potatoes are selling for less thar
two dollars per barrel today car
readily be appreciated.
"The blame for this situation can
not be laid at the door of the Eas-
tern Shore" continued DR.. Bomberg-
er. "Of the total of 1882 cars ship
ped from the Carolinas, Norfolk Sec
tion and Eastern Shore within the
past eleven days since the Shore be-
gan shipping, the Shore has contri-
buted only 1913 cars or 1736 of the
movement.
Under such an avalanche Of pota-
toes the market has been glutted and
prices have been driven steadily
downwards until prices are now well
under two dollars per barrel. In
confronting such a situation it has
been the policy of the Quotation
Committee to do everything possible
to prevent the farmers and dealers
from becoming panic stricken re-
sulting in frenzied rush to pile
their potatoes on an already over
loaded market.
! "Day by day prices quoted by deal
ers affiliated with the Eastern Shore
Farmers Association have been
from ten cents to twenty-five cents
per barrel higher than those quoted
by unaffliated dealers and fifty cents
to sixty cents higher than those paid
by dealers in North and South Caro-
lima. 1t is, indeed, remarkable that
the Eastern Shore potatoes have
been made to move under such hand
leaps, but up to the present there
has not been any substantial accu-
mutation on the tracks, and it is the
announced policy of the Quotation
Committee to keep the crop moving
if it is humanity possible to do so."
When asked about the future out
look DR.. Bomberger said that proph-
ecy under present conditions is both
difficult and dangerous, but he con-
cluded as follows: "Under existing
conditions there should not be much |
inducement to farmers to dig their |
potatoes unless they have matured |
to point where it is dangerous to |
leave them in the ground. Ten days
or two weeks at the outside ought to |
get the Carolinas pretty well out of
the market. When that happens, un-
less the Eastern Shore farmers be-
come panic stricken, the market
ought to improve considerably.
zone mans guess is as good as
another perhaps, but it seems reas-
onably certain that if the bulk of
Eastern Shore crop is held off the
market for ten days to two weeks,
here ought to be a better chance of
selling them at a reasonable price
han can possibly result from rush
ng them into an already overcrowd-
ID market.
"The Quotation Committee means
o stay right through the struggle
md will exert every possible effort
o stabilize the market and prevent

"Now is the time," concluded DR..
Somberger, more than ever before

These are the recipes l gave the
Club:
Toasted Nut Sandwiches
Toast over a slow fire pecans,
English walnuts or blanched almonds
in butter and salt, constantly stirring.
Slice fresh bread and spread thinly
with olive oil mayonnaise. Sprinkle
with the nuts, using the toasted butter
as part of the spread. Are best if
served immediately.
Cheese and Nut Sandwiches
Run fresh American cheese through
a food chopper until it is puffy. Mix
with enough evaporated milk to make
paste. Do not use fresh milk. For
this recipe, the evaporated is far
better. Season with salt and red
pepper. Mix with nuts and spread on
fresh bread without mayonnaise.
While this sandwich is better if eaten
at once, it can stand for hours, if
necessary and still be good.
Cheese and PimieHfO
Sandwiches
Run American cheese through food
chopper until it is puffy. Mix with
chopped canned pirniento and enough
olive oil mayonnaise to spread nicely.
This filling will keep for days, but is
better eaten at once.
'Pick Up Supper" Sandwiches
Toast bread on one side. On soft
side spread mayonnaise. Lay on this
a lettuce leaf, two slices of tomato and
two of crisp, hot bacon. Salt and
pepper. Serve at once.
Chicken Salad Sandwiches
Chopped chicken, sweet pickle,
chopped hard-boiled eggs. Pepper,
salt, celery salt. A little chopped
celery. Moisten with mayonnaise and
spread on bread.
Cheese Dreams
These are hard to digest, but oh, so
good on cold nights Crumble fresh
American cheese on fresh bread. Salt
Cover with another slice. Toast in
frying pan with butter. When brown
on one side turn and toast on the other.
Serve at once.

SmuttoX Wins in Control
of Oats Smut in Tests

SmuttoX wins hands down over for
maldehyde in controlling oats smut,
tests by farmers in several Ohio
counties during summer indicate.
d. L. Herman, extension agent H.
Auglaize county reports: "On the
two demonstrations where Mr.. Pier
storff treated the seed with smuttox
we found only one smutted head. The
formaldehyde-treated plots showed
0.6 per cent infection at Clyde Cope
lands and II per cent at Edward
Knierim's. Untreated plots on the
same farms showed ga and per cent
respectively. At the William Glass
farm the untreated plot showed 4
per cent infection; only one smutted
head was found in the four acres
treated with smuttoX."
In three demonstrations in Wayne
county, according to County Agent G.
A. Dustman, the dry smuttox treat
ment gave almost perfect control.
Farmers preferred that to the wet
fOrmaldehyde treatment. These tests
were arranged by Mr.. Dustman in
cooperation with Mr.. Pierstorff and
