lions Of bushels and cheaper potatoes
to the consumer.
Getting right down to the facts" the
writer asked. why have potatoes sold
at retail for dollar peck?"
For three reasons" Mr.. Brand an
swered. THE crop of 1916. as every
one knows, was small. The acreage
was less and the yield less than in 1915.
Compared with the previous year. the
supply in 1916 was 74.2S4.0O0 bushels
short The shortage, measured by ths
crop of 1912. was 135.210,o00 bushels.
That is the first reason.
Next. there was shortage OF re-
frigerating and heated cars. Potatoes
quickly freeze and dealers will not send
them out when there is any danger In
transit. Refrigerating cars are heated
and then loaded. Heated cars have
small stoves in them.
Then. the congestion of all freights

more. a man with potatoes will not load
them a car IL there is no way of
knowing when they will arrive at their
destination or how cold the weather

But" the interviewer said, ut has
been asserted that spectators permit

rot SO that. the supply being reduced.
prices would mount higher and higher"
"All of which is bosh." Mr.. Brand re-
piled. Such a proceeding would vio-
late one of the first laws of human ma
ture. Potatoes spoiled on the track, yes,
but for the reasons I have mentioned.
They were frozen on the way to market
and dumped on the ground or shoyeled
into some river.
Until the business men of America
reform their methods" Mr. Brand went
on to say. there will be trouble with
the transportation of our food supply.
