FORETELLING THE
PRICE OF POTATOES.

An expert statistician and potato
marketing specialist Of the College
of Agriculture of Minnesota claims
to have worked out a formula by
which the price of potatoes can be
closely predicted. He claims the
price of potatoes can be predicted
more closely than other crops be-
cause the law Of supply and demand
is large factor, that the crop is
not subject to speculation that affects
price, and the crop must be disposed
of before q new crop is put on the
market.
The factors that fix the price are
first, the supply. This can be found
out from the reports Of the Agricul-
tural Department which gives the
number of acres in crops of all kinds
and the average yield throughout the
country. Second, the demand, or an
nual consumption, and this is accu-
rately known from Agricultural re-
ports, and also the annual increase
Of demand owing to increase Of pop
ulation. This is accurately known
IL lOIA uSul 90 OOtCllA6 ~ CcI AA0Ay
years. The third factor is the price
level Of commodities furnished by
the Bureau of Labor. This is found
by taking say 100 commodities like
wheat, corn, wool steel, sugar, meat,
potatoes, ETC., adding the prices up
and dividing by 100. This gives the
average price level and one years
price level compared with the level
Of other years shows whether prices
are going up or down, and the price
level of potatoes follows the level Of
other commodities unless the other
known factor, supply, affects the
price.
| OF course this formula is of no val
ue in determining the price of pota-
toes until after the crop is planted
and an estimate can be made OF the
number of bushels to be harvested
! This estimate is usually very close
especially the latest estimate when
the crop begins to be harvested. But
it is valuable in indicating whether
it is better to sell the potatoes as
soon as harvested, or wait for three
four or five months, and every pota-
to marketing organization should
have and can get the several factors
that make up the formula. The ex-
pert claims he has worked out the
formula by comparison of the fac
tors and prices for the past 25 years
and they agree. AS q matter of cur
iosity we will work out the formula
and predict the prices for potatoes
for the first four months of 1923 and
see how far our prediction agrees
with the actual price. The price will
be for Chicago, which to the Idaho
grower means minus the freight

FOR THE PURPOSE OF FORNING
A BULL ASSOCIATION IN
THIS DISTRICT,
WILL COST FROM S6 TO O. PER
cow, WITH 10 cows IN
EACH BLOCK.

Three dairy meetings held in BinR-
ham County this week for the ex-
press purpose of forming a Bull AS
sociation in this district Woodville.
North and South Shelley, West Firth.
East Firth, Firth and Goshen will be-
gin work at once in their communi-
ties. according to representatives
from those districts
AT the Blackfoot meeting held
Tuesday afternoon. Groveland, Engle-
wood, Rose, Riverside Riverton, Wa
pello, Thomas and Aiken were re-
presented, and in every case the pro-
posed plan was met with enthusiasm
and men were designated to take up
the work.
In general the plan is to form an
association comprised of blocks Of 40
cows each. Each block will have one
representative on a board Of direc-
tors who will purchase bulls for the
entire association at rate of $6 to
81 per COW. Each block will take
care Of the maintenance Of its bull
and the director will be responsible
to the association for its care. Bulls
purchased will come from dams that
have produced at least 500 pounds of
butterfat per year.
Crossing these animals with our
grade cows may increase the butter
fat production from so to 100 per
cent depending on the production OF
the COW. Every two years these bulls
will be rotated in numerical order to
another block. giving the producer
twice as many years service as there
are blocks. This is proven plan
and Is in operation in several South
eastern Idaho counties.

WHY IDAHO
DOES NOT
AVERAGE
FOUR HUNDRED BUSHELS OF 20.
TATOES TO THE ACRE ON
HER IRRIGATED FARMS.
BY F. w. CATER, BURLEY, IDAHO,
PRESIDENT OF IDAHO STATE
SEED SHOW.

Idaho should and can avergae four
hundred bushels of potatoes per acre
on her irrigated farms. She has in
dividual records Of twice these fig
ures. Her soil and climate are capa-
BILE of producing the highest yields
and best quality Of potatoes of any
other state in the Union. Commercial
fertilizers are actually valueless on
most of her lands. That she has not
reached this high average is by nc
reason Of the fact that large majori-
ty of her farmers have not observed
the following essentials of high class
farming, to wit; Proper crop rota-
tions, good seed: correct planting
and good cultural methods.
If each grower would analyze his
costs he probably would not figure
himself very much profit over a per-
iod OF years from yle,ds falling much
below three hundred fifty bushels per
acre and it is my belief that time will
eliminate the grower falling well un-
der these figures.
The potato industry in Idaho has
been hard hit this year by reason OF
low prices. High yields and high
quality which usually 60 together
are the best means Of reducing losses
during lean years and Of course will
make greater profits during years OF
high prices.
All phases of the potato industry
will be discussed by our best specia-
lists and growers at the twelfth
Annual Idaho State Seed show to be
held in Burley, Idaho, January to
IL, 1928.
We can accomplish little as indi-
viduals. Progress can be made only
thru unified action. So come to the
Seed Show and let as do something
which will help reduce our acreage
and increase our yields and the quail.
ity of Idaho potatoes.

THE PROFITS OF RETAILERS.

Commenting on the editorial we
had few weeks ago on the expenses
and profits of retail and wholesale
grocers, a dry goods merchant of
Blackfoot said he could not keep his
expenses below about II per cent and
he doubted il the majority of dry
goods merchants kept 1t as low as
that. Nor can he maks as quick a
turnover as can the grocer" said
fhe. 1T also takes more expert
knowledge of merchandising. Styles
change, and unless we buy carefully
1--we are likely to bef~left with goods
that have to be sold at sacrifice.
Our trade is more affected by the
weather, and the merchant may be
left with a lot of winter goods on
his hands on account of a warm. short
winter. There are hundreds of con-
tingencies we have to provide for and
if we guess wrong We show loss in
stead Of a profit. I don't know II as
many dry goods merchants fail as
grocers, but there are certainly no
profiteers among them"
Suggesting to the proprietor of one
Of our meat markets that the farmer
thought he was making pretty good
money when he bought a beef for
from four and half cents to five
and half cents and sold 1t over the
counter at from ten cents to 25 cents
"a pound, he snorted and said, "They
do, Ell? Let them follow up a beef
critter and see. In the first place
we get only AZ per cent of saleable
meat out of the beef. All the rest
is waste except the hide, although
the packers save every ounce Of that
waste and nearly all their expense
and profit comes from it, I then
have to cut the meat up into different
cuts and prices, and figure right on
both quantity and price or I go in the
hole In summer especially there is
a loss and It is rare that do not sell
some of 1t for less than 1t cost.
see you figure that 1t Is more grOcers
that go broke. but commercial sta
tistics show that butchers head the
list. Say, II the farmers think we are
making so much money why don't
they start a butcher shop Of their
own? My own opinion Is that II they
did they would go broke in about
three weeks"
