Potato Growing In Jersey
Is $14,OOO,OOO Industry
Per Yield Second Only Maine Exceeds L. S. Az
erage By So Bushels--Yet It Does Not Produce
Enough fec It's Own Needs

Potato growing continues to
occupy a very important place in
the agriculture OF New Jersey,
according to figures obtained by
the State Bureau of Markets from
the agricultural experiment station.
In 1926, it is shown. the potato crop
sold for approximately $14000,00
It's nearest competitor was corn
with an estimated value of $4,000
600.
New Jersey is second only to
Maine in the average acre yield OF
potatoes. Her average for the 5
years. 1926. was 1875 bushels to
the acre, which is nearly So bushels
more than the average for the
United States
More than $4,000 acres of land
are used for growing potatoes in
the state. Eighty-five per cent of
this acreage is in the counties of
Monmouth, Salem, Mercer. Middle
sex. Burlington. Cumberland and
Gloucester.
Potato growers went through ex-
tremely hard times from 1919 to
1928 and prosperity was regained
only through the complete reorgani-
cation Of the industry by the
growers themselves, the station re-
ported. They chose better varities
Of potatoes, eliminated all inferior
land. made use of seed which was
certified to be free from diseases
and inferiorities which make for
low production, carefully selected
the fertilizers used, and waged war

of chemical sprays. These revolu-
tionary changes pulled the potato
industry out of the depths and
brought confidence to the growers.
