drivers seem to think they had bad

is that they are just physically or
mentally constructed so that they
have accidents. In one large city 20

driving were found unsuitable, and
this number was reduced to 3 per

SAYS
NIB. HIGHWAY
TO GET FUNDS
Highway Director Includes
Route on Proposed Plan
for States Enlarged Sys-
TEN of Roads

Signs of results for the past years
work were revealed this noon when
Secretary Geo. d. Peters of the
chamber of commerce reported that
a recent promise had been secured
from Highway Director Lacy Muir
row that certain funds would be
available for work on the North
Bank highway this year.
MIR. Peters reported that in a re-
cent conversation with County
Commissioner Jay Perry, Mr.. Muir
row had stated that certain money
would remain after letting the num-
erous state aid road projects thru
out the state and that this money
would be used in extending the
North Bank highway.
Inasmuch as this road from
Maryhill east is not a part of the
state highway system, it has been
difficult to secure a state appro-
priation. Until this is changed by
the legislature but little hope for
its completion is held out, although
Mr.. MurroW, in a recent report in
which he outlined a proposed ten
year program, has the item includ-
ed as one of the principal improve
mentS for the future.

Seek Special Ruling
as Stricken Area

It won't be the fault Of the city
officials, the school board or any
one else locally, if the taxpayers OF
the district are not able to Sc
cure jobs on public works. AL To-
cal units are attempting to have
the rulings changed to the extent
of permitting others IMAM reliefers
to work this winter.
The latest move that is being
made along this line is to have this
district placed in the stricken area
classification. Because of the Sc
we're early freeze which cut down
on field and warehouse work, as
well as curtailing returns from the
late crops, many residents are in
need of outside work to carry them
thru the winter. Most of these peo-
pie would have been able to escape
calling for help had the crops not
been destroyed.

MAN, NOT LAND,
TO BE BASF IN
NEW SPUD CODE
Stamps to Be Issued on Quota
Each Grower is Allotted;
County Third in State in
Potato Production

So many inquiries are being made
regarding the new potato program,
according to Waldo w. Skuse, coun-
ty extension agent, that it has been
considered advisable to give the
main points of information which
are available at the present time.
At the annual conference in Pull
man of all extension agents of the
state beginning January 2, a full
supply of all necessary forms and
instructions will be given to the
county agents SO that Immediately
afterwards the work of the program
can be got underway. There is
urgent need for speed in this mat
ter as good many of the early po-
tatoes in Benton county are planted
in February.
The ssbase," which means the
amount of tons that man would
ordinarily produce, stays with the
man rather than with the land.
This is big help and is contrary
to the first information. The stamps
in different denominations in ac-
cordance with sizes of containers,
will be issued from the County Ex-
tension Office and only in accord
ance with paintings. For example,
if a man has a base of 100 tons
and his quota for 1896 is so tons, he
will only be issued the stamps for
80 tons if his acreage planted has
the prospects of giving that much
yield. If he plants less he will re-
ceive less stamps.
In case there should be a crop
failure, farmer will still be able
to have enough stamps to cover the
amount of the normal yield of his
acreage and his reselling of these
stamps to other growers who might
have excess potatoes to sell would
serve as crop insurance for him.
Stamps for excess potatoes desired
to be marketed can be purchased
from individuals at any price
agreed upon between the purchaser
and seller or from postoffices where
the rate is SIS a ton. The purpose
of this price, of course, being to
discourage the placing of too many
potatoes on the market because of
being improbable. Seed potatoes
sold are considered the same as
those sold commercially so far as
stamps are concerned. There are
no stamps needed for potatoes re-
tanned for personal use, as seed or
feed for livestock or for sale to
others for feed for livestock.
Any violations will be in the
hands of the Internal Revenue de-
partment.
1t is. still question as to how
accurate proof must be furnished for
commercial sales and production
figures. 1t is known that all of this
information is impossible to secure
but it would be well for growers to
begin getting this information In
shape pending the filling out of
the application blanks.
According to the census, there are
1882 farms in this county. How
many of them will be involved in
the sale of over SO bushels of pota-
toes a year is questionable but it
will be a very large proportion of
this number. Benton county is the
third county in the state in potato
production. Mr.. Skuse states that
just as rapidly as possible further
information and details will be put
before the people and the program
started. o. s-
