Potatoes
The acreage planted to potatoes
in 1939 is expected to be about 8
per cent less th a n in 1938.
W ith average yields, such an acre
age would give a crop of about 310
million bushels, w hich would be
around 60 million bushels less than
the crop of th is year or the recent
10-year average.
It is probable th a t th e g reatest re
duction in acreage will occur In the
late states, although it is indicated
th a t all areas will show some de
crease under the 1938 plantings.
The acreage this year was slig h t
ly sm aller th an in 1937, and the
same is tru e of ehe crop, which is
eseimated at 373 m illion bushels.
