It now` costs from $45 to $50 for seed to plant an acre of potatoes. It is! obvious that at these prices pot-{ atoes do not give "a sufficient food . value. 'Housekeepers' could Well! eliminate the potato and turn to more economic foods, and, by such elimination, leave that much more seed to be planted for the much-needed crop this year. in? the scarcity of potatoes it would; be well for planters _to turn to the question of beans. The same! money that will plant. an acre of. potatoes, if invested in beans, wi11| provide seed for more `than ten` acres. They are not only an ex- cellent and nutritious form of food but it looks as ifthey will con- tinue_ to be in strong `demand for I army supplies, and companies J with army contracts are offering as high as $5 a bushel for this year s crop.
