Dorothy Dix Says
Common Politeness Due Husband
Even Though Your Love Is Dead

Dear Miss Dix-I am 80. Married.
Have a sweet little daughter. My
husband is quiet, nice looking man
and is very popular with all who
know him. He is a perfect gentle
man. Works every day. Does not
drink. Goes nowhere without me.
Gives me all his money. Helps me
around the house Is very nice to
my family and friends. Goes out of
his way to please them for my sake.
But still l do not love him. 1 hardly
speak to him except to argue with
him and to find fault with his
mother, who I know in my heart is
perfect lady and a sweet woman.
1 have no boy friend and do not
care for men. make life miserable
for my husband and he is getting
very sick. The doctor thinks it is
because of the strain under which
he lives. Lately I have begun to be
suspicious of his falling in love with
girl at the place he works, but
he still brings all his pay home. I
know that if he had a wife who
loved him he would be happy. but
just can't, and I am afraid that
l am teaching our little girl to dis
like him as I do. What shall I do?
s. D. M.
Answer:
I should think that the first thing
for you to do would be to act like
a human being instead of fiend.
Even If you don't love your hus-
band, there is no excuse for you
torturing him to death and, accord
ing to your own account, that it
what you are doing. Give the poor
fellow a few breaks.

Fair Market Prospects
For Quality Potatoes

Fair market prospects for Ohio po-
tatoes emphasize the need for care
full harvesting and packaging so the
growth can obtain the maximum
amount for his crop, according to E.
B. Tussing, specialist in vegetable
gardening, Ohio State University.
Several factors are responsible for
loss of money on potatoes after the
crop has been produced. Immature
potatoes have thin skins which are
easily broken or the potato may be
damaged by lying in the sun after
digging. Broken skins on such po-
tatoes detract from their appearance,
and the developments after sunscald
may ruin potatoes for cooking.
Good potatoes can be made into
culls by injuries in digging or
handling. Mechanical diggers should
be operated so the blade passes be-
meath the potatoes. Enough dirt
should be lifted with the tubers to
protect them from bruising while
going through the machine.
Ohio potato growers have sold
most of their potatoes in nearby
markets so have not been greatly in
teresting in grading or packaging
the crop. Most women buyers now
adays do not buy potatoes in 100
pound sacks, and they watch the po-
tatoes as the seller puts them in
small containers.
Buyers who see small potatoes
ill-shaped tubers, or any other un-
desirable ones usually prefer to pay
a few cents more for package OF
out-of-state stock which is uniform
in size and appearance. Ohio cities
annually are markets for many
thousands of bushels of potatoes pro-
duced in states which have acquired
a reputation for marketing good
stock.
Ohio marketing laws require that
potatoes sold in packages be labeled
according to Ohio grades which are
the same as federal grades, except
that packages of potatoes can be sold
ungraded if they are labeled un-
graded or growers grade. The
Bureau of Markets will inspect and
The Bluffton news. [volume] (Bluffton, Ohio) 1875-current, 1939-08-31

certify the grades of potatoes at a
minimum charge.
Mr.. Tussing says that 15-pound
bags have proved to be popular
size of package for the retail trade
in potatoes. Roadside stands have
been successful in disposing of CO.
pound bags of tubers. However, the
potatoes in the sack rather than the
container itself will determine wheth-
er the buyer will give repeat order.
