Heavy yield Of Potatoes.

Greeley, Colo.-The biggest yield OF
potatoes so far this year is claimed to
be that of Charles Smith of Kersey.
From thirty acres he gathered nearly
5000 bushels or over 400 bushels an
acre. He will receive for his crop be-
tween $4,000 and $4,000. Six potatoes
picked haphazard from his field
weighed 1919 pounds.
Dealers say there is big demand
for Greeley potatoes farther east than
ever before and that the Oklahoma de-
mand is rivaling that of Texas. Gin
cinnati and Chicago men have con-
tracted for as much of the crop as can
be spared. and one firm has promised
ten carloads a week to Chicago dur
ing October. R. b. Rough shipped six
teen carloads to Oklahoma Thursday.
