POTATO YIELDS TO T
! Be UP, PRICES OFF
Both Irish and Sweet Potato
Productions Forecast
for Season

College Station, Raleigh, April I
An increased production of Irish ana
sweet potatoes, with lower prices IS
indicated for 1887 crop, Prof. M. f.
Gardner. of State College, said today.
Irish potato growers in nearly all
States producing early and interme-
date potatoes commercially are plan
ming to increase acreage and produc-
ton this year, according to report
professor Gardner. received from the
Federal Bureau of Agricultural Eco
nomics.
In the early States, the report said,
90 per cent increase in acreage over
last year is expected, and in the inter
mediate States 7 percent increase
is indicated In 10 of the late States
an average increase of 6 per cent is
indicated.
For the entire nation, the increase
in acreage will probably be around 6
per cent, the report stated. Prices
will probably be lower than in 1886
but higher than in other recent years
it was estimated.
Although a larger acreage will be
planted, Professor Gardner continued
this will be offset to some extent by
the fact that there is a smaller sup
ply of old potatoes remaining to be
marketed.
The sweet potato crop for 1887 will
probably run around 100000 bush
els, assuming normal yields, the re-
port said. This would be about II per-
cent more than produced in 1886, and
about percent above the 1928-'32 aver
age.
Prices to farmers over the country
averaged 939 cents a bushel on Feb
ruary Is, or cents higher than on
January Is, and "a cents higher than
on February Is, 1886. It was the
highest February price since 1880.
The expected increase in sweet p~
tato' production this year will probab-
~ result in slightly lower prices, the
report pointed out.

New York, April 1.-The drama sea-

nothing, on the whole, to race the
pulse, it did produce at least one first
rate play, the KaufmanHart hilarity,
You Can't Take It With You"
OF course, the New York Drama
Critics Circle has just handed down
its solemn opinion, accompanied by a
handsome plaque, that High Tor, a
piece Of tony poetic whimsy by Max
well Anderson, was the best play of
the season. That's not surprising. If
they had picked you Can't Take It
With You," I'd have gone back for
another look to. see what was wrong
with the play which seemed so good
on first inspection.
The season gave birth to several
other excellent entertainments, in
these eyes. There was the Noel Cow

other Kaufman confection; there was
