MOVE 5000 CARS
OF POTATOES SOON
REMAINDER OF IDAHO CROP TO
BE SOLD AFTER MARCH l,
SAYS REPORTER

The Is leading late-shipping states
have shipped, up to March l of this
year, lis, ,371 900 bushels of potatoes,
and have yet to move 30,935,00 BUSH
els, says a report issued by julius H.
Jacobson, agricultural statistician of
the Idaho crop reporting service. MIR.
Jacobson'S report shows the standing
of potato stocks the country over on
March L.
Maine, New York, Pennsylvania,
Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Ne
braska, North Dakota, South Dakota,
Montana, Colorado, Idaho, Washing
ton, Oregon and California produced
in 1921 about 20 per cent of all the
potatoes grown in the United States,
and had a surplus over farm require
ments of $50 100000 bushels, or 81
per cent of their total production.
Idaho Quota 1927 Cars
Up to February %, 1922, Idaho
had shipped 1927 cars of potatoes"
Mr.. Jacobson says, land reports from
over the field indicate that there are
yet approximately 5000 cars, or 1,S45,-
600 bushels, to move after March L,
depending on prevailing market prices
and the amount of deterioration due
to the very low temperatures that
have prevailed the past winter. There
will also be some losses due to dis
eases.
Total stocks of potatoes in hands
of farmers and dealers March L, in the
15 states mentioned were 90,946,000
bushels, or SO per cent of the produc-
tion of these states, 73,4S6,000 bushels
being held by farmers and 17,460,0O0
bushels by Dealers
City Stocks Light
Stocks in New York city March l
were about 500 cars, including 200
cars on the tracks. Chicago had $50
cars, including 1870 on the track. Re-
ports indicate that stocks are lighter
than average at this season in Phila-
delphia, Baltimore and Columbus, and
heavier in Boston, st. Louis, Minneap-
oils, Omaha, and Kansas City.
Location production was an impor-
tant factor in the carlot movement of
potatoes this year. The 1920 potato
production was generally heavy IN the
large consuming areas, but IN 1921
the reverse was true when production
was more than usually concentrated
in the surplus producing areas, and
therefore it may be expected that the
carlot movement this season will be
heavy in proportion to the size of the
total crop
Eastern States Short
For example, in 1921 Pennsylva-
mia, Maryland Virginia, West Virgin
ia, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Mis-
souri, and Kentucky, which normally
consume in addition to their own pro-
duction the bulk of the surplus from
the northern ties of commercial states
grew 35,000,000 bushels less than in
1920. This difference, almost 10000
cars, did not materially affect statis-
tics of shipments from those states,
because of the large crop of 1920 be-
ing consumed locally, but the short
age of 1921 in this area was met by
shipments from other states. Maine,
North Dakota, Colorado and Idaho
had large crops this season, amount
ing to about 20000,000 bushels more
than in 1920. Up to February %, 1922,
these four states had shipped almost
29, 900 cars, or around 19,000,000 bush
els more than last year to the same
date"

than 300 university students and
townspeople The crowd gave the
Vandals most enthusiastic reception
despite the pouring rain.
Plans had been made for a larger
crowd but the rain of Sunday morning
seriously interfered. The band was
unable to turn out on account of the
weather but the crowd made up in
enthusiasm what they lacked in num-
berS.
Vandals Make Talks
Talks were made by President A. H.
Upham, Dean O. P. Cockerill and Yell
Duke Robinson led the crowd in a
number of Idaho songs and yells. AS
each member of the team stepped off
the train at the o. w. depot friends
grabbed for his suitcase and each Van
dal was forced to deliver an i'm
promptu address to the crowd David
Mcmillan, Idaho's premier basketball
coach, was called upon first and Cap
tain "Rich" Fox spoke next followed
by all the members of the Vandal
squad.
Reports of a most pleasant trip were
brought back by the Vandals, who
spent two days in Chicago on the re-
turn home and a day in Denver. Every
courtesy was given the Idaho men at
the national tournament at Indian
apolis and former Idaho students now
at Chicago showed the Vandal bas
keteers a good time.

day night before crowd of between
1000 and 1900 people.
The White City pavilion was con-
verted into basketball floor in order
to accommodate the crowd and II
larger place could have been obtained
the crowd would have been much big
ger.
All of the Vandals reported won
derful trip but they said they were
glad to get back to MOSCOW again and
glad to quit riding on trains although
every courtesy and comfort were
given the Idaho men by Northern Pa

DEFENDS BONUS.
Col. w. H. Minis Replies to Arti
Gle in The Times of Last Week.


Editor Fort Mill Times:
The gentleman YOU quoted in
the last issue of The Times as say
ing that he opposed the adjusted
compensation bill now before
Congress is either not an ex -serv-
ice man of the 3Jth division or Il
man who held position that paid
nim more than he ever received in
civil life.
The justice of the adjusted
compensation bill can readily be
seen without citing the numerous
Instances where men icti good
jobs and went inlo the army to
serve for from SO To TGU per
month. There is one instance
where u man who in evil life
earned $3.50 per month, enlisted
in the army and received u salary
Of $50 per month for three years.
making "a total of l.0SU. Had he
not gone into the army his total
earnings would have amounted to
50, 400 in the three years. Now
should the adjusted compensation
bill become II law, the maximum
amount that any one man could
receive in cash would be $625,
which is less than the legal rate
of interest on 81, ,4UO for two years.
The gentleman you quote sug-
geSts that small farms might be
allotted to the eX-scrvice men
from the government lands. He
might also state just where these
lands are and what use they
could be put to should they be
allotted to men who are not
farmers. Is ii possible for doe
tor. lawyer. merchant. butcher,
baker or any other man who is
not a magician TO earn II living on
any of the government land that
is now available for settlement?
| venture TO say that of the 4
million eX-Scrvice men who are
entitled to adjusted compensation
if given clear title to small
farm each, not = per cent of them
would accept. for the reason that
they would have no use for a
farm.
Possibly | have taken II selfish
view of the matter. but feel that
should be given IL bonus | would
only be receiving the interest on
what is due me and so would
every other man who served in
the World war. w. Ii. Minis.
