RUSH OF POTATOES
OMARKET SEEN AS
RESULT OF DROUTH
r. f. Cunkelman Advises Re.
gional Board Of Effect Of
Crop Reduction

II government estimates Of potato
production in the United States is ac-
curate. all of the potatoes produced
IN the Northwest his year will move
to market instead Of a large percent
age being left in the ground as was
the case last year. r. F. Gunkelman,
Fargo, told the Northwest Shippers
Advisory board meeting here, today.
In Minnesota, Gunkelman said. a
crop Of $4,000. 900 bushels Is forecast
as against $4,000. 900 bushels last year.
In North Dakota the forecast is for q
crop Of II, 900 900 bushels which is a
substantial reduction from last years
crop.
Continued drouth in large areas will
have the effect Of still further re-
ducing production. Gunkelman said.
Late potatoes have not yet begun to
set in the Red River valley. however.
and if good rains come Dor they may
help the crop.
The reduction in potato acreage in
both North Dakota and Minnesota is
outside the Red River valley which
shows a slight increase in the acre.
age planted. The stand is thin, how
ever, and continued drouth would
mean a very light crop.
The big factor in the shipment Of
potatoes. Gunkelman said. is the
price. He predicted that increased
prices, because of lower production
would give the railroads as big a poo
tato tonnage from the northwest as
they received last year when prices
were SO low that 1t was improbable
to dig and ship the tubcrs.
Although he has no recent data
from South Dakota. Gunkelman said,
the state is not a large potato pro-
ducer and its acreage varies very
little.
He predicted an earlier movement
Of Minnesota potatoes than was ex-
perienccd last year.
Organization of a growers and ship
perS association in the Red River val
ley. now under way. will result in an
organization which will be in better
position to gather information on the
prospective potato yield each year
than has any group in the past
