yAxmere in the vicinity Of Hoopie.
N D.. have learned that potatoes
make n Of their he2 money crops
are as web q real benefit to the
soil. according to y. c. Olson. preS-
dent Vt the State Bank Of Hoople, who
Is . frequent visitor in Grand Forks
As q result the farmers in this dis
ertes are making potatoes a Of their
chief CROPS and with the exception,
sourc Of income
Success Dennnstrated.
That this has been . successful
policy is shown by the fact thai -
per cent OF the men operating farms
In b REGION own their farms
1t Is anticipated that the crop Ia
the district this sear will bring about
half a million dollars to the producerA
h is based on the estimate that
about see,eo4 bushels viii be. sold At
the average price OF 81 per bushel at.
which price many of the farmers have
contracted for their crop. Last. year
he crop OF the district came, to 250.-
600 bushels, but the present indtcA-
tions are that this will be doubled at
the end OF the present season.
The general policy OF the Hoople
farmers Mr.. Olson states is to ro-
tate the potatoes with wheat instead
Of summer following. The thorough
cultivation which the land receives Is
OF great value, and makes the crop
a good one for rotation purposes, as
we'll as a money crop.
The Early Ohio is the potato gem
orally planted. as the experience OF
the farmers has shown that it is the
best all around variety for production
in this section.
Good Crop Looked For.
According to present indications the
yield in the vicinity OF Hoople this
year will be in the n~aighborhood. OF
$50 bushels per acre. It is 100 early
to of az vet to predict regarding the
crop very definitely but the tubers
seem to be Of good size and fairly
numerous.
Hoople potatoes are marketed
through three potato warehouses OBJ
Grating there, with a: total capacity Of
$4,000 bushels. One Of these is q
farmer owned cooperative institution.
1t has a capacity of $1,000 bushels.
Much Of the success Of the Hoople
POTATO growers is due to the quality
Of the soil Of the district which Is q
oam with an admixture Of gumbo,
well adapted for, potato culture.

DALTON CITIZEN
TAKES OWN LIFE

The county coroner was sum-
moned TO the home of Horace
Wilhoit last Saturday to view
the remains of Mr.. Wilhoit who
had shot himself with a pistol.
Friday afternoon at 8 o'clock.
The investigation showed
that Mr.. Wilhoit had gone to
the barn about 100 ft. from the
house and there had taken his
own life. 1t was plainly a case
of suicide, and the coroner did
not deem an inquest necessary.
The deceased was 60 years of
age and was the father of IL
children, z living and A dead,
His wife was formerly Miss
Cuddy of Glasgow. Funera
services were conducted by the
Rev. w. III. Ezell at 8 p. m. Mon
day, interment at the Dalton
cemetery.
No reason is advanced for the
reason why Mr.. Wilhoit took his
own life, except that he must
have been mentally unbalanced
at the time. It is recalled that
several years ago he was in a
sanitarium and those better ac-
quainted with him think he may
have had a relapse.
He was known as a steady.
hard working citizen and car
ried the respect of all in the en-
tire community.
Friends extend sympathy tC
the bereayed family.
