Potato Production in United

Potato production in the United
States is small, compared with Ger.
tain other countries having a much
smaller area and much less popula-
ton. The product OF Germany in
29l1 was 1868 million bushels; Aus
tria, 426 million; France. 424 million;
and the United States, 293 million
bushels. The production of the United
Kingdom, from which our chief i'm
portations are drawn, is considerably
less than that of the United States,
having been 2S1 million bushels in
1911, of which 1873 million were pro-
duced in Ireland, 100 million in Eng
land, and Sc million in Scotland.
The farm value Of the potato crop
Of the United States in 1918 is stated
