a vacation to look after 1t. He was
jubilant over the prospect of hav-

visions of the constructive railway
legislation which will soon be re,
ported out of the House Committee
on Interstate and Foreign Com
merce, of which Representative
John j. Esch, of Wisconsin, is
chairman:
Federal control of the issuance OF
railroad stocks and bonds.
The establishment of minimum
rates, with increased powers of the
Interstate Commerce Commission
over interstate rates that interfere
with interstate rates. in line with
recent decision of the Supreme
Court of the United States.
The use of joint terminals.
The use of interchangeable roll
ling stock, with enlarged power
upon the Interstate Commerce Com
mission to prevent car shortage in
congested transportation periods.
Early return of the roads to pri-
vate ownership.
A total rejection of the Plumb
plan and any provision recognizing
the principle Of government owner

fortunate Idaho's state taxes have

a levy of 10.44 mills for state pur-

prepared by the United States Depart

Potatoes properly stored should not
sustain loss throughout the winter
season of more than 5 per cent, and
under exceptionally good conditions not
more than 3 or per cent The max
imum return from the crop after it is
produced depends on the care with
which the potatoes are harvested,
of the grower to sell at the most ad.
vantageous time. approximately one
third of the main potato crop is mar
keted at harvest time, and the re-
mainder is stored as reserve supply
for winter and spring. 1t is physically
desirable, to attempt To market the en-
tire crop in the autumn, and the only
way in which potatoes can be handled
successfully, so as to insure uniform
supply is to provide sufficient storage
on the farm or at the shipping station
for from 65 to rs per cent of the crop.
Various types of storage places are
now in use, ranging from pits or
cheaply constructed dug-outs to large,
substantially built storage houses.
Plans for the construction of storage
houses are given in the departments

For successful storage. the tubers

isfactory. Sufficient ventilation must
be provided to remove foul air and
excessive moisture. The storage house
must be so constructed as to make Ii
possible to exclude the light, as the
table quality of potatoes quickly de-
teriOrates in the light.
The tubers should be dry and reason.
ably free from dirt when put into
storage an excess Of moisture or soil
increases the amount of heat in newly
up the spaces between the tubers, thus
cutting off air circulation, and helping
to retain heat that would otherwise
escape. All diseased, badly cut. or
bruised tubers should be removed from
the crop before putting 1t into storage.
1t Is common practice for CONNER
cial growers and shippers to store po-
tatoes in bins to depth of 10 to Is
feet. This is almost certain to entail
much heavier shrinkage loss than when
stored to a depth Of not more than 6
feet. The heavier shrinkage is the
result of the greater amount of heat
generated by a large pile of potatoes,
which results in a higher amount of
moisture loss as well as heavier loss
from decay, as heat and moisture both
help to develop organisms causing
tuber rots. Frequently the losses sus-
tanned when the potatoes are stored
under these conditions reach 25 per
cent, and where rigid care has not been
exercised to remove all diseased tubers
before storing the crop, the loss Is even
greater. 1t is advisable. therefore, to
pile the potatoes not greater than s or
feet deep, and the floor dimensions of
the bin should not be greater than Tx
IL feet unless provided with series of
yentilating shafts or division walls for
the escape of moisture and heat.

that is over we can have another
drive for a fund Tor the striking
railroad workers who tried to
cause the farmers and fruit growers

workers, the striking pressmen, the
printers who struck at Tacoma and
lost their strike, the telephone oper-
