Yes, it pays to sort potatoes.
It is well nigh imperative that
such be done if a market is to be
fonnd at all. while the govern
ment regulations make life mis
erable for the fellow who hap
pens to load a car with too many
culls therein. Ed. I. Boring
has iust learned this to his sor

net and pays from the interests
of tie town, for we now have
the starch factory to furnish a
profitable market for the culls,
while the better price and less
freight for the marketable pota
toes will more than take care of
the cost of sorting. -
The immediate case which
nromnts these remarks was that
of a car of potatoes bought for
W. S. Hearst & Co. of Portland,
in this locality by Mr. Boring
and turned down by the State
Inspector because they "were be
low grade. They were not infer
ior potatoes. They simply were
lacking in uniformity and could
not be classed in any one grade.
This brings up the question of
gradine. The Public Service
Commission's order for the
grading of potatoes became ef
fective the 15th of last month.
It is comprehensive and defines
three grades of potatoes of mar
ketable quality and the seed
variety.
Every grower and shipper of
potatoes should thoroughly fa
miliarize himself with these
grades and be able to take ad
vantage of the favorable loca
tion and excellent shippmg fa

But In England where 2,400.000

are decreasing rapidly. One of the

i English as follows : For September,
$17.76 per 100 pounds ; October, fl7J ;
Tytvember and December. $16.08 ; Jan
uary, $14.40. The effect of these prices
was to drive beef animals on the mar
ket as soon as possible.
In France the number of cattle as
well as the Quality hare shown an
enormous decline daring the war.
Where France had 14.807.000 head of
cattle in 1913, she now has only 12,
341,900, a decrease of 16.6 per cent.
And France la today producing only
one gallon of milk compared to two
and one-half gallons before the war.
Denmark and Holland have been
forced to sacrifice dairy herds for beef
because of the lack of necessary feed.
Close study of the European meat
situation has convinced the Food Ad
ministration that the future problem
of America Uea largely in the produc
tion of meat producing animals and
dairy products rather than In the pro
duction of cereals for export when
the war will have ceased.

at an arbitrary price and the imported
wheat purchased on the markets at

MAKING MEATLESS
DAYS PERMANENT.
In the meatless menn there is a fer
tile field fur developing new and nour
ishing dishes, according to E. H. Kile,
writing in tbe Hotel Gasette, who be
lieves that tbe present shortage of
meat and fats will not end with the
coming of peace, but may grow mre
acute and continue for five or six
years, tbus making it worth while in
develop menus of grain, vegetables
and fish on a more or less permanent
basis. Meal can be replaced by cereal
and other protein foods, or may be
served in vry small portions as a fla
voring for other food. In making up
meatless menus this author finds our
American Creole and southern cuisine
broad field for investigation.
