Last Saturday when driving along
the farm of Peter Weber which is 10.
Gated about six miles northwest OF
Dunlap, I at first thought could see
a tractor at work pulling gang plows,
without driver and upon getting
closer to the tractor / discovered
mite of a bow at the steering wheel:
It was Alfred, the thirteen year old
son of Mr.. and Mrs. Peter Weber.
Whi)o he is a mere lad in years and
size, he eau handle piece Of machin.
cry equal to many much older.
was told that he has driven an auto
the past three or four years. Those
autos are making race Of machinists
nd Alfred took to this work as natural.
" as q duck to water. A farmer with
a boy or two like Alfred need not wor-
~ about the shortage ct farm help.

man.
There is practically no local market
.or potatoes now. There are over
thirty million bushels Of potatoes in

hey are marketed before June first
many bushels will 20 to the dump.
'rawford county farmers have a sur
plus in storage. The present price Is
below that OF cost Of production. Eat
more potatoes and save more wheat.
rhould be practiced in every home in
the county Potatoes have the same
food elements as wheat. We have an
abundance of potatoes and a shortage
# wheat. Plant potatoes this spring.
Seed potatoes may be bought at a
reasona BILE. price. Government figures
show that every other year We have
low yields. In 1917 we had a high
yield. A large acreage this year will
mean a large number of bushels with
prospects of high price.
