Local Farmer SolDes
Problem of Utilizing
Supply Of Spuds

Like many other farmers in. the
northwest F. M. Madsen residing
southeast of Sank Centre had sur
plus of potatoes this spring. He en-
deavored to dispose of them but the
merchants could not offer any relief.
AS the potato does not amount to
much as fertilizer. and is a poor
stock food the situation was rather
discouraging not only for Mr.. Madsen
but many other farmers who went in
heavy on the war garden plan last
year. Mr.. Madsen states that he
thought of SO different way Of getting
rid of his potatoes but none of them
offered solution. The spud became
veritable nightmare to him. Both
Mr.. and Mrs. Madsen having had a
slight knowledge of the manufacture
of potato flour in the old country they
decided to experiment. Machinery es-
pecially adapted for the work had to
be manufactured. The first made was
too light and went to pieces under the
strain. The next one was improved
upon In many ways and made heavy
enough to be operated by the gasoline
engine on the farm. Talk is cheap
but accordig to Mr.. Madsen it takes
lots Of hard and sloppy work to manu-
facture potato -four, but he succeed
in manufacturing so pounds Of as
choice flour as can be secured any
where.
In the course Of the conversation
with the Herald relative to his sue
cess in manufacturing potato -four Mr..
Madsen advanced the suggestion that
the citizens of Sank Centre become in
terested in the manufacture of the
-four on large scale. He is convinced
that the plan is feasible and would be
profitable not only for the stockhold-
ers and farmers but would go long

Government wiu Aid
Threshennen in Caring
for this Years Crop

The grain corporation under the
United States food administration has
perfected in each state an organiza-
ton to be known as the grain thresh-
ing division. This division is headed
and directed by Capt. K. D. Hequem-
bourg with offices in New York City.
The work is carried on in each state
under a director appointed by the
state food administrator. L. B. Bassett
Of the Department of Agriculture,
University of Minnesota. Each county
will have an organization consisting of
the county food administrator, the
county agent and a practical thresher-
man selected by these men. The coun-
ty organization will b eunder the SUI
pervision of Mr.. Bassett. s
The general plan includes: "a
assisting threshermen to secure re-
pairs and get their machines I'M shape
for the fall run; (2) helping thresher-
men to obtain the proper kind and
amount of fuel at the proper time; (3)
emphasizing to threshermen the i'm
portance Of keeping machines in re-
pair, properly adjusted, and running
at the proper speed; (4) encouraging
good shocking and stacking, and the
raking of the fields where the loss
warrants the work; (5) assisting in
securing the proper amount of labor
to operate the machine during the
threshing season.
Printed suggestions and outlines for
work will be issued to the county
leaders who are asked to hold meet
ings of threshermen to discuss the
work wherever practical. Threshing
machine companies are practically all
offering assistance. Correspondence
as to threshing stacking and saving
of grain should be directed to l.. B.

ASQUITH JOINS MOVE

Hopes Wilson Visit viii Glue
League of Nations Start.

LONDON, Dec. Herbert II. Asquith.
formerly Prime Minister. speaking at
Rochdale, Lancashire, to-day ranged
himself alongside those who have de-
clared that the men responsible for
the war and the atrocities shall receive
adequate punishment.
The allied Powers, he said had an
nounced their joint intention of sum
moning the late heads of the German
Government and State before some
kind of international tribunal. There
was broad distinction between
errors, even lying and wicked errors,
of policy and deliberate and syste-
matte infraction of rules which rest
for their sanction not only on interna-
tional usage but on the instincts and
dictates OF humanity. Such were
some OF the incidents which attended
the devastation of Belgian territory,
the sinking of passenger ships and the
almost incredible brutality OF the NAL
treatment of allied prisoners of war.

done" declared Mr. Asquith. land that
not only the forms, but the spirit Of
justice-the melting out to the wrong
doer of his due, not less and not more
should be scrupulously observed"
Referring to the significance of the
visit OF President Wilson to Europe,
Mr.. Asquith said that for permanent
purposes the world was a new one.
These purposes, he contended. would
not only not have been achieved, bat
there would have been no advance
toward their achievement. unless he
fore the President returned league
OF nations had begun to be translated
from formulation TO fact.
In his judgment the best security
against the dangers which beset the
coming conference was the main
tenance in its fullest and freest sense
of real understanding between the
Allies and the United States.
