Seed Potatoes High

OSSU FOldlOGS lllxn
The price of seed potatoes to
farmers and truck gardeners
around Sioux City will be high
this spring, according to deal
ers In this respect Sioux City
will be no worse off than the
rest of the country, however.
Reports from all sources are to
the effect that the seed tubers
are exceedingly scarce, and
therefore they will sell at a top
notch figure. Early Ohio pota-
toes, one of the earliest of the
species, will cost So a bushel
for seed purposes, local dealers
say. The price now is slightly
below that figure, but the sup
ply is short, and an increase is
certain. Other varieties will
he correspondingly high
