Tho revelations of Prof. MlUwnrd, potato expert sent on a tour of Pacific Coast states by the Beportment of Ag riculture, and who visited Lane county last week, presages events of moro than usual interest. Prof. Millward, after visiting many ,U UUM " U. U .ope, uaQ no nes.umcy in commuung uio touuijr iu uio mgiiesi rang oi them all. And thereby hangs a tale. Another golden opportunity, lies straight before Lano county people growers and the plodding laboring Kan alike. It is simply their chance. ill that Js vital is for them to step aut and grab it While the market is fluctuating for the course of years on table stock, during such time the price for certi fied seed potatoes w'ill be about what growers demand. California points last year wanted 350 carloads of certified seed from E. X. Morrison, of Springfield. He was able to furnish but fifty carloads. As it requires three acres to fill a car, it will take tho outmit of over 1000 acres to meet the normal demand ror Call-! Tornia alone. When we consider that of all the acreage in Oregon already devoted to this industry, 15 of It is in Lane county, we may well pause and reflect a little. No doubt wages from six to 'steen dollars a day In the shir-yards is some- what allurlnu for the time belntr. but to assure rlght-down-to-the-earth ease and comfort when the shadows of Kfo'k evening begin to gather, give us fn the prime of it the paydirt of a seed potato patch in Lane county ADVERTISING.

The citizens of a town are not gen erally inclined to be disloyal to Uielr Some merchants. There is a certain elvlc pride in most citizens that can T5e kept fully alive by the proper atti tude of home merchants that tends to the general prosperity of all. The homo newspaper has Its duty to fulfill, also, along this line, and it Te a mighty poor stick of a newspaper that hesitates to perform Its public obligations. If it Is uuable In a meas ure at least to influence public opln 16n upon tho side for what Is morally or economically to tho common Inter est, it has not earned the right to preach to the home merchant of the potency of advertising or anything else. It would be difficult to say who rep resents the poorest type of citizenship the one who cannot accept the de ' feat1 of a lost cause smilingly and for get It ,or tho one who helped encom- pass the dereat or It and then con- j tfnues to gloat over tho vanquished, j The. ideal typo of citizen is the one who extends the hand of friendship to either opponents or allies with tho Tamo measure of cordiality.
