Uuir. Jr.. President; Edwin M. liurr, Vice 1'ies. laent. II. M. Walker of Glen Has Good Words for The Potato Exchange H. M. Walker of Glen, Neb., in Sioux county, visited in Alliance Thursday, and in a conversation with the Herald reporter made it plain that he is not only S oux county's most active boost er, but that he is one of the strong adheients of the Nebraska Potato Growers Co-operative exchange, and a firm believer in its possibilities. Mr. Walker is a potato inspector for 11 is own bailiwick and knows some thing of the problem of selling spuds at a profit. Sioux county isn't et listed with the big potato' producing counties of the state,' but some two hundred acres near Glen were planted this last year, and next year's crop will be at least twice as large, und possibly three times. Practically nil or the potatoes have been ' shipped through the Nebraska exchange, v h ch has headouarters at Alliance, with the result piat every one of the growers is a strong booster for the co-opem-tive marketing plan, and the track-side buyers have had to retroat to other fields. "It's time vip-ht now to put wertein Nebraska on the map," Mr. Wnlkcr said, "the potato crop, in such s-oil as we have here, offers perhaps tlie purest opportunity for profit, provided they can be sold at an advantage. The co-operative marketing plan, where the fa!es are in charge of a bitf central organization like the North American Fruit exchange, with branches all o,-er the country, solves this problem. "Judging from news reports of tie potato game the past year or two, Sioux county hasn't been a part if western Nebraska, The newspapers have told of the enormous cips in l'ox Butte, Sheridan, Da.ves and a couple of other counties, but Sioux ctfunty hasn't been mentioned. I'm going to devote my time fro.n now cn to seeing that it gets its ritrlitfu! place. We have a comparatively new country out where I live-. It hasn't been so many years since sheep graz ing was about the only sign of lfe. But we'll be on the map before l.ng. "It won't be long before potato growing is one of the chief industries of western Nebraska. Over at Craw ford the merchants have rciliV.eJ it? importance, and they are talking of building a spud cellar that will furnish storage for thirty or forty thousand bushels, at their own expense. They will make a small charge for the j;c commodation, of course, but it will bt I of tremendous help to us. . We arc ! figuring out in our part of the orntr.v on organizing local companies to builr potato cellars in half a dozen towns, such as Marsland, Belmont, Gordon Clinton, Glen and others, to hold from ten to twenty thousnnd bushels n.th "The potato exchange has beer working under considerable of u handi cap the first year it has been in busi ness. , To begin with, there have Keen a few. disastrous failures in the co operative game, and these things make the farmers a trifle shy about going into another unt'l they know how it b iroinir to turn oat' Snmp f l!n mon who shipped through the exchange consigned only the:r poorest stuff. Out at Glen we don't do it that way. We have had an opportunity to compare prices at trackside with those we realized through the co-operative sys tem, and there's no comparison. Only a week ago a neighbor of mine was offered $1 at trackage for a car of No. 1 Triumphs, and the same day he sold them through the exchange at $l..r0. Yesterday I old a car ut $1.20 for which I had been offered only SO cents. Men in my part of the country are well pleased, and I predict that, by th't time next year, there'll be a whole lo' more potato growers agreeing witlt them."
