YIELD NOT ONLY Low, BUT
QUALITY SAID TO BE
BAD.

Reports received at the office of
Secretary Thomas Cooper of the North
Dakota Better Farming association in
dictate that North Dakota's potato
crop will fall faI below the average
expected. While the reports do not
ed to be extra good this season and
are based upon tn Yields from the
first fields dug, the farming experts
believe that they are indicative and
express disappointment at The crop.
The potato yield is not only low
but the quality is said to be poor. The
tubers come from the ground rough
and spotted. The quality is very much
below the quality of the potatoes gen
orally grown in North Dakota.
reports received from central,
northeast and southern counties all
agree that the crop is far below
standard and that the yield will be
very much lighter than in former
years. The potato yield was expect
ed to prove extra good this season an
the reports come as a surprise to the
farming experts as well as to dealers
and Others who have followed condi-
tons. The excessive rains and wet
weather are assigned as the reason
for the poor quality of tubers.
1t is probable that seed potatoes
will have to be imported into the
state for next seasons crop. Potatoes
in Minnesota returned splendid yield
and Of excellent quality so hat the
failure of the North Dakota crop is
not likely to affect the market price.
Secretary Cooper has returned to
Fargo from trip through the south
ern portion of the state, making a de-
tailed inspection Of the condition in
Ransom and adjoining counties. He
reports that threshing is about one
third completed throughout that
section Of the state. Yields have been
larger so far than in many years and
the grain crops are all turning out to
be high quality.
Flowing has started in the southern
counties and will be rapidly carried
on now. The farmers throughout that
section are planning to put in extra
large crops for ext season and there
is every sign of prosperity
