(United Press) Oregon's potato output this year will exceed the 1916 yield by 10,000 cars, according to the estimates of dealers hero today. Potatoes are one of the big items in food ship ments, and the Oregon public service commission is urging . farmers and dealers to ship their potatoes as early as possible so that transporta tion facilities may 'he released for other crops as soon as possible. The commission has issued the following instruction to shipper: "Do your shipping today, while cars are available. Store fuel and other crops ahead. "Load and unload cars the day you receive them, regardless of the 48- liour free time limit permitted by our demurrage rules. "Ask for cars only when certain of being ready to load. "Give the railroad company immed iate notice when car is released. 1 "Load cars to full capacity (10 per cent above the marked capacity.) ' Bear in mind freight cars are for the transportation of goods and are not freight warehouses, and while they aro waiting for loading or un loading, from the standpoint of ef ficiency, they might as well be out of existence."
