GROW POTATOES IF
YOU WOULD PROSPER
As a Mainstay Crop They Are
Without an Equal if Prop
erly Grown.

How important is the potato?
Many books have been written on
this plaln-looking vegetable II the
question of how important the pota-
TO is were asked Of the average crty
person one might receive this an
swer:
"Oh. we have them on the table
two or three times a day. If the
price is not too high"
In some households the potato can
be found on the daily menu three
times a day regardless Of price. ~
is a fact that It lays claim, rightful-
". TO the title OF the "mainstay
crop" of the farmer.
Good Crop Takes Three Years.
The time necessary 20 grow
crop of potatoes ranges from so 10
100 days. but to grow a crop prop
erly II takes fully three years. The
grower must have clean seed TO
grow a clean potato This can be
done only by rotation The oft-re-
peated mistake. of applying manure
before planning should be warned
against Manure will cause scaib and
this undesirable defect can only be
avoided by applying manure after
the potatoes are cropped and the
land sown to nurse crop Of clover.
In this manner the funges will be
removed by the time potatoes are
again cropped on this land.
Proper seed Is an important fea-
ture in the production OF a good
crop. The snail additional cost Of
purchasing certified seed over a
poor grade is many times offset by
the Increased yield. better quality
and higher price received for the
product
The outside appearance Of a seed

that II will not be necessary 70 treat

effectually. Care should be exer-
cised 10 keep the solution at proper
temperature and the time n the 60

Farm Women Meet
In First District

RspreSen tatlNe farm women from
all the counties. except Fulton, fl
District No. 1. met In the First Ma
tional Bank building at Laporte on
Wednesday. The women present
discussed the situation Of the present
day farmer and tried 10 work out a
plan whereby the women in the Farm
Bureau could be of real service.
Those present representing their
respective counties We're: Miss Anna

rector. Mrs. Frank Laben, Lake

seph county; Mrs. H. c. Deniston.
Pulaski county: Mrs r. W. Shilling.
Starke county; Mrs. Ella DeMont,

Laporte county.
AS one woman very ably said, 1--WE
are tired of jellies and jams, we know
these recipes. We want to know why
the farmers wife has 10 work harder
than any woman. why she does not
get a proper return for her labor and
why she cannot surround herself and
family with those cultural and ref1n-
ing influences. which make life worth
living"
The general opinion was that the
women in the Farm Bureau should
work along with the men. II was
pointed out that in many cases their
presence would create a greater in
terest in the work and perhaps at
tract some farmers not as yet mem
bers of the Bureau.

The representatives expressed
themselves as in favor of carrying

oping township activities for women
in connection with the Farm Bureau.
This first meeting was called for
the purpose Of standardizing the

A recent summary of five years

in the association for two consecu-
tive years or more OF the IS herds.

production the second year when
compared with their first years rec
ord. The decreases range from Is
percent to 30.5 percent in butterfat
production, and SO percent TO 2S.5
percent in milk production respect
lively. There were Do COWS in the
herd showing a decrease of 3O.3 per-
cent butterfat and 2S.5 percent milk
production per COW, as compared
with their production the year be-
fore. The total feed cost per COW
decreased $500 or 31.6 percent. The
income over cost Of feed decreased
SS.22 or 1919 percent The cost TO
produce 100 pounds OF milk increas-
cd two percent. and the cost 10 pro-
duce one pound of butterfat increas-

The peak of the high cost of pro-

Cannon, of the dairy extension staff
OF Purdue university. yet those
men who studied the records of pre-
vious years and applied the informa-
ton they received through the rec
ords Of their herds, were the men
who made a consistent gain in thu
income over the cost OF feed per
COW during that year of extremely
high prices for feed II Is evident
from the summary of these records
that many men did not consult their
book on the previous years work
and thought only OF the increased
prices of grain. They overlooked
the increased value Of their products
on the market during those years,
and rather than allow the records
TO be their guide in economical pro-
dUction, allowed the market prices

CAFETERIA STORES
HELP The FARMER
1t Is Claimed Self.Service Pro-
vides Opportunity for
More Profit.

Self-service stores under certain
conditions tend to lower food prices
and the cost of other household com
mOdities to the consumer by reduc-
ing service charges to a minimum.
This form Of retailing. which Is now
common in many states, has been
studied by the United States Bureau
of Markets and Crop Estimates,
from the point Of view Of store oper-
alton. Its advantages and difficulties
have recently been summarized in

ttces. Much of this handling can
not be avoided, but under given con-
ditions some of IL can be dispensed
with. The cost OF furnishing credit
and delivery to customers IS one Of
these handling charges which the
self-Service store eliminates, in addi-
ton to economies IN the clerking
and selling force. IN comparing self
service with other stores. only the
cash and carry type are consid-
cred.
Diversity OF Opinion
There is wide diversity or opinion
regarding the advantages and dis
advantages Of the self-service store.
No two stores operate under identi-
cal conditions 50 that results OF stu
dies are necessarily relative. These
studies show that the wage expense
OF a sef-service store should be
about two or three per cent Of the
total sales, where q service store with
like volume Of business pay sales

total sales. Other considerations IN
