SELLING POTATOES
State Department Of Agriculture
Warns Against too Hasty
Contracting.

The Minnesota State Depart.
ment of Agriculture has recently
completed a personal tour of the
potato growing section of Mime
sofa, and in a number of cases
has found evidence that dealers
are contracting with farmers fol
the delivery of their crop a,
loading station. usually at prices
considerably below the market
for produce of good quality.
While the department does
not attempt to say that the far
mer should not enter into a con.
tract to sell if he sees fit to dc
SO it does desire to call atten-
ton to the fact that he should,
before making such contracts, be
thoroughly conversant with the
crop situation and with the price
level on the market.
The normal potato require
ments Of the country are some
thing over 38O,O0O,000 bushels
per year. This years crop falls
short of that estimate by from
80 to 50,O00,OOO bushels. The
best information obtainable by
the Minnesota State Department
Of Agriculture is to the effect
that the early crop throughout
the country has been far below
normal and that the market de-
pending upon that crop is sub
stantially cleaned up. The great
potato consuming areas Of the
United States include, in addi-
ton to the large eastern cities,
the agricultural regions from the
Alleghanies to western Kansas
and southwark. These must de-
pend for their supply upon a
shortened late crop in practical
ly all the potato producing areas
outside Of the far West.
The facts Of the situation leads
the State Department Of Agri-
culture to look for an active de-
mand accompanied by a fairly
strong price throughout the crop
moving season.
The recent depression in pota-
to prices has been due to ill-ad-
vised swapping Of the large
markets with immature, heating,
ill-sorted and decaying potatoes,
and instead Of indicating a gen.
eral weak market condition has
merely resulted in the wasting
of a considerable amount Of ma
terial. taken from an already
short crop. In considering the
questions Of the proper time TO
market and Of the price that
may fairly be expected. these ba-
sic facts should be kept in mind

The carrier will leave a 500
A. NJ. and return 1t 4P. N. The
route is designated A. No. I and
the carriers salary will be 81 ,O63
per annum.
Chr. Hansen has been ap-
pointed AZ temporary carrier on
this route by Postmaster Peter
sen and will serve until : civil
service examination has been
held by the Department and 4
permanent appointment made.
It is very important that the
people along this route get their
mail on the route and also dis
patch their mail through the
carrier as a certain amount Of
mail must be handled there in
order to keep the route. After
six months it will be changed to
a daily route If enough mail is
handled.
The Department wrote in part
to Postmaster Petersen as fol.
lows: THE order for establish
ment Of this service will be post
poned or rescinded unless d ccr-
tificate is received from you not
later than Nov. /. 1921, to the
effect that at least 100 families
have qualified as patrons either
by erecting approved boxes on
the proposed line OF travel or FL
ing with you written agreements
that they will join with others
in the use Of boxes, in accord.
ance with the provisions of Sec
tion 62S, Postal Laws and Regu-
lations."
From this it will be noted that
it is important or absolutely es-
sential that the people along the
route patronize it and not get
their mail in town when deliver
ing cream or have the school
children call for the mail at the
post office.
Askov has long fought to get
one or two rural mail routes hut
it appeared to be very difficult
to get anything during the war
and for some time thereafter,
but now that the route has been
granted it should be patronized
so il will be here to stay and
perhaps made every day service
in six months. With route No.
| doing a good business there
will be better chances for -
4uiring another route out of
Askov later.

Coming Events :

A so-called secret" subscrip-

too far, were caught by an under
tow and drowned before life
guards could reach them. Mr..
and Mrs. Lundbeck had come to
Cincinnati from Stockholm, Swe-
den, but a few years ago.
Honey Culture.
That honey culture can be
made into profitable business has
been demonstrated by Konrad
Hertsgaard, Danish farmer
living near Kindred, N. D., who
two or three years ago acquired
a couple of colonies of bees; he
now has 80 colonies which will
bring him over 5000 pounds of
honey this year-with practi-
cally no expense save the work
of taking care of the bees.
Minister Resigns.
Rev. Henry Langum, pastor of
the Norwegian Lutheran church
at Driscoll, N. d., has resigned

Colony Decreasing.
According to a report made by
the Swedish consul general at
Havana, the Swedish settlement
on the island of Cuba has been
greatly reduced as a consequence
of the after effects of the war,
it is said. There is now only
one fairly numerous Swedish
settlement on the island, that
of Bavate Oriente.
