Reports from the potato regior
OF Wisconsin are gratifying to tn,
people who feared, on account of the
generally discouraging reports con
corning potatoes this year, that the
high prices established during the in
terval between the consumption of the

crop would be continued Throughout
the winter. 1t is stated that the YIELD
in Waupaca county is estimated al
100000 bushels. and in the state as
whole at 2o,0o0,000. In the Wis
consin potato region proper, growing
conditions have been good all sum
mer and the crop has matured sc
early as to be beyond danger by Sep
TENDER frosts.
