Potato Starch And Flour
Plant To Insure Farmers
Profit, Spons0redby Kaplan

A proposition advanced by Morris
Kaplan, proprietor Of Kaplan's gro
Gerry, is meeting with much favor by
farmers and several business men, it
being the establishment Of potato
starch and potato -four mill in Be
midi to turn the excess potato sup
ply into money, instead of allowing
the thousands Of bushels of Northern
Minnesota potatoes go to waste. 1t
also embodies plan for the manu-
facture of Saratoga chips, and evap-
GRATED potatoes, such as is being ad-
vocated by the government, and al
ready about 70 farmers have eX-
pressed themselves as heartily in ia
vor Of the new project, while some
prominent business men are lending
support.
It is explained, that suppose a
farmer received 80 cents per hum
dred pounds for ungraded potatoes,
which would be better than rs
cents per bushe1 for graded It takes
approximately $50 pounds of pota-
toes to produce 100 pounds of po-
tato -four At S4.55, which the far
mer would approximately receive,
the cost of converting into flour
would be about $3.50. including
overhead expenses, and the finished
product would bring practically
$3.50.

The installing of this remarkable
machine is in addition to the speedy

service in the Pioneer plant. 1t will
be retained, giving the Pioneer plant
two linotypes, a remarkable feature
of a newspaper md publishing plant

located as she is.
It shows the growthI and progress
of not only the Pioneer plant but OF
the community and the development
of it's bushes. interests, the Pioneer

pound today. The manufacturers
price is 13 cents per pound, which
would allow a leeway Of about 7
cents per pound here from that Of
the manufa cturers, as it is at pres
ent.
A potato is about Is per cent SOL
ids and IS per cent water and the
evaporated potatoes, as advocated by
the government for general sale and
war purposes, is on the same prin-
cple as evaporated apples or peaches.
1t is further explained that pota-
toes cannot be carried over to suit
the owner. They must be sold at
the proper time or become waste, and
there are not enough solids to make
good stock feed at any price. Po-
tato flour is declared the best substi-
tute for wheat -four, as is recognized
in making potato -four cakes, etc.
The plan carries with it the in
stalIation of potato washer, cooker,
flour mill, starch mill, combining
potato peeler to make the flour abb
solutelv white If it was deemed
feasible an evaporating machine
would be installed.
With potatoes being held and
going to waste in such immense
quantities as at present it would
seem that considerable Importance
would be attached to the project for
preventing tAis and turning them
into profit instead of loss.

With the British afield, March

The great struggle is extending
northward and southwark with a
sudden new thrust westward and
northwest, extending northward
against Arras and a gradual spread
around Noyon.
The new battle line is 70 miles
long and the principal fighting is
at three distinct centers, one against
the north flank around Arras, the
second astride the Somme against
the center. and the third against the
south flank between Montdidier and
Noyon. There is severe fighting at
all three points.
Near Avion this morning the Ger

Counter Offensive Started.

Washington, March 29.-Amer-
lean army officers believe the big
allied counter offensive against the
Germans has already started. They
think General Haig's thrust on the
north and General Petain's sharp
thrust on the south H'nks are the
first stages Of the c;un'er offensive.
1t is believed here that the neces-
sary troop disposition made by the
army in it's maneuvers, which the al
lied international council author
lied, is about to strike.
The maneuvers Of the allied armies
have been mystery to the Ger mans
in their drive and its activity is daily
expected.
The allied armies. have been held
back until Hindenburg battered his
own my-into exhaustion and vul-
nerability and today the German ad
vance is at standstill. Further
tremendous efforts are expected. De-
spite the gains Of yesterday, officials
are optimistic.

ming. We maintained the line

Battle Line Lengthens.

London March 29.-The battle
front is now twice the original size.
The former line was SO miles, from
Lefere to Arras. Now it is described
as an irregular triangle from Ar
lououx as the northern apex, Mont
didier the southern point and the
southern edge of St. Gobian forest
as the southeastern point, the two
sides being SO miles long. The base
is IS miles long. The Germans thus

saving for ones self. The stamps
are sold in denominations of rs cents
and offer the opportunity of saving
as one can best afford, the stamps
drawing interest from the govern
ment. The plan is one Of the most
simple and yet effective of any IN
augurated, and the stamps are as
good as the currency of the United
states government.
