THE POTATO MARKET

adjacent country have been busily
engaged in hauling their early pota-
toes to market. Tuesday was an
especially lively day at the ware
houses and the buyers and their
assistants we're kept on the go. The
prices on Tuesday ranged from 80 to
90 cents, but yesterday there was
decided slump, the market dropping
to Is cents per bushel. It is the old
story of the early bird catching the
worm-the farmers who bring in their
potatoes first, at the opening of the
season, invariably obtain the highest
prices. There are large quantities of
early potatoes which have not yet
been marketed and the Warehouse
men tell US that it is very unlikely
that.the prices for this kind of stock
will again reach the dollar mark
this fall-there is tendency, they say,
toward a further decline. This morn
ing the market price is Is cents.
From last Thursday until this morn
ing the number of cars shipped was
something like 30, some of them going
to Chicago and others to Minneapolis
and Duluth. W. 81. Ferrell & Co.
shipped 10 cars, Manke & Co. 9, T.
F. Scheen s, and other houses smaller
quantities.
The Chicago Packer has this to say
OF the government report on the po-
tato crop:
The July crop report on potatoes,
by the agricultural department at
Washington, and the way it was half
handled by the daily press is most
affective illustration of how an honest
effort on the part of the government
to impart to the people valuable and
accurate information may turn out in
the end to mean great injury and
public detriment. These government
reports are extremely hazardous
guides to follow unless they are taken
in their entirety and dissected piece
by piece or state by state.
The July potato report was half
read by the thick-headed daily paper
reporters, and almost without excep-
tion the consumer, the potato grower
and the potato operator were told that
the shortage in the 1911 crop amounted
to almost famine proportions. AS a
matter of fact the July crop report
indicates, to the contrary, bountiful
crop of spuds for consumption during
the coming fall, winter and next
spring. It is true that there has
been a critical shortage of summer
potatoes for weeks past, but if the
government report is to be depended
upon at all and if weather conditions
are favorable from now on, there
should be an ample supply after the
first or fifteenth OF September and at
reasonable prices.
Collectively, this years potato crop
is short, but the government report
shows that the shortage occurred
mostly in states that have already
marketed their production.
In other words the heavy short
age was located mostly in the
south Atlantic and south central
states, including Kansas, Missouri
and a few others similarly located
none OF these states contribute to
any material extent to the supply of
fall, winter and next springs po-
tatoes.
