The Princeton union. [volume] (Princeton, Minn.) 1876-1976, 1914-10-22

When MIR. MaCDeWS le1G Cno Guy
some weeks ago potatoes were selling
for 30 cents a peck. Here we are re-
ceiving 30 cents per bushel for pota-
toes of better size and quality. We
sellers of potatoes would like to
share the difference with the buyers
in the cities, and let the middle man
make his living by picking up pota-
toes in the potato fields. That
would give him living during that
season at least, while the handling
of potatoes between the sellers here
and buyers ways off, seems to spell
fortune. What's wrong?
