But on the whole present indication,
are that the acreage of the Red River
Valley will be larger this year than
was predicted early in the season. A
feeling still exists that the farmer who
sticks to potatoes is a sure win ner,
and many growers will use their sur
plus stock to plant. believing that last
years bumper crop can not be re
peated, and that the acreage will be
cut in other sections.
Maine: Since the rush of psotat @
planting has been in progress, a nor
NAL acreage of potatoes is in prospect
There is an organized movement to
use greater care in the selection of the
seed and this has affected tine practice
of the rank and file of growers. Seed
is being generally treated for disease.
Wisconsin, Reports point to slight
decrease in acreage, estimates ranging
from S to 10 per cent. This is Inc of
the states holding large surplus re-
serves.
Missouri: Some crops were frozen
down late which will cause later ma
turity. About 10 per cent decrease in
acreage.
New Jersey: The 1922 lesson of a
bumper crop and poor prices has. prop
erly caused more caution in planting.
A general reduction of from 10 to 2s
per cent in acreage of carly potatoes
is reported; seed is being u',ed less
than last year. County ag snts are
urging better Standardization Wea-
Their conditions are favorable In the
central Jersey potato belt the reduc-
ton is estimated at rs per cent; in
Burlington county 80 per cent; and in
south Jersey section no ma terial re-
duction.
Kentucky: Cool weather has held
back development somewhat and in
some sections planting was delayed.
Crops are from ten days to three
weeks backward and shipments will
not be heavy until the middle of July.
Production expected to be normal.
North Carolina: On account of wet.
unfavorable growing weather and fros.
the yield is rather light. The crop is
moving but maturity is late. Acreage
Is to 20 per cent less than last year.
Washington: Some sections will
have about the same acreage as last
year, others viii show big reductions.
Texas: With a reduced acreage, and
comparatively light yields, and late
the situation in the Eagle
Lake-Wharton district is out of the

Stabilizing the Dollar.
1t seems rather theoretical. but
many of the biggest business men and

Secretary Hoover believes possible
since business men. particularly with
the help of the many associations and
trade organizations, and the vast mass
of dependable information obtainable
through government channels. ought
to know just how much should be
manufactured of every product, and
Just how much should he grown of

Control of Credit and Currency
There is assurance that the "stabil-
izing of the dollar" will be discussed
in the coming congress. and possibly
some good may come out of the de-
bates. 1t is rather recent history,
however, that the Federal Reserve
board was assaulted because it tried to
control credits" A claim was set
up that the farmers were pinched in
order that manufacturing and financial
interests might be favored. Denials,
and counter charges filled the air.
Doubtless men engaged in any par
ticular industry might be able to
guide production in their own best in
tercsts and in the interests of those
affected by their course, providing they |
