Potato Crop
' WASHINGTON. Jan.
Still troubled with surplus pota
toes from last year's record crop.
Secretary of Agriculture Ander
son said tonight 1947 production
goals will be cut much more
sharply than previously an
nounced. 1 The original 1947 goals called
for 100.000,000 fewer bushels of
potatoes than last year. This was
to avoid repetition of an $80,000,
000 loss the government sustained
in buying surpluses to support
grower prices.
Fourteen states were allotted
smaller acreages than they planted
last year, but 34 states got more.
Officials said, however, the in
creases were allowed states with
low per-acre fields.
