PROFIT ON POTATOES

Minnesota potato growers stand In
a fair way to reap reasonable pro-
fit on their products this year, ac-
cording to N. J. Holmberg, state
commissioner of agriculture, who
has rea ,hed this conclusion after a
careful analysis of the August gov
eminent production forecast: The
likelihood Of fair margin Of profit
rests largely on the fact that the
potato crops in Wisconsin, Mich
gan and North Dakota, Minnesota's
closest competitors on the potato
market, are short about 100000
bushels from the 1922 production.
according to Mr.. Holmberg: The
August l crop report issued by the
United States department of agrf-
culture forecasts a production for the
United States of 379.000,0 900 bushels
compared with the final 1922 crop OF
451, 000, 900 and the five-year aver
age of 388, 900, 900 bushels.
The ten principal potato producing
state of the country, the government
report shows, are 42,535,00 bushels
short Of the 1922 crop.

Congressman Sidney Anderson,

GOVERNMENT SET TO
WHEAT STORAGE

Government machinery Is all
set to give the farmers credit on
grain storage" says Gray Silver,
Washington representative or the
American Farm Bureau Federation.
Mr.. Silver has received a letter from
c. W. Pugsley, assistant secretary
Of agriculture, in which he outlines
plan for wheat storage which is
practically Identical with that pro-
posed by the Farm Bureau, under
the intermediate Credits act and the
revised federal warehouses act The
only question still unsettled ia the
matter of what kind of farm gran
aries may be used in the plan. This
must wait for q definite ruling by
Secretary Wallace on the manner in
which the new warehousing act is to
be administered. with the depart
ment's position, as stated by Mr..
Pugslep," says Mr.. Silver, "the next
move is up to the farmers. The
Farm Loan board, which admins
tiers the intermediate Credit Banks,
has notified those institutions to
accept warehouse receipts on wheat
the warehouse business and which
in warehouses approved by the de-
partment of agriculture. Mr.. Pugs-
ley says: An Individual, associa-
ton or partnership desiring to enter
the warehouse business and which
can meet the requirements may be
licensed. A number of farmers in
any community might form a stor-
ing corporation. Farm storage ia
cilities could be sold or leased to
such an organization and the cor
poration then could operate the
various units as public storehouses.
When any such corporation has met
the requirements of the act and its
regulations, and when it Is deter
mined that the various units are
suitable for the purposes of the act,
a license would be leased to the
corporation to operate the various
units"

WOOL MARKETS ARE SHOWING

ali parts Of the country, says Mr..
Jones. Shortly after the clip season,
Eastern mills obtained heavy stocks
through sLeculators and growers
who did not eject to join the pools.
with these stocks on hand, the mar
ket naturally weakened. AS the
mills used up their stocks and the
pools remained intact the demand
strengthened and better prices are
the result. The Wabasha pool, last
week, made its first shipment OF
Mohair-goat hair-to Eastern mills,
having accepted a bid OF 46 cents a
pound, delivered. This, Mr.. Jones
says, is an unusually good price.
The popularity Of the wool pool In
Minnesota is indicated by the fact
that the Wabasha agency now has
nearly 900 patrons twice the num-
Der last year. The Minnesota as.
sociation is making an arrangement
for an elaborate display at the Min
nesota State Fair. A special EFFORT
will be made to explain to growers
the necessity for marketing only
high grade feeces and the toll that
the market takes of wool that Is not
properly prepared for shipment.
