POTATO CUT = The TT. S. De-
partment of Agriculture has recon-
mended a Is per cent cut this year
under potato acres planted in Del
aware last year.
The department suggests that
Delaware growers plant 1850 acres
of potatoes in 1857, according 30
George Vapaa, Kent County agri-
cultural age1t.
Acreage -maraeting guides issued
yearly Jy the department advise
that growers 10 early-iummer crop
states plan 1850 acres of potatoes
this year, as compared with 160,-
900 acres planted in 1885,. These
early-summer crop states include
Missouri, Kansas, Maryland, Vir-
ginia, North Carolina, Georgia,
Kentucky, Tennessee, and Texas.
Growers in larger production
areas have been urged to cut acre
ages back from the 1856 level be-
cause of the fairly stable yearly re-
quirements for potatoes, the agent
reports. The upward trend in the
average yield per acre is another
reason for cutting planted acreage.
