RIVER RIVER VALLEY
COUNTY SPUDS
BEST IN STATE
North Dakota, Minnesota
and Montana Potato Crop
Under Last Year Product

The Red river counties of North
Dakota have the best conditioned po-
tatoes Of any in the state, although
the total for this state, Minnesota and
Montana is less than in 1918, accord
ing to the special commercial potato
crop report of conditions September l,
issued today by the Bureau of Crop
A. J.. Surratt.
The North Dakota report states
that the Red river counties have the
best condition Of any in the state and
promise a movement of 1,400 cars. as
compared to 1874 cars in 1918. De-
ports from Ward, Renville and the
two rows of counties west indicate a
movement from this territory of 290
cars, as compared to 358 cars last
year.
The southwestern and other coun-
ties have a much lower condition and
will ship approximately $50 cars as
compared to 778 carss in..191S. The
total commercial movement out of the
state is estimated at 2,O65 cars as
compared to 1850 cars in 1918.
The Minnesota commercial crop IS
estimated on September l, at $4,000
cars as compared, to the final estimate
of $4,000 cars in 1918. The general
COnulllOH Is DSIOW "l4dI ~ was -
month ago. Favorable weather Is
needed to develop the size of the late
potatoes. Early stock is now moving
and it is of fair quality, but with only
fair yields reported.
Montana has a very light crop and
will not ship over $3.50 as much as
last year. The carlot production of
Montana, however, is relatively of lit
tie importance. The production being
s46 cars last year as compared to an
estimated crop of 400 cars this year.
Frosts during the early part of the
season followed by extreme heat and
drought with a resultant lack of irri-
CATION water. cut the crop seriously in
important districts. Severe insect
damage is also reported.
Carload figures in the above report
are based on an, average of 700 BUSH
els per car.

The Losing Side.
Referring to labor the president

that his side of the cas- ID the losing

at the heart of most of our industrial
difficulties, my fellow citiz@ns-and
most Of yousare q witness to this
lies the nnwillingness of men to get
together and talk 1t over. Half of
the temper which now exists between
those who perform labor and those
who direct labor is due TO the fact
that those who direct labor won't talk
differences over . with the men
whom they employ. / am in
every such instance convinced
that they are wrong and dare not
talk It over. Not only that, but every
time the two sides do get together
and talk u Z together, they come
out Of the conference in q different
temper from that with which they
went in. !
There is nothing that fastens the
attitude Of men like really frankly
laying their minds together alongside
each other, and making q fair and
open comparison. And that is what
all the great lighting nations of the
world agree to do with every matter
.of difference. between them, that they
will either, put it before jury by
whom they are bound or before a jury
which will publish alfs the facts to
mankind and express a frank opinion
in regard to it."&.E5

The president quoted Senator Lodge
as saying at a banquet in May, 1916,
in part as follows: .

deeply than L dosthe difficulties which
confront US in the work which this
league (thefLeague' to Enforce Peace)
undertakes. But the difficulties can
not be overcome unless we try to
overcome them. 1 believe it can be
done. Probably 1t will be impossible
to stop all wars. but it certainly will
be possible to stop some wars and
thus diminish their, number. The
way In which this problem is to be
worked out must, be left to his league
and to those who are giving this great
question the study which 1t, deserves.

Owing to the fact thai the game

Several OF the alumni players were

Despite the disorganized condition

PALMER URGES

F%reeport, Pa, Sept. 2o.-An aoso-

eral Palmer here today to psr,l..'t the
solution of economic problems arjs-

Such a period Of freedom from
unrest, he declared, would result
soon in increased production which
would bring about an era of "easier
living and better times" for all. On
the other hand, the attorney general
warned, selfish demands by any one
class cannot stimulate the national
prosperity or permanently benefit
even those obtaining such demands by
force. He strongly discountenanced
strikes.
Labor is asking a larger share Of
the joint product of none and labor
