SAN BENITO, Mar. 90
farmer in the San Benito district
today announced that he has sold
his eight-acre potato patch at 8
cents a pound In the field.
This is considered one OF the
best prices ever paid for a potato
crop in the field, and was paid due
to the present high market, and
the fact that the crop Is early, and
will be dug and shipped Don
probably bringing a large prem
ium.
The crop is expected TO yield
around 200 bushels to the acre,
which will mean that the farmer
will get more than $500 an acre for
his crop, or approximately $1,000
for the crop from the eight-acre
field.
