Barborof Portland -who-fes been interested in the farming game tor the past 20 years is firm in his belief that the farmer will make a good bet in rais ing plenty of potatoes this year. Mr. Barber figures that only 80 per eent of a erop will be put in this summer and that right on top of this, potato flour is coining into general use.. All of which he figur.es should make a great demand for tiie home market. . Now when it comes to the time of planting potatoes, Mr. Barber says he has tried out very successfully the plan of not planting until say the. last week of June. However, before the planting, the ground lias been plowed four times and put into condition to hold moisture. Although the potatoes are not planted until July 1, tho moisture In tha ground during the two dry months will keep theni growing and when th.o fall rains come, the potato will do its growing and be ready for the digging in Novem ber. It will be a potato firmer and more marketable than those planted ear ly in the season. Mr. Barber also Sug gests that if farmers would plant cab bage and cauliflower along in the first week of July, the results will be most satisfactory. Ho has been advocating this late planting for a number of years and his ideas are respectfully submitted. C. E. Martas, W. Woodburn, serial No. 800, order No. 238. B. N.

Possibility of I government operation of the packing industry for the war is officially squelched in a special report before Pre sident Wilson today. liie report submitted by representa tives of tho food, labor, agriculture de partments and the federal trade com mission is understood to recommend merely tightening up of the regulations already in effect toward the packing in dustry. The commission was asked by the president to investigate to see whether there was ned for a "new policy" perhaps government control in con nection with the food administration's efforts to bring about satisfactory co operation between the government, cat tle raisers and the packers. The federal trado commission lias been carrying on an exhaustive probo of the packing industry and is now pre paring its report for congress. This re port, it is understood, displays the pacK ers in the light of a far reaching mon opoly in control of many commodities ana its tenor, if disclosures of Chief In vestigator Francis J. Heney -are any eiilerion. will be radically different from that submitted by the president's ', investigating committee. VVRITESMRS.WILSON ABOUT RFCOVERY OF BODY OF HER SOD Body.
