the thing which weighed most in my

While the Martians are immense,

are muscled only In proportion to the

the small caliber, explosive, radium

great length of the barrel, they are
deadly in the extreme and at ranges
which would be unthinkable on Earth.

POTATO CROP UNDER NORMAL

Tie Minnesota State Department Of
Agriculture has recently completed q
personal tour of the potato growing
section Of Minnesota, and in a num-
Der of cases has found evidence that
dealers are contracting with farmers
for the delivery of their crop at load
ing station, usually at prices consider
ably below the market for produce of
good quality, says Hugh j. Hughes,
director Of markets. s,- ~.
While the department does not at
tempt to say that the: farmer should
not enter into contract to sellslfy ne
sees fit to do SO it does desire to call
attention to the fact that he should,
before making such contracts, be thor
cughly conversant with the crop sltua-
ton and with the price level on the
market.
The FORMAL rotato requirements Of
the c.. airy are something over $780,
OOO,OCr bushels per year. This year S
crop i lis short Of that estimate by
from 20 10 10000, 900 bushels. The
best information obtainable by the
Minnesota State Department Of Agrl-
culture is to the effect that the early
crop throughout the, country has been
far below normal and that the market
depending upon that crop is substan-
TALLY cleaned up. The great potato
consuming areas of the United States
include, in addition to the large cas-
tern cities, the agricultural regions
from the Alleghanies to western Kan
sas and southwark. These must de.
pend for their supply upon shortened
late crop in practically all the potato
producing areas outside of the TAI
West.
The facts of the situation leads the
State Department of Agriculture te
look for an active demand accompan
led by fairly strong price through
ont the crop moving season.
The recent depression in potato
prices has been due to ill-adv1ses
Swapping of the large markets witt
| immature, heating, i]l-sorted and ne
! caying potatoes, and instead OF indi
eating a general weak market condl
ton has merely resulted in the vast
ing of considerable amount Of mat
erial, taken from an already shor1
crop. In considering the questions Of
the proper time to market and OF the
price that may fairly be expected
these basic facts should be kept II
mind and the further fact also, that
attention to grading and the exclusion
from the crop offered of small un-use
able or diseased stock should be fol
lowed. The shipper should further
protect himself by indicating the quail
ity and condition of his shipment OF
his invoice, bill Of lading, or sales
slip, and demand prices in lines Will
such quality offerings on the termlna
market.

A combination Of carbon tetraohloride

per cent Of these originate from. deteec:
tive flues and another 7.3 per cent
from stoves, furnaces, boilers and
their pipes. N
Remember that these fires ARE
strictly prevcntable; that their Origin
is due to carelessness, ignorance and
neglect, because somebody failed in
their responsibility by not inspecting
and keeping in repair the heating
plant, stove smoke fiues or chimney
Free your own home from these haz
ards by making careful inspection
of all heating devices. Examine all
metal smoke fues running between
the heater and the chimney to sec
that they have not rusted through
from corrosion and see that all joints
are tight. If found defective they
should be repaired or replaced at once
This will only take up a few minutes
of your time now and possibly save
you much hardship later on.
