET
IS DEM0RALlZED
Prices in New Orleans Drop
Over 400 Points as q Re-
suit Of German Note

Yesterday will go down in cotton
future trading history as the wild
est and most exciting session ever
witnessed since that system was in
augurated, says the American.
The scope of fluctuations on the
day that the crash came with the
Sully failure were surpassed yester-
day. A break of over 400 points was
recorded on the opening call alone
on the May and June positions.
Germany notifying the United
States of her intention, effective
yesterday, to extend the blockade
and sink all vessels entering a pre-
scribed zone by means Of an unre-
stricted use of submarines, was the
cause Of the crash.
Seeing the panicky condition Of
those on the long side, leading short
interests refrained from buying to
any extent, until March had sold as
low as 1890 and May and July 13
cents.
There was an outlet for all cotton
offering at that level and trade in
terests jumped into the break and
the combined buying power caused
a rapid recovery of over 800 points
from the bottom, March contracts
selling as high as 16 cents, May at
1910 and July at 1920.
Buyers on the break took profits
at that level, while short selling was
resumed on a large scale, prices
falling from 200 points from the
top under this combined pressure.
A fairly good rally took place be-
fore the close, which was steady,
with prices showing net loss for
the day Of 269 and $50 points on
old crop months and 233 points on
the new crop months.
Judgment of the situation at pres
ent is upset and uncertainty as to
what is to followkeeps the market in
suspense.

FOOD PRICES KEEP
PACE WITH COTTON

Even though the price of cottor
remains high and large crop Is
made in 1917, the farmer who does
not produce as much as possible OF
the required food and foodstuffs or
his own farm cannot remain very
prosperous according to DR.. Brad
ford Knapp, Of the U. S. Depart.
of Agriculture, who addressed the
farmers at the recent short course
at the Louisiana State University
The farmer is prosperous now be
cause he paid debts made at low
prices. The increase in the prices OF
supplies did not occur until the fall
of 1916, but they have kept pace
with that of cotton and have the
same relative value as existed in
1914.
In the rolling wealth Of 1915 the
farmer should not forget the power
ty of 1914. The unbalanced hus-
bandry showed great defects at the
opening of the European war. Peo-
pie then turned their attention to
the production of food and live
stock, and the program of safe
farming then adopted should not be
changed now. Safe farming does
not mean leaving out cotton or cane
or rice. It means nothing more o,
less than on his own farm food fol
his family, feed for his live stock
