Statc'8 Supply of
Potatoes Dwindles
As Demand Grows
... i -
PORTLAND, May 28 (UP)
Wartime needs hav- drained the
Oregon potato market so rapidly
that, although the last carloads
were shipped In April there is
already a serious shortage, a sur
vey of the state's markets re
vealed today.
California imports' of new po
tatoes are supplying about one
tenth of the demand In Portland
and purchases are being rationed
on it one sack to a customer basis.
And the situation throughout the
state, one of the most important
producers in the nation,- is al
ready very tight.
Checks to the chief growing
areas tpday showed that despit--'
a good crop during the past sea
son there is reason to expect evon
fewer potatoes vri 'il "ie now
crops can come in from the south
in amounts .'sufficient to meet
increasing demands, t
The lowly spud is becoming
more and more sought pfter. It
is pointless, delicious, and quite
starchy and filling, making it an
excellent way of padding the
menu in point-scarce homes.
Meanwhile, canned sweet po
tatoes arc fast disappearing from
shelves in stores throughout Ore
gon and victory gardeners are
thinking about planting more
spuds. - - ' ...,.

five's interpretation of the Yalta

the possibility of including in the

the pilots of opposing planes
