The development in the potato situa-
ton during the past three weeks has
certainly kept buyers and sellers
guessing. With tubers retailing at
S1.4O Aug. 10 and the prospect good
that they would climb still higher, the
late crop is turning out far better than
it was expected it could, with the re.
suit that prices have suffered Il decided
slump, though this is doubtless EN-
couraged by the buyers. who are al
ways bears until the crop is well out
of the hands of the growers. The
grower who is fixed for it might store
part of his crop rather than let it go
at once for less than 40 cents. in
which case not all Of his eggs would
be in one basket. He may get more
than so cents by Christmas, and then
again he may not.

In 1909 the people of the United
States imported $7j,000,O00 of Cuban
sugar. but if the development in the
beet sugar industry Of the country
keeps up Mt the present rate another
decade will see Il good share Of this
produced at home. While the high
price and scarcity Of labor tend to
discourage the growing Of any crop
which savors Of intensive. soil tillage.
it should be said in behalf of beet
growing that beets do not pull heavily
on the land. that there IS a good reve-
nue. in raising them and that they
leave the soil in the best possible filth
for other crops used in rotation. Con-
ditions to be found in the states of
the west where water is on tap from
ditch when wanted and where sun
shine is the rule through all the grow
ing season are ideal for their culture,
for the soil is maEyelously rich and
the weed pest reduced to minimum.
