Big Money for Perfect Potatoes

The perfect potato, which resists
blight and other "spud" diseases, has
been developed, according to Samuel
Ryder, head of known English
seed firm.
He refused to give the name Of the
hybridist. but said he paid him s12,-
600 for seed potatoes which wouldn',
fill peck measure.
we have bought up all the hy-
bridized seed of this expert" said
Ryder. "The average potato yield in
1918 was four tons per acre in Eng
land. With the new seed, six pounds
per root, or SO tons per acre, can be
produced. The full results of the
perfect potato may not be reaped fol-
two or three years."

Mr.. Lowelrs statement in part fol-
THE farmers belief concerning the
way to reduce the cost of living is for
everyone to be willing again to do a
reasonable days work. The 44-hour
week will never support America, to say
nothing OF feeding a hungry world.
Those who are best informed on
agricultural conditions in America can
not offer in the slightest hope of lower
tood prices, so far as the farmer is con-
Cerned.
In the reconstruction everyone must
get ready to actually work again, to
save again and to considerable degree
to get back to thrift, sanity and COM
mon sense or else accept as permanent
the present scale of living costs, in
which event we might just as well stop
ranting about the high cost Of living
and realize that a new basis of eco
nomic procedure is here to stay
This is the declaration of the Ma
NlOHdI dIStt WHICH sees Ill lI6 lulult
no reason why its members should slave
long hours, seven days a week, to sup
ply cheap food to the other workers OF
the country, who enjoy short hours and
unlimited opportunity for rest and pleas
ure Speaking as the largest and best
established farmers organization in
America the Grange hereby notifies the
world that the farmers do not intend
to keep responding to the call produce,
produce, produce so long as other lines
adopt as their slogan, reduce, reduce,
reduce
There are five very definite things
that may be expected in time to have
an effect upon the production of a
worlds food:
First, a more direct and less ex-
pensive' system of distribution.
Second, the removal of all artificial
restrictions upon the sale of farm prod
ucts
Third, heightened industrial day,
with honest service for wages paid,
Fourth, increased dividends on farm
Investment which will enable their own
ers to meet the wage scale of compel
ing occupations.
Fifth, increasing social and educa
tonal privileges in rural communities.

COTTON YIELD IS
. SHORT, BUT STOCK
LEFT IS LARGE
Consumption Reduced by Sew
eraI Factors, But ManufaC-
turing in Southern States
GROWING.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2.-Athough
the 1919 crop was the fourth successive
small cotton crop produced both in
this country and throughout the world
the carry over at the end of the sea-
son in the United States was the largest
ever recorded, as shown by the sta
tstiCs in the census bureaus annual
report on cotton production and dis
tribution for the season 191S-1919, just
issued by Director Sam L. Rogers. The
worlds total for the four crops, not
including linters in the United States
was 70,SSS, 900 equivalent 500-pound net
weight bales, compared with 1856. 900
bales for the preceding four years.
Two factors were mainly responsible
for this condition, the report says. The
actual quantity of cotton consumed in
Europe was very much below normal,
although there had never been such
scarcity of cotton goods since the period
Immediately following the Civil war,
and transportation facilities for eX-
porting cotton had not yet become nor
nal. Another factor was the inability
on the part of Europe to purchase cot
ton freely because of unstable condi-
lions in some of the countries and the
extraordinary high rates of exchange,
Consumption of cotton in the United
States during the cotton year which
ended July 81, 1919, was the smallest
for any year since 1915. Compared with
1918 it showed a reduction of nearly a
! million and half bales, the quantity,
including linters, having been 6,233 1877
bales. The heavy decrease was largely
due to the reduced consumption OF
| linters owing to the cessation of hos
| tilties in Europe. The reduction was
about 100000 bales on that account
Lint cotton consumption was 5,765, 936
bales and linters 457,9O1 bales.
The rapidly increasing manufacture
of cotton in the cotton growing states
| is shown in an increase of nearly 1000.
! 600 spindles in that section since 1914
| the total at the end of the 1919 cotton
| leads in the number of spindles with
II, 630,397. South Carolina comes sec
ond with 4,955,765, while North Caro-
| lima is close third with 4,7S9,322. Rhode
Island is fourth with 2,67S, 1870, ant
| Georgia fifth with 2,51S,059.
| In consumption of cotton Massachu'
| setts also leads with 1,324,815 bales
while North Carolina is in second place
with 1,035,717 bales. South Cardinals
| consumption was 764,794 bales, anC
Georgia's 702,676 bales.
| The utilization of what was formerly
| considered a waste and in many in
| stances a nuisance is illustrated in the
| statistics of cottonSeed and cottonseeC
| products which had a combined value
| Of $3.50, $50, 900 for the year Production
of cottonseed was 100000 tons, o
which 4,47S,50S tons were used in manu-.
facture. Crude products obtained were
OIL, 176, 711;OOO gallons, valued at $227,,
