NEBRASKA. FOTATOES HAVE
BECOME STANDARD FOR SEED
In a few weeks another great Ne
braska crop will have come to ma
turity and fared forth to become a
substantial cnterpiece on the dinner
tables of the high and low. Nebras
ka potatoes, raised to the dignity of
a major crop and shedding its nick
name of "spuds" like a discarded gar
ment, will be going to market.
And going to market is some occa
sion in Nebraska, for in 1S29 7,400
carloads went forward from the place
of harvest to points within the state
crop of 1,392,824 bushels. Box Butte
was second with a production of 1,
037,322 bushels. Buffalo county was
third with 225.870 bushels.
There were planted to potatoes in
Nebraska last year 92,000 acres. The
average yield was 97 bushels and
the total production 8,923,907 bush
els. The value of the crop per acre
was $100.70. The total value of the
crop was $9,816,301.
Potatoes have been advancing from
a vegetable side line to a major crop
steadily for many years. With the
state established in the big business
of raising potatoes, better methods
of planting and cultivating have been

Nebraska potatoes has become known. 'adopted with a resultant increase in

The commercial crop in western Ne
braska this year is very promising.
The estimate for the United States as
a whole i 732,557,000 bushels which
is a sufficiently low production to
command a good price for the Ne
braska crop.
Nebraska certified potatoes have
become standard for seed in all po
tato growing states and in Central
American countries. An association
in northwestern Nebraska grades the
potatoes and certifies their quality.
When these members of the royal
family of the potato kingdom ride
forth in humble sacks on their mis
sion of bettering the quality of the
food of the nation, western Nebras
ka is telling the world of the super
quality of Nebraska soil.

Wahington. Aug. 22. President
Hoover's law enforcement commis
sion was reported on reliable author
ity Friday to be almost unanimously
of the opinion that prohibition can
never be enforced effectively.
This report arose in the discus
sion that has followed the state
ment of Chairman Wickersham that
the committee "was unanimously op
posed to the theory" of the Jones
5-and-10 law.
Judge William S. Kenyon of Iowa
is the only member of the commis
sion who has faith in the effective
enforcibility. of the prohibition law,
according to this authority. As a
senator, Kenyon was an ardent dry
and is the co-sponsor of the Webb
Kenyon act to prohibit the interstate
transportation of liquor into dry
Btatea before national prohibition.
Predict How

commission will recommend on the
prohibition question, no one in auth

is likely to be a livefy row over the
issue when the time arrives a year

it is said that the commission will
make no specific recommendation,
such as outright repeal of the Eigh
teenth amendment or modification of
the Volstead act, or such alternatives
as government control of state regu

The commission is more likely, it
is said, to merely report the facts as
