REMINGTON • — 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. CHRISTIAN CHURCH Sunday school at 10:80 a. m.
