Farmers and rauchers of this vicinity,
did you take the JOURNALS advice last
spring, and plant lots of potatoes. If 81
you are lucky. In all the states east of
| the Rockies the potato crop has been a
comparative failure, and prices are almost
as high as Last winter with prospects of
going higher IF what the dealers say be
true, we may expect a famine before the
win ter is over. In Washington the yield
| is larger than heret fore. but the East is
making heavy demands. In Tacoma the
price is reported to be $2S per ton and
rising California has no spuds to sell
| us as heretofore, and we must rely on the
home product. which should be sufficient
| to last through the winter. Hops, too,
| are a bonanza this fall.
