BEFORE YOU PLANT YOUR POTATOES—
High School Agriculturalist Ralph Oertli says in his last news
letter to the farmers of this section :
I" .. Growing Market Potatoes.
About a year ago an editorial appeared in The Belt
Valley Times depicting in a splendid way the potato sit
uation in the Belt Valley. .
No change has occurred since. Almost every ranch ,
haa its own pet variety of potatoes. It would be difficult
to find a full carload of potatoes, ail of one variety, with
out any mixtures.
For a season like last year when, potatoes were high
in price and scarce, it made little difference. When po
tatoes are good and plentiful, however, it means low
priced potatoes for the Belt farmers. When the local de
mand is satisfied there is no outlet.
There is only one remedy for this situation. Grow
only standard varieties of potatoes that the market de
mands. It will take a number of years for entire com
munity to work together in raising only a few select
varieties, but a start can be made this season. Two or
three farmers living close together could easily agree to
raise only one variety of potatoes, and together raise
enough for a carload shipment.
The remedy lies in cooperation. To attempt to get the whole
valley to adopt a particular type of potato for production in any
year ia hopeless. However, if three or four farmers would
agree among themselves to plant so many acres this year and co
operate in marketing, we are positive that the results obtained
would tend to draw others into the group until the association
would be strong enough to compel respect and attention.
Dry land potatoes always command a better market than Ir
rigated potatoes, provided they are uniform in size and quality.
A carload will sell better than a ton. A very few farmers with a
crop of two acres each will provide a carload or two. If the qual
ity ia right there is always a market, if the season is not pro
pitious there is no loss because cattle and hogs will consume all
that are raised with adequate returns for the trouble and seed.
We are reprinting today an article taken from the Oil Edition
of the Great Falls Leader of Thursday last. This article is from
the pen of Col. C. T. Kennan and contains a fund of valuable infor
mation besides the speculative value of the subject. The Colonel
has made out a good case and every man who has read the article
is convinced that at some future day steel mills in Great Falls will
be an accomplished fact.
Many people for a long time have suspected that the opposi
tion of the Great Northern railroad to the opening up of the East
Side in Belt has been prompted by a desire to hold that coal field
in reserve for future use.
Later developments point to the fact that the Great Northern
is not unmindful of the possibilities of the case and has entered
the ring.
Interesting developments are sure to follow before the sea
aon is over.
Editor Cooney and staff of the Great Falls Leader are to be
congratulated upon the most excellent special edition which they
printed last week in the interest of the oil industry. We believe
that it out-classes anything of the kind heretofore produced. The
Automobile Edition was also a fine sample of the printers' art.
