practical for keeping potatoes sound
and conditione dthroughout the year.
A market will be found for the po-
tatoes and farmers are urged to
plant potatoes after oats with a view
of storing and marketing them. The
stored and cured potato is very su-
perior to the common hilled potato

evident that the plant is giving OUT

Then We will have the usual Mysteries

taken to put in new plant. But why
wait until that time comes! mat IL
il coming is as certain as deatn:
When the plant goes to pieces IT Will
require from six to twelve months to
put in new equipment and during
that period there will be no lights, no
water and no power. Private pumps
will have to be put down, homes Will
have to be. equipped with private
lighting devices, arrangements Will
have to be made for sewerage .dispos-

be put to thousands of dollars OF eX-

AS long as we can best the other

warehouse to some one else. These
tobacco men" as we call them have
always argued that the farmers
could not operate warehouse at a
profit. We have shown the public by
leading the market in Dillon, both in
price and number of pounds sold and
lastly in giving every mali that sold
tobacco with us the same treatment.
Neither did we buy single pound in
the county and profit on him this
way. BY your cooperation We have
accomplished what some thought i'm
possible and it is useless for us to
say that we appreciate this trust as
it has been a pleasure to serve you.

Whether to dispose of his potato
crop direct from the fields or to hold
it for possible later increase in price,
is a problem which confronts the
farmer every fall. On the one hand
is the buyer offering figures based on
the quantity and other conditions of
the market, the tightness of money
and a number of related conditions
which may depress the price. On the
other, he is confronted with the ex-
pense of storing, the ~shrinkage in
volume, possibility of rot, and the I'M
certainty of the number of bushels
of potatoes which will be carried over
by the farmers throughout the United
States to be thrown into the market
during the winter.
1t is a problem that has to be de-
cided, because the crop is there. 1t
is a problem that the farmer must
decide for himself.
Lowest in October
Prices naturally are lowest in DC
tober, when the crop is just out of
the ground. A study recently made
by the bureau of markets of the de-
partment of agriculture, covering the
last 10 years, shows that the average
price rises very slightly until the 1st
of January, and then more rapidly
until the LIST of March, another sharp
advance taking place between April
planting season and June.
These are only averages, however,
and nay be varied by many condi-
tions which the farmer has to study
largely for himself. Reasoning about
future prices is unusually difficult
at the present time.
A study of the general tendencies
of the market, whether up or down,
must be based on facts pertaining to
the country as a whole. The supply
may be less than usual in a certain
but if the total crop is large
the size of this total crop will have
a tendency to lower prices even in
his county of short production. The
prices in that county may be high
out they will not be SO high as they
would have been if the total produc-
ion of the country had not been SO
arge. That is, the conclusions
lrawn from the broad and general
Information may be modified by local
Conditions in each section, but it re-
mains true that each of these Sec
ions will be influenced by the up and
tendencies which move over
