POTATO GROWERS
MILDLY WARNED
Government Cites Tendency
Toward Expansion.

BU United Press ......
WASHINGTON, April mild
warning against overplanting Of
potatoes was sounded today BY the
Department of Agriculture.
Intended potato acreage this year,
with average yields, would produce
some 100000 600 bushels, or near a
record crop which would be a sharp
increase over the last two years, the
department announced.
March reports showed 100000
bushels more potatoes stored than
a year ago.
The tendency to expand potato
acreage is. reported particularly
marked>in the cotton belt, in Mich.
kiiNan and Minnesota, and in the
4 &&estern States.
aside from potatoes, the 1927 agri-
culture production program appears
fairly we'll balanced, the depart
ment added. The production season
is reported as fully two weeks
early, with frost out of the ground
and spring work coming into full
swing over most of the country"
