Chicago Produce Market

Chicago. Nov. l.
Wheat had a downward trend most

Bears in the wheat market got some
advantage in the first part OF the dAy

mills again were rather liberal buyers

airy duties. he had to pay heavily Cor
his omission.
Thus we read that |hen. one Oct

$50 Legislators were absen. the
House, after long elaboration op the
appropriate penalty for such delin-
Quency. ordered that such members
as have rot appeared according to
summons shall pay the sum of 20
pcunds'-a very substantial sum in
deed in those days.
in Elizabeths time. too, we find
that when Knight of the Shire
tailed to present himself at Westmin-
ster. unless he had some very suf-
hc!ent excuse for his failure, he had
to hand over 20 pounds to the Elk
chequer; while defaulting burgess
escaped with a penalty of half that
sum. which still might easily repre-
sent months income.
Even absence from PRAYERS was
considered just cause for punishment.
Thus in Charles rs reign the member
who failed to put in an appearance
until the Amen" had been spoken
was called on to put shilingSin the
poor box.
Even Mr.. Speaker himself conId

In the early centuries this payment
probably fell short of eco a wear, for
IN the 18th century the rate was two

Not few legislators elected 70

WORLD POTATO CROP IN 1923

OF course, the worlds potato
crop was materially reduced dur
ing the war in view Of the fact
that the chief military ACTIVITIES
occurred in the great potato pro-
ducing section Of Europe which
supplied in normal times consid-
erab1y more than three-fourths Of
the potatoes Of the world. The
WORLDS record of potato outtnrn
fell from 5,S72, 100000 bushels in
1919 to less than 5000, 100000 dur
ing the most active period of the
war, but again crossed the S
billion line in 1922, the total world
outturn Of that year, exclusive of
Russia, having been 5N billion
bushels against the worlds high
est record, that of 1912, 5,573 OO0,-
600. The worlds potato crop
slightly exceeds, in quantity, that
of any other starch food, the high
records Of world outturn having
been: potatoes, in 1912, 5,8720O0,-
600 bushels; corn. in 1912, 4,371,-
100000; and wheat, in 1915, 4,1o8,-
100000 bushels.
Our own production of potatoes
is almost exclusively for home
consumption. We export . few
million bushels, but only q small
percentage of the entire crop, and
our imports are also comparative;
" small. The exports in 1920, the
nigh record year, were about 4
million bushels. and the imports in
1920 about 6 millions. The ex-
ports go chiefly to Cuba and
smaller quantities to Canada and
Mexico, and the imports are
chiefly from Canada. Potatoes,
as rule, do not enter largely into
international trade; they are
chiefly consumed in the country Of
production.
Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1923-11-02

partial reports from the principal
European countries in 1928 show .
slight reduction, it is quite appar-
ent that the European total for
1928 will be materially greater
than that Of 1921. even though 1t
should fall 20 per cent below the
abnormally. high year 1922. The
term "abnormally high year" APP
plies only to that section of .Eu-
rope for which official figures are
available. for the world is still
lacking information about the
crop Of Russia, which was prior
to the war a very large producer
Of potatoes.
Curiously. adds the Trade Rec
ord. the birthplace of the potato,
South America. is now one Of the
worlds smallest producers Of
that important factor in world
food supply. Prior to the war
the worlds biggest producers
were. in the order of magnitude
of production, Germany, Russia,
France, Austria, and the United
StatesA and even at the present
time despite the postwar bound
airy changes in Europe, the reia-
ton as to the production of the
respective countries, stands about
the same, the latest figures putting
the 1922 outturn of Germany a. l.
494,OO0O00 bushels, Poland, 1,220,-
100000, France 465,O00,O00, the
United States 4s1. 100000, with nc
available figures for Russia for
any year later than 1916. The big
potato production of northern
Europe is due to the fact that il
supplies a larger amount of food
per acre than do wheat or corn
The pre-war potato crop of Eu.
rope was said to exceed in both
quantity and value the recorded
wheat crop of the entire world.

Colby Harriers All
Set for intercollegiate
Cross Country Run

| Especial to The Kennebec JournaD
!! Watsrville. Nov. 1.-The stage Is all
'eet for the annual Maine Intercolle-
Yiats cross country run. which win
come of tomorrow afternoon over the
Ave-mile course At Colby. Coaches
MCGEE. Jenkins and F'lack arrived in
sWatervtlle this. afternoon with their
barriers all in excellent condition and
ready for Q fast and tough race for
the championship.
+ Coach Mike Ryan announced last
nisht that the following men would
run for the Blue and Gray In the race
tomorrow afternoon: Berry. Loveley.
Brudno. Payne, Smart. Warren and
Laughton. Coach Jack MCGEE stated
that he. would run Plaisted, Foster,
Ham. Howes, Small. Eastman and
Miller. The exact runners for Bates
and the University Of Maine are not
known but will be made public in the
morning.
Both Coach Ryan and MCGEE feel
that the race will be q fast one with
all Of the men striving for individual
honors, but that the fight for top
place will be between Maine and
Bates with the former being the
slight favorite in the run. Both track
mentors stated that all of the teams
are so nearly equal in strength that
the fight will be one to the finish. They
favor Hillman of Maine to pull in first
place with chances Of Foster OF Bow
dom. Payne Of Colby. Raymond of
Maine and Mckinley Of Bates placing
second. These five men are the out
standing stars who will be closely
watched tomorrow by all the track
fans.
Plaisted Of Bowdoin has been falling
behind in his performance of late, due
to a strained muscle in his side, but
in all probability will finish among
the first team men tomorrow afternoon
The coaches of Colby and Bowdoin
seem to feel that the cold weather
will hamper the barriers a little and
are hoping for a break in the tempera-
ture before noon TOMORROW for the run
ners to have 1t easier.
The race is scheduled to start at 3
o'clock sharp and should attract a
considerable number of track fans at
the finish, which will be in front of
the Woodman Memorial stadium short
1y after $50 o'clock.

The crossbuck and fake crossbuclk,

the loose center on defense. The
strategical thought behind the play
should be to combine the crossbucil
with the forward pass play III such a
way that the intentions of the offense
are masked as a forward pass at
tack. After the crossbucll has been
used successfully the time is ripe for
the fake crossbuck tactics. The sue
