E. II. Grubb of Mt. Sopris ranch
at Carbondale rushed in yesterday
morning long enough to remind us that
his prediction made some time ago in
the Post to the effect that potatoes
would soon bring better prices is now
coming true. Mr.. Grubb was able at
that time to give very logical reason
for the faith that was within him and
those who needed his advice and Seld
their crop are now well rewarded for
the wait as Mr.. Grubb informed us
yesterday that the best product was
quoted at dollar a hundred in Car
bondale. Guess that's some better
than 40 cents, Mr.. Farmer.
