selected by the state marketing oiTi-
cials in order hat as large a por-
ton of the crop as possible may he
marketed direct from the .ields.
without the expense of storage. and
housewives in New Jersey and
neighboring states have been advised
to place their orders for delivery at
this time.
To aid in the economic movement
of the enormous crop, dealers in
many cities throughout the state
have agreed to handle the potatoes
in quantities during Potato Week"
a small margin of profit. Chambers
of commerce in several communities
are promoting the sales program in
the interest of the grower, dealer
and consumer, where farmers will
agree to deliver only graded stock.
So great is the crop in central Sec
tons of the state that growers,
themselves, have started a move
ment to keep out of the market all
but first class stock. More than 500
growers throughout the state are
selling none other than graded and
officially inspected tubers.
THE white potato production is
good all through the East, with New

est crops in recent years. declared
Chief A. i. Clark, of the State Blu

should seek to lay in a winter sup
ply of potatoes this month, when
they car be handled to the best adj
vantage. Prices, probably are as
low now as they will be at any time,
as many of these New Jersey Dota-
does will be shipped to other states

toes now for winter, housewives
should insist upon stock of the Green

The general sentiment seems to be
that the election next fall, so far as
congressional candidates are concern
ed, is anybody's race. The republic
ans have not been able to say few
magic words and lay prosperity at the
feet Of the people, and this fact will
cost the party some votes at the
coming election. The public expects
results mighty quick in changing ad-
ministrations as the changes are in
yariably made because of dissatsfac-
ton with the party in power. The
vote in 1920 showed that the people
were pretty well fed up on democracy,
at least for the time being, and the
proposition now hinges to great ex-
tent on whether or not the voters
have for gotten the weaknesses of the
democratic administration in dissatis-
saftion with the depublican admins
tration. There is some reason to be-
lieve that they will recall that the |
wasn't in the best of running
