Ovor in Idaho tho speculators bavo control of tho stock now and many of tho ranchers reallzod only $1.00 to $1.25 por hundrod. "So far only sevon carloads hnvo been sold from this section at from $1.00 to $1.10. , "There aro 114 ranchors with fairly-largo fields of potatoes In tho county, Of thoso 4G bolong to the association. If the ranchers will con tinue their co-operative effort, I am sure that noxt year the potato busi ness in this soctlon will bo moro Muballzed. Wo have throe things to do howover. First; 11 uy good seed. Wo haya lost $50,000 this yoar on poor sood, If not mora than that. Secend: Out a compotc-nt com- mlttoo to handle tho purchasing of ' tho seed and the sale of tho crop, Third: Get proparod so that wo can put our crop on thp market early in August. Mr. Gibson has worked njght and day during tho past two weeks to organize tho effort and keep the ranchers Informed as tb tho current quotations. And whllo many of the ranchors havo benefited by this ef fort and still romalnod out ot the asslclatton, the work is to continue. An examplo of the loss which some of tho ranchets have suffered through lack of Information is given In the fact that one or two carloads woro sold to commission men at $1.25 when the association was be ing offered $1.50. Whllo .there aro only about 800 acres In potatoos this yoar It is bo- uoveu mat next year wis acreage will be Increased ten fold.
