 BROUGHT TO FARMER
 IN CROP OF A GOOSE

MISSOULA, Mont, Oct. 24.-How wheat, brought originally from Rus sia, has been carried to Montana in the crop of a wild goose and has become established here, was told by Corrie Hyatt, an Indian farmer at Arlee, Montana.

SAY POTATOES
 WILL DROP

Seattle, Oct. 19.-Reformation in the high-price habit for the po- tato trade is predicted by jobbers and shippers generally here today, and digging time, starting this week, is expected to demonstrate tn need Lf different maximums for tn season of 1917.
 Since the beginning 'of the war growers and shippers have been working under the theory that, as a food essential, potatoes would re- main high until the end of the conflict, and the theory has held good uD to the present. AdYices from Washington indicating that no speculation would be tolerated have entirely removed the element that customarily started the price upward during the early part of each season, and, as a result, there is no organized head to the trade, plenty of free-lancing and a con- stantly lowering tendency. A huge crop of potatoes in all parts of the country this year has cut East eru buyers off, and, over and above shipments to Honolulu, California, and Alaska, which are not heavy consumers of Washington will have a good opportunity of eating all their own spuds, feat that has never yet been accomplished, ex- cepting at rapidly falling prices.
 Local buyers are expecting in quirips from an Ohio packer of spuds who, last year, invested heavi- ly in Washington baking stock. This company buys in carload lots, af- rewards repacking into four dis tinct grades of forty or fifty pounds each. Yakima baking Gems met with the greatest favor of all the stock sold. While this company is g pig buyer, it will not be able to move enought out of this market
