GOOD PRICE FOB POTATOES.
Farmers Rushing Their Crops TO Mar.
kaE

kes.
The potato crop is now being harvested
as rapidly as possible, ss the truck farmers
are anxious 10 get their potatoes TO market
while the present high prices prevail. The
farmers have besn unusually fortunate this
year ia the prices they have received for
/ brought as high as 50 50 per bar
rel. and those little later
from 81 to 81 so per barrel. The heavy
shipments from Savannah and Charleston
to New York aud Boston are bringing the
prices down rapidly Ia those markets, and
recent quotations place the figures at s. 90
A commission agent said yesterday that
the price would be down TO "a barrel next
week. Even at this figure the
farmers will make money. In fact, the
bulk of the crop seldom brings over that
price. Several thousand barrels have al
ready been shipped from Savannah, but the
bulk Of the crop ia still in the ground.
The present potato supply Of the north
ern markets comes almost entirely from Sa~
vannah and Charleston, the Florida crop
having already been marketed. Early
next month Norfolk will begin shipping,
and points further north will gradually
come into the market.
"As long as the price Is from Is to 81
harrel,n said commission man to MORN.
ING NEWS reporter yesterday, "the New
York and Boston markets will take only a
limited quantity, but after the prizes gets to
"a and below they will take all they can
get"
B. A. Greenslet. representing J. S. Cham
berline & Co., fruit and produce commission
merchants OF Boston, has been in Savannah
several weeks looking after potato ship
ments, and Is pretty well posted on that
crop here. He claims that the crop around
Savannah 10 not as large as last years., and
that the yield per acre will be considerably
less.
The good prices will make up for this,
however, and the farmers will get
fully as much for their crops,
Mr.. Greenslat said chat while
some Of the farmers have very fine crops,
the majority will not make more than one
half to two-thirds of crop. The long spell
Of dry weather from the latter part OF
April to the middle of May shortened the
crop considerably, and it also suffered
severely from rust and blight. fhe quality
OF the yield, though, is good.
The recent rains will have the effect of
increasing the yield of late potatoes.
The dry weather also cut the bean crop
short, and not much over half a crop wall
be made. The present shipments are bring
ing high prices
Shipments of tomatoes eni cucumbers
will begin next month. The season for
truck shipments from Savannah ends about
the middle of June, by which time the crops
have been exhausted here and the markets
further north begin to send in their sup
plies.
The melon growers of Southwest Georgia
will begin shipments about June 10.

SIS for the destruction Of his buggy and
800 for medical attention.
1t is about one of the only cases tried in
