Potato Marketing Facts.

shipments of the past two weeks and
to immature and poor quality early
potatoes that have been put on the

bruises and srots, and fairly uniform

"The market has been receiving
just this kind of potatoes from the
Minnesota potato producing sections.
Our growers have not objected to
paying the freight charges and war
tax on the culls and dirt that the
jobbers so ambitiously spend good
money to remove and to haul out in
order to fill up some dump or hole

"The potato producer should in
sist that the potato buyer pay him a
just and fair price for his quality po-
tatoes. He should not consider that
his potatoes are the only good pota-
toes to be had, nor should be allow
himself to feel that potatoes are po-
tatoes and that there is only one
price for them.
Should Retain Standard.
"The producer must understand
that poorly graded, dirty, and rotten
potatoes will not built up a demand
nor a reputation for any community
which claims to be potato produc-
ing community.
"The buyer, on the other hand,
must load only such potatoes as will
help build up the reputation of the
community The buyer necessarily
will need to insist that the grower
mand the highest prices. Too often
the buyer pays only the one price,
which is absolutely unfair to the po-
tato grower who is producing the
quality potato and who is careful in
what he markets. To many buyers
use the quality potatoes to bring the
condition of the shipment up to the
average. Growers! Insist that the
buyers have more than one price
when they are buying. You bring in
the quality potatoes and you will re-
ceive the best price.

FINAL WAR BILL
Seven Great Items That Must Be
Settled for Peace Will Be Met
by The Fifth Liberty Loan.

The Fifth Liberty Loan will be
called the VICTORIOUS FIFTH, be-
cause, when it has been foated the
people of the country will be celebrat-
ing the victorious peace.
The Fifth Loan will come about mid
April, or just two years after the date
upon which we entered the war. 1t will
be more of peace loan than a war
loan 1t will be loan to make the final
settlement, squaring up the bill for
the war while the celebration of the
victory is still going on and the men
are streaming back from France by
hundreds of thousands.
A total of from five to six billions
will probably be offered. What the
money is needed for and why 1t is
needed is worth putting compactly
together. 1t brings to mind at a glance
what is demanded still by the great
tasks imposed by peace.
These are some Of the chief items:-
l. Care for the American soldiers
In the Army of Occupation.
2. Providing for the second army
in the area behind the zone Of ooour
patton.
g. Bringing home soldiers who have
been released from war duties.
4. Demobilizing millions Of men up
on their arrival here. -.~ '-
s. Keeping up the cantonments and
hospitals in this country.
8. Re-habilitating and re-educating
men who have been wounded. "
7. Reconstruction work for the sol
| diers and sailors. r
Every one of the millions OF men
represented on this list have shared in
doing the nations work abroad.
Any American who stands by the
country will not fail to see now that
the peace debt is paid for the men
who have won peace.
