TO DISCUSS + SIS
Estate LATE
POTATO CODE
Home Grown Spuds eep Price
Down; Estimate 100 Cars of
obblers Still Remain in This
+ Area 49,

rbare has been very little change
!, the status Of the potato deal this
s..t week. Shipments were light and
tr.dinr in Cobblers is almost at q
,tsndstill. It is estimated by MEM.
-. Of the Early Potato Code com
snittee that there are upward OF 100
;r.rs Il Cobblers still remaining in the
- BeFnton ty-White BlBuffs-Ken-
s~.iek area. The past few days OF hot
rather makes it imperative that.
sobhething be done with these Cob
hlers. AS the vines die there is great
danger Of sunburn and stem rot and
f the vines are green and continue to
erow there is great danger of hollow
heart. - - - 80 :. -.>-.s
Now that the harvest of Melted
Gems is pretty general in all of the
early sections on the Yakima Indian
reservation and in the Mabton area,
e Is considered doubtful by dealers
and the Early Potato Code Commit
tee whether all of the remaining Cob
blers will be able to find a home. The
dealers report moderate wire inquiry
this morning from North and South
Dakota but the offers are based on
competitive quotations from Southern
Idaho, Northern Utah and Colorado.
Competition would not return much
sover SO per ton fob shipping point
at the present time.
By the same token the Melted Gems
have stolen the Puget Sound market
but are not meeting with very active
sale owing to heavy supplies of home
grown from almost every section Of
the state.
IA meeting of the Northwest potato
Growers has been called for at Spo-
kane Friday to discuss the feasibility
Of organizing a four-state late pota-
to code. At preliminary meeting at
Yakima number of delegates were
chosen to represent the Yakima val
ley. The problem of the Yakima po-
tato grower is entirely different from
the Idaho grower. It is estimated that
fully 80 per cent of the commercial
crop grown in Washington is con-
sumed within the state. The sparse
population Of Idaho requires that they
be shipped to distant markets. The
freight rate from producing areas in
Southern Idaho is considerably lower
than from the Yakima valley. There
fore it would be necessary to work
out some fob price differential to be
fair to both producing districts.
B. K. Gage, manager Of the Early
Potato Code committee, explained the
workings Of the code in detail to the
Yakima group and expressed himself
q heartily in favor Of q four-state
code but !tAAt n his opinion the min.
mum should be set TO the grower
snd let competition take care Of itself
among dealers.
