satisfy the needs OF her table for the
next month or six weeks. The indi-
cations are that the second crop Of Do
tatoes will show a heavy falling of,
which, within two or three weeks,
promises TO considerably Increase the
present price of the vegetable.
The shortage OF the second crop is
due 10 the dry weather, which came
on at the time the vegetable needed
rain most. Farmers declare that not
only will there be a shortage. but that
the potatoes marketed viii be small
and not up to the average in quality.
One gratifying fact is that the short
age promises to be only temporary.
From the present outlook, the third

every way. High prices should rule
