Potatoes Sell for

lance Where Table Vari-
cites Are Being Buried in
Pits for Keeping.

Farmers In the western part Of Ne
braska are not receiving more thar
20 cents a bushel for their potatoes
according to a report made TO the
agricultural committee Of the Omaha
Chamber OF Commerce yesterday
Judge II. G. Barlow OF Gordon. Neb.
stated that for time the net price
which excludes sacking, freight and
commissions, was Is cents bushel
He praised the efforts OF the potato
committee TO encourage buying Ne.
braska potatoes by the sack, instead
Of the peck.
X. W. Beal. potato dealer OF ALI
mittee meeting. said that storage IA
cilIties In his district were filled with
seed potatoes and that the table va
rieties were being buried in pits for
keeping. The shortage OF cars. he
declared, had not been entirely bad
factor, since 1t had prevented the
market from being absolutely glutted
with shipments.
Through -Four Dealers.
The committee found that In NOV.
ing from farm to table the potato
crop goes through four sets Of deal
ers: first the shipping agent. then
the broker, then the wholesaler and
finally the grocer. Some sentiment
was developed for shortening the
route, but those most familiar with
market conditions were OF the opinion
that this could. not be done success
fully. All the dealers cooperating
in the sale OF the crop are said to be
holding their handling costs to
minimum.
Members OF the agricultural com
mittee who operate farms claimed
that the farmer Is receiving too small
4 share of the proceeds OF the crop.

grown potatoes is growing rapidly in

sdy to be paid big passenger nners.
Mr.. Davis contended that the
Leviathan, the second largest ship in
