Countrywide Produce Situation 
SHORT POTATO CROP STARTS UPWARD PRICE 
MOVEMENT—FRUITS LIGHT, BUT 
HOLDING THEIR OWN 
The potato crop is moving to the cen¬ 
tre of the stage. The rather sensationally 
light yield in some sections and the rapid 
advance in Eastern markets suggest a 
season full of interesting possibilities. It 
has been some years since the potato 
liortage was in the East as distinct from 
the Far West, and the relative action of 
the city markets should be worth noting. 
Canada may be expected to ship some 
stock, bnt the Canadian potato crop is 
only fairly large in Ontario, and To per 
cent in New Brunswick and Nova Scotia. 
POTATOES LIGHT 
With only 310.000.000 bushels, or about 
three-fourths of last year’s crop, fairly 
high prices for potatoes seem assured. 
The figures recall the rather short crop 
of 1919, which was 356,000.000. and a 
very short crop of 285,000,000 in 1916. 
The Northeast and the Far West hold up 
well in yield, but the great shortage in 
the crop of the. heavy producing trio— 
Minnesota, Wisconsin and Michigan—as 
well as in the Central West and the 
South, as far north as New Jersey, 
seems to threaten the usual supply of the 
main' Eastern markets. 
Mai ’.e farmers hold an enviable posi¬ 
tion this year, with a good crop of pota¬ 
toes and apples, both of which seem sure 
to be needed. Georgia is another lucky 
State, with the only big peach crop and 
unlimited supplies of watermelons. Most 
of the remaining good fortune seems to 
be in the Far West, where fruits and 
nearly everything else have been doing 
well this season. The South was fortu¬ 
nate in its crop of sweet potatoes, which 
have been improving, while Northern 
potatoes were drying up, and seem likely 
to equal one-third the bulk of the white 
potato crop, and should sell at good 
pr’ce’s under the general conditions pre- 
vailing. The South will no doubt put in 
a good-sized crop of Fall potatoes, and 
should do wcil with them. 
FRUIT MOSTLY WESTERN 
The apple crop looks a little better 
than in early Summer, but the gain is not 
startling, and the outlook is for scarcely 
more than half the yield of last year. 
Nearly half the crop is in Washington, 
Oregon and California. Canada has a 
large crop and British Columbia and 
Nova Scotia. Probably the Canadian 
surplus will go mostly to England, where 
the crop is short and prices high. It is 
a question whether the United States will 
have many apples for export. It depends 
on the price. 
About one-half the peach crop is in the 
Northwest. New York is credited with 
over 2,000,000 bushels, nearly as many 
as last year, but the crop as ti whole is 
only three-fourths of last season’s pro¬ 
duction and nearly a failure in the inter¬ 
mediate shipping sections from Maryland 
and Virginia westward. The commercial 
pear <-op. too, is chiefly in the Far West 
and New York State. It bears about the 
same relation as apples to last year’s crop. 
CABBAGE AND ONION YIELD LESS 
I ate cabbage seems to be about two- 
thirds of last year’s production, having 
been cut down by reason of less planting 
and by dry hot. weather in the main 
Northern producing sections. Onions for 
similar reasons are likely to make about 
tliree-fourths of the full crop. They are 
starting at .$2.50 to $3 per 100 pounds in 
city markets. G. b. f.
