Potato Crop viii Be Short in

If Estimates Of the Commission
Men Are Correct.
LESS THAN 80 PER GENT
The Price During the Winter
So Low the Cause.
Gardeners VIII Try and Raise
More Profitable Crop.

Wichita, Kas., April 16.-Judging from
estimates made by commission and seed
men from the most reliable sources TO
be found around Wichita the potato
croD this year win be only 40 per cent.
Of the usual crop.
The larger proportion of the acreage
has already been planted and orders
have been very light compared with for
mer years. This is accounted for large
~ by the fact that last years potato
crop was a large one and as a result the
price during the winter was low. AS is
usually the case. the gardeners have de
cided to raise a more profitable crop
this year. 1t appears that almost every
gardener has concluded to raise sweet
potatoes this year, and the increase in
the acreage of this vegetable almost
corresponds to the decrease in the acre
age of the Irish potato.
A large increase is also looked for in
sweet corn and tomatoes Wichita has
a first class canning factory which has
never been operated, although it has

reason for this has been that a suff1-

other prescriptions and remedies that
promise so much and accomplish so
little. Mrs. r. Q. Starkey, Jackson,
