SPUD POOL
The final figures on the 1949-50 potato
pool are being computed end should be avail
able by late next week. The period now
being comp uted will cover potatoes graded
up till the end of May. /iccording to Mr.
'Esslinger, 37,364 sacks had been graded In
.that period not counting the early potatoes
that were Bought on a flat price In Septem
ber.
Computing Payments for a pool of this type j
entails more work th"n many realize. This
year the rate of payment per hundred pounds
will be increased each month to compensate
for shrinkage and other losses. This re
quires the accountant to segregate receipts
by date to give the proper distribution.
Storage charges will be deducted on those
potatoes stored In the Co-op cellar. This
calls for further detail. Labor charges
must be deducted according -to the tine
spent on each Individual's crop. A great
deal of figuring is necessary to establish
the base rate and monthly rates of payment.!
At this time it is too early to give fig** . :
ures.
June potatoes will be handled as a s^por- \
ate lot rnd will not be officially com1
pleted until the latter part.of July.
