Reports from farmers throughout the country show a tendency to Increase acreage. Potato plantings expected on the farms reported to date show a Tift increase of about 15 per cent. With average growing conditions, cites the department, such an Increase In acreage "would result In much lower pri's to growers.

In 192f there was only a small Increase in acreage, a larger increase being prevented by the high cost of seed and by the fear of a repetition of overproduction and low prices.

The cooperative field Is helng entered with optimism. Market condi tions last year made beekeepers of this region feel they needed stronger organization, a better financial foun dation, and a wider standardization f white honey grades to cope with distance from principal markets and the new email-lo- t buying practices of the honey trade. It was felt a e cooperative would We ade quate to handle surplus supplies. The offices at cooperative will open Holse, Idaho, with J M. Stark of that city, active in the Idaho Hono,' Producers' association, as president. ITogress of the new cooperative will be followed closely hy all honey producers. It starts life under auspicious circumstances, though Its first task is the unpleasant one of disr honey from the posing of 192S crop. Movement of suralus honey stocks on eastern markets, which tightened the market late In 1926, has been fairly brisk the last few nionths. The California crop has been largely cleared. The 1918 stored "while honey" volume was unusually large, but the enthusiastic honey cooperators anticipate little difficulty In moving It before there Is danger of competition with tns fresh 1927 crop. bee Entry of the lntermountaln laboratory Is expected to hare a generally stimulating Influence on the holier industry. This region has several disease problems not found elsewhere. Agricultural colleges in which educational activities In apiculture have lapsed since the last men trained In beekeepvocational ing were released with certificates will revl.e this branch, both on the campus and.
