as one taht can be depended upou.
One of the big reasons why potato
growers from other sections of the
coutnrty have been more successful
in the past is that the high quality
OF their potatoes has resulted in a
demand for their product greater
than the supply. There is no reason
why Idaho growers should not enjoy
similar success, if they will grade
pack, and ship their potatoes so as
TO place them on the markets in first
class condition.

Last Seasons Prices


Last season, 7,945 carloads OF
late potatoes were shipped from al
sections of Idaho to 4S5 towns and
cities in 2S states. The Idaho Falls
farket opened in the autumn OF
1920 at $1.S5 to $1.40 100
pounds for Idaho Rurals, but tow
ard the end of September declined
TO 81. Russets brought SIPS.
These prices held during October
During November, the demand I'M
proved, and on the 18th Idaho Ru.
rails sold for $1.25 and Russets for
$I35. Prices then fell under hea
y supplies and the month closed at
80 cents for Rurals and $1,10 for
Russets. The decline continued un-
til January 25-27, when the lowest
price of the season, so cents a 100
pounds for Idaho Rurals and IS
cents for Russets, was reached. Dur
ing the latter part of January tn ,
California demand for Russets be-
came big factor and continued to
dominate the market throughout the
remainder of the season.
Idaho Rurals had to be sold in
the East in competition with heavy
shipfents from Wisconsin, Minneso-
IA, and Michigan as well as Colora-
do, and the small quantities of Rt,-
rails shipped to Californa points sold
usually at 25 cents discount from
the price of Russets. On the Other
hand, the only competition that
Ruasets1 encountered in California
markets was from the Stockton dis
trict and from Oregon and Wash
ington. The Stockton district had
shipped nearly all it's best stock ~
the first of February, while the
bulk of shipments frof Oregon and
went to British Coluni-
bia, where there was almost crop
failure. This made a very active
2usset market toward the end of
the season, Russets closing April lJ
at $1.25 to $1.35, with carlots cash
TO growers $1.40 to $1.45. Idaho
Rurals closed at 80 cents for wagon
leads and 81 for carload lots. AS a
general rule, growers who sold their
Rurals early last season and held
heir Russets until toward spring
'ealized the highest returns.

Department To Reopen Station
To Help Market Idaho Potatoes

To aid in the marketing of the
late Idaho white potato crop, tho

mates, U. S. Department of Agricul
ture, will open a field Office at Ida

cation to Homer A. Harris, Idaho

of the station
Preliminary Estimates Indicate
Advancing Market
The preliminary estimate of the
Bureau of Markets and Crop Esti-
mates on potato production for 1921
based on conditions August IT,
indicates total production for the
United States of 6,000,000 bush
els, as compared with a final esti-
mate for 1920 of 5000, 900 bush
els and an average for the five
years, 1915-19, of 371, 100000 BUSH
els. The preliminary estimate is
decidedly below the 10-year average
of 37O.O00,O00 bushels.
When crop is below the 10-year
average it always means higher pri-
ces or an advancing market at the
end of the storage period; while a
crop that is above the 10-year aver
age usually means low prices AT
harvest time, with usually declin-
ing market toward the end of the
storage season. Preliminary re-
ports from Idaho indicate a substan-
tial increase in acreage over 1920.

Uniform Grades Advisable

1t is only by the Standardization
Of Idaho potatoes to conform to un-
firm grades that any improvement
in marketing conditions can be ex-
pected Potatoes are shipped in
carload lots from practically every
state in the Union. Some of these
states grade to United States grades
No. l and No. 2; and if Idaho
stock is to compete successfully in
the markets it must show the same
standards of quality and condition
In years of short supplies and ac-
tive demand it is often possible to
sell stock that is not strictly up to
grade, but in seasons like the one
ilst past. when supplies are heavy
and the demand rather light and
critical, ungraded stock or stock
slightly off-grade, sells only at u
substantial discount in price.
Advantage to Use Clean Bags
should be more widely used. 1t is
said that one reason why California
potatoes sell at better prices than
Idaho stock is because they are gen
ei ally packed in new cleean bags.
The Department suggests that
where it is customary to fill the
bags so full that the tops will not
sew shut a cardboard with the
words IDAHO POTATOES printed
in it be placed in the top of the bag
to protect the potatoes from injury
from the twine. This adds to the
attractiveness of the package also.
The old system of loading sacks in
the cars is rapidly giving way to inn
proved loading methods. The early
crop and the first of the late crop
TIRE now generally loaded with the
sacks on end and with ventilating
space through the car. The more
shippers load in the win
ter what is called 1-2 built-up
