TO THE RESIDENTS OF THE STATE OF INDIANA: The people of Indiana are proud of a great Hoosier institution, the Indiana State Fair, which this | year will be held from August ’ 31 to September 6. The State Fair has come to represent nearly every phase of the life of the Hoosier citizen. The Indiana State Board of Agriculture, under the direction of M. Clifford Townsend, Commissioner of Agriculture, informs me that the program for this year has been augmented as compared with any previous Fair, and promises that this year's event will be one of the best and most pretentious ever held. The prizes and premiums for this year have been increased $19,728.31 over last year. This factor alone should draw a greater variety of exhibits than in 1934 when entries from ! twenty states and Canada were received. The features of the 1935 Fair are too numerous to mention, but I do hope that every man, woman and child will find it possible to attend the Fair for at least one day. Cordially yours,

HAWAII WANTS POTATO QUOTA By Richard C. Wl'son, (VP Staff Correspondent) Honolulu. — (U.R) Irish ' potatoes be declared a basic comI modlty under the AAA, the growling of tubers in Hawaii will become 'an established Industry, federal agricultural experts predict. Potatoes grow best In the Islands 'during the winter montlis, making ;:t possible to market Hawaiian I grown tubers on eastern markets from January to April when premium prices can be had. About 4,000.000 pounds are expected to be marketed from Hawaii during the early months of 1936. Experiments in potato growing In the islands have been under way nearly 12 years. H. E. Podmore, pioneer in developing the crop as 'an azljunct to Hawaii major agricultural crops sugar cane and pineapples, described potatoes as the most temperamen'a.l farm crop ever grown in Hawaii. Expansion of Crop Slow Due to the fact potato growers on continental United States have sold their crops at a loss for the past four years, expansion of the (crop in Hawaii has been slow, i About 1.000,DPI) pounds were tnar- ! kefed on the mainland this spring. LocaJ commercial houses have received ten'ative orders from Chicago and New York commission , houses, it was learned, to dispose j of more than 5,000,000 pounds next ■ ! spring. Hawaii po’atoes are able ; to reach the mainland markets ; weeks ahead of the first continen-; tai tubers, which grow in south-i ;ern Florida. I Should potatoes be added to the ■ | AAA’s list of basic commodities, Iti I was believed Hawaii would be a'-i lotted a quota of 10,000,000 pounds.; I This would encourage the large (sugar plantations or other agricul-; tural companies owning large areaiyl of idle land to plant potatoes. Viewed as Military Asset Military authorities welcome the j development of Hawaii's potato industry. The War Department has long worried over the prob’em of feeding Hawaii in event of a war; ion the Pacific. Most of the islands'! i agricultural areas have been de-' i voted to sugaj- and pineapples with ! attention paid to diversified agri-1 i culture.. The military long has wanted; Hawaii to grow more foodstuffs I for the islands' 370.000 inhabitants I during possible blockades. Development of the potato industry 'is regarded a favorable step toward diversification. I Army authorities have indicated i they will have their subsistence (contracts for next year include the ipu.chase of Hawaiian grown potatoes during the months of Febru-

ary, .Mafch and April In order to give the Industry a boost. O" -- —— BOOK NOTES ' By Ruth Winnes KAPOOT by Curvetli Wells A recent visit to Riissin. unvnrnlshed, In the raw, by that lynx eyed and witty world traveler, I ('arveth Welle, Is the subject of tills hook. When Mr. Wells and i his wife left their comfortable cruise steamer ut Leningrad, their ' buggage did not contain one snitch | of prejudice. They were eager to ' be shown the advantages of life under the Five Year Plan. Two] among two hundred Intourist tourists, they rode in eleek Lincolns.! lolled in a Ixiuis XIV suite at the smart Metropole in Moscow and feasted on the fat of the land So ; this was Russia! But the hotel I elevator wae KAPOOT — Russian i for "on the blink" —and the bath-, loom was KAPOOT. and the very roubles wore KAPOOT. Mr. Wells , became suspicious and they determined to cut loose from the • noon-fed tourists and see for themeelves the Russia of the; Soviets. And they did —at the cost of some forty-two pound* 1 avoirdupois between them. Tie trip that they took extended into the Caucasus Mountains, wherthey visited the descendants of the Cru-iaders, all the way south to Mt. Ararat, then back to FinI land. It’s a strange story and a grim I lone in spots; but rich in adventures and entertaining always, ( characterized by that dry humor I ( and sense for curious facts which ( have placed Carveih Welks in a ■ class by himself. o Court Rules On Insurance Ottawa. Ont—(U.R)—Life insur-; (ance policies sold by American | companies to Canadians must bei ; paid In Canadian funds when due. the Supreme Court of Canada has 1 i ruled.
