d. IN REGARD TO
POTATOPRICE
"a. j. Surratt Makes State.
r11ent Regarding Present
sS ss Situation.

Considerable. uncertainty exists in
regard to prospective potato prices in
this part Of the country, according to
statement out by A. J.. Surratt of the
Bureau Of Markets and Crop Esti-
mates. this morning.
While prices should remain firm.
that is, around the present market
quotations, there are some uncertain
ties entering into. the situation that
must be given serious consideration
as price factors, MI. Surratt said.
Most prominent among these is the
buying power of the public.
With a view to being of assistance
to growers, the crops Of the past
years were reviewed today in the To-
cal Office and the nearest comparison
that can be found, Mr.. Surratt said,
In the records is for the 1911 crop.
Under quite similar conditions the
price for the United States ranges
from approximately 80 to 80 cents
during. the fall buying season to $1.2t
in May the following spring. The
general price levels of all productions
at that time were slightly lower than
at the present.
The uncertainty of the present
situation, however, offsets the 1914
record to such an extent that no es-
sLkt5ldl0 Will ally AC6ACS Va Nc oAA
! can be made Is to what extent the
economy of the public during the
coming winter and spring will affect
prices. The 1911 price quotations
and the situation in that year are
compared to the present only as be
ing a guide in a very general way.
