close Of the year. !.
The potato crop is q. seasonal crop. Under ordinary
conditions it can: be1skept successfully until into Ill
spring of the year following it's growth. With the aM.
vent of. warm, weather the stock dcteriorates rapidly
and one crop must be sold before another is grown
or it must be hauled to one dump. In this respect the
crop differs materially from any of the grain crops >
The daily reports show that the movement of po-
tatocs during the past month has been very light. Cold
weather has made handling hazardous, and lack OF
transportation facilities has also made shipping difficult
No relief from these conditions is in sight. Another
great storm is sweeping through the east. Railroad
service is bound to be crippled. and the fuel situation
lis likely to result in a lengthy embargo on general
freight shipments. IS.
There will he no hauling Of any large quantities, OF
potatoes from the farms Of the northwest for some
time. Where farmers have well built root cellars and
sufficient horse power to move large quantities rapidly
advantage may be taken of a mild day or two to rush
a few loads TO market. But where the crop is pitted
in the field this is scarcely practicable. Most of the po-
tatoes so stored must remain where they are for some
time yet. 1t is of Importance. however, to the grower
that he watch the markets closely and prepare himself
to ship promptly at whatever appeals to him as being
the best time.

THE PRESIDENT IS FOOD APPEAL

80 The proclamation on the food situation which the
president issued on Saturday night contains no n-u,
matter. 1t is.a forceful presentation in fresh form. of
material which has been laid before the public in the
past, and it is evident that too strong emphasis cannot
be placed on the features which the president brings
into fresh prominence. u 49,, >@ q .
1T is often said that food will win the war; Food
will not win the war. We might have surplus food
enough to last Europe for a thousand years. and still
the war would not be won. In order that the war may
be- won We must build ships. and straighten out our
tive manner, and produce shells, and explosives, and
guns, and overcoats, and shoes, and a vast lot of other
things. We must organize our forces, and Quit our fool
ishness. and focus all our energies on one point. But it
is a fact that while food alone will not win the war,
food is one Of the things without which the war cannot
be won.
The chief food of which our associates are in need
from us is wheat. If we consult our own appetites and
follow our usual habits, we will have not a bushel of
wheat to spare for anybody. If we will take just a little
pains We can save a lot of wheat for our neighbors and
be just as well fed ourselves. This is one part Of the
war WHICH we can and must carry on, at home: There is
needed the cooperation of the miners;f and OF the bakers,
and of the dealers. And when we get right down. to the
place where cooperation will be the most effective of
alt we will find that place right in the homes.

LAND VALUES

What is it that makes land Values.
/! The value of land, like the value of everything else,
is based on the revenue producing possibilities of the
land. Land that is as fertile as ever lay outdoors can
be bought in innumerable places for ten dollars an acre.
A barren acre in the heart of a great city is worth
millions. Why?
The acre of fertile land is situated far from market,
and while it will produce abundantly the cost of getting
the product to market is SO great that profitable returns
cannot be made on a higher valuation than ten dollars
The city acre is worthless for agricultural purposes
1t has no mining value. But because of it's location 1t
may have high value as a manufacturing site, or as a
distributing center. or for any other Of the Uses 10 which
city property is commonly put. 1t is capable Of being
made to yield a revenue on an immense valuation.
/. The value of city property is affected by the char
facter of the territory of which tho city is tina center
But the influence is not all on one side. Land within
a mile of Grand Forks is worth 500 an acre and up.
ward. Land five miles farther out is worth half as
much. One acre is just as good as the other. The
only difference is that one is closer to town than the
other. Obliterate the town and we destroy every dolla,
of the value which proximity to the town gives. ThE
applies to' the land surrounding every city and hamlet i
the state. One of the plans of a certain set of agitat tors
is to wipe out the towns by destroying the trade OF tn
people who live in them. Let the farmer figure on
what that will mean to him. 1t is worth thinking over

POTATOES

The national department Of agriculture urges the
Prompt sale of potatoes and their shipment from the
pisces where they are stored in quantities as soon as
shipment can be made. in order that room maybe made
fofatbe deliveries from farmers.
The potato crop OF last year was a very large one.
- ~ the northwest the yield was unsatisfactory, ranging
from perhaps a little better than half of the normal
crop to a total failure, according to local conditions. But
this applied only to a relatively small section Of the
|c6tfhtryt and elsewhere the crop was unusually large. =
The department estimates that up to December 81
not more than %one-third Of the marketable surplus of
crop had been moved. That does not mean that
Etw6-thirds Of tho crop is in the hands Of the growers

physical strength. If as a business

During all these discussions the personality Of Theo-
dore Roosevelt has doomed large before the American
people. In his numerous written articles Roosevelt has
been very free with, his criticism of the manner in
which the work of the war was being carried on. sug-
Welt should be made director Of munitions, and the sus-
gestion has appealed to very many who recall the
dynamic force with which TT. r." has handled every
job that he has undertaken. There has been a feeling
that if Roosevelt had hold of things they would go"
AS against this there has been the fear that if Roose-
Welt were placed in a position of such responsibility ne
would prove turbulent and insubordinate, and that he
would bring about conditions under which the last state
of the nation would be worse than the first. Whatever
the facts may be with reference to Roosevelt, the feel
ing in Washington seems TO. be that no war COUNCIL bill
can be passed, at least at this time, and that an oppor-
tunity will be given to try out the coordination of work
under the surveyor general before other steps are in
sisted on in congress-.
The North Dakota legislature met according to call
on the 23rd. The third day had not elapsed before It
the four days tentatively set at the beginning. The
message of the governor enumerated as subjects on
which legislative action was needed, the eight or nine
which had previously been listed in the dispatches.
Bills covering all these subjects were introduced at
once. In one instance delay was caused by the action
of the house in passing a seed grain bill in such defec.
tive form that the senate could not make the necessary
amendments in time to adjourn on Saturday night, and
in this as in some other matters there has been evidence
of a desire on the part Of certain league members to
make political medicine at the expense of the non league

REMARKABLE PROPHECIES.

There has just, been received a circular advertising
the remarkable prophecies of a professional forecaste:
in which are enumerated a number of important things
that are to occur in 1918. The prophet lists a lot of
things which he says he predicted, and which came to
men, disasters by land and sea, war events, and a lot
of others. :..
A glance over the sample predictions for the cur
rent year reveals something of the mans methods. The
bulk of the predictions are couched in such general
terms that a wide margin Of safety is maintained. and
the predictions are such that any newspaper reader with
ordinary intelligence would feel perfectly safe in hazard
which the prophet thought he would take a chance. The
result is bound to be that the predictor will score a very
high percentage of hits. Most people who are inclined
to pay attention to these things will be so interested in
the hits that they will ignore the misses. Hence the fell
low will better his reputation with each year.
Perhaps these takers do little harm. Superstitious
people probably need something on which to exercise
matter. But there is contained in a little note at the
bottom of the last page of the circular, a note to the
effect that personal advice and instruction is given.
