From the Dover State Sentinel.
There certainly was a wide difference
in the price Of white potatoes paid by
the consumers Of Wilmington and the
price received by the farmers or lower
Delaware, and our townsman, H Ridge
ly Harrington, deserves the thanks Of
Delaware people for his skill and bust
ness push in sending carloads Of po-
tatoes from Kent County and selling
them IN Wilmington direct to consum-
ers at a fair profit II is probable that
the average cost OF these potatoes to
the farmers who grew them was about
one dollar per bushel Adding a reason
able profit, Of say ten per centum. and
then adding freight and the other costs
of handling, the price Of si.35 TO con-
sumers Is certainly a reasonable one.
We hope that Mr. Harrington will be
we'll paid for his activities in this most
commendable enterprise.
