ment. The paper says:
“ Now, as if by magic, this fertile
soil has produced a crop that has
made many o f our farmers rich over
night. The story reads like a fable.
It seems impossible and unbelievable
that hundreds o f our potato raisers
have cleared from $20,000 to $100,-
000 on the crop that they have
planted and matured within the last
four months. Many are tenants.
Fifty thousand acres o f this upper
valley was planted to potatoes. Many
o f the best fields produced 300 sacks
of No. 1 potatoes to the acre, each
sack yeighing 120 pounds. The grow
er can sell his potatoes fo r $3 per
hundred on the farm, or a total of
$900 per acre for his crop. It costs
less than 50 cents per hundred to
raise the crop and deliver it to mar
ket. This leaves the grower o f the
maximum yield a net prolU, on each
acre o f $750, or 7 1-2 per cent net
on a valuation o f $10,000 per acre
for his land. It sounds like fiction,
like the story o f a mining camp, but
cold figures do not lie.
There is nothing unusual about
our yield this year. Idaho is a sure
crop country. For 50 years we have
produced a bumper crop. In all that
time we have not had one single year
o f failure.”
