WHERE ARE THOSE sPUps7
Department Of Agriculture Issues State
Mont on Potato Situation.

Mont on Potato Situation.
The potato marketing situation at
this moment apepars to be serious. &C
cording to a statement just issued by
the department Of agriculture. The
total production in 1917 is estimated
to have been 442,536,0o0 bushels, or the
largest crop ever produced in the
United States. notwithstanding this
fact, prices from the time Of digging to
the present have ruled higher than IN
any previous year OF which We have
record with the exception Of last year,
when the crop was abnormally short.
The department Of agriculture has
been able to compute the movement OF
the present crop with more accuracy
than has ever been possible before and
from all Information available 1t ap-
pears that not more than one-thlrd OF
the marketable surplus Of the crop OF
1917 has been moved up to Dec. 81.
In other words. there remained to be
moved upon Jan. two cars OF the
crop of 1917 for every car marketed up
to that time. The movement since
Jan. / has not been noticeably accel-
Grated. The present reserve stocks are
SO widely distributed that the trans
portation problems presented do not
appear to be acute. Generally speak
ing. more potatoes could be moved II
offered for shipment.
The situation demands enlightened,
patriotic and vigorous action OF the
part Of all concerned in the movement
OF this crop. Unless large dealers
promptly move the stocks on hand in
order to speed up distribution and
and bring the large reserve still on the
farms into the channels Of trade. heavy
to result later in the season. 1t Is be-
lieved that dealers will in the end find
it wiser to move present holdings
without profit or even at some loss
rather than to risk destructive vast
age later in the season. At the same
time present retail prices must be
somewhat reduced II potato consump-
ton is to be stimulated as 1t should be.
Prices at point Of production have
generally declined since digging be-
gan and many dealers are reputed to
hold large stocks purchased at prices
higher than now prevailing. This may
account in some measure for the pres
ent slow rate Of movement out OF some
OF the heaviest producing areas and
for the abnormally wide difference be-
tweet present wholesale prices to the
grower and retail prices to the con-
sumner.
Under existing and prospective con-
ditions no material quantity Of potatoes
can be exported or converted into nom
perishable products this season. The
crop can not be carried over. 1t must
be consumed or wasted. The food
situation thruout the world demands
that 1t be consumed effectively to re-
iieve the existing strain on the supply
OF cereals. 1t is the one great food
resource of the world upon which there
is now danger Of heavy loss and the
department is,of the opinion that the
situation demands that farmers sell
freely; that the larger dealers move
their stocks rapidly; and that the re-
taller content himself with the small
est possible margin Of profit. realiz-
ing that he Is now the most important
factor in speeding up potato con-
sumption.

HARDING PROTESTS
DIVERSION OF COAL

Appeals to Fuel Administrator Web ster
Against Divertiro Shipments From
Illinois to East-Iowa Dependent on
Illinois Coal
Des Moines, Jan. Ex-Governor w.
Il. Harding announced today that he
had telegraphed a protest to Fuel Ad-
ministrator Garfield against the alleged
diversion of Illinois coal intended for
Iowa.
The governor pointed out that Iowa
depended on Illinois for considera BILE
portion Of Its coal, and that this state
would have no other outside source to
turn to II shipments. from Illinois
ceased.
1t was said the Iowa congressional
delegation also would take the matter
up. and confidence was expressed that
the matter would be rectified.
Fuel Administrator Webster had
thought the question Of Illinois coal had
been settled. and he had received as
surances that Illinois coal would not
be diverted from Iowa. However, it Is
charged that eastern interests have
sought to have it diverted from Iowa.

Action Condemned by

The Central Federated Union last
night passed resolutions condcmning

at Bridgeport, Conn. The final vote
was not taken. however, until there had
been a lively debate on the question,
with rot = little opposition developing
en- the part of some of the labor lead
erS.
Victor j. Rybcki introduced the reso
luton condemning the strikers. He ar
gued that at this time organized labor
could Ill afford to do anything to inter

Bridgeport men of not only being
trouble makers, but of being most dis
loyal to the cause Of labor.
James P. Holland. Samuel Margoles,
Daniel S. Jacobs, Thomas Rock and
other prominent labor leaders seconded
the sentiments expressed by MIR. Ry-
bicki. They urged that the Central
Federated Union put itself on record as
unanimously opposing the strike at the
present time.
The vote, however, was not unani-

Sympathy was wasted on the Czecho-
