Potato Production
Is Nearly Enough To
Meet Home Uses

The potatoes used in this country
are almost entirely those raised in the
United States, says the bureau Of
crop estimates of the United States
department Of agriculture. The aver
age crop Of 1905-1914 was 343, 391,-
600 bushels, and the crops of 1915.
1915, and 1917 were 359,721, 900,
respectively.
OF potatoes produced abroad, this
country's consumption in the trade
and crop year beginning with July,
lS49, was $4,000 bushels, and the
quantity had risen to only $4,000
bushels on the average in 1866-1874.
In the next ten years the average
yearly consumption Of imported pe-
tatoes was 2,158,0 900 bushels, followed
1S85-1894, the highest average Of any
ten-year period.
Now and then a year Of deficient
production has come which Invited
relatively large importations. of pota-
toes, mostly from the United King
dom and Germany, and 1911 was the
year of greatest crop. shortage, with
imports Of 13,729,0o bushels. Usual
than 500, 900 bushels. In ten-year
averages imported potatoes have
never been as high as Q per CEN OF
the consumption, and in more recent
years they have been about l per
cent
While foreign potatoes have been
arriving, domestic potatoes have been
departing in somewhat greater guam
titles in a majority of the years, so
that 1t is fair to say that, although
in the sum Of many years we have
imported more potatoes than we have
exported. the preponderant fact in a
majority of years has been a small
national surplus of potatoes.
Conspicuous increase in the per
capita production of potatoes has
followed the average Of 20 bushels
in 1~S85-1SS4. In the following ten
bushels, and in 1s05-1914I it was 3.s
bushels.
Per capita Consumption increased
from 2.ss bushels in 1se6-1s74 to s.25
bushels in the following ten-year
period. In 1ss5-1904 the per capita
average was 3.46 bushels; in 1906
1914, 3.77 bushels; in 1915, a.55
bushels; in 1916. 2.s2 bushels and in
E1s17, 4.19 bushels. In the last-men-
the per family consumption was II
bushels; in 1916, 1927 bushels, and In
1917,G18.9 bushels, the largest Of rec
ord.
The per capita and per family con-
sumptions include potatoes used for
all purposes-not only az food for hu-
man beings, but for seed, for live
stock feed, for potato starchj and 9TH
of waste. About 10 per cent Of the
potato crop is used annually for seed
and starch; for the remainder Of the
consumption, the per family average
was about 15.2 bushels in 1~e05-1914,

DISARMAMENT !

wednesday, N,

Problems connected with the policing
and provisioning Of Russia and the
Central Powers hinge primarily upon
the immediate disarmament Of the
German fleet, the Russian warships
held by the Germans and those under
control Of the Ukrainian government
in the Black sea. Warships which
are held by the Bolshevists in the
Finnish gulf must also be put out of

eagefness by Entente officials who are
anxious to prevent starvation among
the bel1igerents and to restore nor

among the suffering millions.
Speedy action is necessary for the
relief Of regions adjacent to the Bal
tic sea as many Of it's ports will be
ice bound within two months and the
congested and disrupted condition OF
the railways makes relief by land
routes uncertain. The United States
and the Entente powers have shown
no disposition to deal WITH the Boil

mains in the control of the Soviet
therefore, there seems to be little
hope Of feeding Moscow, Petrograd
and other large cities there.
If the Russian Bolshevist move

Finland, should be successful, Vim
land would also be placed temporarily
beyond relief. Food conditions are
more favorable in Ukraine and in

Interest to Women
War Council Asks
That Work Go On

n. B. Finch chaifmsna Of the sSRed;
Cross county chapter Of the American
Red Cross. received the following
message yesterday from F. T. Heffel-
finger, division manager. Of the North
ern division:
1.-THE following message from the
war council of the American; Red
Cross has just been received at North
ern division headquarters:
"On February. 10, last year, nearly
six weeks. before. the u. s., declared
war, national Red Cross headquarters
advised its chapters to prepare for

win this war and to relieve the suffer-
ing growing out Of 1t, constitutes
something of which every American
citizen has a right to be proud. Every
American Red Cross worker must feel
a sense of gratitude In having had a
share in it all.
"The moment is now come to pre-
pare for peace. Actual peace may
come at any moment; 1t may be de-
ferredE for some time. Until peace is
really here there car be no relaxation
in the Red Cross effort incident to
active hostilities.

sands of them are sick and wounded.
Owing to the shortage in shipping, It
may takesa year Of more to bring our
boys home from France. Whatever
the time, our protecting arms must be
about them and their families owe

before the normal life Of peace can

tells them there ts no more work for
them to do in the war. Let every
Red Cross member and worker show
our returning soldiers and sailors that
to care for their health, welfare and
happiness, we are enlisted for no less
a period than they are.
1.-The cessation Of war will reveal a
picture Of misery such as the world
has never seen before, especially in
many countries which cannot help
themselves. The American people will
expect the Red Cross to continue to
act as their agent in repairing broken
spirits and broken bodies. Peace
terms and peace conditions will de-
termine how we may best minister to
the vast stricken areas which have
been narrowed by war andein this
great act of mercy, the heart and
spirit\ of the American people must
continue to be modified through the
American Red Cross.
ION behalf Of the war council, we
accordingly ask each member Of our
splendid body of workers throughout
the land to bear in mind the solemn
obligation which rests upon each one
to carry on We cannot abate one
instant in our efforts or in our spirit.
There will be an abundance of work
to do, and specific advices will, be
given, but wen at the moment of
peace, let no Red Cross worker falter.
"Our spirits must now call us to
show hat it is not the a of cannon
nor the blood Of our own alone that
directs our activities, but that a great
people will continue to respond great
ly and freely to Its obligation and OPP
portunity to serve mankind"

UNITED WAR WORK )
CAMPAIGN DOES NOT
/ INCLUDE RED CROSS

Because Of the misunderstanding
regarding the organizations which are
taking part in the United War Fund
campaign, H.. B. Finch, chairman of
the Grand Forks county chapter of
the Red Cross, has made this state
ment: =
1.-The Red Gross, while urging the
most cordial support and cooperation
on the part of all its members, does
not participate in the United War
Fund campaign. Itin quite evident
hat there has been misunderstanding
in many places on this point. The
Red Cross is amply equipped with
funds with which to take care of its
needs until the late spring of next
year, at which time a campaign for
funds for its relief work may be
necessary.
at is but fair to the organizations
in the United War Fund that the
public should understand that contri-
buttons next year are exclusively for
their work It is also fair to the pub
lie that the people should know that
provision for the needs of the Red
Cross during the coming year is not
taken care of during this campaign,
The Red Cross does not authorize
anyone to carry on next week a cam
paign for funds in its name or for its
work, but It does urge the utmost
possible generosity toward the United
War Fund campaign for the seven
r~ecreational organizations whose
budgets have been approved by the
national government"
