The largest potato crop ever pro duced in this country is the promise ly crop report just Is- 3hief of the Bureau of Orop Estimates of the United States Department of Agri culture, stated this morning that the average production for the previous five years (l-9ill-'19il'5) was 3)63,<MM),000 shels, which represents a fair crop. This year the indications are that there will be a crop of 467,'000,000 im shels, which is 100,000,000 above the average. This is equal to one bushel extra for every man, woman and cMld in the coimtry. In order to avoid waste,- officials of the Department of Agriculture sug- 3 st two ways of taking care of this Tge increase: U rst, all housewives are urged to use potatoes as far as jiossihle as, a substitute for bread stuffs. Second, to preserve the potatoes for vm ter use by home storage. These measures, it is stated, will not only uee the potatoes to advan tage, but will save -wheat.

BOYS DON’T LIKE “SAMMY’ Not until after the recent arrival in camp of certain Amerloan* news papers did the soldiers of the Ameri can expeditionary forces become aware that efforts were being marie to fix upon them the name ol *^ara- my,” That name never Is heard on this side. Within the past few days corre- •spondents have been approached by great numbers of the (rificers and men asking that something be sent home telling the people there how .the standard-bearers of the American army really resm t what they consid er an inept, undignified and irritat ing name. It can also bo stated that the re sentment does rest alone with the officers and men of the arpiy, but that it extends to all American residents in Paris and in other parts of France, miany having written In to say that they consider “E able j (France seriously and earnestly fight for the liberties of the peoples of the world. An officer of distinguished ran t is qiTOted as saying: \Please hit' the ‘®ammy” propa ganda as hard as you can. The men and officers would be proud to have an appropriate nickname, but there is not one among u© who things ‘Sammy’ Is in ^ny way suitable, and it certainly is not desired. “The name does not in any wav suit a fighting man. We recognize, of course, that it is an effort to play upon the name of Uncle Sam, but who would think of calling Uncle Sam. Uncle Sammy. It is ridiculou.?. ‘'No nickname can .he forced upon the fighting man. To stick it must be spontaneous and unanimously i-ecognized as just the thing: Such ■a name may yet come to us.
