Ad yat today thara (a a likelihood that

5 Now tha truth of the matter la that
Sorer before In the history of the United
tatea has there been such a universal
demand for Pacific eoaat potatoea. In
the aouthwestera atatea aa at thla time.
Xurlng the past month the ahlpmenta
of potatoea from thla state have been
broken for all time and at the rate the
rars are attll going out there will not be
a single car of potatoes of marketable
quality remaining in tne state or vre-
gon when the present season come to
n end. f .
Instead of decreasing aa they usually

matter is that tne native growers aione
produce more than the brewers of Great
Britain can use. If a tax was' imposed
on foreign-grown hops, and better
prloes were obtainable, tha inevitable
result would ba that thousands of acres

'From tha 'NewTorlt Sun. - - '
Down on the easy rolnar aulf coast. -
where -everybody loafs and is happy,
there are one or two awful thouahta
which occasionally shudder through the
pleasant dreams of the Inhabitants. The
most dreadful 'of these is the horrlfio
suggestion of a possible failure of the
mullet crop. !'.;-- -
The mullet crop Is locally known aa
Blloxi bacon, because down there it is - -aa
absolute a necessary of life as pork '
Is elsewhere in the south. The visitor
to all the gulf resorts Is more addicted
to mullet than he realises.- It some
times parades on the -bill if fare as .
trout or ' something else which atvea
variety to the menu.
jbui do not deceived. While the coast
ca,n furnish a good - mullet no other
fish need -anolv. The names are
changed to satisfy the uneducated
northerner, but the fish remains the
same. Just what a hold the mullet diet .
haa on the natives is clear from a story
they tell about Biloxt. - ,
A good many years aro. there was a
mullet famine along- the coast. The
people had to tall back on other fish,
such as the humble speckled trout and
the unlntellectnal r sheenhead. It was
a time of . sacrifice whose memory has
Survived until thla lav. whan, it In
declared, the old Inhabitants recall It
with a shudder as they repeat their
mornln supplication: v.tjivs us this
day our dally mullet 1
It la said that a Bllotlan can pretty .
nearly navigate his whole career, from
Infancy to death and burial, with mul
let as his chief dependence. - When he 1"
a baby. he cuts his teeth on a piece of
mullet; aa a boy he fishes for it; the
chief requirement In a wife is that she
shall know howt to cook it, and it is
most consolatory when served to the
funeral guests. -.
Durina; the civil war the people of the
mullet belt would 'have had -miglitv.
slim pickings If Jt had not -been for
their favorite fish, . Many a confedrHt
soldier Imprisoned by Butler on snf-
Inland has , cause to b grateful t

It Is not an easy fish to land with
hook and line, or even to catch with a
seine. '; "But anr one who can tbrow
a cast net to spread over a cirrla of 12
or 14 feet savs aa authority, "ci
catch enouch of them lo an hour t
supply a doien families."
