THE PROSPECTIVE POTATO CROP. 
(CONTINUED.) 
Tbe potato crop seems about an average one in 
this locality, about tbe same acreage, and the 
yield about tbe same as last year. As a general 
thing, more were planted last year anti this than 
has been the eustoiii berfe. Slost likely less will 
be plabteii ne&t year. I think that; as a riile, the 
htriners are thclined to sell as soon as they can, 
Sind hot hold for higher prices. There are some 
fears ot rot on account of protracted wet weather. 
Columbia County, Pa. mahlon eager 
After diligent inquiry among farmers, both in 
Ontario and Wayne Counties, and after examin¬ 
ing my own crop, I have come to the conclusion 
that the yield will not be over half what it was 
last year. If the dry weather continue much 
onger, it will not be over one-fourth of last 
year’s. Most farmers with whom I have con¬ 
versed, seem to be inclined to market this fall. 
The yield of early potatoes was less than it has 
been for years, #. ft. h. 
Ontario County, N. \ 7 . 
fTroni present conditions prevailing oter this 
Section of country, the potato chop will be, At 
lfeast, 50 per cfent less than last year, which may 
bfing the yield up within 20 per cent of a normal 
chop. Carihan No. 3, that yielded 685 bushels 
Per acrfe last year With us, does not promise more 
tbah 175 bushels at present. All other late varie¬ 
ties ate in the sanie proportion ; eafly varieties 
Very light-yield on an average. Farmers will sell 
as soon as the shipping season begins. These esti¬ 
mates are from authentic sources. 
Waukesha County, Wis. frasier Bros. 
The potato crop here is very poor on high land, 
and rather below the average on low land. Last 
season, the best yields were obtained on high 
land. Sod land has more White Grubs than I 
have ever before seen, aDd potatoes planted on 
such* are badly eateii. I think it fair to estimate 
this season’s yield at one-half that of last. Last 
August, the price for A 1 potatoes was 75 cents 
phr bushfel; now they have been sold as low as 35 
cents. No farmer seems to want to hold a bushel 
if he can sell. I think that one-third of last year’s 
potato crop was fed to cattle, c. n. brewster. 
Plymouth County, Mass. 
I have made some inquiries concerning pota¬ 
toes, and find that, on 11 farms* the acreage is 81) 
per cent of last yeaFs crop, 'two or three estb 
tnate their yield greater than last year, the others 
from one-half to two-thirds of previous crop. I 
think that the majority favor selling as soon as 
the market opens. There is considerable blight, 
and it is very dry. I believe it is safe to say that 
there will not be more than three-fourths as many 
potatoes in this locality as there were last year, 
probably, not more than 50 or 60 per cent of that 
crop. Grubs are doing some damage, but I can 
make no estimate as to how much. g. a parcell. 
Bradford County, Pa. 
It is the general opinion of farmers in northern 
Berks and northwestern Lehigh Counties, that 
the crop of potatoes now being gathered is the 
best ever grown in that locality. The tubers are 
large, and generally sound. In low land, they 
have rotted badly, but the percentage is too 
small to be of much account. The crop, as far as 
taken Up, < xceeds that of last year, which was 
unusually large. Some growers are selling for 
what they can get, others are holding off for 
higher prices. There are, probably, more pota¬ 
toes grown in this section than in any other equal 
amount of territory in the State. j. m. m. 
Pennsylvania. 
While the acreage is somewhat less than last 
year, tbe crop will be as large, as they have made 
a better growth, and, consequently, more of them 
are of marketable size. I think that farmers 
would be inclined to 6 ell this fall if they could 
get, say, 25 cents per bushel at home. Altoona, a 
city of about 40,000 population, is our principal 
market for produce, but is already overstocked. 
Potatoes are dull of sale at 20 to 25 cents per 
bushel, delivered. We are 25 miles from our 
market. A great quantity of potatoes were fed 
says, “ Potatoes look well everywhere, and I pre¬ 
dict a good yield and low prices.” One speculator 
offered to contract for delivery at digging time, 
at 25 cents per bushel, and claims that he could 
have bought a million bushels, but bought but 
one lot of 15 acres. EarlJ- jiolatoes are hxcelleht 
iii quality, which will increase the ccnsumptiofa, 
and late potatoes have plenty of time to grow 
half yet. Potatoes make the most, of their growth 
in the last few days or weeks of their life. Buy¬ 
ers are talking down prices so as to begin buying 
cheap. All other kinds of food are so cheap that 
it will not be possible to force the price, even 
with a half crop, above reasonable limits. No 
one can more than guess at the prospect, which 
is more variable with this crop than any other on 
the farm. c. E. chapman. 
