The Tribune's Washington dis
patches make it plain that no OBJ
stacles will be put by Germany in
the way OF the negotiation of a
treaty Of peace along the lines Of
the Knox Porter resolution. The
Wirth government is willing to con-
cede in advance the validity of all
the reservations made by Congress
with regard TO American rights and
privileges growing out of the armis-
tice and defined in the unratified
Versailles Treaty. If Berlin con-
firms to US by separate compact
all that we could have asked of her
under the joint peace settlement,
then it. remains only matter of po-
l;tical convenience which road we
take toward liquidation of our war
accounts with Germany.
Much of the dissemination here to
make separate peace has been due
TO misconception Of Germany's in
tcntions and capacity for mischief.
The fictitious belief has been en-
couraged that Germany would some
how regain the whip hand if the
United States decided to deal with
her directly. President Wilson's
mistakes at the peace conference
made it impossible for the United
States to accept the treaty draft in
The form in which he brought it
home. He wanted to cram his handi-
work down the country's throat. So
n his Western speaking tour Of 1919
he harped on the idea that if the
Senate attached reservations even to
the League of Nations covenant we
sheuld be forced 20 go hat in hand to
Germany and beg her to agree to
them.
Germany was, of course, entitled
to no say whatever as to alterations
Ill the covenant, since she was not
rneml Y of the league. But the
hat-in-hand" delusion persisted. In
the debate on the Knox Porter res
olution it cropped out again in re-
marks to the effect that the United
States might be Inviting a rebuff by
entering into separate negotiations,
and that we might even be compelled
TO scale down some of our just war
claims.
This objection was fanciful. We
have two alternatives. Chancellor
Wirth knows chat he cannot force
our hand, for we can always fall
back on a partial ratification of the
Versailles Treaty The Germans
are keen to resume full peace rela-
lions with the United States. They
recently concluded separate treaty
with China, an Allied power which
declined to sign the Versailles
Treaty. They made unusual con-
cessions to China, going so far as to
surrender the right of extra-terri-
toriality. 1t is vastly more to their
interest not to antagonize the United
States. The very limited repara-
ton which they are to make to us,
compared with what they must make
to the European Allies, is, from
their point of view, hardly worth
haggling over. They are in no posi-
ton to haggle. The whole theory of
a German hold-out is absurd.
A separate peace, based ON the
armistice and the indemnifcation
sections of the Versailles Treaty,
would restore the situation, botched
at Paris, so far as Germany and the
United States are concerned. Mr..
Wilson's unfortunate severance of
our relations with the other Allied
powers is being repaired through the
Harding-Hughes diplomacy, which is
reestabhshing our rights as a bellig-
erent and bringing us again into an
Allied concert outside the league.

DEMAND SLACkENS.

While there seems to be a demand
in Chicago for potatoes at around S4
a hundred pounds the call for them in
other markets has shown decided
decline for the past few days; in fact
there is said to be no demand at all
in other markets, according to other
reports that came to Inspector James
Melvyn this morning. Mr.. Melvyn
thinks it always wise to sell early po-
tatoes early and take what the mar
ket offers for them.

RANCHERS TURNED
THEIR ATTENTION TO SPUDS

A visit up the east side Lemhi road
as far as Barracks lane last Monday
afforded an opportunity for viewing
some of the prize potato fields in that
fertile locality. The first of these is
seen on the Walter C.. Fox ranch
where there are maturing about 20
acres of even growth pretty To look
upon. Next coming into view are the
fields of Pete Marcussen, Paul Ziems,
the Dimick acreage on the famous
Geertson ranch, George Baciu, Albert
son Brothers, Charles Marshall and
others in that immediate locality, the
total acreage being upward of 800. On
little further the biggest of all the
Lemhi potato patches is found on the
Shenon ranch where there are AZ
acres in this profitable crop. Clyde
Starr has a promising yield from po-
tatoes too.
On the Geertson ranch, where the
Dimick crop is growing into gold for
the owner, there are upward of 30
acres in potatoes that are likely to
fetch in the markets upward of Si2,-
600. This Is a beautiful ranch, repre-
senting in development much of the
active life-work Of l.. c. Ceertson,
a VINO - SAID To be the Oldest OF all the
Lemhi pioneers, still in harness
4 though eighty-nine. His son George
4 Geertson, who is thorough going
farmer and livestock man. manages
this splendid estate which reaches

