NO DANGER or SHORT SUPPLY.
Potato Crop Of the Country Said To he I'm /.
Had way.


Washington. Nov. 3-The potato crop
is in a bad way The officers OF the
agricultural department do not consld-
er this a calamity. The over-a abundant
crop OF last year made potatoes scarce
ly worth digging. The average price
fell TO 2s cents a bushel II had never
been so low since the war. More than
$4,000. 900 bushels were produced in the
United States, not counting thousands
of bushels left in the ground. The In
dications are that the total yield this
year will not exceed 100000 900 bushels.
Even this could be the largest crop
ever raised In this country. excepting
the phenomenal crop OF last year, when
everybody planted potatoes.
The general condition OF the crop Is
now 81 per cent. on the basis OF 100
representing an average crop. In Oc-
tober year ago the condition was 81
per cent The acreage OF the potato
crop this year Is 2.s65. 900. which Is only
10h per cent. short Of the acreage OF
last year. But even this reduced acre
age is too great to insure good prices.
More or less complaint of rotting comes
from nearly every section of the coun-
try. but particularly from the New
England and eastern states.
Notwithstanding these unfavorable
features when the prospective volume
u the crop is considered there seems
TO be little danger Of short supply.
There Is only one thing now in the Wis
ion of the government experts to en-
courage the producers. That IL a pros
pective shortage in the European crop.
In Germany. where many millions of
bushels are produced. not more than
half a crop Is expected. In other po-
tato-raising countries abroad condi-
tons have been bad and the crop Is
short This gives hope OF an increased
demand for export. Herein lie the prof
its OF potato raisers
