POTATO QUALITY
GOOD IN MOST SECTIONS

Although the Minnesota potato
crop shows a somewhat smaller
yield than last year, the quality is
good in most sections, says DR.. r.
B. Harvey, acting chairman of the
potato research committee at Uni
versity Farm, st. Paul. Hollow
heart Is much less prevalent than
for several years and is Of minor
Importance over the state as a
whole, some sections such as the
Red River Valley being free from
this defect.
At a recent conference of the
potato industry in st. Paul, called
by the state commissioner of agri-
culture, a resolution was passed to
set up better standards of grading
to insure high quality table stock,
and to gain, particularly, a large
portion of the Twin City market
for Minnesota potatoes. Misbrand-
ing, lack of proper sorting into
grades, and internal defects have
allowed the Twin City market to
be captured to large degree by
Idaho and other western potatoes
Idaho producers have carried on a
consistent program of advertising
especially on the larger sizes of po'
tatoes that Minnesota produces
with just as fine quality, but which
are not properly graded and adver'
tised.
The introduction of the Mesaba
potato, which yields a large tubei
with a smooth surface free from
deep eyes and tough russeted pee
will help to improve the quality OF
table stock potatoes, especially fol
baking. Minnesota growers ano
jobbers must get together to support
program of grading and adver
Using that will re-establish the fine
quality Of their potatoes on the
market, say authorities.

Tahitians Swim

The Tahitians are wonderful I'm
der-water swimmers and love to
swim out to their coral reefs, where
magnificent underwater ferns and
plants grow in profuse kinds and fam
tastic shapes. The Tahitians can
stay under some time to gather
these tropical flowers; they like to
wear them in their hair. There is
only one place that they are forbid
den to swim. That is the Sacred
Blue Grotto of the Gods near Pa
peete, the capital. The water here
is an amazing bright blue and very
beautiful. The Tahitians have been
told by their medicine man that
they would Immediately be pulled
down by a deathly swift current in
this deep pool, waking to find them
selves in an open field full of flow
ers and surrounded by beautiful
peaks where the gods live.

balance of the planting stock will
consist Of wildlife food and cover
shrubs and such conifers and hard
woods as western yellow pine, Jack
pine, Scotch pine, green ash, black
walnut, and various species Of oak.
The trees will be planted on the
land of farmers cooperating in eros

the college and the service on four

control camp areas in the state.
The projects are located at Winona,

TO PLANT 865, 100 TREES
FOR EROSION CONTROL

Trees for soil defense-865,1 100 of
them-will be planted on Minnesota
farms next spring as part of the
campaign against erosion conduct
ed by University Farm authorities
and the Soil Conservation Service.
On denuded hillsides, in quilted
areas, and on waste ground sub
ject to soil washing, the trees will
serve not only as living barriers"
against erosion, but also as Ravens
for wildlife, explains H. A. Flueck,
state coordinator for the service.
Planting estimates have just been
summarized by the regional office
of the Soil Conservation Service
at Des Moines, Iowa, according to
the announcement. Most CT the
planting stock for this state will
be furnished by the services tree
nursery at Winona, MINI.
About 100000 black locusts will
bear the brunt of the work of heal
ing up quilted areas, because their
ability to grow in poor soil, their
rapid growth, and their interlacing
root systems make them ideal for

Committee In House
.Favors Cutting Fund
Debate Starts On
Request BY President
For $875,OOO,OOO

Washington = (UP) - The full
house appropriations committee de-
manded that relief rolls be "purged
of malingerers" and recommended
formally the house grant President
Roosevelt only SIZE, 0OO,O 900 instead
of the $875, 100000 he requested for
the Works Progress administration.
(Webster's dictionary defines
malingerer as a soldier or sailor
who feigns himself sick, or who
induces or protracts an illness in
order to avoid doing his duty; hence,
in general, one who shirks his duty
by pretending illness or inability

The trimming of President Roose-
velt's recommendations by $780,
100000 precipitated the first major
conflict of the seventy-sixth congress
"a fight between conservative
Democrats and Republicans and
tho president.
The Republican committee minor
ity, in charging political scandals
in relief administration, cautioned
against making relief clients pay
the penalty for such activities.
Republicans advocated an appro-
priation sufficient only to last until
April Z to permit time for an in
vestigation.
AS a long range policy, they ad-
vocated ultimate substitution of "a
system of grants-in-aid to the states
along well-recognized principles
with proper contribution by each
state"
The Democratic report conceded
that under the proposed $3.50, 000,-

be discharged in February and 700,-

lesser cuts contemplated by Mr..
Roosevelt in asking $875, 200, 900.
Relief rolls now stand at approx

nineteen years after its first APP

Central library was in circula-

AZ Copies Out
Further research showed that AZ
copies of his books had been taken
out in the past few weeks, and
that this included not only the
later works and the better known
books such as "Arrowsmith,"
"Dodsworth" and ELMER Gentry"
but also some of Lewis earliest
novels, Our Mr.. Wrenn" (1914),
1.-THE Trail of the Hawk" 1915),
and Free Air (1919).
This is the more remarkable
since it is usually true that the
best sellers become very dead"
after their popularity is over. 1t
was interesting to find out who
was reading these books. One
copy of 'Our Mr.. Wrenn" had
gone out sixteen time in 1888. Six

Here, too, students, housewives, de-

students read "Dodsworth."
In recent years the library has
bought nearly $50 copies of Sin
clair Lewis novels. OF these, two
thirds have been worn out in cir.
culation. One hundred and fifty
| copies of main Street" alone were
bought for the Central library, the
hospitals, the county and the
branches. Most of these have been
worn out after year or more.
1t is a tribute to Lewis creative
genius that novels which were sc

Questions Pertaining
To Agriculture

What Is the difference between
the food value of honey and white
corn strip?
They are nearly identical, being
of value chiefly for energy. The
strip has nearly one-third more
iron than honey, while honey has
a slight trace Of protein and phos-
phorus. However, dark corn strip,
sorghum or molasses are better
buys, for they contain seven to 10
times as much iron per 100 calories.
Molasses is 30 times richer in cal
cium than honey or white corn
