Bureau.
Potato Prices.

Are you interested? Listen.
Potatoes are bought and sold
now only on a graded basis.
They are graded according to
size and quality by U. S. stand
ards. No use trying to get top
price for No. 2 stuff, and if you
have No. stuff it will not have
to be graded in with No. 2 at a
medium price. Rigid enforce
ment of the grading rules are
to our advantage and. to every
one else as we'll. To some extent
they will save disputes on cars
at the other end. they will save
freight and congestion on a lot
of bruised and decayed and in
ferior potatoes. They will i'm
prove the market value of what
we have to sell and consequently
result in a larger consumption of
potatoes.
These grades are about one
year old. A few sections in
eastern Virginia and Florida
have been grading for several
years. About four years ago the
u. S. Bureau of Markets set out
to find if it would be possible to
establish grades for all parts of
the country and what they
should be. As a result the u. S.
Department Of Agriculture joint
ly with the Food Administration
were able to recommend. last
September, two grades known as
u. S. Grade No. | and u. S.
Grade No, 2.
U. S, Grade No. includes all
smooth medium sized potatoes
that pass over an inch and seven
eighth screen. A 5 per cent vari-
alton from this is allowed,
A car containing 80 per cent
No. 2 and 20 per cent No. can
he shipped provided it is so la
beled. But it does not pass as
No. potatoes.
u. s. Grade No. 2 inludes the
larger. rougher potatoes and the
smaller ones down to one and
one-half inch screen.
All licensed shippers must
grade according to these stand
ards.
Our field run of former years
has included small. large, clean.
dirty, diseased. cut and decayed
stock. Impossible to market
them all together. satisfy the
purchaser and secure the maxi
mum price.
Everyone who has the future
of the potato industry at heart
should encourage the application
of the u. S. standards. 1t takes
but one observation to convince
a person that only when potatoes
are graded in accordance with

A Subscribers Opinion Of Our
Governor
Governor

had the pleasure of hearing
our Governor, ]. A. A. Burn
quist, speak at Pine City, Sept.
IA. II was the first opportunity
that have had to see and hear
the man, and much as ! admired
him before | must say that my
admiration for him. our Cover
nor. increased very considerably.
To look at, he is q man just
like you or l; nothing about his
person or behavior to indicate
that he is the peer Of the state.
But when he starts to speak.
he grows big.
He has ideals and he has con-
victions. and he is sure Of him
self. He knows where he stands
and why he stands there.
He has no intentions whatever
of favoring a class, party, or a
clique. His desire is to govern
all the people of the state Of
Minnesota in the best way for
their own good. to govern the
state in a way that will further
prosperity at home and the
cause of right and liberty the
world over.
He is not a democrat, but he
is certain that we are very for
tunate in having a Wilson at the
head Of our country these trying
days.
He is a man with will, with
a thoro knowledge of affairs
pertaining to his office. and
when he once has formed an
opinion he has to be shown con-
clusively. why he should change
his mind before he will do it.
He is a man of convictions,
fearing neither friend nor foe.
He does things as he feels they
should be done. leaving it to the
people Of the commonwealth to
commend or condemn his acts.
He is known quantity. If
we elect him to succeed himself
as Governor of Minnesota, in
November. we have nothing to
fear. We know how he will gov
ern the state. II won't be an ex-
pertinent.
If we select another man, we
do not know. and this is no time
for experiments.
Governor J. A. A. Burnquist
will. am sure. do the best
thing for the people of this state
that he knows how. and ! be-
lieve that he is well qualified for
knowing what serves us best.
| have not always been in ac-
cord with the Governor: but af-

size and quality into fixed stand
ard grades, will a fair trading ba-
sis have been established and
mutual understanding, conf
dence and satisfaction brought
about between buyers and sell
lers.
One point that all potato rails
ers should get clear is that po-
tatoes are graded and sold ac-
cording to what consumers want
and not according to what an in
dividual farmer happens to raise.
We have reached the point
where it is up to us to produce
what the market demands and
stop expecting the market to
take any old thing we happen to
bring. The quicker Pine county
gets a reputation for delivering
the goods the better it will be
for our business.
County Potato Show Oct. 25-26.
Get your samples at digging
time. You cannot select show
potatoes from the bin. They
will be bruised or covered SO
that you cannot find them.
Follow the digger ahead of the
pickers and carefully lay aside
the best ones that weigh 7 to 9
ounces that are of the right type,
and that are free from disease
and bruises. Your whole field
may not contain more than a
bushel or two of these. The lit
tie trouble to pick them out in
the field and handle them to the
cellar without bruising will in
sure a first class lot from which
to get your half bushel sample.
Do this now at digging time.
Several communities are already
arranging to bring their potatoes
together at some neighbors to
meet with the County Agent
who will explain the types that
should be shown.
At the Farm Bureau office in
Hinckley is an exhibit of the
eight standard varieties grown
in Pine County. If you want an
idea of the right type call and
