small or SO nearly balanced as to
be Of no Importance. The shipment
Of potatoes between countries was
reduced greatly in 1918, the Neither
lands still holding the leading place
as exporter. while France became
an important importer.
The price Of potatoes IL subject to
wide fluctuations between years, and
during the war and in 1890 made the

potato prices have experienced three
short periods OF high levels. first in
1911 and 1912, again in 1917, and
most recently in 1920. The high
point in May, 1917, reached an index

scented price paid the producers OF

GIN cents per bushel in June this
year. compared to an average index,

toes were relatively one OF the

madam farmers have been more in
clined TO sell wheat this year than

lieved by elevator men to be near

But for the three weeks of wet
weather following these estimates
there would have been a heavy
crop OF No. l and 2 Northern, the
highest contract grades. except

commodity. The grades have been
lowered. The hospital elevator
service in the interior and at the

saver. 1t cannot save the grain
which has field sprouted. The
quantity OF this is, however. be-
lieved exaggerated.
In the first seven weeks Of the

country points 50.730.4os bushels,
OF which 42.532.SO0 were carIoaded

have decreased the buying and

Potato production Is reduced in

world as a whole. The world crop,
summarized to October l, was esti-
mated at about 00,o00.000 bushels
in the principal potato producing
countries, as against nearly Co.,
100000 bushels last year, and an
average Of about 500, GOO, 900 for the
period of l9l4-lS. This is also a
smaller crop than during the pre-
war period of 190s-13 when the pro-
duction in these same countries was
estimated to be about 100000
bushels. This survey covers only
six countries. and consequently does
not represent the aggregate world
crop.

crop is forecasted to be about $685.

The acreage planted this year was
