POTATOES 



The state was about to harvest as large a crop in 1926 as in 1925 when 

 freezing temperatures at digging time damaged the bulk of the crop materially. 

 The 1926 production was placed at 2 975,000 bushels compared with 3,780,000 in 

 1925 and 2,992,000 in 1924. At that estimate the 1926 figure included considera- 

 ble damaged stock that has since shown up as bad, although it was harvested. 

 Shipments from the 1926 crop to date of January 29th were 432 cars compared 

 with 894 cars to date of January 30th a year ago and the total of 1,508 cars from 

 the 1925 crop. It is not expected that the full season's shipments will show any 

 stronger ratio to last year's total than that shown in the movement from both 

 crops to date.
