TOP PRICES PAID
FOR POTATO CROP
NOW BEING DUG
Farmers Here Receiving $3.50
Per Hundred i'm Contrast to
S1.10 Last Year
Good Growing Conditions Pro-
ducing Bumper Crop Altho
Acreage is Less

With excellent growing conditions
producing a bumper potato crop,
Bluffton farmers are receiving $3.50
per hundred or 40c per peck for the
first potatoes being dug this week,
it was reported here Tuesday. Po-
tatoes are being sold on Bluffton
retail markets for soc per peck.
The total acreage of potatoes in
this area is likely less than it was
last year due largely to the large
amount of labor involved in their
harvest.
Those, however, who have suf-
ficient labor to handle the crop are
receiving at the present time more
than twice the price of S1.10 per
hundred paid last year for early
potatoes.
Crop Ready i'm August
Most of the potatoes will not be
dug until August, the regular har-
vest period. The main crop should
be ready by the first week in
August this year in contrast to the
latter part of the month last year.
Excellent growing conditions are
responsible for this difference, it
was stated.
Early indications are that pota-
toes are larger in size and generally
more uniform than previously. A
general average Of 300 bushels per
acre is expected with some farmers
expecting as high as 800 bushels.
The Bluffton news. [volume] (Bluffton, Ohio) 1875-current, 1942-07-09

A problem of storage is expected
again this year with some of the
growers in the district discussing the
possibility of a community storage
bin. Only few of the growers are
equipped for storage which forces
immediate marketing of the crop re-
gardless of price.
Potato Digger Used
The early potatoes have been dug
largely by hand because of the
smaller quantities involved at the
present time. Once the harvest is
under way most of the growers use
the potato digger as quicker and
more efficient method.
With less potatoes being raisec
this year it is likely that satisfac.
tory prices will generally prevail
Expenses of potato production are
also higher with farmers reporting
that $50 per acre is about the aver,
age expense involved.
busting and spraying of potatoes
are required about every two weeks
to keep the crop in condition, grow
ers here said.

Walters at Joe:s Restaurant
Win Longest Mew York Strike
Minor Dispute Touched OF woIkout
Four Years and Eiqht Months Aqo

The historic walkout, which
started over a dispute concern
ing one mans one-day job, and
which was aired in virtually ev-
cry court and before labor medi-
ators galore, ended Yesterday in
a thee-Way victory for the man
with the napkin over his arm.
AS in the case Of Manhattan's
brass rail restaurant strike, set
tied last Wednesday at nearly
80 months of picketing, it was a
priest who engineered the agree
ment.
In both instances, the Rev.
John p. Boland, chairman of the
state labor relations board, talk
ed the disputants into signing a
peace pact.
OutgroWth of the brass rail
settlement, since Joe's was taken
over by that management last
January, yesterdays agreement
was hailed y Nat Messing, bust
ness agent for Local 2 of the
Walters and Mattresses Union of
Brooklyn and Queens (AFL), as
a total victory for the union.
1t was on July 81, 1887, Mes
sing recalled, that restaurateur
Joseph Sartori telephoned the
union and asked for a waiter 10
work one day as substitute for
a sick employee.
Sartori disliked the man the
union sent and refused to hire
him, Messing said, Whereupon
So employees stalked out - and
stayed out. Nobody knows how
far the pickets actually walked
perhaps a million miles, all
told-but according to Messing
their feet won them:
/ A closed union shop.
2. A closed union shop for 9TH
er restaurant employees as well.
3. A So weekly raise, bringing
their salary to S14 for a nine
hour, six -day week.
Waiter: Check, please.

According to a company spokes-
man, the staggered shift system

Under the stagger system work
ers on each shift will be divided
in two groups. and one group will
report for work an hour before the
other group.

II will require only 90 buses at

The riders exchange is a sys-
TEN whereby all persons desiring
to take fellow workers to and
from work register their names
with the company. The company
then assigns riders who have reg
istered with the bureau and who
live in the same vicinity as the
