Show THE POTATO CROP I 1 notice in an article in your paper that the potato crop is a partial failure hereabouts hereabout and the sup la in some goals parts that tile the price to ie likely to be position aun is ip ahe higher r than last season for this product if this is ie really the case cage there is no cause for alarm OMO amo 9 purchasers for the last few years there has been an n abundant aroi crop and in all probability there will be this year except in a few localities tb abia 8 partial failure should hould not cause people to run to extremes elther either producers cers or buyers it la lowell well known stat that commission merchants merchante and others are ever on the alert too to take advantage of any circumstances to make money for themselves no matter at whose expense and for or caution should be used this thia reason it is a fact that R abw year or two ago potatoes were so plentiful that they could scarcely be given away even in the spring time when they would naturally be dear and two or three farmers in the southern part of the county shipped hipped several car loads east the expense of transportation and after paying por tation from 8 indy andy to the eastern market obtained fourteen cents per bushel for this they had to haul them from farms to the depot to say ay nothing of the cost of labor in raising them the previous summer eriq ti orinK them thein during the winter them etc spro proeung this season thoro there will be an abundance ince for home consumption and perhaps plenty to send away if there should be a market open fur them but year the outside demand was very limited the conclusion I 1 have arrived at on this question is that farmer should be content with a fair remuneration foghis for his labor and not net hold bold on to his potatoes till next spring and perhaps as has often been the cue case dispose of them for less than he was offered for them in the fall or not sell them at all some have said eald they would rather feed them to the cows or throw therm them away than sell them for such a price this to la cheer nonsense as everybody knows that farming carried on in t is way would son so in bring financial ruin it to Is much better to dispose of perishable crops lor a fair remuneration than to ruu run the risk of getting nothing the best beg and safest way is to avoid extremes Respect respectfully respectful fu
