The Potato Market.

Spuds seem to rule the California
markets at present. The demand for
these tubers is so great that San
Francisco and Sacramento commits
sion merchants are having trouble
to fill their orders. The Middle West
and the Southern States are calling
for more spuds, but Texas seems to
be the star customer, and no kick is
being made about stiff prices. Salinas
Burbank potatoes are now bringing
$I.7s per hundred, and River (Sacra-
mento) Burbanks are $3.50 per hun
dred. Nevada is being called on for
large Quantities of spuds and we are
told that the commission men are
selling California potatoes Tor the
Nevada article. The fame of the Ne
vada spud has gone far abroad, and
they are preferred to any potato on
the Pacific Coast. To ship our pro-
duct to Texas and the Western
States under California label is un-
Just, as everybody knows that the
California article is not to be COM
pared with the Nevada product.
When Mason Valley begins to raise
spuds instead of alfalfa there will be
more money in farming. We are a
little out of the way from market,
but at Sac per ton there is money to
be made shipping potatoes from here
to Sacramento and San Francisco.
At half this price, at Wabuska, there
is more money in spuds than in al
falfa.
