BRITISH PREMIER WANTS
TO SETTLE HOME RULE
Associated Press By o. S. Naval wireless.

ASSOCIATED Press by q. s. Naval Wireless.)
WASHINGTON, d. c., April 2S.-
Irish home rule has intruded itself
into the deliberation between the Of
ficials of this country and the com
missioners frcIn Great Britain. 1t
was frankly admitted YESTERDAY that
the relations between the United
States and Great PritaIn would be
vastly mare cordial If some plan can
be mapped out that would settle the
long standing problem so that sat.
isfactory scttler.Cnt could be reached.
II was admitted that the question is
an extremely delicate one and one that
the United States cannot in any way
make any move toward touching. In
deed. il was denied that the admins
tration even contemplates the posi-
bility Of suggesting to the British gov
eminent, formally or Informally, that
such and such a step might be a good
one. Far less does il contemplate ex-
pressing even iB+ormally any opinion
on the action OF the British govern
ment, but IL has let ii be known that
a settlement of he Irish question Is
one that would Init the two countries
together in the closest possible bonds.
While this matter wEs being talked
over mere il was also the subject OF an
appeal TO the press which the British
premier, David Lloyd George, deliy'
cred in London Fhe prime minister
called upon the papers and the peo-
PIE OF Great Britain to throw aside
our differences end get the Irish cues
ticn settled fer once and all. Ireland,
he added must be converted into Z
cheerful aad loyal comrade in this,
our present extremity. Already the
Irish people have done maryels for the
kingdom and empire, but there is more
far them to do, End if We ask them 70
aid us il Is but fair that We should
attempt to settle their difficulties.

THE POTATO Nj BACK.

The huge potato crop which the Federal FORE
cast indicates will be produced in the United
States this year means that this important food
staple will be cheaper, and makes it possible, says
the United States Department Of Agriculture, for
American families that had to cut down on potato
consumption because of high prices to restore the
tuber to a prominent place on their bill of fare.
The Department forecast, based on reliable es-
Inmates from all parts of the country, places the
total potato yield at more than 467 million bushels
as compared with 285 million in 1916 and 800 mil
lion in 1915. Potatoes of the current season are
already in the market in large quantities, and,
since the early harvested tubers can not be kept
easily, should be eaten more abundantly now if
spoilage is to be avoided.
Next to the breakstuffs, potatoes are the most
important food crop of the western nations, the
Department points out. They are all the more i'm
~portant now that the worlds wheat supply is
short, since they furnish starch, the principal
food element contributed by bread, and so may be
substituted in part for bread.
1t is no hardship to Americans, says the De-
partment to eat freely of potatoes; rather it has
been a hardship to them during the past half year
to forego somewhat the use of this common food.

KNOW COTTON GRADES; SELL IN QUAINT
TIES; POOL COTTON SEED.

The remedy for all these evils, of course lies
in cooperative selling. In every cotton county
arrangements should be made for grading or class
ing cotton, the ginners mailing samples to agricul-
,tural authorities, these authorities then advising
the grower of the exact grade. Then farmers
should form marketing association and sell by
class in so, 100 or 5O0-bale' lots.
We have already referred to the bulletin on cot
ton marketing in Oklahoma; and later Agricul-
tural Department studies in Arkansas and North
Carolina likewise emphasize the points we are
making. In a new bulletin, "A Study of Cotton
Market Conditions in North Carolina" it is shown
that farmers who knew the grade and class of their
cotton averaged $1.15 more per bale for their cot
ton than farmers who lacked such information re-
ceived for line of exactly the same quality. Then
again:
Producers who sold in lots containing
ten or more bales obtained from SO cents
to SLAB per bale more than the producers
who sold one or two bales. CHASING is only
the first step and pooling or selling organ
~izations should be formed if the full bene-
fits of CHASING are to be realized"
And as surely as cooperation is needed in SELL
ing cotton, it is perhaps even more sorely needed in
selling cotton seed. Many farmers have no IN
formation as to what cotton seed are worth in 9TH
er markets and accept without question whatever
local buyers offer. How great is the loss is illus
trated by an investigation conducted by The Pro-
g~ressive Farmer a few years ago and which many
readers will remember. We asked readers to re-
port to us prices paid for cotton seed in their
various markets on the same day, and the reports
showed that at the same time and almost the same
hour cotton seed were selling all the way from
SIS to S33 per ton.,
Farmers frequently have to sell their cotton in
order to pay their debts, but most Of them can
hold their cotton seed, and it should be the custom
all over the South to pool seed, selling through a
competent agent or exchanging for meal and thus
getting the highest values for all growers.-The
Progressive Farmer.

PLAN NOW FOR PLENTY OF FEED FOR THU
MILK COW.

The family COW, provided always there's plenty
of good feed for her, may be made to contribute
very largely to the family food supply, says the
Progressive Farmer. Milk and butter are not only
very nutritious and wholesome, but they are also
cheap if produced from cheaply grown hope-raised
feeds. That this feed may be provided, there are
three things in particular that we would urge right
now:
/. Provide a irst.class permanent pasture.
Nowadays farming without a good permanent pas
ture is a poor, business, and especially should
plenty of good grazing be provided for the milk
COWS. While it is late, we would even yet put out
Bermuda grass if the farm has no good permanent
pasture. Not a very great deal of grazing may be
expected from it this season, but it should be-
come well established before frost. Then put les
pedeza with the Bermuda next February or March.
2. Plant plenty of hay crops! Rough feed will
probably be scarce and high-priced next winter,
and plenty of cowpeas, soy beans, sorghum and
millet should be planted to augment the home
supply. In most parts of the South these may be
safely planted as late as the last Of July.
3. Plant winter grazing crops, especially Alb
ruzzi rye and crimson clover. Abruzzi rye is prov
ing itself probably the finest of all winter grazing
crops for the Cotton Belt, and a few acres of it
will go far toward insuring the winter milk supply.
Crimson clover, too, does well in most of the
South, and as a late winter and early spring graz
ing crop is excellent.
