reports from Cleveland, Ohio, point
to an excellent crop in the state
Frosts have caused damage to potatoes
in New England, Michigan and
Wisconsin and the crop is affected by
rot in portions of the middle
Atlantic states and lower lake
region. The average condition of
potatoes on Oct. 1. was S9.5, as COM
pared with 9l.6 one month ago, 74.6 on
Oct. /, 1903, 1875 at the corresponding
date in 1902, and ten year average Of
1876. There is much complaint of
rot, according to the government
report for the week ending Oct. 10,
particularly in the New England
states, Wisconsin and Minnesota.
The coast potatoes are very fine. but
dealers are at a loss to know what
they will do with their stock. Many
California potatoes are shipped to
Texas points, but Michigan is taking
care of that portion of the Union,
so that California will not have very
much show. The European countries
have large crop, consequently there
will be no chance to send any Ameri-
can potatoes abroad.

JUST ABOUT POTATOES

Maine potatoes are largely going
into storage, the growers not desiring
to sell at present prices. Reports
from all of the main potato producing
sections indicate in the aggregate a
fair crop. The value of the pOtatoe
crop of this country in 1908 was
sl51, $780, 900. This is double the
value of the gold mined in the same
year. Information indicates that
the potato crop of the entire country
is quite a good deal in excess Of last
season. and prices will be much lower.
The potatoe crop in Michigan IL quite
large, considerably above the average,
