the VesIe river line. These men made
no especial efforts To advance, but
successfully held on to all their posi-
lions, despite the great activity Of the
enemy artillery. Their aviators d'd
much excellent work during the weeh
especially in the line of bombing. This
seems destined TO be their particular
duty and it will prove to be of ut
most Importance. The arrival NJ the
front of American-made planes caused
great rejoicing In the army.
In the Woevre the Americans, by
quick work with rife and grenade,
frustrated attempts to raid their

Moreover. the only effect Of the

Prussian monarchy and still less does it

can only be done by formal revision oi

cordjng To fact, and all tho empcror'a

POTATOES ARE MOST
VALUABLE FOR FOOD
EAT POTATOES. CARLOADS

Not freight car, necessarily. but
motor al When your drive into the
country-you who live in potato sec
tions - bring back a sack or two in
your car Then eat them, many ways,
every day, several times a day. Not
an idea that will save the country, but
it will help save the big food reserve
that will o begin to sprout if it
isn't eaten.
Let this fact sink in deep: Unless
we increase our consumption of po-
tatoes markedly within the next few
weeks, says the department Of agri-
culture. there will be a loss of much
wheat-replacing food. If that hap
pens, farmers may think we don't
want so many potatoes and not grow
enough this year. Americans ought
not to allow that sort of food disas-
ter to occur.
There are many reports that where
potatoes are substituted entirely for
bread even people who hitherto found
them heavy, digest them easily. ]
have found this to be the case, and
now believe DIR. Kellogg, who always
insisted that potatoes gave people dis
comfort because they eat them in con-
bination with other starches, consum

and other products. F Baackes, the
the relief Of potato growers, who next
season might suffer from a surplus
Through their expert agricultural and
mechanical staff they have devised
potato drying machinery for flakes
and other products. F Baackes, the
vice president, has charge Of the de-
partment and a letter addressed to
him. American Steel Wire, Chicago,
will bring information. With the in
urance of potato dryers the great
handicap of being unable to market
potatoes will be largely removed, an
immense amount of freight saved and
the potato can be carried as cereals
without fear of rot, frost or heating.
Some potato growers where frost
comes early have asked if the frozen
tubers can be dried for cattle feed. /
think not if really frozen, but what we
call chilled potatoes with frost nips
here and there could probably be saved
as wholesome cattle feed. There is no
reason so far as can be seen why even
badly frozen potatoes cannot be
ensiled, though it would probably need
a heavier dose of the Tactic acid corn
meal culture to produce a sweet fer
ment. This is not necessarily So, but
the Tactic acid has for years been very
/ successfully used in France to offset
acids injurious to sheep and espe-
cially to lambs.
The subject of potato drying has
excited an enormous amount OF at
t~ention, but not one bit more than it
deserves, because nothing could be
more important alike to consumers
and growers. l place consumers first
because at present potatoes are the
only crop that can be sufficiently. in
creased to meet all our needs, unless
we are to rely entirely on corn, and
it is by no means a new thing to see
the potato in this role of life saver,
though we in this country are more
familiar with the other point of view
when the failure of this crop caused
the Irish famine.
Given a fair price and a certainty
of market, potato growers can indie
finitely increase the crop. although our
districts suitable to potato growth are
comparatively limited compared with
the acreage of the United States.
Where climatic and soil conditions are
suitable the crop can be fully kept up
to our needs if the price becomes as
staple as that of the cereals, which
can be done when they are treated for
storage.
When there is a surplus, as there
must be in good potato years when
the plants flourish exceedingly, stock
will consume the surplus at a price
that will at least insure the grower
from the disastrous losses he has so
often suffered. 1t is no e~xaggeration
to say that the advent Of potato dry
ers in this country too long delayed
will mark an epoch in agriculture as
great in its way as the recognition of
alfalfa, silage and other things which
we now regard as the sheet anchors
of agriculture.
