TO THE POTATO RAisERS

This year in the vicinity of Black
foot there are more potatoes than ever
before. On taking a spin through
the surrounding country at the present
time one may see field after field of
potatoes.
The potatoes are now commencing
to come slowly, but owing to the mud
dy condition Of the roads and the
large amount Of rain that we have had
this fall, the potato market at the
present time is comparatively at
standstill, with the market price rang
Ing around SO cents. The potato buy
ers here have all storage room
null to the brim, owing to the
shortage Of cars At the present tine
cars are a very scarce article and
especially, the refrigerators, the cause
Of the shortage Of cars being the enor-
NOUS amount of freight which Is. at
this particular time of the year being
hauled over the roads.
At Pocatello last week there were
about $50 cars in, the yards. Extras
are being run out Of that city on ev-
cry road. Potatoes and fruits a..
given the right of way. thus giving
the potato man a fair and square deal
with his crop.
1t is estimated that this years po-
tato crop will require close on to
5000 cars alone. At the present time
there has only been about 200 cars of
potatoes shipped from this. section of
the country lying north of Pocatello
This large harvest Of potatoes along
with the large harvest of grain and
fruit indicates to the people Of the
country prosperous year financially.
The weather having cleared up now
sufficiently for the farmer to begin
work in the field once more, it is ex-
pected that the potato market in the
near future will begin to brisk up a
little and then our large and greatest
yield will soon be disposed of and the
fall become busy and prosperous one
long to be remembered in years to
come.
Speaking Of the potato market in
general here in the city and along up
the line it would be well to speak on
the subject Of regulating the prices
and why the potato market is kept
down SO long. In the first place, at
about the time the harvest is ready
to reap, the buyer places his price me
dunn and then as his bins gradually
I'LL up, the price is naturally lowered.
Then he gradually begins to ship his
potatoes and lowers his bins down
to the point where he can keep buy
ing them, but at the same time hold
ing the price down In this certain
locality the potato price was at one
time up as high as go cents and now
1t IS down to As cents, and more
than likely will stay at this mark un-
til our vast harvest has been practi-
cally shipped out and then the market
price on potatoes will steadily advance,
Thus, the farmer with a large cellar
on his farm is the man who will reap
the big price for his potatoes and not
him who sells them from the field in
the early part of the race We have
in this section of the country potatoes
OF the best variety and which are
shown and wanted throughout the
country, and If the potato raiser would
stop to meditate on the subject few
hours, there is no reason why his
potatoes should not bring him the
highest price Of the season.
