In the aouthwestera atatea aa at thla time. Xurlng the past month the ahlpmenta of potatoea from thla state have been broken for all time and at the rate the rars are attll going out there will not be a single car of potatoes of marketable quality remaining in tne state or vre- gon when the present season come to n end. f .
