The potato crop throughout the coun-
try will be a short one, contrary to expec-
tations month ago. AT that time the
prospects never were more promising for
an immense yield. In almost every
field the vines were green and rich look
ing with not bug in sight. tits doubt
iul whether a more promising outlook
was ever present, but then the drouth
set in and within week thereafter these
thrifty vines began to show signs of
whitening, and today there is not a patch
in all this section that does not show
evidences of blight. What this blight is
no one seems able to determine, but that
it is complete is certain. The tubers have
not grown a particle since about the
middle of August and many farmers are
digging their crops of half grown tubers.
If this condition obtains over all the
country, potatoes will be potatoes before
spring.
