Drouth Follows Frost in California Government Pays Double, San Francisco That gwid old stand by, the potato, was never before so high in price as this year, is the sad fact gleaned from local produce men who know whereof they Neak. The king of the vegetables, however, is not the only exalted member of that kingdom, for oranges, apricots, cher ries and pears have advanced and even the lowly and odorous onion has risen to such heights that a small fortune is necessary to buy a boiled dinner. During the early part of the season the crop of early Mitatoes wa.-i nipped by an unexpected and unusual front. Immediately the demand for that veg etable for home consumption and the export trade greatly exceeded the sup ply. Government contracts took from tho local markets enormous quantities of potatoes. Now that ex cessive heat has almost ruined the crops in the truck-raising country in the East, California will have to stand tho brunt of the demands for Western fruits and vegetables. As the pick of California fruits and vegetables al ways go East, a more serious problem will soon be confronting the local markets. Prices paid last year for government potatoes was $1.14 per hundred, while this year the jxitatocs are costing the government $2.53. Ice Famine Spreads Woe. Hartford City, Ind.
