Rensselaer Semi-Weekly Republican, Volume 39, Number 96, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 9 August 1907 — Potato Crop Small. [ARTICLE]

Potato Crop Small.

Reports come in irom various parts of the country to the effect that the potato crop this year will be extremely slim. The potato vines seemed to have grown large enough on the vines but when one digs into the hills only one or two small sized potatoes are found. The cause is thought to lie in the long cold weather in the spring and the too abundant rains during the season.
