Maine Potato
Crop Less Than
That of Last Year

w akeHeld, Mass, oct. 19-In a
special report on the potato crop is
sued today Y. y. Sanders, Federal
crop statistician for New England
discussed the relation OF the total
crop for the year to prices next
spring. He said that the present
outlook was for United States per
capita production this year IA per
cent. above the average. with 433,
100000 bushels against the five year
average of $50. 100000
During the past 81 years he
said. "the per capita production Of
potatoes in the United States has
averaged SIS bushels and this with
our present population means a pro-
duction of 390,000000 bushels A
study of the same period shows per
capita production of 80 bushels or
less usually brings higher prices in
the spring than prevail in the fall.
"a per capita crop of 3.S bushels
G14,O00,0G0 bushels totaD or more
usually causes prices to work down
ward so that by spring they arc con-
siderably lower than when the crop
began moving. This years produc-
ton is four bushels per capita and
since the crop began moving prices
have declined and low prices
throughout the season would seem
probable from the experience of past
Years. However, the amount of I'M

operation with local organizations

are now served to 1S1,434 children in

children are buying milk for lunch,
while S241 rural schools obtain milk
and serve it to 115,111 children.
Through this and other agencies the
serving of hot lunches in rura,
schools is becoming widely extended
and the influence of this work has
followed the children into their
homes, reports received by the
United States Department Of Agri-
culture showing that children in
more than 5000 rural families are
given better food and care as a result
of the information supplied to inter
ested mothers by extension workers.
