1919 TUBER CROP
ABOUT MARKETED

Only 34.5 per cent, of 1900 carloads,
of the 1919 Wisconsin commercial po-
tato crop remained in the hands of
growers on Dec. ] according to JOS
eph A. Becker, of the Wisconsin Crop
Repairing Service. On Dec. L 1913
SIG per cent of the 1918, commercial
crop, or 1870 cars, was still in the
hands Of growers. The total COM
mercial crop this year is given at TO-
900 cars, as compared with 25,510
cars last year
The unusually rapid marketing this
year is due to three main causes: At
tractive prices paid to growers; dam
ger of soft rot due to frosting, and
fear Of dry rot by prevalence of late
blight. The loss after harvesting due
to freezing, rot, and other causes is
estimated at 58 per cent of the crop.
Slightly over one per cent of the plant
ed acreage OF potatoes was not har-
vested.
The average yield OF the state was
higher both this year and last than
the average OF the entire or agTicul-
tural crop of the state.
Reports from all state producing a
commercial surplus of late potatoes In
dictate that only SO per cert, of 81 500
cars, was in the hands of growers on
Dec. !. Pro luction in 1919 is estimat )
ed at 1924 cars, compsred with
1928 shipped last year. Of the I'm
tied States crop, So per cent was lost
after harvest due to freezing, rot and
other causes.
