Potato Market
As It Appears
Continued from page one

gunny sacks of varying sizes and NO
marks Of identity. Dealers assert
that they would rather have all
sacks weighing the same and that
it is a disadvantage to have them
vary ten or twenty pounds as most
of them do.
Kearney, Nebr. and the Kaw val
ley in Kansas are putting out big
shipments Of potatoes this year and
while they are packed in attractive
condition, they are not so good quail
ity as the Idahos. They are mostly
the Irish cobbler and early Ohios
and are considered inferior to the
Idaho rurals. They are so close to
the markets, and so many people are
squeezing down expenses, it enables
these potatoes to find easy access to
the kitchens.
OF the total of ETA cars loaded
for shipment from all points on the
twenty-third Of August, Idaho fur
nished sixty-two cars and New Jer-
sey 416.
Idaho's acreage Of potatoes in
1921 was $1,000, but for 1922 1t Is
$4,000, and increase of 3S per cent.
In the Kearney, Nebr. district
there was an increase Of $50 per
cent, but their total is only 1900
| acres this year, and was 600 in
1921. The State of Maine raises
many potatoes, but this year they In
creased their acreage only 10 per
cent and the yield is better than
usual, making an estimated increase
Of 20 per cent over last year, but
even that makes 1900 cars. The
farmers in Maine use about $50
worth OF commercial fertilizer per
acre on their potato lands and
Idaho farmers use little or none.
Brokers in Chicago are playing UP
Idaho potatoes as the best in the
world, and proving it. They sort
them carefully and pack them in
bushel boxes, each potato wrapped
in tissue paper and sold under a
flaming label as Idaho bakers, best
In the world. Potatoes that cost
them around 81 per 100 pounds sell
at 10 cents a pound as bakers and
the culls are sold in sacks at 1915.
The grading, packing and labelling
might better be done in Idaho and
the culls fed to the hogs or shipped
according to what they will bring.

area embodied in the proposed dis
trict, discloses the fact that lands
included in the said district are all
situated in irrigation projects which
have heretofore been constructed,
and have been in operation for a
number Of years last past. The evil
1 dent purpose of organizing this dis
trict is, therefore, to secure an adj
ditional or supplemental water
supply.
| Water Supply
! The supplemental water supply
for the proposed district is, accord
ing to the petition and accompany
ing data, to be derived from reser-
| voir to be constructed at American
Falls, such water supply to be made
available to the lands situated be-
low American Falls by releasing the
same to Snake river, conveying it
thence in the natural channel to the
various points of diversion now in
use and the lands situated above
American Falls are to receive sup
Elemental water by exchanging
rights in Jackson Lake, which last
mentioned reservoir is already COM
pleted.
A consideration of the stream
flow data relating to the flow of
Snake river, indicates that the
water supply is ample and sufficient
for the needs of the proposed dis
trict, together with other interests
and lands which are, under present
plans, to receive water from the
said reservoir.
Reservoir Construction
Abundant data is available, bear
ing upon the feasibility of empound-
ing water in American Falls reser-
voir, including records Of foundation
tests conducted by the United States
reclamation service and a careful
study of the reservoir basin by ex-
pert biologists, all of which are
favorable.
/ am convinced, therefore, that
the proposed reservoir is practicable
and feasible.
Purpose of Organization
A consideration of the petition in
dicates clearly that this district is
to be organized for the sole and
only purpose of financing the pur-
chase Of water in the American Falls
reservoir and that when this func-
ton is performed and the obliga-
tons growing out of the same are
discharged, the district will have no
other functions to perform, 1t being
the plan for the present canal COM
panies and organizations now de-
livering water to lands in the pro-
posed district, to function as each
may for itself from time to time de-
termine. The proposed reservoir is
to be constructed by funds contri-
buted from this proposed district,
other irrigation districts and COM
panies desiring additional water,
and by the United States govern
ment, each to the extent of their rel

