Logan Payne Co. CHICAGO NEW YORK BOSTON st TEER tr a eT STO The Seed Potato Industry 'The farmers of North Dakota deserve no little praise for the rapid strides they have made during the past hhalf dozen years in the production or introduction of better seeds. This includes cereal and root crops, legumes nd garden plants. A notable improvement has been! made in potato culture, and large areas are now under! state certification both in the eastern and western por- tion of the state. In 1928 McKenzie county farmers) produced enough certified Early Triumph seed potatoes | to send a train load of 24 cars to the state of Louisiana, and about an equal amount was sold in carload or less than carload lots. 1 At Arnegard and Watford City the growing of seed potatoes for southern markets has become an established and profitable business, but it should be noted that the, growers had to spend several years in the school of hard knocks before achieving success. Neighboring commun- ities, wishing to share in this profitable business, have gone in for potato certification, but have not made as rapid progress as they had expected. tphe result has been that growers who are easily dis- couraged have dropped out, leaving here and there @ Handful of fighters who are grimly plodding along, determined to wring from nature her innermost secrets about the little round tuber. They have learned their ptimary lesson, namely, that the potato game is not mastered in a single season, and are now safely on the road to success. North Dakota, like the state of Maine, is richly en- @owed with all the elements necessary to produce pota- toes of the highest quality; but the Maine Yankees have been in the business longer and have more experience. Maine has led all other states in potato production for seven years, and Aroostook county in that state is the acknowledged potato center of the United States. In 1929 Maine produced 50,120,000 bushels of first class potatoes, and a considerable portion of these were shipped south for seed. North Dakota has not, as yet, gotten very far with | potato growing as an industry, due largely to the fact that this state is far removed from the large markets, and must depend on an expensive rail haul, which makes the growing of potatoes for ordinary table use unprofit- able, except in short crop years when high prices rule. It is different with seed potatoes, which command a suf- ficient price to make the grower a profit, even with high freight rates. Potatoes make bulky freight, but it is believed that the shipping problem can be solved, at least as far as west-/ ern North Dakota is concerned, by the introduction of barges on the Missouri river. Such barges could serve the double purpose of carrying lignite coal and pota- toes—lignite’ for ‘the intermediary markets, and potatoes for the communities on the Mississippi south of St. Louis, Whether such barges could make the return trip up-stream with or without pay loads, and without fi- nancial loss, is a nut that will have to be cracked by the tradesmen and the engineers. ‘There are several barge lines in successful operation, the one nearest to us being the one at Minneapolis. If souri river, it would open a cheap and fairly direct route | to southern markets, and would make every county along the river a potential field for the growing of certified @oubled in value. Technique Required ‘We have grown so used to hearing experts tell the farmer what is the matter with him (the farmer) and what to do about it that some city folks have developed ® superiority complex. speak of the farmer and of farming with thinly disguised contempt. For a North Dakotan to take such an attitude 4s a good deal like sneering at the goose which lays the golden eggs. done for them by politicians, who first point to the ill and then offer a remedy. It is not characteristic of the man on the soil to be a fast talker. But when farmer friends of The Tribune drop in for a chat, as they do now and then, we learn things about farming and farm conditions which are not recited in books, We can cite these conversations to the would-be citywise as proof that farmers do think and think clear- ly. Also that they have a range of information regard- the information of men in other lines of endeavor. “One of the troubles with the farmer,” observes one of these friendly callers, “Is that some of them are lazy. ‘There is just as much difference between farmers 2s between city people.

Dr. Cummings ap- corded during the calendar year for any other single communicable disease, omnipresent measles not excepted. notifiable diseases probably is far from complete, there is no reason to believe that cases of venereal disease are being reported any more completely than cases of other diseases. On the other hand, data obtained from preval- ence studies which have been made up to the present time appear to show that the incidence of syphilis and gonorrhea in the United States probably is much higher than that indicated by the state reports.

Feed- ing cheap rye and wheat is good sense, but a man wants to know what he is about before he starts it, says this informant. All of which contains the elements of a short course in husbandry. No farmer is bragging about the profit he is making, but there are some who are “getting by” in pretty good shape. One gets the idea that in farming, as in other things, technique is required—and that a good deal depends upon the technician. Sound Morals vs. Nasty Subjects Persons of sound social and moral conceptions often find it unpleasant to discuss the seamier side of our many complex problems, yet it is they who should do so because it is upon the moral and social consciousness of the good people of the nation that progress depends.
