Some of the farmers have been dis
posing of their white potatoes at Csc
a bushel. This is the lowest price
realized for that crop in many years;
but the farmers should not be dis
couraged with potatoes this season
because of that fact; in fact, this is
the year to grow them as many will
not plant because they lost money
on them last year; consequently
there will not be so many planted.
Those who do plant fair acreage
this season will no doubt receive a
good price for them.
