the war Is making usual. The
high commanders have made US all
recognize how important It is that

The weather has been favorable for
the potato harvest and this section Of
the state is marketing a bountiful
crop. The average is about $50 BUSH
els to the acre, where the spuds were
taken proper care of and in the Minot
district, good many hundred bushels
are being shipped. The growers are
not getting enough for their product
here at home at the present time. The
Independent understands that the
buyers at Surrey, Sawyer and some
Of the other towns are buying the po-
tatoes on the track at around fifty
and sixty cents a bushel This price
is too low. Considering present
wages and conditions, farmer cam
not handle potatoes at a profit at such
low price. Every bushel of pota
toes a farmer digs is worth a dollar
and they will get that price, or more,
the Independent is advised, if they
will only hold them long enough. Po-
tatoes in Kansas City are bringing
$l.75 a bushel. 1t certainly does not
cost dollar bushel to ship pota-
toes from Minot to Kansas City.

lease fighters for the army, ought to
have brains enough to mark a ballot.

The land remains very dry, too dry
for fall blowing, the farmers tell US,
yet several are doing little blowing
as they say the war has left them
so short of hands that they must get
some work done this fall or there will
be a big shortage of acreage next
season. If one could bank on plenty
of rain next year, dry fall blowing
might amount to something, but with
a season like that of 1918, the farm
err who sat down last fall and did no
blowing, was good deal of money
ahead of the game.

everybody reports a big gain. While
the harvest in this vicinity was only
about so per cent normal, the value
Of the crop in dollars and cents is
perhaps greater than any ever grown
heretofore. Nearly every farmer will
pay expenses or a little more and
some Of the more fortunate ones have
made fair money. The Milot mer-
chants have laid in very large and
complete stocks at lower prices than
those now asked by the wholesale
houses and they have marked their
goods so that they are receiving the
ordinary profit. They are thus able
to compete with the mail order houses
very successfully, hence the splendid
trade they are enjoying.
