It is p. plyotgot battle field, a strange j

manutty most ureauiul tocsin, the
trumpet call of war.
According to an exchange the nt
tlonal wail concerning the high cist
ot living is likely to be further in
creased owing to the plebian potato
having recently entered the aristoc
racy of high priced fSods with every
prospect of attaining a place in the
fore rank of higher pric
and remaining mere within a year

creases his potato growing acreage
Never since the day when some
one dug the first succulent tube,
from the soil of Peru, and afterwaiv
gave the credit to Ireland, has the
potato been so valuable as during
the past summer. In fact, it cos. Ju.
twice as much to buy a bushel o
potatoes during the month of Hep
tember as It did one year ago.
Bust year, and almost every ottm
year for a long period past, the
wholesaler could purchase a bushel
of potatoes from the farmer for fl'»>
or sixty cents. During September *11
paid from $1.10 to $1.30 per bushel
nod for the first time In the hls*oi-j
of this country found the farmer de
manding one dollar per bushel In the
fit Id.
Since that time the prices have
dropped somewhat but the potato Is
today considerably above the aver
age with an excellent prospect of
^galn reaching a fancy prloe tyefore
| the coming of spring.
A short crop and a small acreage
were mainly responsible for the
fancy price of the autumn but not a
little of the increase was attributa
ble to the rapid advance in the price
of fertilizer, which Is growing stead
ily scarce In spite of an Immense
Increase In production during the last
three or lour years.
However, the great advance in flour
caused a vast lncceaae in the quantity
of potatoes used throughout the na
tion and naturally result In an
advance In price Incident tty a greater
demand.
At present indications point to a
vltady rise as long as the aear?!t>

numerous evidences that the next
