January is. ini NEBRASKA'S SEED POTATO CROP IN HEAVY DEMAND The seed potato industry in Nebraska has developed rapidly during the past few years and that state now holds a prominent position among the districts growing potatoes for seed purposes. The western section of the state is the only part in which potatoes are grown for seed. About 30 per cent of the total shipments from the <Irv - ? > 5 per of the shipments from the irrigated district of western Nebraska ar~ sold as seed. Because of the high altitude (3,000 ?5,000 ft.) and cool nights, which produce a slow growth and normal development conditions in the dryland district are ideal for the growing of seed potatoes. Fields given the proper attention produce tubers possessing exceptional vitality. Because of its high quality the outside demand for Nebraska dryland Triumph seed in increasing each year. Some growers in southern producing areas will not take any other stock for planting. Named in the order of the quantity they use, the states using most Nebraska seed potatoes ( hot h common nnd 1 are Texas, Louisiana, Oklahoma, Colorado, Nebraska, Kansas, and Arkansas. During the last three seasons the annual increase in certified seed has been about 100 per cent. The acreage entered for certification this year was nearly four times as much as last year, but because of the large number of new growers in this industry and the development of fusaiium wilt the precentage which passed final inspection was not so high as' in 1921. The inspection standard continues rigid in order to protect the reputation of Nebraska certified seed. All potatoes certified for seed in that' state have passed two field inspection; and one bin inspection. After the final jasper-Jon the Agricultural Extension Service of the University of Nebraska issues to the! grower a certificate of inspection in conformity with these standards, and a seal tag for each 2 bu. of certified seed furnished to be attached to thej the sacks when shipment is made. Sales of about 50 cai loads of certified seed for December delivers had been reported early in the month, ranging from $1.77 to $2.00 per 100 pounds. pounds.?U. S. Market Report. The conditions of western Nebraska is identical with ours. Their altitude makes it possible for them to produce high class seed potatoes just as it does these counties along the top of the Blue Itidge. SHOOT HIM ON THE SPOT That is the policy of the bootlegger toward the officer of the law. A high-powered automobile, a highpowered Colt's revolver, a few fruit jars, jugs, cans and crates of highpowered liquor and the bootlegger is out for any high handed crime that suits his purpose at the moment. An officer of the law is no more than a dirty dog to these assassins of the highway and of the street. Policeman McCuiston, one of the i kindest-hearted and bait men of the Greensboro police force, was shot i down without a moment's warning i by Carl Talley and his gang, and the zeal of some was showii only ;:: a:, effort to punish the officers who pursued these fleeing murderers. And this Greensboro tragedy was hv no means the last instance of officers of the law being shot by these notorious enemies of law who prcpoai to sell liquor at any and all costs. The present General Assembly should close up some loopholes in the present laws against the manufacture and sale of liauor and then there should be the adoption by all judicial officers of a policy that would send all convicted offenders to the chain pang for such terms as would put an end to the illicit traffic in liquor. Liquor dealers who arc at heart murderers must be made to feel the mailed fist of legal justice. ?Christian Advocate.

MS W TURKISH 1 VIRGINIA I BURLEY ? ( f , Mate Farm I. on Syutum Prupi?<A What la regarded by the author ai vital relief for tbe small farmer unc % uractical means of meeting the tea sat problem and encouraging intea We farming, is proposed in a Mil pre rided for a State Farm Loan Com mis sion to lend money for the purchasi of land from a bond issue of $2,500.00( offered in the Senate by Senator D. F Giles, of McDowell. "There is no reason why any persoi In North Carolina should ever eat < head of lettuce or anything else growi In Florida and my bill will put a stoj to ail that" declared Senator Giles. Fruit orcherds in the West ant truck farms in the Piedmont ant Eastern sections of the State are th< dreams of the Senator from McDowol 3nd lio is prepared to make the fighj of his life to see them enacted int< law and his career has glren him i reputation as one of the hardest anc most efTectWce fighters in eithei branch of the General Assembly. "Do you think the bill will pass?" he was asked. "I know it will," was th? confident reply. Senator OUM r?T-OTkr??:<?n ? ? r.U(>u0VU U? VV/IU1I1I3 sion of which the Commissioner of Ag rlculture shall be ex-offlcio ch&lrmar and the State Treasurer ex-offlcio sec retary, with three other members t< be ..ppointed by the Governor. Loans would be restricted to farms of nol le3s than 50 nor more than 100 acres and loans would bear interest at a rate of one and one-fourth per cent grealei than interest paid on the bonds issued by State and loan** would be payable In 18 annual installments, the first tall Ing due two years after the daie ol issue and all of them becoming pay able upon the forfeiture of anyone. The machinery further provides foi a loan association in each county com posed of the clerk of the superioi court, the chairman of the board ol county commissioners and the chair] man of the hoard of education. This body would pass on all applications o! loans arising in its county and -?nlj loans approved by it would be submit ted to the state board. Senator Giles has an open mind or, amendments to his measure, though ho will insist upon the main idea. Al ready, he is preparing an amendment providing a scheme for even close; co-operation with the extension bur- uu of the department of agriculture than would he assured by making the CommiBBioner of Agriculture the head ol the board. Under this plan, the extension service would be charged with the duty of making invoAHe-ntw.* of the character of larming best designed for the agricultural Improvement of each section of the state and these recommendations may be written In to the regulations governing loans, so that only fanners intending to um improved methods and raise cropa suitable to the localities in which the? live will be given the preference in securing loans. "This bill, which simply means thai tho state pledgee its credit to the relief of the farmer, will mean that In two years from 1.000 to "1,200 farmi can be bought and after that payments will begin coming in and the board wilf have a rovoiv tg fund that will do Incalculable good," stated the Senator from McDowell. Senator Gile3 thinks that the additional one and one-fourth per cent provided in his bill will be Huffii ient to pay the expenses of tha board after the first two years. yuwv^wwvww/^^w. \ Tell Me Again i| T?LlM*(t*l4*iior7 * llU tm taU via ?
