reason of the large increase in

Growers Looking for Good Crop of
Potatoes-Locsls and Personals.
Townsend, June 15:-Potato grow
ers of tins section have been encour-
aged by the recent favorable condi-
tions which have helped along the
crop Of tubers and minimized the
damage done by frOsts and ice during
the middle of May.
The rain and warm weather of the
past three weeks have brought along
splendid stand of tubers of the early
varieties, so that buyers who have
been looking over the crop in this re-
gion predict that it will not be more
than Is per cent below normal. Even
that percentage will mean large
loss in the aggregate unless there is
a corresponding rise in prices to offset
the reduced production. A vast sum
of money was realized from the crop
by farmers in the lower part of the
county last season, and prices were
low at that. Experienced growers
say that while the plants may look
good now, after having recovered
from their nipping by the frost, il
will not be possible to determine the
exact damage done by the cold spell
until the crop is taken out of the
ground. They say that where the
first stand of growth was cut by the
frost there are likely TO be jots OF
small and immature potatoes in the
hills.
