The potato crop of Virginia
duriug the last census years was
2,OlG, zoo bushels, and it was pro.
tected by the tariffto the extent OF
fifteen cents a bushel, or in the
aggregate, 1902, 800. Does the
farmer really need this protection:
In reply to this question we state
a single fact obtained at the custom
house at Norfolk, from which our
readers can draw their own in-
ferences. One Jan. /, 1888, Il cargo
of $3.50 bushels of potatoes was
imported into Norfolk in the
schooner Kate Nc Clintoch, upon
which the required duty offfeen
cents a bushel was paid, which, we
are informed, was sold at a satisfac.
tory profit; in other words, the
importer paid this tax or license
for the privilege Of competing with
our own farmers in their home
markets, and was yet well paid for
his venture. Comment is needless.
