POTATOIS
It might pay farmers good dividends to
vateh the potato market closely-at this
time. From all indications it mould ^ap
pear that prices mill tend to rise during
the- ye'ai* more than they have .already risen
From the Agricultural reports on Crop Es
timates,' me find this information:
In July, 13 surplus states indicated that
their production mould be about 75$ of the
1946 cron. The 29 late states reported
a' out '74$ of the 1946 production.
TVrthcr comparison mith previous years
averages indicated that the production
as estimated mas less than 905? of the
1936-45 average yield in the late states.
In the surplus States it mas 93$ of the
1945-46 average.
On September 26—reports state that the
amount of acreage over the states ’mas
38$ of the 1946 yield or 12$ short. Due
to very dry conditions in many of those
states production had fallen to 66$ of
'lc 1946 yield.
As production falls, prices go up. This
is rhat is happening in the potato mar
ket so far—
