HIGH SEED STOCK
AFFECTS ACREAGE
Fewer Acres of Potatoes Will Be
Planted Than If Prices
Were Low

The marketing of old potatoes has
about drawn to close and more than
nine-tenths of the potato warehouses
are closed and warehOuSemen have
been engaged in checking over the sea-
sons work. Good profits were made
this year by dealers.
Shipments of new potatoes into Wis
cOnsin from southern states has had Il
tendency to halt the prices on old
stock. The new Florida stock is
bringing $26 to $27 a barrell, while it
is reported that in Texas potatoes in
the field are being contracted for at 6
cents to s cents a pound.
1t is predicted by a well-known local
potato dealer that much less than the
acreage estimated to be given over to
potato growing the coming season will
be actually planted with spuds, on ac-
count of the high prices of seed now
prevailing. Especially those who moved
into the county this spring and those
who carried small stocks over from
last fall, will not plant as extensively
as they otherwise would if prices were
low or moderate
