EALYPeTATO CROP
IN MARYLAND FAILURE

HAGERSTowN, Nd, July T5.-The
early potato crop in this section Of
Maryland is practically a failure.
Reports received here from differ
ent sections are to the effect that
farmers and gardeners are digging
their early potatoes and replantfns
with late varieties, hoping to get a
late crop. Many stalks have been
found without a potato on them.
The failure is attributed to blight,
which made its appearance in the po-
tato fields about-a month ago and has
played havoc with the crop despite
ali effort to check its spread.
As a result Of the shortage in the
early crop the price mas advanced
again and potatoes are now selling
at from 65 to 20 cents q peck on the
local market.
