fine QUALITY BROWN BEAUTY
POTATOES UPHELD THIS YEAR

During the present season
925 carloads of potatoes have
been shipped from the Monte
Vista station. The quality of
the famous Brown Beauties is
better than for the past two
years and there has been a
noticeable absence of blackleg
and other disease.
The potato market at this
time is somewhat demoralized
and the spuds are selling
around eighty cents.
The government report for
October shows an increase of
over 400 ,,illion bushels over
the preceding months esti-
mate, mostly from eastern po-
tato growing sections. Thu.
enormous increase is hard to
reconcile and simply proves
the inefficiency of these re-
ports.

HEAD LETTUCE BRINGS
$500 CRATE CHRISTMAS

Head lettuce is one Of our coming
crops in this valley and surround
Ing mountains for we have the aiti-
tuas which gives the cool. dry atmos-
phere 80 necessary for the sweet,
crisp heads which are liked best.
An instance Of the successful
growing of head lettuce during the
past season is furnished by Wesley
Davis who operated a ranch about
IL miles southwest of Del Norte on
Los Pinos creek. The Davis family
moved from their home in Monte
Vista the first OF April and started
planting May Is. The last of their
lettuce was In by the first Of June.
On account Of some poor seed and
unusually heavy rains. about SO per
cent of crop matured, but they
shipped 1900 crates from the twelve
acres seeded. This lettuce was
shipped through the Fort -Tidwell
company as No. l grade and Mr..
Davis received an average OF $1.5s
per crate. Some sold as high as
$1.70. A few crates sold locally
brought $3.50. The lettuce was
harvested from August l5 to Sep.
tsmber Is.
The time Of planting depends up
ON the elevation. as At the higher
attitudes the lettuce does not 60 to
sssa when planted early In the sea
soA. while this II sure to result
dova In the valley unless planted
late.
Head lettuce growing is expeu-
sive as there u = great deal of
we'd involved. The soil must be
prDared for planting - fine ~ .
sarlSn patch would be. Then the
rows must be weeded. OF course.
cultivating will clear away the weeds
between rows but men must hoe

desirsbiiity for storage 80 that II

II seems that there are very few
places where head lettuce can be
successfully grown and Colorado is

Its product.

AN EXTRA SESSION

Whenever great "movement' springs forth there is
always the minds of those who know something of poll
tics the question of whether the vocerous appeals and de.
nds spring from studied conviction or from keen scent
Of possible political advantage Just now price fixing on
wheat by Congress is the rmovement."
IAN interesting conversation took place in Bismarck yes
teltlay between from different parts of western
North Dakota One of them said that he had talked with
maAy farmers and found demand for priceixng and
he asked the question: Where does this demand for price
fixing from, anyway? If there is any pricexlng, he
said the farmer would rather have it the things he buys
than the things he sells The other took the position that
demand emanated from the farmers and voiced by
fixing dangerous precedent general rule but that
the emergency it the only to remove the dis
parity between the sale price of his produce and the cost
price of his necessities.
Senator Robert Toilette against extra session
of Congress and prce-xng Senator Brookhart of Iowa.
Senators Frazier Johnson and Shpstead in meeting decided
to call upon the President for an extra session OF
to fix minimum price wheat. meeting yesterday in
Fargo made demands somewhat along the ne though
chiefly with the idea of revvng the United States Grain
Corporation to purchase the wheat surplus

in North Dakota Whereas few years ago large number
of political leaders and followers voiced demand for the

is that the national government these ills They finally
the conclusion that the state could no3

The illness of President Harding makes improbable the
calling of extra session of Congress- Press dispatches
before his illness limited that the chief executive did not

TURKEY AFTER LAUSANNE

| Turkey ends twelve consecutive
years OF war with the signing OF
the treaty at Lausanne on Tues
| day last. She was at war for three
years before the breaking out OF the
| World war, with very limited in
tervals OF peace. Certainly sh =
needs peace; and the peace which
Will follow this treaty will give the
Turks a breathing spell.
Turkey has lost much by the
wars which she entered 80 wilsully.
Arabia, Palestine. Mesopotamia and
Syria are Turkish no longer. The
status Of these is known, and the
Star and Crescent has been sue =
ceeded by other banners. She has
lost in Europe much of the hinter-
land Of Constantinople. Her
losses in men, in money and gen
cral development are quite beyond
computation.
And yet Turkey survives. She
seam, victorious. That idea can
only be held by those who think
Of her as she was at her worst dur
irg the war and not as she was
when the fighting began. 1t is true
that Turkey is not so broken as
the armistice left her. that she has
made partial recovery since, but
she is by no means the Turkey Of
1911. territorially speaking.
Consider her status. She gets
back COnstantinOple. But she has
had that city for ages. And is il
an advantage that the capital OF
Turkey shall be under the guns of
Western powers? 1t is agreed
that the straits shall be open at all
times to ships of war and peace of
all nations. Is this a Turkish
gani? AS to the freedom OF the
straits and this exposure of the
Turkish capital, no doubt the Tur-
kish thought is that it can control
these passages when there is need.
with a few score OF torpedoes. and
that no paper stipulation can hin
der this.
The shaver and shorn Turks
made. however, certain definite
gains in the direction OF free SOW
e'eignty. All capitulations are
wiped out. The Turk is to be mas
ter in his own house, however hum
bile. Then they forced monstrous
thing upon the jangling Allies.
Constantinople has a large Greek
population which has lived there
in part even before the Turks
cane. ..
These wretched men must leave
Turkey, their wicked native land,
in which they. are aliens. And
then. to offset, Turks in the pro-
virces of Greece must pack up ami
20 into Turkey leaving behind them
lands cultivated by them and their
ancestors for hundreds of years.
Such is the bargain. But after all.
the Turkey of today is a weaker
Turkey by far than the Turkey OF
1911. 1t behOoves her to. be on
good behavior hereafter. Some dav
the Western nations will cease to
protect her through their mutual
r:valries.-Duluth Herald.
