Inveatlfratlon made among various re
tailers In Portland showa that pota
tooa are now classed aa a luxury. There
la- a curtailed demand and everyone is
eating them sparingly. While those con
sumers that purchase potatoea by the
eack are able to buy them from their
retailer at perhaps ie a pound, the
average buyer purchase in smaller lots

rate of about 80 a pound for the extra
