How the Long Island Potato Exchange
Gets Rid of Its Tubers.
Although the Long Island potato ex
change is not a grange organization,
it is doing some tLdngs that the grange
might profit by. It has a paid up
capital of only about SO,OOO, half of
which is available for use. The asso
ciation did a business of over $50,000
last year. Commenting on the work
of this exchange, the New York Fruit
man s Guide has this to say:
In the face of adverse conditions the
exchange handled practically a half
million bushels of potatoes for the
year. LI.VJ barrels of onions and 3,71"i
bushels of carrots, or a total of (!34
carloads of produce. "We expect to
handle three times as many potatoes
this year," said the manager. All deal
ers together in this county sent to
market a little less than 3.000,000 bush
els <>f potatoes lust year from about
17,000 acres.
The association sold over 1,500 tons
of fertilizer, besides 22,704 bushels of
seed potatoes and a quantity of other
farmers' goods, making a profit of ovel
si!.Oo<) on such things combined.
The exchange- started out with every
body against it. It had no standing
It lacked the confidence of all people
everywhere, both farmers and sellers.

Good Roads In France.
In France the highways are the
chief competitors of the railroads. The
f:'Trenching and splendidly maintained
road system has-distinctly favored the
small landed proprietors, and in their
prosperity and their ensuing distribu
tion of wealth lies the key to the se
cret of the wonderful financial vital
ity and prosperity of the French na
tion The road system of France has
been of far greater value to the coun
try as the means of raising the value
of lands and of putting the small pens

FAVORS PARCELS POST.
State Master Godfrey of New York
Sees Good In the Proposition.
[Special Correspondence.]
The great argument in favor of par
eels post is that it would be of as groin
beueOt to the people as the postal
service. It would break up one of tin
great tnouopolles of the country and
save the people millions of dollars an
uually, besides being it great source <>i
revenue to the government. It would
be of fully as great benefit to tie
farmers as rural delivery of mails and
I believe, a source of profit to (lie gov
eminent as well. 1 believe it would be
a great bom-tit to the retail tnerchai.
In that those living iu the country
could order small packages of goods l>.\
telephone, having them sent out by
rural delivery, thereby increasing the
number of small orders and these or
ders going to the home dealers Instead
of to the distant mail order houses.
Tile lessened expense of transportation
would enable the retailer to sell goods
at a lower price, thereby having an ad
vantage not now obtained.
