PuT I M Rh r Tii iC. ’J. fP i GU6 Washington'!' Li. c„—-The potato marketing sitnation nt this moment appear* to he serious according to a latemtn Just Issued by the 1.1. S. Department of Agriculture The total production in 1917 Is estimated to have boon 442.G36.000 bushels, or the largest crop ever produced In the United States. Notwithstanding this tact, prices fromi the time of digging to the present have ruled higher than in any previous year of which we have record with the exception of last year when the crop was abnormally short The Department of Agriculture has I een al lo to compute the movement of the present crop with more accuracy than has ever been ttossible before and from all the information available it appears that not tnpre than onethird of the marketing surplus of the crop of 1917 has been moved up to December 31. In other words, there remained to be moved upon January 1. two cars of the crop of 1917 for every car marketed up to that tltne. The movement since January 1 has not been noticeably accelerated. The present reserve stocks are so widely distributed that the transportation problems presented do not appear to .be acute. Generally speaking, more j potatoes could he moved if offered for shipment. 0 The situation demands enlightened, patriotic and vigorous action on the part of all concerned in the movement of this crop. Unless large dealers promptly move the stocks on hand in order to speed up distribution and bring the large reserve still on the farms into the channels of trade, heavy wastage of the crop appears certain to result later in the season. It is lielieved that dealers will in the end find it wiser to move present holding- without profit or even at some loss rather than to risk destructive wastage later in the season. At the same time, present retail prices must lie somewhat reduced if potato conumption is to be stinyilated< as it should be. Price at point of production have generally declined since digging began and many dealers are reputed to hold large stocks purchased at prices higher tha nthose now prevailing. This may account in some measure for the present slew rate of movement out of some of the heaviest producing areas and for the abnormally wide difference between present wholesale prices to the grower and retail prices to the consumer. Under existing and prospective condition- no material quantity of potatoes can be exported or converted into 'non-perishable products this season. The crop can not be carried over. It ' must he consumed or wasted. The ' food situation throughout the world 'demands that it be consudied effectively to relieve the existing strain 'on the supply of cereals. It is the one ■great food resource of the world upon which there is now danger of a heavy ■ loss and the department is of the opinlion that the situation demands that, farmers sell freely, that the larger dealers move their stocks rapidly; and that the retailer content himself with the smallest possible margin of profit, realizing that he is now the most important factor in speeding up potato ' consumption. plow, beet lifter. 3-horse evener, set of dump boards, set of work harness.
