Wallace Blamed For
Political UpheaUal
Washington County Representative
Charges Secretary Agriculture
With Defeat Kellogg
Associated Press Dispatch. |

ST. Paul, November 1.-THE po-
litical upheaval in Minnesota a
week ago is due to large extent to
the alleged discriminatory attitude
toward Minnesota cooperative live
stock shippers by Henry Wallace,
secretary of agriculture, R. A. Will
kinson, representative of Washing
ton county, said today.
Mr.. Wilkinson charged that Mr..
Wallace showed discrimination in
favoring the exchange when he put
into effect federal rulings which
governed the weighing, selling COM
mission and the general manipula-
ton of the South st. Paul livestock
market.
The more than 400 of the COOP
erative livestock shipper associa-
lions, according to Representative
Wilkinson, worked almost as a unit
to defeat the Washington admins
tration, and this resulted in the
election of Henrik Shipstead over
Senator Frank B. Kellogg.
Representative Wilkinson charac-
terized Mr.. Wallace's action and
stand in the South st. Paul matters
as "bullheaded" attitude. He fur
Their stated that unless this attitude
is changed Minnesota can look for
a repetition of the upheaval in the
elections of 1924,

POTATO PRICES DOWN
Spuds Forecasts Issued by Econol
mics Division State University

mics Division State University
Associated Press Dispatch.I
st. Paul November 14.-Potato
fore casts issued today by the agri-
culture economics division of the
University of Minnesota indicate
that the average price of quality
table potatoes has declined some
what, and for the month of Novem-
Der, sets $1.O0 per hundred pounds
as the normal average. The early
part of the month, patotoes sold at a
lower figure than the forecasted ay-
erage. .s . ....t.
Present indications" the forecast
reads, indicate that the price of
average quality table potatoes (. o.
b. Minneapolis and ST Paul, will ever
age $1.40 a hundred pounds ga
cents a bushel) for the nine months,
September to May. On this basis, 81
would be a normal price for average
quality table potatoes during No
vember."
The nine months average of s1.4O
announced today is six cents lower
than the forecast issued month
ago. Reasons for the decline are
given as partly due to the change
in the official estimate of yield per
es as evidenced by Bureau of Labor
statistics.
Low price of potatoes resulted
from the fact that dealers who
stored potatoes during the last two
years lost heavily and are cautious
about buying for storage this year,
and that the talk of the large crop
of potatoes this year have given a
mistaken idea of the actual size of
the crop.
