The potato crop is the most Im- yorfant vegetable crop in the Unit -l States, according 10 d statement mad, last night by l.. X.

 Movement Not Heavy
 Various reports indicate that fhe movement of potatoes thus far has not been heavy, stated the speaker, and that the buyers are holding off. The crop. 1t was predicted, will be 4 little below normal this year. with the resulting prices slightly better than average. The crop will amount 70 about 3.3 bushels per capita, or slightly less than that required, it rsvlng been estimated that the per capita consumption is in excess of 7 5 bushels.
 More than one quarter of the to- tai production Of white potatoes in the United States is in the New Eng land states, New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania, Mir. Perregaux 4sserted. The North Central states third, the rest being distributed in the south and west. Although Maine usually leads in production, this year he estimate of Minnesota is SS mil lion bushels, or one million more than Maine, the next largest state, New York. is third with 2S million bushels, Wisconsin fourth and Michigan fifth with 25 and 23 mill lion bushels respectively.
 The wide variation in the climate m this country makes it possible for new potatoes to be on the mar ket almost the year round, 1t was said.
 About March l Florida starts shipping, and by May l the Caro- linas begin, after which new potatoes are marketed from one or another of the many states in widely sep  arated sections of the country A little later New Jersey becomes a factor, while about August 1, Long Island comes in and dominates the market until September.
 During the fall and winter season, from late September until early March, and in many sections until July l. the main part of the crop vas said to come from the Northern states, from Aroostook County Maine, through the North Central states to the Pacific Coast. In 1926 it was asserted that 230, 900 cars of potatoes were shipped in the United States.
 Imports Increasing
 imports rom tdlldud nave betn increasing recently, radio listeners were told. Last year and the year before. Canada shipped in more than million bushels.
 In discussing the question of the high marketing cost, the method of handling the potato crop was de scribed. From the growers the pota toes pass either to country buyers and shinners or tn coz one ratiYe aSSo-

FOUR BARGES MISSING.
Many Other Vessels Escape Grip Of
Storm Of Virginia.

NORFOLK, Va, March P).--
Only four barges of the numerous
craft that have besieged Coast Guard
headquarters with calls for help. and
kept them working overtime night
and day since the storm that. swept
the coast on Wednesday, remained
unaccounted for today. many report
ing that they were in distress yes

The Armistead. which broke from
the tug Bath Gate off Hog Island in
the storm, Is still adrift somewhere
off Fenwick Island Lightship. while
three barges. the Chatham. the Or
leans and the Falmouth, which were
abandoned by the tug Eureka about
10 miles north of F'enwick Island
light vessel Wednesday morning, have
not vet been located by the Coast
C,ard cutter Mascoutin, which is
searching for them.
The Armlstead is known 10 have a

night. With the end of the session
only a matter of hours, members of
the Senate District committee acted
with alacrity TO save the District from
the uncertainties that might have de-
veloped between now and next De-
cember in utility regulation had the
nominations failed of confirmation.
As had been forecast yesterday, the
President late last night notified the
Senate he had withdrawn the name
of Mr.. Adams. In the same message
he nominated Col. Brand, who is a
practicine attorney here. =
When the message arrived the Sen
alto was still in the throes of the fill
bustel. that has blocked all business
since Wednesday. Shortly before
midnight however, the leaders de-
cided to call an armistice in the par
liamentary battle until $50 O'Clock
this morning. and this cleared the
way for an executive session to con
slider appointments.
In the meantime, the special sub
committee of the Senate District COM
mittee. headed by Senator Jones. Re
publican, of Washington, made it's
report on the three nominations. The
full committee was polled for it's APP
proyal and the Senate itself then was
able to act.
1t became. known early yesterday
that members of the Senate committee
had indicated to the President that
AIR. Childress and Mr.. Fleharty prob.
ably would be approved If some one
we're substituted for Mr.. Adams. Ac-
cordingly. members of the committee
had been expecting the message
which came from the President last
night and were prepared to act
promptly.
The subcommittee handling the
nominations had met number of
times in executive session during the
past week. at one of which sessions
II interviewed Childree, Adams and
Fleharty. Members of the subcom-
mittee have not discussed what &C.
Cured during the meetings held on
the nominations, but information
filtering out at the Capitol has been
to the effect that the inquiry concern
ed merely the general qualifications
of the appointees.
Although number of leaders in
the citizens association movement ap.
reared before the subcommittee. so
far as could be learned they made no
specific complaints against Messrs.
Childress. Adams and Fleharty, but
urged careful study OF their Qualifica-
tons for public utility service.

The schooner. which had been driven
