WARM AND DRY
WEATHER NEED
OF NORTHWEST
Rains of Last Week Have De-
layed Harvest and May Re-
suit in Damage

Minneapolis, MINI, Aug. 23.-This
week finds harvesting practically COM
pleted throughout the northwest with
the exception of the territory west of
he Red River valley. Threshing. how
ever, has been very much delayed on
accoun of excessive rains, which have
been general.
Had the Gather been fair during
the last week we would now be in the
midst of our big early movement of
shocked-threshed grain. AS It is,
threshing has only been in isolated
spots and a good deal of the grain
that has been threshed should not
have been. The early threshed grain
that has found its way to the market
has on the whole been of very good
quality There is more or less smut
in the wheat, and barley and oats will
undoubtedly be stained from the rains,

PLAN SPRING GARDEN NOW
Agricultural Department Says There
Will Be Need for Large Pro-
duction in 1918.

wmhington.-Take thought of the
spring garden now.
Notwithstanding the large produc-
ton Of vegetables last. year and the
great volume put into cans and Jars
for winter use, there is nothing to in
dictate that there will not be equal
need for production and conservation
in 1918, says the United States depart
ment of agriculture.
Many gardens failed last year be-
cause of poor soil or poor preparation
or both.
This is the time in many sections
to break and to fertilize. Then in
the spring it will be easier to make
the seeded and the soil will contain
plant food.
For the average householder it will
be sufficient to prepare ground enough
to produce the home supply for eat
ing in the fresh state and for can
ming, drying or brining for use during
the following winter. Producing veg
etables for market should not be I'M
dertaken without full knowledge of
horticulture and sufficient capital and
equipment.

SHOULD EAT MORE POTATOES

need of grain for shipment to our SOL
dierS and to the soldiers and civilians
of other countries engaged with US in
the war against Germany.
The use of more potatoes for lunch
con should be simple matter, in the
opinion of specialists of the depart
ment of agriculture, since practically
all Americans like potatoes and since
there are numerous ways in which the
tubers may be prepared to avoid a
sameness in the diet. Potatoes, even
in their simplest forms-baked and
boiled make good luncheon dishes.
They may also be used for making a
variety of dishes, such as creamed
and escalloped potatoes, with or with
out cheese; stuffed potatoes, potato
croquettes, and so on. Combination
dishes, such as hash, stews, meat pies
with potato crust, and so on, in which
considerable amount of potato is
used with other foods, may constitute
practically. an entire luncheon, being
hearty enough to serve for the purpose
with little salad or fruit or sweets.

Increased Use Will Bring About
Saving of Grain.
Agricultural Department Suggests Tu-
bers Be Given More Prominent
Place in Luncheons.

Washington.-The eating of more
potatoes for supper, or for luncheon,
if the family is accustomed to have din
ner at night, is suggestion of the
United States department of agricul-
ture, in order that the tremendous crop
of tubers produced in the United
States this year may be utilized as
fully as possible and spoilage avoided.
Such increased use should, at the same
time, bring about a saving of grain,
since one common result of eating
more potatoes is the eating of less
wheat bread, which is a reasonable
suggestion when one remembers that
both of them are used as source of
starch in the diet This reduction in
grain consumption is desirable. the de-
partment points out. and there is great