Attention has recently been direct

sible place. They might go a goo,

GRADING PREREQUISITE
TO MARKETING WOOL

Alex r. Livingstone, Jr., has been
in Salmon for the week buying fleeces
for the American Woolen company.
This is the largest concern of the kind
in all the country. When he arrived
last Friday Mr.. Livingstone said:
"Well have at last arrived where
started for five months ago when
set out from Boston. Some time be-
fore leaving and while planning this
trip | had been reading in various
trade journals what one of your bank
ers, Mr. Quarles, had been writing
about wool marketing. What he wrote
induced me to come this way. | have
bought three grades of the Lemhi
wool through Mr.. Quarles and have
taken samples that may induce ac-
ceptabe offers later for what | could
not buy at this time"
Prices as high as 20 cents were paid
for the best heeces A crowd of busy
men have been preparing the Lemhi
staple for immediate shipment east,
II has all been thoroughly graded and
sampled. necessitating the ripping OF
the sacks and sewing them again. In
cases where the buyer could not deal
NJ this time the seller knows just
what ms WOOL SidteS anu e"ii Pof,.t
bly, find buyer later. The grades
are known as fine, tine-medlum, half
blood. quarter-blood, three-elghtS
blood, combing and braid.
Il has long been the contention of
Mr.. Ouarles that wool should be thus
Graded and sold on the market
through an exchange as one of the
great necessities for the welfare of
mankind.
The coming of Mr.. Livingstone on
his present mission is the first fruit
Of the Quarles' effort for this better
nent. Mr.. Livingstone bears the name
Of his father, who has long been con-
rected with the American Woolen
company in places Of responsibility,
and for himself is likely TO win high
giace too. for he is seen at once to
nossess vision and ambition.

POTATOES ARE
SOARING HIGH
FOR INSTANCE STEVE DIMICK is
GETTING MORE THAN $500 PER
ACRE FROM THEM.

Steve Dimick has already harvested
and sold three cars of his potatoes at
$1.75 net at Salmon. His buyer was
found by G. 3. Quarles. The remark
able thing connected with this sale is
that the potatoes which came from
nine acres only, brought the owner
$500, which is little more than
$500 per acre after counting off the
cost of the seed at 500 per acre Dim
ick has left to harvest later upward
Of 40 acres which he grew on the
Geertson ranch this year and which
will place him on the shady side of
Easy street from present soaring po-
tato prices.
Farmers of western Idaho are OBJ
tanning a good price for their early
potatoes and are sending great guam
titles to the eastern market, accord
ing to T. S. Kinnersley, director of
transportation for the Oregon Short
Line. Mr.. Kinnersley returned yester-
day from trip through the Snake
river valley. He predicts that the
heavy shipment of potatoes from the
vicinity of Nampa and Caldwell will
continue another week.
"A trainload of from forty to fifty
cars of new potatoes leaves eastern
Idaho every day Mr.. Kennersley
said. Sometimes we send out two
trains These are the new, immature
potatoes that are in demand through
ont the east and middle west. | am
informed that some of the producers
are receiving as high as S2.35 hun
dredweight, although some of the first
sold, about two weeks ago, brought
about SIPS.
"All of these potatoes go out under
ice in refrigerator cars, which contain
from 24,000 to 10000 pounds each
The shipment of the fall crop of pota-
toes will not start for several months
Most of the fall, or mature, potatoes
we handle from Idaho come from the
country north of Pocatello, including
Bingham, Bonneville, Madison anc
Fremont counties.
Full of Prunes.
'"The next crop to handle in Idaho
will be the prunes of the southeastern
part of the state. We expect between
1900 and 1000 carloads of these. Th'
prunes and early apples also will b,
shipped in refrigerator cars"
Mr.. kinnersley also reports indica
tions of record crop of grain ant
late potatoes from Idaho and predict
that the farmers there will make mon
ey this year. A million dollars will
not more than cover returns this yea
from prunes.

SIGNING UP FOR
POTATO SALES

One of the good jobs undertaken
by the Farm Bureau and completed
was that of getting together the po-
tato growers of the county last Sat
urday to consider the matter of mar
keting their crop. Incidentally the
meeting was addressed by live wire
in the marketing business, Secretary
G. C.. Wooster of the Northwestern
Potato Growers exchange of Kalispel,
Montana, who urged the growers of
Lemhi tubers to join his association
at an expense of ten per cent of the
net sales effected.
Frank H. Havemann, president of
the Business Mems association, was
called to the chair and Farm Agent
Tillotson was secretary.
Mr.. Wooster told of the benefits Of
organized sales and regularly brand
ed trade marks for the sale of pota-
toes just as oranges and oat meal and
what not are sold and marked, so that
buyers may know exactly what they
are getting. Experts study market
conditions and direct members to sell
where the best prices may be realiz-
ed, always insisting upon honesty in
grading and sorting.
A majority of the thirty or forty
growers present in the meeting sign
ed agreements left by Mr.. Wooster
for the handling of their potatoes
this year, although the sales season
is already we'll advanced.
