Hi lie 1921 potato crop will be only ;

according to the Department of '
Agriculture estimates.
experts, however, believe that i

the fact that business depression;
checked food waste. Housewives I
|M|e paring potatoes more closely. Ec- !
KSmny in the kitchen is cutting down :
amount of cooked potatoes that
left over from meals and go to i
garbage can.
It will require not much such
to make 85 potatoes this
go as far as 100 went last
And that’s what the potato
calls for.
Better Condition
'' I Hot, dry summer injured the Irish .
M"tato crop nationally. Ruined it, in ;
■cine sections.
|||| Sweet potato crop will run about ;
usual, no shortage, the crop now |
■icing estimated at 1 10,000,000 bush- j
or 97 per cen of average.
Ws The crop of white potatoes will be j
■hroe bushels for every American.
The 1915-1919 average for white j
■'otatoes was 371,283,000 bushels a
■year. The 1920 crop of 428,000,000
■bushels was exceptionally big and can
■not be used as a fair comparison.
11l Department of Agriculture esti
■mates the crop is in better condition
■than was believed a month ago. Final
■yields may be still better.
S Officials point out that the potato
■ crop is in bad sbane compared with
■ the apple yield, which is estimated
■ iiow at 58 per cent of usual average,
■ grapes 65 and pears 68.
Prices H'gh Now
8 Even if the potato market goes
■ into a mild shortage, market experts
■ look for no material price advance.
■ They point out that potato prices in
I cities now are very high, far out of
I line with what farmers are getting.
I This is one cause of the short crop.
■ Michigan farmers have been getting
I as low as 15 cents a bushel for pota-
I toes, so many potatoes are rotting in
I the fields.
I Now York, as usual, will produce
I more potatoes than any other state.
I Crop there is 84 per cent of the 10-
■ year average.
■ rennrylvaira will come second m
I potato yield, according to late esti-
,!?■., Maine third: Minnesota fourth,
■ , Jti’in fifth, Michigan sixth, Cal-
I ifoi-ma seventh, Colorado eighth, Vir
| ninth.
