LOSS SMALL ON PROPER
LY STORED POTATOES

Potatoes properly stored should
not sustain loss throughout the
winter season Of more than five per
cent, and under exceptionally good
conditions not more than three or
four per cent, according to special
lists Of the United States Department
OF Agriculture, The maximum r.
turn from the crop after il is pro-
dueed depends on the care with
which the potatoes are harvested
stored, graded, sacked and the abil-
ity OF the grower to sell at the most
advantageous time.
Approximately one-third of the
main potato crop is marketed at har-
vest time, and the remainder is stor-
ed as a reserve supply for winter and
spring. II is physically impossible,
as well as economically undesirable,
to attempt to market the entire crop
IN the autumn, and the only way in
which potatoes can be handled sue
cessfully, is to provide sufficient stor-
age on the farm or at the shipping
station for from 65 to 75 per cent of
the crop.
Various types of storage places
are now in use, ranging from pits or
cheaply constructed dugouts to large
substantially-built storage houses.
Plans for the construction of storage
houses are given in the departments
Farmers Bulletin SAT.
For successful storage, the tubers
must be protected from extremes of
cold and heat; temperature Of
from 35 to 40 degrees F. is censd-
cred satisfactory. Sufficient ventila-
tion must be provided to remove foul
air and excessive moisture. The stor-
age house must be so constructed as
to make 1t possible to exclude the
light, as the table quality OF potatoes
quickly deteriorates in the light.
The tubers should be dry and rea-
sonably free from dirt when put in
to storage; an excess of moisture or
soil tends to fiji up the spaces be-
tween 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.
II is a common practice for COM
mercial growers and shippers to store
potatoes in bins to a depth of 10 to
Is feet. This is almost certain to
entail much heavier shrinkage loss
than when stored to depth of not
more than six deet. The heavier
shrinkage is the result of the greater
amount Of heat generated by large
pile of potatoes, which results in a
higher amount of moisture loss as
we'll as a heavier loss from decay, as
heat and moisture both help to de-
velop organisms causing tuber rots.
Frequently the losses sustained when
the potatoes are stored under these
conditions reach 20 per cent. and
where rigid care has not been exer-
cised to remove all diseased tubers
before storing the crop the loss is
even greater. 1t is advisable, there
fore, to pile the potatoes not greater
than five or six feet deep, and the
floor dimensions of the bin should
not be greater than IL by IL feet.
unless provided with a series of ven-
tilating shafts or division walls for
the escape of moisture and heat.

KAISER NOT TO RETURN

The persistent which have been circulating
to the effect that the exKer expects soon to return
to Germany have been denied by the Count Charles
Bentinck, at whose castle in Amerongen Holland
the exKaser has been staying since he escaped from
Germany.
'"There is truth" said Count Won Bentinck, Sin
reports that the EMPEROR planning to leave the cas-
tie He will remain here for the present until suitable
house has been found by his agents and approved by
the Dutch government
"He is at liberty to ride walk within the limits of
the parishes of Amerongen and Leersum, radius of
four miles from the CASTLE but prefers to remain in
side its walls, he is we'll protected from intruders
by two moats."
1t would appear from the above statement that the

What Other Editors Say
MOVING THE CAPITOL

While it is not going to make great deal of diff
ference to The News Reporter whether the people get
chance to vote the capitol removal or not; and
should they, should they not vote to move it to
Macon from Atlanta, we wouldn't lose any great
amount of sleep the result still the situation pre-
sents some rather interesting phases.
Macon offers most beautiful site for the new cap
itol and proposes to donate million dollars toward
erection of building. But the million dollars is
to come from new bond issue to be voted on Sup
pose everything worked out the Central City hopes
for and then the people of that city refused to vote the
million?
Macon would be in box And then again: Macon
proposes to erect the capitol with the million dol
lars and what money the could get out of the sale
of the old capitol and the governors mansion. This
would not bring another million, at best, giving
but two million dollars to erect new capitol for the
Empire State of the South. Ten years ago two-mion
dollar capitol would have been ample for the state
Today when building operations cost three times what
they did few years back it will require eight or ten
million dollars to erect capitol adequate to the need.
of Georgia for the next hundred years, and no plan
should contemplate, building for less period
Atlanta is combating capitol removal from every
angle, and the probabilities that the bill to sub
nit the question to the people will be killed in the pres
ent legislature.
But whether the capitol goes to Macon or remains
in Atlanta, Georgia needs capitol building and
it's only question of few years when will have
to be built At present the building is inadequate to
accommodate the machinery of the state government
and different departments have had to find outlet
in houses close by the capitol originally used resi-
dences.
Macon is making a good fight for the removal of
the capitol and whether she succeeds not her effort
will help the situation for Atlanta will take in

is possible she will lend her efforts to securing home

WHO is THE PROFITEER?

We hear much nowadays about the 'profiteer' and
the Importance of curbing his money-grabbing propen
sites, but no to have furnished any clear
definition of the people classes of people who come
within the scope of this term
Most people in using this word, consider that it
applies only to the big mliondolar or multi-mion-
dollar profeer, and to their mind the number of prof
iteers is comparatively small Moreover they imagine
that to eliminate the evil it is necessary only to put
few rich people in Jail If they were correct in this
idea the profteering problem would be comparatively
simple Unfortunately however these people are sadly
mistaken: profteering is not confined to few score
few hundred a few thousand rich people but
their name is legion and includes thousands but
millions of our people. profteer is human parasite
and every human parasite is profiteer human par
asite is who lives off the work of his fellow men
and who either partially entirely fails to pay them
off by his useful labor for what he receives Thus
it is plain that every profteer who fails to pro
duce for the benefit of humanity at least as much of
real value will be equivalent for the products of
the honest labor of his fellow which he consumes
Obviously this definition is very broad Under it
the term "profiteer" many classes of people
whom we have, perhaps, never regarded in that man
ner. Among these profiteers-these human parasites
who are responsible for the existing and rapidly in
creasng discrepancy between wages and prices and the
present strong tendency the world towards Boil
