..arger Wisconsin Yield
Prentice. Wis. The acreage in po
tatoes this season was the largest
ever grow n here, as this is a new dis
trict for commercial potato growing.
Each year, however, more land is be
ing cleared. The yield was much
better than in 1916. and the average
per acre being about 140 bushels to
the acre. The tubers are of good size
and are considered clean stock as
very little scab Is in evidence. Most
of the acreage of potatoes has been
harvested, although cold weather the
last two weeks of October damaged
fully two-thirds of the potatoes re
maining in the ground.
o
Antlgo. Wis. This year the crop
of potatoes here shows a good in
crease over last and some very good
yields have been produced. The av
erage yield will be about 150 bush
els to the acre. The size and quality
of the stock is good and should store
well. There was about 10 per cent
of the acreage still undug when the
first freeze occurred, causing some
loss. Somewhat better than 5 per
cent of the crop was still undug when
the first freeze occurred, causing
some loss. Somewhat better than 5
per cent of the crop was still In the
ground as late as the close of the
previous week and this was severely
damaged.

Ladysmith, Wis. Large yields of
potatoes have been produced here on
the better soils where the crop was
planted early. The average yield will
be about 150 bushels to the acre.
Some acreage suffered severely from
the freezing weather during the lat
ter half of October. About half of
the crop In this section Is now out of
the farmers' hands.

Must Buy and Sell by Pound
Washington. D. C. Thursday the
Food Administration announced that
inasmuch as Rule 3 in the regula
tions applying to license handlers of
perishable food products provides
that "The licensee shall quote, buy
and sell potatoes only by the pound,"
and that as all commission men and
wholesale dealers are required to be
licensed, this means that it Is illegal
to quote, buy or sell potatoes on any
other basis than by weight. Here
after transactions contracted on the
basis of a hundredweight will be in
terpreted as transactions on a pound
basis by the Food Administration.
The statement further says that the
transaction of potato sales on a hun
dredweight basis over the entire
United States will eliminate confu
sion and give an intelllgont basis for
comparison between all markets.
Dealers are cautioned against fail
ure to comply with this rule. Re
tailers who do a gross business of
less than $100,000 a year are not
under license but they are urged by
the Food Administration officials to
aell on the same basis.

We have made arrangements to

anyway.
Jack's voice was heard this morn
ing, as usual, reading from the Den
ver Post the latest news of the day.
If the fact of tue young ladies of
the country kissing the soldier boys
makes better flghtiug men of them,
why wouldn't the samo thing apply
to anything else? Now, any of you
(good looking) girls who want to
make this column better, you know
what to do.
Some consolation is derived, at any
rate, from the fact that when we ar
rive home each evening from work
there is some one who is nlHrt m
greet us not matter what weapon
sne is carrying at that particular
time.
Sometimes, you know, we arrive
home early. On such occasions we
are usually greeted with a flow of
language that Is dazing. We find
consolation here in the fact that It
is just at that time of the clock when
all the neighbors are too busy to hear
it. and we are permitted to sit
Dear reader, It is safe to pemso

myself, cither, than everone does

and the great Old ItOrV about the kid

the Mind man.
It Is said that In Australia the busy
man or the idle one can sit at his
table and partake of his meals with
out any qualms of conscience about
being extravagant in view of the war
ai d the meatless, wheatless and OtlMf
"less" days. This Item proves very
interesting to me. I have no qualms
of conscience myself In these matters
as all my days are meatless and
wheatless. What would he the good
of living in Australia, anyhow?
I have just permitted my optics to
rest for a moment upon a placard an
nouncing that last Friday was to be
"flood Roads Day" and It recalled to
me the fact that there was somo sort
of a celebration of that kind held
down the road here. But the cele
bration was participated In by far too
few of those who should really be
the most Interested. Buck up next
time, men buck up. Oh yea, I waa

SAVE SCRAP METAL
Help your country and yourself at
the same time by disposing of scrap
metal, says the agricultural engi
neering department of the University
of Nebraska. Every farmer has from
two to a half dozen pieces of old ma
chinery which havt long since served
their period of usefulness. Every
pound of metal will be needed by the
government for the manufacture of
war materials and by disposing of hla
scrap metal, the farmer not only will
be helping his government but him
self also. If one Is close to even a
small city, the problem of selling the
metal can be easily solved. If one
lives some distance away, community
shipments can often be arranged.

PASTURE FOR BIUXB HOWS
Wheat or rye pasture is one of the
best feeds for brood sows, according
to the animal husbandry department
of the College of Agriculture. Where
the wheat Is well grown the sows may
be pastured on the wheat field and
t litis snve a great deal of grain.
Young sows should be fed more
grain than old sows, as they need to
make good growth during the winter.
Every farmer who can arrange the
necessary shelter and provide tho
feed for the winter and pasture next
summer should increase hia breeding
herd 15 to 25 per cent and try to
meet the demand of the Food Admin
istration for pork In 1918.
