Club Women Would
Study Car Driving

erated Women's clubs of Spo
kane have started a project
which is being hailed by the
male populace.
The ladies have started a wom

They just think women should
know more about the mechanics
of a car, first aid and other
phases of motoring.

Surplus Potatoes
Dumped Under U.S.
Support Program
Washington, Apr. 6 (U.R)
About 4,000,000 bushels of sur
plus potatoes have been dumped
to rot so far under the govern
ment's program to support prices
of the 1949 crop, agriculture of
ficials estimated today.
Farm law requires the govern
ment to support prices to grow
ers by buying up any over-production.
The surplus on the 1949 crop
is estimated at 65 million bush
els. So far, the government has
bought up and disposed of an
estimated 45,000,000 bushels at
a cost of about $50 million, of
ficials said.
Restricted To Maine Spuds
Except for a few thousand
bushels in Minnesota and Wyo
ming, officials said the dump
ing so far has been restricted to
potatoes grown in Maine. They
predicted there will be more
dumpings in Maine before the
1949 surplus is cleaned up.
It is certain, however, that
fewer spuds will be dumped than
Secretary of Agriculture Char
les F. Brannan had estimated
last January. Brannan said then
that about 25 million bushels
might have to be dumped. Of
ficials now place the figure at
less than 10 million bushels.
