jnced tho last few years In the
west and northwest, A very few
years ago there was a largo acre
age in potatoes In this valley, tho
greater per cent having been pro
duced for seed purposes and wtero
passed for certification. How
ever, a poor market has lessened
tho acreage considerably in tho
last two years. This your saw a
good crop and a good prico but tho
acrcago was comparatively amull.

periodic overproduction in the
potato market through elimina

northwest and Itocky mountain
area if plans to be considered
finally next Saturday at Hulse,
Idaho, carry through.
