INCREASE IN
EARLY POTATO
ACREAGE need
Committee Sees Short
age In Old Crop
Supply Before New
Market Ready.
By HARRY L. SEXTON

WASHINGTON, Nov. "a mod
crate increase in early potato acre
age is recommended by the Inter-
state Early Potato Committee, which
recently completed q survey OF the
potato situation and forecasts short
age Of the supply Of old potatoes by
early spring.
The increase recommended for the
entire early producing sections is
approximately 8 per cent over the
acreage Of last year, but in the ex-
ira early sections, an increase Of
10 to 10 per cent has been recon-
mended.
According to the estimates Of the
committee the commercial stocks on
hand. January /, 1880. will be about
100000 bushels. or AZ, 1000. 900
bushels less than on January /,
1923. The total per capita pro-
duction for 1929 appears to be ap-
proximately 2.94 bushels as COM
pared with 3.87 bushels in 1923.
High Price tor Old Crop
These figures indicate that the
supply Of old potatoes will be lin
tied by the time the extra early
crop is ready for market, and
Eastern dealers are predicting that
old potatoes will at that time bring
as high a price as is usually paid
for the new crop. Northern po-
tatoeS are bringing unprecedented
prices, and the efforts Of the COM
mittee are now being directed to-
ward securing a moderate increase
in the early production to meet
the expected demand Of the early
and late spring and to impress up
on the Northern growers that heavy
expansion OF the late summer and
fall acreages will doubtless result
in a serious reduction in prices dur
ing the latter part Of the year.
The Interstate Early Potato Com
mittee Is primarily q steering and
an advisory committee whose chief
function is to solve the economic
problems affecting the producers Of
early potatoes. The personnel con-
siStS Of the directors of extension
of the states Of Maryland, Vir-
ginia and North Carolina. the as
Sistant chief Of the federal bureau
Of cooperative extension work, as
siStant chief Of the bureau Of agri-
cultural economics, the specialist in
charge Of the division of fruits and
vegetables. chief OF the bureau Of
markets, a grower and also a deal
er from each state. A full time Sec
rotary is employed. subcommittee
VI being organized in state for
work on definite phases or the gen.
eral problem.
The detectives Of this committee
are to make the early potato indus
try permanently profitable to the
producer, TO secure a regulation OF
the supply, to meet the expected
demand, to prevent years of scar
city and years OF over production
with advance information on which
TO base their potato acreage, and
10 interpret and explain TO the pro-
Queer the nature and value Of crop
outlook information.
Acreage Recommended
Commenting upon the situation
in the southern producing area, the
committee in a recent report stated:
The committee believes there is
room for a moderate increase in
acreage In 1890 and 1929 in certain
areas in the South which are sure
to be benefited b, the indicated
shortage and high price Of northern
grown stock. Therefore. the COM
mittee Is recommending the acre
age shown below.

Sen. George II. Moses Of New Hampshire Is the re-
publican voice Of New England. He is the states
man who classified the Volstead law as "a jackass
act" He is the statesman who branded Borah and
his fellow senator's as sons Of jackasses"
He Is an adroit politician who is chairman Of the
senatorial committee directing the campaign In many
states to return all the republican senators who viii
stand for reelection and to grab as many democratic
seats as possible. Now washington says that Sen
Moses viii be the successor OF Dwight Morrow as
ambassador to the court Of Gales.
Moses is a newspaper publisher. He Is one OF the
ablest editorial writers connected with the New Eng
land press Now Is Moses going to get the skids? Is
he going to be sent out Of the country for the good
of the republican party?
Walter Edge Of New Jersey was the republican SEN
Rtor. a dripping wet. Edge Is o gentleman Of great
wealth. He loves 70 strut the social stuff. He was
sent as ambassador TO France. thus paving the way
for Dwight Morrow to become at some future time
"the gentleman from New Jersey in the senate Of
the United States"
Edge. a wet republican, is out Of the picture.
Moses. a wet republican, may be pushed out Of the
picture and sent to Mexico where "the SONS OF wild
asses will not disturb him and this "jackaSs law" is
