increase in ' production was much 

 higher, the actual production in 1909 

 amounting to 389,195,000 bushels, as 

 compared with 273,318,000 bushels in 

 1899, an increase of 115,877,000 bushels, 

 or 42.4 per cent. The average produc- 

 tion per acre, perhaps in part by rea- 

 son qf temporary weather conditions, 

 increased from 93i, bushels to 106.1 

 bushels. Along -mxh the increase in 

 acreage and production went an even 

 larger relative increase in the value of 

 the potato crop, which increased from 

 $98,380,000 to $166,424,000, an increase 

 of over $68,000,000, or 69.2 per cent. 

 The average value of potatoes per 

 bushel thus increased from 36 cents to 

 43 cents, or about 19 per cent. The 

 production of potatoes in 1879 was 169,- 

 459,000 bushels, as compared with 389,- 

 195,000 bushels in 1909. The increase 

 in the thirty years was thus nearly 130 

 per cent. Population during the same 

 period increased about 80 per cent. 

 This is the only important food crop 

 which has increased faster than popu- 

 lation. 



It is interesting to note that while 

 'the percentage of increase in the last 

 ten years is far the greatest in Idaho 

 and New Mexico, New York is the 

 great potato state, producing nearly 13 

 per ooiit of the country's crop, witK 

 Hichigaa and Wisconsin producing
