April 5.-wanted Half bill

VXTAsHINGToN, April 5.-Wanted: Half bill
Wv lion bushels of potatOes
That is line which the United States
government is trying to impress upon the mind of
every farmer and every amateur gardener in the
country. Perhaps half billion is little too large
figure, but produced 442,53 900 bushels of
potatoes in 1917, that the half billion mark is
not far ahead.
That potato crop of 1917 was the largest in the
history of the United States. Likewise, it pre-
coded in 1916 by the smallest crop in many years,
resulting in a potato famine which all remem-
Der well. Crops have strong tendency to happen
that way-a large and small one alternating.
The low prices brought about by the bumper crop
discourage the farmers to that particular prod
uct, and they plant something else. This is
of the workings of that law of supply and de-
mand' which formerly supposed to be as funda-
mental as the law of gravity, and which we are
compelled to break every day. The only
son you can now get sugar for less than twice its
normal price is that the law of supply and demand
has been suspended so far as it is concerned. The
is true of coal, and in lesser degree of many
other commodities. The government is now get
ting ready to break the law of supply and demand
with regard to meats. The economic and bust
law, which war has made necessary, is that
each man is entitled to share at fair price what
the nation has of any commodity.
The food administration will doubtless make
this law apply to potatoes insofar 1t If
bumper crop is raised, they will see that the farm
get fair price for it, and if the crop is small
one, they will see that the dealer does not get an
unfair price for it.
IN 1910, Wnen Lne- potato crop was only 900
5000 bushels, a little half of the 1917
crop, the average price paid at the farm S1.46
bushel In 1917 it only 1922 bushel. No
wonder the farmers prefer small crop. Under
the benefcent operation of the law of supply and
demand the more you produce, the less you get
for it.
This year, however, the farmer may feel con-
fdent of a good price for all he can produce For
thing, the food administration will do all in
it's power to get it, and for another, the shortage
of wheat will create enormous need for potatoes
Already is being sold
food administration is publishing recipes for max
ing bread with potatoes and potato -four. The po-
tato is about to occupy a much larger place than
before in the American diet
For potatoes starchy food and furnish
much the same food elements the cereals. They
furnish these elements in a much smaller proper
ton to bulk than the grains because potatoes con-
tain so much water. Potatoes also lack the keep
ing qualities of grains For both of the reasons,
potatoes the logical substitute for wheat when
wheat must be exported now. Among ways to
win the war, then, list raise and eat potatoes"
The potato normally makes up about 1S per
cent Of our diet. 1t could proftaby form much
larger percentage. 1t should, during the coming

year, take the place of many million bushels of
grain.
grains: that is that it be taken directly from
the field to the table without passing through any
manufacturing process. Potatoes and beans are
the two food staples which anyone VINO owns Dlt
of land profitably produce for himself. He
can of course, produce abundant fresh vegetables,
but these, while important contain little nour1sh-
mert. 1t would be out of the question for him to
raise grain because of the complicated processes
of harvesting and milling which all grains must
pass through before they can be used as food. But
potatoes have merely to be dug and DolIeo4 hence
their Importance a crop for the man who farms
in his backyard or in vacant lot.
AS you easily find by consulting the recipes
published by the food administration potatoes can
be baked into bread, cakes and cookies, and used
for making the crust of meat pies. 1t is possible
for potatoes to appear on your table IN three forms
not more than one of which would be recognized
by the person who has met the spud only in its
more usual forms
The potato ranks sixth among the food crops
of this country but it will very likely take
important place before this war is over. The
United States is especially fovared potato
country because it is possible within year to OBJ
tain two crops of this important food plant. Early
in the summer comes what is generally called the
truck crop from the southern states and California;
while the winter or storage crop is produced in the
north. No other country in the world can produce
two crops of potatoes, which supplement each other
as do ours. These two crops also interdepend
ent, for the southern crop is raised largely from
northern seed, and is therefore dependent in some
degree upon the quality and size of the preceding
northern crop. Also, the quantity of the north
ern-grown potatoes which remains on the market
when the southern crop comes in, has an impor-
tant effect upon the price received for the latter;
that in years of abundance, owing once more to
good old supply nd-demand, these two crops so
perfectly timed by nature to be supplementary
come into competition with one another
The department of agriculture has spent much
time and money teaching the farmer how to know
whether he shall plant a large crop of potatoes or
a small one The difficulty is that large area
must always be planted if we are to be insured
against a shortage; for weather, insects and the
labor supply make all the difference between a
large crop and small one, on the same area
Hence, in the past, farmers have been compelled
to feed a large part of their bumper potato crops
to hogs and chickens, while people in cities were
hungry This is the kind of stupidity that ma
ton at cannot afford.

THE THIRD LOAN.
BY H. Addington Bruce.

By H. Addington Bruce.
IT. HE campaign for the third Liberty Loan is
under way. 1t should have speedy and con-
spicuous success
Moral well as material considerations require
that it be notably successful 1t is not simply a
question of raising a large amount of money to aid
in the winning of the .a...
1t is still more a question of concretey demon
strating to the world the faith of the American peo
pie in the justice of their cause and their enthusiast
tic unity in support of that cause.
The American people, through their president
have affirmed that their entrance into the great war
was for the purpose of making the world safe for
democracy.
They have affirmed their belief that the basic
principles Of democracy will be utterly swept
in the event of German victory.
They have affirmed their intention of defending,
with all they have and are" the democratic ideals
Such are the affirmations of the American peo-
pie. The third Liberty Loan is test of the SIN
CERITY of these affrmations.
And it is vitality significant a test that
American who is a true American can afford to re-
frain from subscribing to this loan. His failure to
subscribe would be blow at the good faith Of his
country.
Even if times are hard with him-and the times
hard with many Americans-he MUST find
way to subscribe something to the Liberty Loan.
If fortune has favored him with material wealth
and many Americans have been generously ia
vored by fortune-it is even more his duty to sub
scribe up to the limit Of his financial power
But, whether rich poor, be he an American of
the right Sort he will be glad eager and proud to
cooperate in nsuring heavy oversubscriFtion for
He will realize that the eyes Of the entire civil
lied world the United States.
Friendly eyes are watching, friendly hearts are
prayerfully hoping that the Americans will demon
strate by nationwide action that they really mean
what they have affirmed.
And eyes which not friendly are searching
keenly for signs of weakness vacillaton and falsy
in America
Hard cruel lips waiting for the slightest
pretext to shape themselves in ugly sneers at an
America which at a crucial moment fails to support
it's words by deeds.
Let the loan fail, or be only moderately success
full and the world will ring with the sardonc laugh
ter of the ravagers of Belgium the destroyers OF the
Lusitania. the hehounds that have harr1ed north
ern France
Remember this when a canvasser for the Liberty
Loan approaches you.
Nay do not wait for canvasser to approach
vol Hasten of your own accord to fill in a sub
scription blank for as large an amount OF money as
YOU can lend for your governments needs.
To do this may sacrifice, great sacrifice
But what Of that?
Is any sacrifice too great when THE GOOD
NAME as well as the safety Of your nation is at
stake?

BILE as yet is that we have had no opportunity to
develop air fighters. To fly and to fly and observe
is thing but to fly and fight is very different
thing, indeed. Our men know the theory Of 1t, but
get here from America. We cannot ask France to
turn over to us fighting planes she may need upon
her own front"
AS yet the Scissors sector has been the most
active There is always fighting on the Chemin

They have raided and have been raided; they have
been gassed and bayoneted and they have repaid in
