The Potato
Situation AS
1t Appears

Oue 10 the TACT taat the acre
age of Irish potatoes in the
Southern States has more than
dou bled, and too, that there are
thirty million bushels of old pota-
toes in Northern storage plants
which will have to be passed to
the consumer in the next two or
three months. as they can not
be held over, this increased acre
age, with the large quantity of
old potatoes, makes the potato
situation rather acute IN this
section.
This county has an increase
of acreage this year; not nearly
so great. however, as some of
the Southern counties. The
high prices that have been ex-
pected will not be had with our
spring crop of potatoes. New
potatoes, nun Der one Trium phs,
are selling right around one dol
lar per bushel, while mum Der
two's are bringing seventy cents
per bushel. The chances are
that the prices of new potatoes
will run still below these figures.
What are we to do with this
enormous yield of potatoes? We
should put forth every effort to
handle our potato crop In way
to eliminate any possible waste.
Potatoes should DE we'll matured
before digging. and handled
carefully to avoid bruising, and
at the same time, avoid leaving
potatoes in the sun, for these
two agencies along with bacteria,
cause enormous losses.
The surplus potatoes should
be stored away IN some cool,
dry place in loft or in crib,
or if this place is not ample,
they can be stored under houses.
All trash and rubbish should
be removed, and if convenient,
place a good layer of sand under
the house and spread the pota-
toes over this area. Woven wire
should be put around the house
to keep the chickens, etc. out.
Notice from time to time and
pick out decayed potatoes; and
IN case the loss is very great,
air Stacked lime may be effective
by sprinkling lightly over the
potatoes. Dry sand is some
times used. Put layer of sand
and layer of potatoes. BY so do
ing, you ger larger quantity of
potatoes stored IN small space.
Business men and saw mill
people can likely handle por-
ton of the crop. We should eat
all the potatoes that we can.
Eat potatoes three times a day,
as this is one of the cheapest
foods on the market, and we
should utilize the crop, taking
the place of some of fhe other
foods that can be shipped abroad

"The demands for beef for our

hand we have enough increased

direct service to our Armies and
the Allies if our people would,

place on their menus or serve
boiled beef more than two meals
weekly, beefsteak more than one

SUIT TO RECOVER $4,000
Echo of land Deals Alleged TO be
Fraudulent and Illegal.

An echo Of the case wherein the
state accused two men OF trading
fictitious property in Arkansas for
Tulsa city property and then SELL
ing It, came up in district court yes
terday when Mrs. f. irving, for her
self, two children and husband filed
suit for the recovery of $4,000 from
S f. Price, Sidney Lanstord, i. r..
Houston. S. +. Pearce, NJ. E. Earns
and Pufus A Underwood.
In the petition Mrs. Irving states
that she and family are owners or
the lease on a certain hotel property
In West Tulsa and that they own the
furniture contained therein. c. A.
Irving, the husband, is in the United
States army, leaving Mrs. Irving to
run the hotel. 1t is stated that the
defendants represented themselves
the owners of various pieces of real
estate in Arkansas and in Tulsa, and
persuaded Mrs. Irving TO trade with
them SO far she has not received
anything remotely resembling a
deed to the land she thought she was
trading for, although she believes
the defendants have attempted to
sell the property she traded them.
This deal was made on the first
Of June. The plaintiff asks that she
be given Judgment for damages to
the extent of $4,000 and an order
setting aside the pretended trade.

Polish laborers in Germany are not
