Like many another comimodity, potatoes have run the full scl.of prices in titoes past-from bottom- to top. To-dlay, price eurls sould' keep the sell1ing value within resnbelmits, 'be- sieoff erin'g the grower a fair retuilrn for his investmient.

Perhaps this thro'ws some light uplon the scriptural promnise "T'he riee'ksa inherit the earth". No Place Like Home Thne war years have had some striiing efcsupon our hous- ïlng r outlîook.
