THE sHRINKAcE OF POTATOES.

Every time that the question of
whether potatoes can be more profitably
marketed in the fall or in the spring is
brought up some one starts the inquiry
as to just how much the shrinkage really
is on 100 bushels of potatoes, whether
they are sold right out of the field or put
into the cellar and marketed in mid
winter. A large grower residing at
Limestone told us that he had given the
matter some attention and was satisfied
that the shrinkage was much more than
any of the growers had any idea. For
instance, he says that last fall he put
480 bushels of potatoes into his cellar and
this spring took them out and sold them,
and when they had weighed out 265 BUSH
els his potatoes had vanished. He says
while that may be an extreme case, it
isn't a solitary instance, for some of his
neighbors have told him that their shrink
age was even more than that, so he
thinks when grower can get right
around 81. 10 barrel for two bushels and
three pecks of potatoes, hauled from the
field, he had much better take it than
take the chances of getting more money
in the winter or spring, and we should
judge from what we heard others remark
on the subject that this gentleman knew
what he was talking about. Turf, Farm
and Home.
