North DakOta's 1921 Bumper
Potato Crop To Be More Than

Both Yield And Quality OF

Acreage Superior To That
OF Last Year, State, o. j.
Barnes; Feared Car Short
age Not Likely To Ma,
terialize. /.

North Dakota's 1921 bumper crop
of potatoes will be doubled this year.
This statement was made today by
local business men engaged in mar
keting the o .
! The first carload of potatoes was
shipped from Grand Forks on August
IA, one day earlier than last year, by
the O. ]. Barnes company. 1t went
to Illinois. Five more carloads are
being shipped by the company today,
stated o. j. Barnes, president.
Illinois Crop Poor.
A. ]. Surratt. formerly agricultural
statistician for the U. S.. bureau of
markets in Grand Forks and now oc-
cupying a similar position in Illinois,
in his regular weekly statement is
sued Monday, declares the Illinois po-
tato crop reports to be very unfavor-
able this year.
Both the yield and quality of
white potatoes" states the report,
ARE poor as a rule. Sweets are in
better condition, but have also suf-
fered from drouth."
Ready Market. .
The report indicates that Illinois
will furnish q market for potato crops
in the northwestern states, according
to ]. H. Griffin Great Northern rail-
way division freight agent.
THE total potato crop for North
Dakota Is expected to practically dou-
BILE that of last year" continued Mr..
Griffin. There is more than, twice
the acreage planted to potatoes this
year han last. 1t is: probable that
1000 cars carrying approximately
100000 bushels, will be shipped from
Grand Forks this season.
No Car Shortage.
provided the farmers market their
product in a normal manner 1 do not
think the feared car shortage will
materialize. However. should orders
for shipments come in all at once,
there is a possibility that we will be
unable to get cars enough to fill the
demand. l am making very effort
to insure provision of cars. The fact
that potatoes r not shipped in
wheat carr eliminates n curtailment
Of the grain movement"
Urges Crop Be Graded.
Mr.. Griffin urges that the farmers
in this section of the country take
pains to grade their potatoes careful
ly and sack them in clean sacks.
Such procedure win aid very ma

Eubstantiates Statements.
Mr.. Grinin's statements relative to
this years crop were substantiated by
Mr.. Barnes.
1.-THE potatoes are of a better size
and better quality this year than last
said the latter. They will be readily
marketable.
Record Crop.
1.-THE acreage has been more thar
doubled this season. In one township
of Grand Forks county which pro.
