GREAT CROP HEEDED
.Larger Production of Potatoes
Is Required.
FORMER SUPPLY TOO SMALL
Eastern Agricultural Expert Believes
Acreage in United State? This
Year AYill Be Ijcsa
Than Normal.
Tt hi the opinion of potato dealers In this
state that the acreage planted in potatoes
here and In other parts ot the West will be
considerably Increased this year. Whether
the total U-klted States acreage will be lar
ger, however, remains to be seen. The crop
expert of the American Ste I A Wire Com
pany believes It will be less than last year,
because of the Increased cjst of planting;
nd producing the crop. In his latest week
ly crop review he says:
"Our potato growing industry needs a
balance wheel; it must have technical side
lines to steady it. The produce of years of
plenty must be made available for following;
lean years. Several practical methods are
available to steady the potato-growing indus
try. What others have done surely we can do.
The potato may furnish a quarter of the
food of the Nation at large; half of the food
of its worklngmen. No food lends Itself
more readily to preparation than the potato.
No matter how humble the home, how in
experienced the housewife. It Is always pos
sible to prepare baked, fried or boiled po
tatoes and warm over the left-over portions.
If the average yield of potatoes In America
could be raised to 00 bushels per acre in
1017 there would be one eight-ounce potato
for every man, woman and child of the
Nation every day of the year, and nearly
400,000,000 bushels left to export.
"The outlook at this writing, for the 191T
crop Is a material reduction In acreage, due
to several things: Scarcity and high coat of
good seed; high cost of the chemicals to
control fungous diseases sulphate of cop
per and corrosive sublimate; scarcity and
high cost of labor; non-purchasablllty of
normal potash fertilizer, and general ig
norance and apathy toward the reasonable
use of commercial fertilizers.
"In the past the cost of growing an acre
f potatoes has been S25 to J SO; an estimate
for 1917 la $125 to S130. Faced with the
size of the Investment, and doubtful of the
future, the potato grower thinks he is
playing safe" and the acreage Is likely to
suffer. Never In the life of the Nation has
there been greater need for a big crop of
potatoes, with any surplus converted In non
perishable form 'potato flakes' for human
food, and "potato meal" for cattle feed.
These products may be stored and kept for
years."

of Argentina offers. Consumptive demand
good. Flour firm. Submarine activity less
pronounced.
"India Official report wheat acreage 32,
845,000 acres; prospects fine.
"Argentina Weather unsettled south, fa
vorable for corn. Wheat 'offers light.
"Foreign crop summary rather unfavor
able." Bradstreet's estimates the world's visible

TTheat Ontput In Southern Hemisphere Also
Below Five-Year Average

tralia and New Zealand, the principal pro
ducing countries of the Southern hemisphere,
shows a 30 per cent reduction for the 1916
1917 season, but Is only . 7.7 per cent less
than the five-year average. A cablegram
from the International Institute ot Agricul
ture at Rome, received yesterday at the De
partment of Agriculture, Washington, D. C
announced the production of those countries
as 226,274,000 bushels.
Spain's wheat acreage, sown last Autumn
for this year's harvest la 10,134,000 acres, or
8 per cent more than last year, and Japan's
acreage Is 1,236,000. or 4-10 of 1 per cent
less than last year's acreage. 4
Spain's 1916 corn production Is given as
28.642,000 bushels, or 1.6 per cent less than
the previous year's crop. That, Included
with the production of the United States,
Canada, Italy. European-Russia, Switzerland,
Japan, and Egypt makes a total of 2.841,
C14.000 bushels, or 13.4 per cent less than
the previous year.
British India's rice production shows an
Increase of 3.7 per cent over 1915. and 19.1
per cent over the five-year average with
317.559.904,000 pounds. Spain's rice crop
was 532,896.000 pounds, an increase of 2.8
per cent. Production In those countries and
the United States, Japan and Canada total
343.605.728.000 pounds, an Increase of 8.5 per
cent over 1915.
RECORD ADVANCE IN TEA FRICE3
Causes of Recent Sharp Rise In Indian and
Ceylon Markets.
Late advices from India and Ceylon tell
of the greatest advance In Ceylon and In
dia teas that has ever occurred at one time.
Everything In the way of Ceylon and India
teas has been advanced 10 cents per pound.
Part of this advance Is due, no doubt, to
the scarcity of freight room and the ex
treme cost of insurance, and part of it Is
clue to the fact that only British crown
teas may be sent to Great Britain, and nat
urally this makes an advance In the cost
of these teas automatically. Whatever the
reason. It is a fact that Ceylon and India
teas have been advanced 10 cents per pound
All China teas are also very much higher,
than they were last year. The only teas
remaining at only a slight advance over
previous costs are the Japanese, teas, and
they are kept so by the fact that the Jap
aneee government prescribes the freight
rates on the Japanese subsidized boats and
naturally the teas are shipped on these
steamers.
Eggs In Smaller Demand.
The demand for esrirs was lighter yester
day and. prices we) about hall a cent lower.
with 17 cents the top quotation for current
receipts on the street.
Butler continued firm, with cube extras
selling up to 87 cents. No advance In print
prices Is scheduled.
Poultry and dressed meat were un
changed, with receipts light and the de
mand good
Celery From Florida.
A fair supply of steamer vegetables was
distributed along' the street yesterday and
quoted at unchanged prices. There were ne
express receipts from the south. A car of
Klorlda celery arrived and was put on sale
at 3 a crate.

Apples May Not Be Wrapped This Tear.
LEWISTON. Idaho, March 20. (Special.)
"The lOO per cent advance In the cost
of paper this year over last year makes it
imperative that the shippers of the North
west discontinue the wrapping of apples, ex
cept the extra choice variety." said Geeorge
E. Crum, of the firm of White Bros. &
Crura Company, which Is the largest ship
per of apples In this territory. "There is
no Justification for wrapping apples, any
way," continued Mr. Crum. "except the
extra fancy grade of the beat varieties. - It
is an unnecessary cost, which the consumer
has to pay ultimately. I am confident the
producers, shippers and consumers will be
glad to do away with this needless wrapping."