Tompkins County, N. Y. 
The yield of early potatoes this year will not be 
one-quarter of last year, when we had a full crop. 
It will cut the average 5 per cent in the total 
yield of this section. With the blight in early- 
pianled late varieties; it will be hard to inalte iin 
estimate of the total yield until September 15. 1 
have known from one-half to all to rot where the 
blight has struck them; In thetowns of Newark, 
Lyons, Phelps, Palinyra and Sodus, the average 
is about 85 per cent Of last year. I have been oh 
the road all over these towns in the past two 
weeks, and from wbat I can learn, that will be a 
safe estimate. The tendency will be to market 
most of the stock direct from the field, as in the 
towns of Newark and Phelps, farmers grow 
potatoes for their money crop, and they will be 
obliged to sell to pay help and settle other bills. 
Wayne County, N. Y. c. E. kelley. 
In my immediate vicinity, the early potato crop 
suffered all the season from a deficiency of deep 
moisture. Since the frost left in the spring, there 
has not been sufficient rainfall at one time; to 
moisten tile soil 12 inches deep, though there bkve 
Been many small showers. This has cut bur 
early potatoes nearly or quite 50 per cent in 
yield. Where I counted on 400 bushels, I get a 
trifle over 200. Others, trying for less, get about 
the same proportion. All the potatoes are there, 
but are small sized and poorly matured. In other 
localities, where the drought has been less severe, 
the vines are promising, but disappointing when 
the crop is dug. From the fact that our whole¬ 
sale rates have gbne as low as 50 cents per bushel; 
and are now 70 cents or more, I infer that the 
product* generally, will fall considerably short of 
last year; especially as rot is beginning to show 
in late potatoes. Farmers are divided In opiuibh 
whether it is best to sell at once or hold for better 
prices; dr. jabez fisher. 
Worcester County* Mass. 
The potato crop will be smaller than last year. 
We have several hundred acres growing, and 1 
question whether they will yield over 150 bushels 
per acre right straight through. We have a few 
acres that will run as high as 300 bushels, and 
some few kinds that will not give us over 75. 
Taking western New York as a whole, I would 
say that the acreage is 20 per cent less than last 
year, and the condition is about 70 per cent. I 
believe that the average yield will not be over 100 
bushels per acre. Farmers are complaining that 
potatoes are not setting heavily; in fact, at least 
a score have told me that they have pulled up 
great big hills only to find one to three potatoes 
in them, while last year, under similar conditions, 
they would find a peck. In some sections of our 
State, blight is general, but just around here, we 
have no blight whatever. Our crop does not come 
into the market till after November 1 to any ex¬ 
tent, and I believe that farmers will sell largely 
for what they can get. Times are so extremely 
hard that they will be compelled to sell to get 
money to live on. With beans, wheat and apples 
as cheap as they certainly will be, I can see no 
possibility of high prices for potatoes. The in¬ 
dications are that with wheat and beans at 60 
cents per bushel, apples at 60 cents per barrel, 
potatoes at comparative prices, should not be 
worth over -20 cents per bushel. I hope, how¬ 
ever, that I am mistaken in the last statement.

POTATOES. 
at any price, and that will, probably, be the 
situation next spring. No great quantities of 
potatoes are raised here, most farmers having 
but from one to four acres, a few having eight 
and ten acres. s. k. 
Bedford County, Pa. 
Among professional growers, as much area is 
planted as usual, perhaps a little more; but the 
small operators, sharemen and gardeners have 
dropped out. I believe that the total acreage is 
considerably smaller than last year. The farm¬ 
ers are predicting a much lighter yield, some say 
one-half of last season. The reasons given are, 
a light setting of tubers, from three to six being 
the average; the blight, which is prevalent every¬ 
where; the rot, which is bad among early varie¬ 
ties, and the grubs, which spoil the tubers for 
market. As a class, the farmers feel slight losses 
more, and grumble harder on slight provocation, 
than those of other occupations. Potatoes never 
made a larger growth of tops, and are maturing 
fast. The blight is retarded by the hot, dry 
weather, and is making slow progress. The rot, 
so far, is confined to a small area, mostly in gar 
dens, and three to six tubers are enough, if mer¬ 
chantable, for a good yield. The grubs are doing 
damage on dry knolls which constitute a small 
percentage of the area. Better care has been 
given this crop than usual, in hopes of a “revolu¬ 
tion in conditions”, and some yields will average 
better. There is an immense crop of potato bugs 
now, and as but few are doing anything about it, 
many will lose more than by all the other causes 
combined. A friend who travels extensively in
