SCENES 'ATTENDING COUNTY'S DISTRIBUTION OF SEED POTATOES "Tou'd think potatoes were gold dol lars," .grumbled an elderly man, after be had stood in line in the courthouse lobby until the thing he wanted most, next 'to his own "sack of spuds," was a place to sit down. "Can't I get a little farther up In the line?" petitioned a little mother, who, unable to leave her youngsters at - home, had brought the three of them along. "I so wanted to get back In time to' plant my potatoes this eve ning," she pleaded. The hour set Monday for distribution of the county's seed potatoes was 2 o'clock. If anyone was tardy. County Agriculturist S. B. Hall and his as Klstant, R. J. Werner, did not know' of it. ' Before the big loads had been brought from the county farm on trucks, the use of which was generous ly donated by the Northwest Auto com pany, applicants for the seed on the "measure for measure" basis announced in The Journal last week had begun to , crowd around the courthouse. Would be gardeners, running the gamut from . age to childhood, waited anxiously with baskets and sacks and every other form of container one could think of. - The county agriculturist started to pass on all the applications himself, re ferring to alphabetical lists of those who had applied through The Journal. But it was soon seen that the process .would take all the rest of the day, so .County Purchasing Agent Nelson came '-to his assistance, and finally C. W." La- ' mar volunteered for work, so that the applications were disposed of as rap idly as references could be consulted. Each eligible person signed an agree ment to return at digging time as many potatoes as he received in seed, and .With these little slips of paper as their - authority they went -to the trucks and were supplied. It had been said that , no one could secure more than a sack, ' so many were the applicants, but the amount was soon reduced to 50 pounds. Tha first one to receive potatoes i.undjsr the novel distribution plan was tMrs. J. A. Austin of 155 East Seventy ninth street. Eighty-four hundred i-pounds of potatoes were distributed.
