POTATO GROWERS
TO SELL CROPS
THROUGH AGENTS
i t
Regulations to Be Enforced
Expected to. Give Producer
More Profit and Consumer
Better' Spuds.
The Nebraske Fotato Producers'
Sales association was formed at Al
liance on Wednesday, for the pur
pose of improving marketing con
ditions of potatoes from the farm
ers' poitt 61 view, and insuring bet
ter distribution, according to Hugh
F. Mcintosh, manager of the agri
culture bureau of the Chamber of
Commerce, who returned from the
meeting.
The association will be made up
of local federations of producers,
according to. Mr. Mcintosh, who
will be governed by the state body,
and will sell their crops through a
sales agent, who will conduct a
clearincr huse for Nebraska pota
toes. The. local organizations will
harvest, store, grade, pack and ship
the potatoes. The state organiza
tion will secure markets, by keeping
in touch with the demand in all parts
of the country.
Members of the association be
lieve that ttfis plan will bring them
greater profits, Mr. Mcintosh said,
and will result in better potatoes for
(lie consumer, and better distribu
tion. By observing the association's
regulations governing grade, only
the good potatoes will reach the
market, it is held. They believe
that a sales agent can get better
prices for the farmers without in
creasing the ultimate cost, through
eliminating potato speculation. His
vork will also prevent shortages in
certain markets, with over-supply
in others.
The fina1 organization of the as
sociation will come as soon as the
local branches are perfected, ' Mr.
Mcintosh explained. It is believed
that it will be in effect this year.
The plan of the Michigan Fruit
Growers' association, a non-profit
cc-ooration, will be followed.
In addition to farmers and county
agents from potato-growing regions,
Leo Stuhr, state secretary of agri
culture; George R. Boomer, repre
senting the federal marketing bu
reau; H. O. Werner, ot the state ag
ricultural college; Harry Schifferle,
Omaha commission man, and R. E.
Holland, of the state bureau of
county agents, attended.

Drainage of Lakes
Into Elkhorn River
Adds to Flood Menace
O'Neill, Neb., July 2.-(Special.)
The drainage of lakes in south
western Holt and southern Rock
and Brown counties into the' head
waters of 'the Elkhorn riyrV. con
tinues to keep the river at flood
stage at this point and may result
in an increase of the ordinary vol
ume of the stream. Many of these
lakes fomrrly drained into the Loup
rivers, but the heavy rains of this
year have caused the opening of
new channels to this side pf tha
divide. Unless the drainage, is di
verted to the old routes, the flood
on the Elkhorn will be greatly in
creased.
