Huge Surplus Crop
Of Potatoes to Be
Eaten Potato Week"

With 100000 pounds of potatoes
in Colorado in danger of being wasted
because of lack OF demand, the U. 8
Food Administration has set aside the
week of April 81 to 81 as Potato
Week"
The depressing shortage of wheat
makes Potato Week" particularly
timely, because potatoes have been
recognized by eminent food authori-
ties as practically equivalent to whea,
in food values. One medium sized pc
tato contains as much nourishment a.
one large slice of wheat bread.
Belgium and Italy are starving.
France and England standing off the
German with blood are crying to Am.
erica for bread And every potato
eaten means that much more wheat
which can be shipped overseas to feed
those who have given all except life
to stop the invader.
Arrangements are being made with
retail grocers to put potatoes on the
market at the lowest possible price,
and householders are urged to lay in
as large a supply as possible, and
serve them at at least two meals n
day.
All over Colorado, clubs are serv
ing Potato" luncheons; domestic
science classes are having Potato"
lessons; conservation classes are Civ.
ing Potato" demonstrations. Every.
thing. in short, which will encourage
consumers to help save this tremen.

Pinto Bean Leaves
For Allied Armies

The first shipment of pinto beans
to Americas allies rolled out of Colo
rado, last Thursday night, and with
its going the first glimpse of the great
European export market was given to
Colorado pinto growers
Fifty carloads 100000 pounds OF
beans were ordered from Colorado By
allied governments for immediate use
overseas, and o. II. Liebers, head of
the bean division of the Colorado
Food Administration, announces that
this order is merely preliminary to
those which will undoubtedly follow.
The British government has already
placed large army orders for canned
pinto beans. -
III Colorado is going to come up to
the demands which these first orders
indicate will be made upon her during
the coming year the 1917 bean acreage
must be greatly increased" Bean Com
missioner Liebers has announced and
added that there was absolutely no
danger of Colorado having an over
production of pinto beans.

PLANT FOR VICTORY"
IS HOOVER'S WAR CRY
TO SUGAR BEET men

Colorado is up to bat again.
This time the state is facing
shortage in the production of sug-
ar beets, and unless she hits the
ball by planting a larger sugar
beet acreage than ever before We
tory will swing in the balance
with Defeat.
The price paid the growers last year
for sugar beets was $7.25 a ton. Ihls
year a federal food commission com
posed OF representative growers ana
manufacturers made flat rate OF slV
a ton. This rate was decided upon'
not to increase the price OF sugar TO
the consumer or to enrich the grower
but to encourage the planting OF sugar
beets and decrease the danger OF
sugar shortage in 1919.
The Importance of increasing Colo
radios sugar beet production during
the coming year was emphasized by
a telegram received by the Colorado
Food Administration April IL, from
Herbert Hoover, federal food admins
traitor.
The telegram read in part:
"At the request of the sugar beet
growers, the Food Administration,
through the inquiry OF various com
missions undertook to use its best Of
flces to secure price for beets which
would return a fair profit to growers
throughout the beet regions.
1.-THE factories having agreed to pay
the prices recommended and upon
basis much higher than was before re-
ceived by the growers, and in accord
with the demands of the majority Of
growers | do trust that the growers
will support the nations sugar supply
by enlarged planting.
"Our shortage of shipping and the
necessities of the allies make larger
demands upon our domestic sugar
next year than ever before and the
maintenance of our own industry is
primary not only to the well-being OF
the growers but the nation as a
whole"
The fact that the land owners in
beet sections receive one-sourth of the
gross proceeds of the beet crop, which
on the basis of a sixteen-ton yield
would mean $40 per acre, is counted
on to influence landlords to continue
to raising beets.

Should Plant Rye
As Wheat Substitutes
All Patriotic Farmers In South Caro-
tina Expected by Food Administers
aon TO Grow Broad cropo--Ryo
suited to South Carolina Soil.

Columbia.-With tho present ur-
gent demand for bread crops, It be-
comes the duty of all patriotic farm
ers Of South Carolina to produce dur
Ing the coming year all the bread
crops possible, says the Food Admin
istration. Not only is the Food Ad-
ministratton urging larger acreage
IN wheat, but it is pointed out that
rye should likewise be planted on q
larger scale than ever before. It n
taken for granted that South Caro-
lima farmers have realized, generally
speaking the necessity Of making their
lands produce food crops, and that,
therefore. they will plant at least
enough wheat to provide for them
solves, and wherever possible, to help
fill up the nations wheat bin.
In planting rye also. the farmer has
an opportunity to help his country and
himself. Rye is an excellent substi.
tute for wheat. in fact has almost
equal value as bread crop. Rye
grows well on nearly all types OF soil
In South Carolina, and requires com.
paratiyely little labor to produce Il.
It offers financial returns to the farm
er. 1t serves as cover crop during
the winter, and 1t may be harvested in
time to plant q crop in tho spring.
Clemson College experts say that
the Abruzzi is the variety to grow in
South Carolina, and that 1t will do
better IL planted on land that has been
well plowed and narrowed early in the
fan. 1t will do well, however, II
planted on corn land II plowed into
cultivation, or better still IL planted
with one-horse drill. Rye does not
require heavy fertilization, but 1t will
do we'll to apply from 100 to 800
pounds OF acid phosphate and about an
equal amount OF cotton seed meal at
the time of planting. 1t should be
seeded at the rate Of to 6 pecks per
acre. The time for planting is not an
important as for other small grains.
1t will probably do best n planted in
October or early November, but it
may be planted as late as December
first.
