Editorial Comment
Potato Pendulum
(St. Paul DispAtch)

(6C. Peul Ol4poxcn)
In 1928 the potato growers Of the Northwest received
about 50 cents q bushel for their crop, and the sections
Of the country where potatoes make q substantial con-
tribution to farm income were severely affected by the
depressed market. breaking down under the seasons sur
plus.
In 1920. with the lesson Of the previous year pretty well
In mind. potato growers diminished their acreage ten per
cent, and this acreage reduction. coupled with the cold
spring and dry summer which prevailed in some quar-.
tiers. resulted In an increase Of $50 per cent in the prices
which the grower received.
This very graphic contrast between the evils Of the sur
plus and the blessings Of a short crop, might have been
expected to prompt potato growers again to keep down
the potato acreage In 1880. But the potato pendulum. 1t
appears, viii continue to describe its customary arc from
surplus to shortage and will swing back to increased
production Ill unmindful Of the object lesson Of the past
two years. Potato acreage. according to indications which
the Department Of Agriculture has discovered. Will be
increased In nearly Ill Of the states.
Growers must now look for deliveries from the 1928
dilemma to the not ~iufrequent blessing Of . bad season.
It Is . long way ahead Of harvest time to predict crop
returns. but such . circumstance Is apparently the only
thing that viii prevent the destruction Of the 1880 mar
ket by another surplus.
Reaction Of potato growers to the experiences Of the
past two years illustrates some Of the difficulties. II not
impoesibilities Of acreage control. Nothing could more
f~orce1ully and clearly demonstrate the price Of over
production and the advsabiMty Of an even further de-
crease In acreage, than the potato situation Of 1928 and

LEARN TO PLAY

The traits Of fair play, honesty,
temperance and the 'pull-together''
spirit are built by athletics, making
them q valuable training for youths
and even adults. These are charac-
ter habits which long outlast the
school period and when carried into
life in the adult world make for as
much success in the game Of big busi-
ness as they do In the success In the
field.
I believe that everyone should learn
to play. Exercising Is usually q lone
some affair, and may or may not
yield pleasure, while the game played
with others implies entering into the
spirit Of play and the enjoyment Of
fun. Outdoor recreation should find
a place on everyone's program. All
games are specifically vitality charg-
ers. They release new energies, and
the Joy of playing. Of using the body
in a smooth. flexible and swiftly CO.
ordinated manner, brings q certain
satisfaction and q glow Of healthful
activity.
Athletics tune up the circulation Of
the blood and the circulation Of the
Emphatic system. They add to. the
vigor and power Of mind, bring pep,
and vitality flows into the body,
making 1t easier to buckle down to
work when work time comes.
Many people who are nervous and
discouraged find that by taking up
some game they gain q change Of
viewpoint which sends them back to
their work refreshed and recharged.
This is probably due to the release Of
the spirit Of play which adds q
sparkle of exhiliaration to the day,
making the sun seem brighter, and
the shade seem cooler, the drink of
water more priceless. and a good
lunch more to be desired than rubies.
In many cases, people who are too
thin find that by getting out and
playing they obtain enough oxygen
to aid in their assimilation 70 that
they can begin to gain. They also
gain weight from the growth of good
healthy muscular tissue which Is the
only way one should gain.

What Is a Filipino?

They have been staging anti-Filipino riots in Cali
foenia. Californians have long been known for their
general dislike and suspicion Of Chinese, japanese and
other ortentals. but the American Orientals who come
from the Philippine lslAnds have only lately come under

to the fact that Ftlipinos are . stay-at-home race, and
have only recently been coming to California In con-
siderable numbers.
The Fnipinos are q fighting people. W. do not recall
any Chinese Of japanese or Hindu boxers making any
mark or money in the pugiistc ring. but the Filipinos
have taken to prise fighting like the proverbial duck to

Latin, the Celt and the Semitic In the American realm
OF pueilism. And in the greater part Of the United
States their successful efforts have been popular.
Now the California boxing commission takes Official
action to bar Fflipinos from further fighting In the state.

Now Unite and Cooperate

Dealing in part in the why and wherefore OF it, the
talk of Samuel r. McKelvie. former governor Of Ne
braska and now wheat representative on the farm board
at the auditorium, Monday night. was a summons ;c
the farmers Of Burleigh county to get together in CO.
operative alignment Of some kind and thus aid in max
ing farm relief effective under the federal marketing
act.
This was advice to make the act operative SIS well as
beneficial to the farmers. suppleuen:ins this xas the
suggestion that farmers should work toward the remedy
of curtailirg surplus crops and raise these products
which are not grown now IN surplus volume. This was
practical adjustment Of crops to the Law Of supply and
demand, and without recognition Of this prime economic
law no farm relief scheme can get fsr, II anywhere.
The big consideration now is to set the farmers unit
ed in cooperation by membership in one Of this type Of
organizations. whether Of elevator service or terminal
marketing. With that accomplished. the farm board can
begin successfully to marshal its marketing strategy. The
goal of the board is to reduce the sale of farm produce
to the basis of legitimate trading. " eliminate the specu-
1ation and hedging. There are two schools of thought
on this, one contending that gambling In grain futures
has a tendency to enhance the price, as 1t does sone-
times, the other seeing only the depression that also may
result and the consequent Reorganization that results
from widespread adverse speculation. The depression
following the recent stock speculation debacle illustrates
the thought Of this school.
The farm board is committed to the contention that
there is no advantage-on the other hand, much harm
lin continuing to subject grain to speculative processes.
The board, as MI. McKelvie says. means to hasten the
day of legitimate trading in farm commodities by pro-
noting q farmer owned. farmer-controned marketing
system, whereby the natural laws of supply and demand
will have free play based upon the best information
available throughout the producing and consuming world.
With such a system Of marketing achieved. the farm
board feels that the main problem Of agriculture IS a
business will be solved. for 1t cannot be effected without
wedding out the detriments and slovenliness which at
present blight this business.
AS stressed by the speaker. what must be done, first OF
all and before there can be real hope. Is to unite the
producers. The sooner that can be done. the sooner will
orderliness develop. and on orderlness depend all the
hopes that have been built up by the new legislation and
its federal machine, the farm board.

four times, and the second congress
