Up to last Saturday night nineteen
care were shipped from Westhope, 8
cars in bulk averaging 875 bushels and
sixteen cars sacked averaging 600 bu.
per car. The potatoes are consigned
TO the Minnesota Potato Growers Ex-
change, Minneapolis, Mimi, which is
handling the North Dakota producMon
this year. Mr.. Eastgate states that
they have not received any returns
from shipments yet, but that ne ex-
poets they will bring about 80 cents
per bushel net to shippers. From Oc-
tober 10th on; refrigerator cars must
be used, and an order is placed for
two of these cars day for the next

cessarily will mean a lower price than
would result if they were able to hold
until spring and take advantage OF
the southern seed market where such
excellent potatoes would be sure to

this lack of storage facilities) which
