No. 101. 1 ? nniw JV IM1LT U IE I ' 1 Comment 07 Day's 'News By FRANK JENKINS. THE department of agriculture, on July I. estimate tho potato crop ot the United Statea at 808,423,000 bushels. This compares with a total yield ot asT.R7fl.000 bushels In 1933, snd a five- year average yield of 357.0O0.O0U bushels. That la to say, potato production in . tTnitrf Rt.nts aa a whole 1 HEAVILY DOWN thla year. TNFAVORABLE weather, of course J la the cause. Potato acreage in the United States la down relatively little, being estimated at 8,323,000 aa compared with a five-year average oi 3,313,000. The condition of the potato crop n jiv 1. however, Is estimated at only 72.3100 being regarded as aver age. Thus we have another example oi the fact that mere acreage reduction doesn't necessarily mean crop reduc tion. What happens In the way oi total crop yield depends wholly upon the weather. SO MUCH for the United Statea as a whole. Let ua take a look now ,t the Klamath Basin. In Southern nrhich oroduces normally bout orie-thlrd of all the commer elal potatoes grown In Oregon. Whst do we find here? BwairrA is what we find: 1 The Klamath Basin la fsclng the largest production In lta history. The acreage planted to potatoes la about 10,000 this year, which la within 200 acres of the largest planting oi record; Hut oroduction thla year la estl mated at present .at about 1,500,000 sacks, which compares with 1,200,000 sacks in the largest year so far on record. mn irn-aee la somewhst below the 1 record, but because of unusually favorable growing conditions the , .... nnh- i eitiectlng the lamest potato crop In Its hletory, By an unusual piece of good for tune, this record potato crop In the vi.wiat.li country comes In a year when potato production throughout the United Statea la low. it THAT should thBt mean In the W way of price? well, let's see. In 1828, the smallest tirevlous crop In the past 15 years .-..u-.. 919 non ooo bushels In the MJ WUB ' United States, the price opened in the fall at 1.50 to 2.00. and in the following spring went all the wsy from M.00 to S3.90. Remember, that crop, taking the country as a whole, was larger than the present crop promises to be, must be taken Into consideration however, that conditions were gener ally better and money more plenti ful. So the chances for a high price were somewhat better. N 1930. the next smallest crop 1 the past 15 years, total production in the United States waa 333.O00.0OU bushels. In the fall of that year, the open. Ing price In the Klamath country waa around S1.7S. In the fall of 1930, the depression waa Just begtnnlng to get sctlvely under way, and the amount of money In people'e pocketa was beginning to decline. So the price dropped olf later from the opening figure. T-aOTATO prlcea are related very 4 closely Indeed to supply. In 1935. for example, total produce tlon In the United Statea waa 823 000.000 bushels. Thla crop sold for H04.000.000, or an average of Just a little less than (2. In 1925 total production waa 355,' 000,000 bushels, and thU crop sold for 1601,000.000, or a Uttle leas than the smaller crop of the year before, Now listen to this: In the follow. Ing year, 1927, total production In the United Statea rose to 406,000,000 bushels, and thla much larger crop sold for only 1317.000.000, or only about HALF aa much aa the far smaller crops of 1935 and 1926. Potato prices, you see, go down ts the supply goes up snd go up aa the supply goes down. And do It radl rally. IT SEEMS probable at the preaent moment that the potato crop will bring something like 12.000 000 into jCosjlqued, on Pap JURY MEDDLING L HEARING SET FOR AUG.JJY JUDGE Affidavits Show Former Pro bation Officer's Activities After Drawing of Jury to Try Gordon Schermerhorn Amos W.

Former President Hoover Is not the only one who Is doing a Uttle sly resuscitation work over the sleeping Republican elephant. Some of the men who were left out of Mr. Hoover's Palo Alto parties are quietly getting together themaelvs. If you watch th door of Charles D. HUlea' office in New York you will soon find out who they art. One Is most certainly Senate Minority Mo Nary. He and Mr. HUtes are supposed to have a pow-wow within the next few day a. Their conference may prove to be far more Important than Mr. Hoover's, There are no two smarter men in the party. Very soon they may have what might bee ailed an anti-Hoover group. They will not call It that, but their purpose is clear. t Their plan will be shown when the Republican national committee meets at Chicago September 16. Mr. Hoover's strategists wlU be sur prised to find out then how far thla thing has gone. They may learn Mr, Hoover s influence is not what it used to be. Some of his right hand men have shown prlvats Inclinations of being left handed here lately. They have their own personal careers to think of. Some of those personal letters Mr Hoover sent to Washington were ad dressed to Chsrles ' Curtis, tha x vice president. ' You could not get. a squint at these letters If you offered your right eye. But If you did arrange for a look you wluld find Mr. Hoover waa not pleased some weeks back at the way bis party lieutenants In oongrtss were handling themselves. He thought they were laying down and letting Presi dent Roosevelt walk over them. Hs wanted some fight shown. The Indications are strong that Be haa changed his mind since. Unless he has, there will be a warm tussle at Chicago. (Continued on Page Six) FAVOR REPEAL BY By the Associated Press.)