TWENTY MILLION
TO ATTEND SCHOOLS
Great Responsibility
Rests on 100000
Teachers

On Tuesday, Sept. 8, the tramp of
over twenty million pairs of feet will
be heard from one end of this nation
to the other. From the rolling hills
Of Maine to the balmy sands of
Florida; from the praries Of north
ern Minnesota to the cotton fields Of
Texas; from the hills about old
Boston to the sunny slopes Of Cali
fornia, this band Of future citizens
of this great republic will turn from
their work and their play and march
with quickening pace to the school
rooms of the nation. There, wait
ing to receive them will be found
100000 teachers, trained men and
women, whose hearts are filled with
spirit and enthusiasm ready to d.
rect the minds of young America
toward that goal which leads to as
Stunning the responsibilities of com.
munity, state and nation.
Who knows but that there is
smoldering in the breasts and minds
Of these oncoming children the heart
and mind of a Lincoln; the genius
of an Edison; the heart of a
Florence Nightingale; or the leader
ship Of Teddy Roosevelt. Woe to
the teacher who is not filled with
that spirit of patriotism and optim-
ism essential to the molding Of these
young minds into future citizens of
this great republic.
There are to be found today lurk-
ing within the boundaries of this
great nation, foes which are far
more deadly than any that may be
found without. 1t is comparatively
easy to guard against the enemies
from without, but the deadly foe is
the one that seeks to poison the
minds of our citizens against our
country and it's leaders. Today while
we are still in the aftermath of the
World War; when all are trying to
get back to a safe and sane basis;
when our nation is torn apart by the
fierce struggle between capital and
labor, there are going abroad in our
land men and women whose lives
are black as night, and whose utter
ances are as poisonous as the fangs
of a rattlesnake, seeking to SOW
seeds of distrust and antagonism
against our government. These men
and women have no future. They
are against all government, they
want no church, they would even de-
stroy the home.
They are even creeping into our
schools that they may SOW their
doctrines of distrust upon the fertile |
mind of childhood, where their
thoughts will burst forth and bring
fruit earlier. y
The time has come when men
and women of every community in
our land must stand forth and
shoulder the responsibilities of our
public schools. They must insist upon
the right kind of teachers for their
children. The men and women in
executive positions in our schools
must see to it that there is no place
in their system for the un-American
teacher or for the teacher who is not
fully prepared for her work. Eff
ficiency must be their cry and that
20 be obtained with the least outlay.
They must not be afraid of work,
and should be willing to give few
more hours than are required of
necessity. With teachers having
these characteristics, whose hearts
beat true, and who are inspired
with the optimism for the future,
we need not fear for the future of
our nation.

Missouri Mules Sell at
Lowest Prices in Years
Farmers Are Selling Good Colts at
$1,000 to $4,000 a Head

PARIS, Mo-Sales that are being
made here of mule colts indicate a
rather sorry market for farmers who
have been raising them this spring,
the prices ranging from $40 to $50.
Joe Kindig, OF York, Pa, who has
been in the country making purchas-
es, declares that the present prices are
the lowest that he has been paying
since 1898 when he paid as low as S.
head Some of the colts were extra
good, but even at that the farmers
seemed to be anxious to get rid of
them at $50 a head, the top price.
Farmers believe that the market will
be bad for some time to come and
that no money is to be made this year
in mule colts.
The present prices are a big con-
trast to the 500 and SIPS that were
paid for high class mule colts several
years ago.

THE "MAJOR UPWARD
SWING" IMPENDS
ALL AGREE THAT
STAGE IS SET FOR PERIOD
INDUSTRIAL EXPANSION.

ATLANTA, Ga.-Financiers and
other students OF economic skies here
all appear to agree that the stage is
set for a very substantial period OF
Improvement and expansion IN indus
try and hence in business generally,
Gradual, but steady Improvement has
been going forward during the last
few months, and there IS no doubt, 1t
is pointed out in Atlanta, that the
general tone in commerce and INDUS
try is better now than at any time III
the past two years.
What some Atlanta statlsticlans re-
fer to as. the major upward SWING
seems to be in its inCipienCy, be token
ing several years, at least, OF good
business, on a normal basis. The TACT
that industrial and labor troubles and
controversies and railroad strikes were
accepted by the public generally IN a
more or less matter-ot-tact way, and
without dampening the morale or gen
eral forward-looking spirit OF the peo-
pie. is pointed to as evidence OF more
solid foundation ior the present bust
ness movement than Georgia and the
south have experienced in many years.
With the settlement of the railroad
strike the future outlook for better
times has been even more aCCentuat-
ed
One of the factors in the situation
pointed out by Forrest Adair, presi-
dent of the Adair Realty and Trust
Company of Atlanta and conducting a
national business. as OF significance is
the large amount OF available money
as compared with the small demand
for capital just at the moment, and
therefore easy money rates. Accumu-
lation Of capital is itself not an indi-
cation of expansion in the business
world, Mr.. Adair shows, for it is when
business and industry marks time that
capital accumulateS. However, such a
condition in the money market pre-
sages such a period of expansion, Mr..
Adair says, for with restored conf
dence, business and industry quickly
begin to resume their forward march
when capital loses some OF its timidity
and is available in quantity at reason
able or low rates.
Lessons of Business Depression.
Mr.. Adair has put the query, What
have the people learned from the re-
cent business depression? lie SHOWS
that when stocks and bonds were de-
clining daily, many investors in need
of ready money were forced to sell
their holdings at great loss. In some
cases the savings OF a life time were
swept away Shrewd investors, he de-
clares, are now turning to investments
which are free from huctuation and
manipulation, such as protected bonds.
Since the day his company was es-
tablished 81 years ago, no investor
has ever lost a dollar through a first
mortgage investment which it recon-
mended, Mr. Adair says.
Money, or capital like the rest of
us, is getting over its wartime spree
and must go back to work at lower
wages and must do real work at that,
ii it earns anything" Mr.. Adair said.
This condition is highly favorable to
increased business and industrial eX-
pansiOn and progress"
