FARMERS HOLD-UP'
POTATOES TO Get.
HIGHER PRICES
First Crop is Good But Late
Crop Indicates Big
Shortage.

Scarcity Of potatoes may be the
1 cause of the farmers holding back
their crops for higher prices is the
admission made by G.. s. Jennings,
of Greens Farms, a member of the
Bridgeport Vegetable and Fruit Pro-
ducers' association. Mr.. Jennings
said that the high cost of labor and
also the high cost of raising potatoes
were contributory causes.
Speaking at a recent meeting, ex-
Senator Joseph Alsop of Avon,
member of the State Council of De-
tense, said that the farmers were
holding back their crop Of potatoes
for higher prices and that this was
causing a shortage Of potatoes at the
present time.
Yesterdays report Of the public
market shows that there were 81
bushels of potatoes put on sale. Mr.
Jennings thinks that the farmers in
the vicinity Of Bridgeport have dis
posed of the greater part Of their
crops although he himself admits
that he is holding at the present time
about one thousand bushels of pota-
toes.
Mr.. Jennings added that the first
| crop of potatoes this year had
brought about 300 bushels to the acre
while the late crop would not go over
100 bushels to the acre. This was
one Of his reasons for feeling the
farmer was justified in holding back.
Another reason for the justification
was that everything else was high and
that there was no reason why the
farmer should not profit as we'll as
everyone else.
| In the opinion Of Mr.. Jennings the
L = -
| raising prices might have been elm
mated had the government guaran-
Lteed the farmer q, minimum price OF
$1.50 a bushel for potatoes, thus Civ.
ing him some assurance that he
could realize on his Investment.

STATE CHAMBER
OF COMMERCE in
ANNUAL SESSION

Hartford, Oct. IA plea for earn
est cooperation to win the war and
praise for the work of the state coun-
ell of defense are contained in the
report of Edtward p. Jones of Winsted,
president of the Connecticut Chamber
of Commerce, at the annual meeting
Of that organization yesterday. Re-
ferring to the war situation he said
that military autocracy Is battling
with the principles OF democracy, that
the world is turning critical corner
and that the help of every man and
every organization is needed.
President Jones said it had been
expected that there would be work of
great Importance in connection with
the war for the chamber to take up,
but that the Connecticut council of
defense composed Of a main commit
tee and its aux51iaries, numbering
about $50 men, have been SO efficient
that there has been no call for such
service.
Commenting on the report of the
chambers committee on taxation,
headed by the treasurer r. Lamotte
Russell, President Jones said that it
shows conclusively that the present
taxes are neither equal nor just, and
that the ability to pay does not con-
stitute the basis for taxation He
continued.
II would especially recommend a
state board Of assessors or bureau
of appraisers acting under the tax
commissioner, who could be called
upon by the assessors Of any town or
by the person, firm or corporation
whose property, is valued for taxa
ton
! Recommendation was also made
that the chamber adopt a, bylaw
which would allow the organization tc
receive individual members at from
$40 to 500 a year.
During the year the Bridgeport
chamber of commerce affiliated with
the state organization and the New
i Haven chamber, whose connection
had been through its business mems
4 department, came into full member
