LANE COUNTY SPUDS.
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.

And thereby hangs a tale.

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.

There is no force so potent as that

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

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. There is
irrmlghty poor outlook for the progress
of a community when there is no com
mon unity of purposo.

This is a very painful and dangerous

medicine could be obtained or a phy

to have a bottle of Chamborlaln's

Or "tho moralo of Germany" or

"moralo" to "koep up."
And that tho only "morale;' I need
