Des Molnes. Feb. 26.--A. r. CoroD0
secretary Of the Iowa board OF agrlculsl
turs. In Greater Iowa, which was ~;
sued today. urges city, town and VIII
lage dwelIers to aid this spring In res.
Loving the shortage OF potatoes By
growing tubers on vacant lots, which.
usually are allowed to grow up IN
weeds.
Every ono with a piece OF sround
In the rear OF his home should plant
a. few potatoes. the secretary says.
Tho farmers of the state are urged
10 plant potatoes regardless OF the
high price Of seed. MIR. Corey says:
1T is going to take both nerve and
money In large amounts to plant fields
this spring. Seed potatoes arc quoted
at So bushel, with every prospect
Of climbing to a higher, notch. One
prominent seed growing and distrib-
uting firm In Iowa has announced that
no effort will be made to handle seed
potatoes this year: that the high pric0
and inferior quality OF most OF the Of
rferlngs combine to produce too much
dissatisfaction among the patrons OK
the firm. Another firm, the largest In
the state. is distributing tho usual
amount regardless Of higs valueS and
flllng orders from Ohio to the Rockies.
The question that very naturally
arises Is whether the usual acreage
will be devoted to potatoes this year.
1t takes from eight to ten bushels TO
properly plant an acre OF ground. AT
So a bushel. which is the lowest figure
for good seed. q potato field absorbs
money pretty fast. No man can safely
predict prices for next fall. Only
stiff price can pay the profit on the
investment OF high priced labor.
Plant Usual Acreage.
iowa will plant her customary
acreage. At least such are the in6iea-
tons, The high price Of seed will not
deter the regular potato grower.
Potato dealers confidently ante.
ipate a break in the present high
prices before many weeks. probably
the last OF March or the LIST of April
The passing OF freezing weather will
release many private stores at present
not availa BILE, With the opening OF tho
planting season the bulk OF the stock
Is likely to- be thrown upon the mar
ket. After planting time the price will
stirfen again, going higher possibly
than at tho present time. Such has
been the history OF the spring potato
market for several years"
