THE POTl'l'0 CROP

Sir.-l trust you will permit nie to

otl`er a few criticisms of a recent ed- Iorial ot’ yours on “The Potato (‘rop," ven tliough being n farmer l cannot be expected to know as mneh as it

First, then, the statement that the

vlll not be more than one-fifth ot' that amount. Too much, I grant_yoii.

with alarm." Secondly, much ol’ this

green and soft, making them easily

onibincil with abnormally hot trou- lier, iauses decay to set it. Tliirilly. he reason we are getting only 48 to

Brunswick t`armer's`80 to 85 ecntS. iii not because we have not the riglil arietles, but because this is the that time in at least 20 years that a good crop and a good price have eoine to- gether. and 45 cents is more than we have ever received, except lust fall, when we had only one-third of ii crop.

Thus farmers are rushing their po-

tatoes to market to save the labor of storing and repicklng them. and deal- es, when they can get all they can handle for 40 to 45 cents will cer- tainly not pay more, In proof of this-, if you will look up t.he market reports of this time last year, you will iinil that prices in St. John, Mon- treal and ’l‘oi'onti» were not liilshtif than now, and our island potatoes were thi.-n briutziiig |15 cents, siniply lit-ifaiisp they were a very litrht eiop, und' our farincrs were iinwillin;.: to sell. liesliics, ii` the white varieties are worth 40 cents per bushel more than rcil or blue, why are our deal- ers ouly paying 5 cents inure per bushel t`or them?

Auotlier reiisinii than their suscept-

ibility to rot prevents us from tIi‘0W- iug the white varieties,-uainoly. their lower feeding: value as eoinparcd' withj“‘!\’li:lniyi'os." l rim not aware that any iilif-iiiiezil analysis has been iu:ii'.i: to iliiterinine the i`t‘lt1i.lV@ f00ll value oi' dl|`l'i~.i'eii't variet.i<‘s nl pota- toes, as has been dorio with tiirnlllg und nianirels, but the ifoiismisus of opini-on of observant. fariners is that the white varieties are int'cri»or to “i\ieliityres."

Now, sini-c a tariner live miles from

the railroad cannot. attorii' to sell po- tatoes tm- less than 25 ircnts, they being worth that for feed. and since they were worth only 20 cents in the tall of 1012, 25 cents in 19151, mth- lng at. all in 1914. anti as lately as tho sprint: ol' 1915, blue potatoes were the only kind' saleable at any price, surely it is not strange that lslanil farineiii plant only ii small aci‘t:n;:e oi' white potatoes. _

lu anotliei- »eilitoi~ial in your issiit-V of
