WIS. PRODUCE co.
GOING OUT OF BUSINESS

+, III. Morse, president of the Wis
consin Produce Co. informed a News
Budget reporter Thursday that tn?
steady drop in the potato market du"-
ing the past six weeks has been respon.
Sible for huge losses on some hundred
or more cars Of potatoes bought 1T
their different buying stations. He
further stated that the government and
state reports have been too optimistic
which lead buyers to invest in potatoes
way above their value when shipped
onto the markets.
Prior to September 80, this concern
had inquiries for around 400 cars Of
northern white potatoes After Min
nesOta and the DakOtas began to UNI
load Early Ohios throughout the corn
belt it was practically impossible to
market Wisconsin potatoes at any
where near their value
The chief creditors Of the WiScor-
sin Produce Company, the banks made
a strenuous effort to hold the company
over until another season, but some
holders OF protested checks could not
see it that way.
Government and state reports ol
conditions of markets are claimed by
potato dealers of the state as being
very misleading.
