POTATO INDICATIONS.
The Acreage Less than Last Year in New
England States-ThOusands of Acres
in Central States Have ROtted
in the Ground.

The Acreage Less than Last Year in New
England States-Thousands of Acres
i'll Central States Have ROtted
in the Ground.
Bulletin No. IS issued by the depart
ment of agriculture, under date of May
18th, has this to say about potatoes:
The large crop of potatoes gathered
last year resulted in quite generally
low prices, discouraging growers. AS
a result the acreage will be somewhat
smaller this year in New England,
where the breadth will go to corn,
both field and sweet; in the States of
the central West, where spring crops
generallysswill occupy the area given
up, and in the mountain regions (Col-
orado and Wyoming), where grass and
alfalfa will increase at the expense of
potatoes.
The potato crop in the Mississippi
valley has suffered immensely from the
floods, as witness the following dis
patch from ST.. Louis, under date of
May 21st:
Great alarm is felt over the potato
outlook. The big American bottom,
comprising nearly all of Madison and
St. Clair counties, ILL.,, is one of the
greatest potato fields in the Mississippi
valley. It is now completely mum
dated, and not a potato will it produce.
Its farmers devoted their time princi-
pally to raising potatoes and cabbages,
and had there been no flood the potato
crop would have commenced moving
July LIST, fifteen days later than usual on
account of the late season. Now there
are no potatoes to move. Every hill
of them is under from six inches to ten
feet of water, and every potato will be
rotted.
Predictions are not always verified,
but the indications are that potatoes
will be worth something the coming
fall. The farmer who has suitable soil
risks nothing in planting a few acres of
potatoes.
