ri CHEAP.

POTATOES are cheap. The cost
i this fall will perhaps be about
one-half what it was a year ago.
You can eat all the potatoes you
want and not be extravagant. The
department of agriculture of Mon
tana estimates that the state will
produce six million bushels this
season. The crop is plentiful
throughout all of this section.
These circumstances bring out a
matter which was placed before
the Commercial club by the agri-
cultural committee the other day,
In the first place, we should buy
the homegrown potatoes. Our
distributors should not ship them
In. Two or three weeks from
now, it would be a fine thing if we
could have a big potato buying pc
Rod. They are so cheap that q
good big stock can be put in every
vegetable cellar at a small invest
ment. Besides, the farmer needs
this cooperation in the presence
of a big crop. There might wei,
be an effort on the part of thi:
city to get in touch with the nearby
production and use it just as fully
as may be possible.
