each other in planning programs

Song Leadership" will be taught

Potato Shortage
Relieved Soon

The potato situation boils down
to two related factors which are
easily explained, says w. T. Nc
Allister, agriculture economist of
the Delaware Agricultural Exten-
sion Service.
varied, and often confusing ex-
plantations have been given for the
potato famine. There has been
name calling, finger pointing, black
markets, and profiteering on the
lowly potato" he says.
The two factors most important
are: First, the late 1891 crop was
short in some areas, and in some
cases of poo rstorage quality.
Therefore, it did not last into the
spring as usual.
Second, the early. spring crop
was two to four weeks later than
usual in most areas. So, instead
of the usual overlapping OF late
and early crops during May, there
was a gap.
Looking ahead and counting on
good weather, the crisis seems to
be past, says McAllister, and mar
ket supplies should become more
plentiful. The California crop is
now relieving the shortage in the
West. This supply should reach
our Eastern markets in less than
a week. The crop in the Carolinas
and Florida is later than usual, but
Virginia's crop is on time. These
areas will supply our local markets
by mid-June.
For May and June, 35 to 40
million bushels of new potatoes
will be available. This is still six
to 10 bushels below the normal
monthly consumption rate of about
% million bushels. Even so, there
will be no serious lack of potatoes
in the near future as there was in
the immediate past, reports Meal
lister.
