Big Spud Crop.

ASAe FOFAN OASHs 40 t
Four bushels Of potatoes for every
States is the crop now being harvest
ed in this country according to the
figures Of the U. S. Department Of
Agriculture in its monthly crop re-
port for September, just issued,
which shows a total production Of
41~2,933,o00 bushels. this being n of
the record-breaking crops of the
country's history.
Radical changes have been made
this season by the farmers in the
marketing of this enormous crop,
which the farmers have adopted to
obtain for them a fair return for their
labor and at the same time deliver
their product to the CONSUMERS at a
reasonable price, cutting out the
usual SPECTATORS profits.
The Minnesota Potato Exchange,
with more than 100 association units,
J has been Joined by the North Dakota
Potato Exchange with 80 units. Add

Northwest Potato Exchange Of Mon

Wyoming and Colorado. The Ne.

tablished headquarters at Alliance
and all this business, together with
supplies from Michigan and New
York State will be evenly distributed
to the markets Of the country.

The Successful Farmer
 Raises Bigger Crops

and cuts down costs by investment in labor saving machinery.
 Good prices for the farmers crops en- courage new investment, more production and greater prosperity.
 But the success of agriculture depends on the growth of railroads-the modern beasts of burden that haul the crops to the world markets.
 The railroads-like the farms-increase their output and cut down unit costs by the constant investment of new capital With fair prices for the work they do, the railroads are able to attract new capital for expanding their facilities.
 Rates high enough to yield fair return will insure railroad growth, and prevent costly traffic congestion which invariably results in poorer service at higher cost. National wealth can increase only as our railroads grow.
 Poor railroad service is dear at any price. No growing country can long pay the price of inadequate transportation facilities.
