POTATO PRICES DUE TO
SCARCITY, SAY DEALERS

SEYMOUR, Ind, April 19-The price
of potatoes is unusually high because
of a shortage and not because of
speculation or market manipulation,
according to local retailers in answer
to the movement started here among
housewives to refrain from buying
potatoes until the price is reduced.
The potato boycott is growing here
and many housewives have pledged
themselves not to buy them until the
price drops. Spuds are retailing
around SIS a bushel. Farmers who
have raised potatoes for commercial
purposes in former years declare that
they will plant only enough for their
own use because Of the exhorbitant
prices charged for seed stock.
