POTATO NOTES

Fl Fairfield Review, Feb. 23-Pota-
toes have gone down gradually from
the 1915 and $3.50 of a week ago to
$3.50 the past two or three days
Very few are coming indeed. A part
Of this slackness in receipts has been
due to the storm and the cold weather
and a part to the smallness Of the
price as compared with that Of a few
weeks ago. The pessimist is already
abroad predicting that we shall not
see $500 potatoes again this year, ex-
cept for a day or two, but most Of the
big farmers who are holding fair
sized lots are laughing at him.
Fort Fairfield Feb. A.-Potatoes have
been on the decrease in price the past
week, having gone from $2.75 and $2.S(
to $3.50 a barrel. They are still coming
in TO market very slowly, as the
weather has been rather cold fol
hauling and the roads bad. and nearly
all OF our farmers who still have pota.
toes left are hoping for higher prices
to sell at.
