Relative to the compulsory grad
ing and inspection of potatoes, beg
to advise that such inspection was
made compulsory by the federal gov
eminent. and enforced thru the fed
eral state food administrator, and
the duties Of appointing inspectors
and the carrying on Of the work was
placed upon this department by the
federal state food administrator.
However, we have just now been in
ormed by Mr.. Bicknell's office that
The division of foods and vegetables
has been abolished by the U. S. food
Therefore the in
spection and grading of potatoes is
no longer compulsory in this state,
but will be continued for the bene-
fit of those desiring such state in
spection. grading and certification.
Inasmuch as compulsory potato in
spection is no longer required,
growers can ship either with such
inspection or without 1t.
Very truly yours,
State Farm Markets Department.

Deputy Director.

SOLDIERS LETTERS

This interesting letter was written
to Mr.. and Mrs. Edgar Hales from
their son Arden, who is with the
fighting forces in France:
Somewhere in France.
My Dear Folks:
am having a h Of time
chewing on beans and working all
over, never once in the same place
on such work as section gang and
railroad hauling rock In q buggy
Rolling and shoveling dirt and level
ing up ground for U. s. mess halls
to be built on.
am feeling fine and would feel
much better IL they would give me
a return ticket. I have few SOU
yeniers to send home but won't do
it now as we may be shipped home
soon.
We started moving on the eigh-
teenth and am about ESQ miles from
where we landed, this is a much
prettier country here; 1t is small
town and the whole thing is kept
policed by soldiers. Leaving here we
Travelled in box cars of about forty
by eight feet and forty men and
provisions for three days in each
car. At night we just dropped in the
bottom of the cars like bunch OF
dogs with just our overcoats and
blankets to keep US warm. This is
the only transportation the govern
80 can VIZ will.

ing to put up with IL for we think
we may be home before long. It
won't be before Christmas. When
we moved down here we got OF the
train had supper and marched up
town and slept in the lofts of barns,
the next day we packed up and with
full packs marched down here. I
don't know how long we will be here
or when we will go.
1t sure would be great If | could
talk this language. Everything
seems to be old fashioned here. All
the buildings are stone or rock with
slate shingles. The climate is about
like it is in Camp Fremont. Most
all the trees are green all the year
round. The streets are so narrow
it is almost impossible for two bug
gies or carts to pass, as carts are
about, the only things used here.
Some are pushed by men or women
and some by horses or mules. I
saw a yoke of oxen shod at the
blacksmiths. Most all farm work
is done by women as the greater
part Of the men have been killed in
battle For my part wouldn't
trade one of the lava rocks of my
farm for all of France if had to
i've here. 1t probably would be al
light if one didn't know of better
country.
| am writing this by candle light
en- my straw mattress on the floor
n my room on Main street.
May God ever bless you till my
return is my sincere desire.
Your loving son and brother,
ARDEN d. HALE.

A few farmers in Thomas got to-
gether last week and talked over the
hardship that was being placed on
the farmers thru the potato inspec-
ton law or rules as they were being
administered.
Some of the farmers claim that
as much as 60 per cent of their crop
is culls, under this inspection and
all blamed the inspector, rather than
the law, stating that the inspection
was unreasonable and certain to
ruin the potato industry here. One
of the farmers who had bought a
car or two of potatoes for Salt Lake
people refused to abide by the in
spection and resort his car and was
ordered to buy them as number two
grade, which he says he did, but
paid number one prices ana sold for
number one prices and was compli-
mented by the purchasers on the
quality of the potatoes. 1t was de-
cided that If this was good law
the abuse in it's administration had
rendered it a failure. And that the
thing to do was to call the farmers
together and make a move for It's
repeal. 1t was argued that in the
meantime Paul H. Alfred should
write for information to B. H. ALL
red of the farm markets bureau.
Harvey Alfred was sick when the
letter reached its destination but
the reply of Mr.. Donavan, his deputy,

With the appearant intention of de-
stroying entirely every village and
town between there and Paris. The

seemed to be bursting in each town

machine was capable of making
about seventy miles per hour he just
opened the valve and rode some!
