produced l,S44. $4,000 bushels. or 81

II Is remarkable that the immense
Russian empire. with 1921. 429 square
miles. produced only about three
gourths the quantity OF potatoes that
Germany produced on her EOS. $50
with 3.026. 1s9 square miles, produced
not quite one-fourth the German crop.
although the area under potatoes in
the United States was nearly half the
potato area OF Germany, and the Rus
sian potato area exceeded hat Of Ger.
many by nearly 5000, 900 acres.
The explanation IL to be found IN
the fact hat only rs per cent OF the
Gs0man potato crop Is used for human
consumption. while the rest Is used
IN the arts and for stock food. For
the last.named purpose nearly AZ per
cent Is used. showing that Germany.
