'aWhile the duty of so cents per
hundredweight may be considered
as a large import duty, it has failed
in providing that protection to
which the American potato grower
is entitled.
The importations Of potatoes
into the United States in the year
1926 was {, 646,236 bushels, of a
value of $4,000, 038; in 1927 the
importations of potatoes in bushels
was SCOOPS and of a value of
$5,015, 575 between January 1 and
September 80, 1928, the importa-
tons of potatoes into the United
States was 2,652,055 bushels and
of value of So, 1871. The impor-
tations of potatoes in 1925 will be
far in excess of the amount inn
ported that year had it not been
for the fact that there was then
an embargo against European po-
tatoes, which prevented any pota-
toes from Europe entering the
United States. In that year Ger
many produced approximately
SOC, 900, 900 bushels with a domes-
tic consumption or approximately
SOC, 100000 bushels and the bal
ance was clamoring for entrance
into the United States, but on ac-
count of the embargo laid down
could not enter. 1t is easy to see
if there had been no embargo and
with the chief transportation from
German ports to the ports of the
United States, what disastrous eff.
feet German competition would
have been to the American pro-
Queer.
'In my opinion, and supported
by economists and those who have
made study of the potato situa-
ton IN the United States it is ap-
parent that outy of 80 cents per
hundredweight is really necess ary
e the American farmer producing
this commodity may enjoy the full.
est renefits of the protective tai. fl.
N have no doubt that the men,
kers of this committee are in ac-
cord with other members of con-
gress in tleir belief that the Amer
lean farmers should enjoy the ga ne
high standard of living that chose
engaged in other industries have

"The farmers producing pota-
toes in the interior of the United
States and especially in Minnesota,
Iowa, North and South Dakota,
Montana and in portions of Wis

by the high cost of transportation.

The big snow storm Tuesday
evening surely spoiled our attend
ance for this week. Monday we
had almost perfect attendance
Those who let the weather scare
them after the storm were: Eldreds,
Daniel Kane, Starrys and Arvilla
Uphus. The rest of US kept up
our good attendance record.
Miss Moran just finished read
ing "John of the Woods" to us. 1t
was very interesting story. We
hope that we will enjoy "eThe Adj
ventures of Tom Sawyer" which
she just began, as much as we did
"yohn of the Woods"
The eighth grade has been ramb-
ling with Irving through Sleepy
Hollow. We don't know whether
we would like to go to school to
Ichobod Crane or not. We're glad
that there isn't birch tree growing
so near to our school.
The fourth grade has begun a
drive to get rid of "Aint". We
know that there is no such word.
We hope that they will succeed in
showing the rest of the school what
words to use in place of the word
they are chasing away.
Friday after recess we had a IL
brary period. After drawing out
our book for next week, we began
to guess riddles.
From the list of those we
couldn't guess, we see that there
are a great many books we should
read. Miss Moran read us a story
full of hidden titles of books. Lor-
ena Marx knew more of them than
any other person in school.
/ The sixth grade has left Europe
and is at last busy with our study
of Asia. We have a great deal-of
geography to get in these last
months.
