the sea-city, and how about the man
with the big family who had to buy
potatoes? Does anybody claim that
paying large prioe to few farmers
is better than paying a fair price to
them all? And who pays that price:
The man of family who has many
hungry mouths to feed.
For the sake Of argument let us
admit that under present and former
conditions bumper crop Of potatoes
may be calamity. But why blame
the potato? The blame should rest
on us on account of our inadequate
preparation to take care of such a
crop.
While we have been crying about
the price Of potatoes, we have beer
importing tons and tons of potato
flour, potato starch, potato gums an6
doctrines. We have never made pc
tato alcoholic factor.
How then can we complain at tht
price Of potatoes? In those section.
Of the country where large quantitie.
Of potatoes may be easily grown there
is duty to our country which We
must perform.
production depends upon market
ing and marketing is commerce. The
Chamber of Commerce of the United
States should recognize this and &c,
behind movement to double the po-
tato production. We ought to have
billion bushels CT potatoes every
year instead OF scant four hundred
million. The solution of this prob
lem depends upon the use which can
be made OF small and inferior pota-
toes.
1.-THE rotail price of good potatoes
may be maintained by proper grading
and starch mills and -four mills must
be directed and operated, perhaps at
a loss in the beginning. to take care
of the inferior surplus.
1--WE can use all of the potato
starch and flour we can make and
more too, and it must be remembered
also that the by-product pulp is good
stock feed, which is now so scarce
from other sources"

outset Of the war "donkey's head

the operations along the wide front,

ton.
According to unofficial dispatches
late in 1914, 1t took the Germans
months to capture this veritable fort
ress from the French. 1t is one of the
glorious, though heretofore unwritten,
chapters in American military history
that the doughboys swept over and
past this place in a few days and
wrested from the enemy without
great difficulty a position that might
we'll be considered invulnerable.
1t was on Thanksgiving day, 1915,
that the correspondent, then assigned
to the German armies, made his first
trip to the Argonne. The Germans
selected the "donkey's head" position
to exhibit as the most brilliant exam
pie of their military prowess. Nearly
three years later, the same cores
pondent could traverse the same ter
rain and marvel again, but this time
at the military efficiency which had
enabled the attacking forces to tear
the seemingly impregnable position
from the hands of the Germans.

x # x Regarding Price of Cotton This Spring

e REGULATORS in cotton do not g like to see the price ruling around 30 cents with the prospect of it going higher in the spring months. It would be to their interest to see it slump. At 15 or 20 cents specula- tors would have an opportunity of making big profits.
 A prominent New York broker rep resenting New England consumers snd Wall street manipulators, writes strongly against the price level ob- taining today. In his view, the cotton grower should be satisfied with IS cents.
 E. A. Calvin, former national presi- dent of the Farmers union, and one of the best informed men in the south on the cotton situation, in replying to the bearish clamor of speculators, reminds the public that the cotton grower had been for several years producing the stample at loss. Last fall, for the first time in recent his tory, the farmer got prices that were sufficiently remunerative for him to pay his debts and start good bank account.
 The cotton farmers are naturally op- posed to the effort manufacturers and spinners are making to have the gov ernment fix the price of their product. They are in favor of taking their chances on the law of supply and de- nland, and of leaving the market to work itself out on statistical basis.
 The time will come when the world will need an American crop of twenty million bales or more, but this year 8 fourteen million-bale production will be about right. There will be an increased acreage, but the farmer must not overdo it. The grower will realize more money on crop of mod crate size than on banner crop Intensive cultivation will prove far more business-like than large plant ing.
