Heading: Corte says man handling Prison Farm doesn't care about returns..By a Staff Correspondent

Text: Loxley, May 29.  `Dumping' of potatoes from a 1,000 acre state-owned planting at the Atmore Prison Farm today was blamed as a contributory reason for the deplorable condition of the early Irish potato market. Ernest Corte, of the firm of A. A. Corte & Sons here, one of the South's largest produce growing and shipping firms, asserted the Alabama state board of administration had let the huge Atmore planting out on consignment to Albert Miller of Chicago, `and he has been dumping the potatoes with no thought of the market. He makes his commission, and doesn't care about prices.' Miller could not be reached for a statement.
