Washington County's potato crop
was its big thing this year from
an agricultural standpoint. The
man who had planted from two
to five acres of potatoes and had
a fairly good yield was the man
who got inside the money. Po
tatoes started selling early in
the Fall at $1.10 per hundred
and before February closed the
price had gone up to $3 The
market slumped a little in March,
and then stiffened in April.
C. B. Buchanan, whose com
pany has been the big buyer in
this county, estimates that the
new money brought to the coun
ty for the 191(5 crop runs into
round numbers the magnificent
sum of G(X.(XK) if not a little
more. He thinks that over 300,
(KM) sucks have been sold and the
average price to the grower has
been over $2 per sack. Mr.
Buchanan says that there are
still atwut six thousand sacks in
the hands of the growers.

better handling of dairy work
