PRINCESS ANNE. Va. Oct.

PRINCESS ANNE. Va. Oct. IS.
Farmers on the, Eastern Shore Of

by specializing in potato production.
And. like all specialists they are
fond of their speciality and have un.
limited faith in its opportunities.
They are. in consequence, con.
firmed potato growers Twenty
years Of satisfactory returns from
white and sweet potatoes have led
them to cultivate those crops almost
to the exclusion Of everything else
except enough corn for their own
use and moderate acreage in straw.

The extent to which farmers in
Accomac and Northumberlan coun.
ties have placed their reliance in
potatoes Is disclosed in the reports
Of the Eastern Shore Produce Ex-
change. which show that Of $780,.
900 packages Of farm products
shipped last year, 2,400,0 900, or sig.
sevenths, were either white or sweet
potatoes.
White potato prices dropped very
sharply last year and this seasons
experience was not much better.
Sweet potato prices are lower now
than they have been for years. II
is no longer a question with the
farmers as to whether they will be
able to make a profit, but whether
their returns from this years crops
will meet expenses
Even under these circumstances
there is little sign of any wavering
In the farmers faith in potatoes.

About one-half OF this sum Is spent

to say that no more Improvement is
needed. We do feel, however, that
business Is making excellent head
way, and that the coming months

It Is pointed out that while the
estimated yield Of some crops Is
somewhat less than hoped for. 1922,
is still expected to be a good year
in agricultural production. Bum
Der" crops are few, but in most In

In the field Of retail trade II ID

form reliable conclusiones, because
no figures are available for sales by
country dealers. The leading mail
order houses did about the same
amount OF business this September
as last: -Roebuck shows a
small decline, and Montgomery Ward
an increase. The ten-cent store
systems bettered their sales sub
stantially. Federal Reserve data
covering August business by 469
department stores indicate an i'm.
provement of 80 per cent over
