National Potato Leffer- Potato Shipments Climb Sharply During Past Week Major late crop potato areas now confirm earlier reports that some frosted potatoes were har vested not many, but these frosted potatoes are included in government crop estimates al though they are not marketable and will break down in storage. Full accounting of the loss will not be available until around January 20 when the potato stocks reports as of January l is issued. Market Shipments Increase Shipments during the past week climbed to 5522 cars com pared with 4877 cars the week before. Average for the six days was 020 cars but government buying for diversion and export accounted tor sa cars ot tne week's total against only 237 rare the DrecedinB week. Furthermore, a good many cars have gone to Canada wmcn means that domestic markets have not absorbed the total movement. In fact, if arrivals at selected markets are an accurate index, markets may have taken fewer potatoes as arrivals last week at 16 major terminals were only 1681 cars compared with 1916 for the week ending November 9. Changes by '. states for the week show Idaho ud 164 cars, Maine up 533, Michigan up 87, Minnesota-North Dakota up 111, New Jersey down 186, Oregon down 90, and relatively slight changes in other states. With the exceotion of Idaho, states show ing increases are the states con tributing to Canadian exports and Maine also has furnished a large quantity of potatoes for ex port under the deal with Bel gium. , For the season to date, ship ments have gained slightly com pared with last year. Taking out Long Island and Washington shipments, which were heavy during the summer season, we are now 5705 cars behind last season to this time whereas we were approximately 10,000 car loads behind only two or three weeks ago. Demand and Markets Domestic demand continues slow to moderate at shipping points with the markets quoted weaker to firm, and firmness limited to shipping areas supply ing potatoes for export. Most markets are reported steady or about steady with prices practi cally unchanged trom last weeK although North Dakota is report ed to be rolling many domestic shipments unsold. Terminal markets show a wide range in activity. Boston has been dull and weak with Chi cago slow and dull in Colorados and Nebraskas, firm under mod erate demand for Burbanks and firm with fair demand for best northern stock. Detroit has held firm on most offerings with Michigan stock unsettled.

Minneapolis has held firm on western, slightly strong er on best northern; New York steady on eastern stock but dull on western. The week has brought no significant develop ments in terminal markets but there has been little life in trad ing which is not particularly alarming as poor demand and slow markets are customary at this time of the year. Generally, however, the light demand has not been unsatisfac tory to growers and shippers, many of whom show no inclina tion to push trading as they are feeling their way until after the end of the year. One reason for lack of aggressive offering by growers and shippers may be the prospect for lower taxes in 1946, payment of which will not be due until March, 1947. At least some growers who are not in need of cash are taking this into account in shaping their market ing programs. -Acreage Goals for 1946 Potato acreage goals for the intermediate and late 1946 crops are being discussed in Washing ton this week. Nothing official is available on the 1946 goals but the figures which were taken into the meetings for discussion were aimed at producing be tween 370 and 380 million bush els from all plantings for the 1946 harvests. How the final goals will come out, we cannot say. It is a fairly safe bet, how ever, that they will be set some where near these figures with the expectation that growers ac tually will plant to produce probably 10 million bushels more than the goals. This should give an adequate potato crop for 1946 although some 40 to 50 million bushels less than the very large crop produced this year. . ... ' I Here is a point to look for in the 1946 goals. Secretary An derson already has announced continued heavy production of farm crops in 1946 but wants to have these crops produced at lower per unit cost so as to af ford reasonably priced food for consumers and still return satis factory income to growers. This may mean greater acreage reduc tion in high cost producing areas with not quite as large a portion of the total reduction in the hinh yield and mechanized states. So far trus isn't settled, but it is a good bet. Seed business freauentlv gives a clue to the next year's acreage prospects. So far seed markets have been very quiet and ihe usual early contracts and orders are conspicuous by ujeir scarcity. Unwillingness to take on seed contracts may be due to a num ber of causes uncertainty as to whether prices will go up or down desire to know acreage goals and price support plans for 1946 uncertainty as to the late crop clean-up and whether or not price control will be contin ued. 1 Watchine seed movement during me next .two or three months, especially contracts for future delivery, may help some pruuueing areas in planning meir isio plantings. diversion and fries Support Diversion to industrial nutlets is progressing with little change with the nlant at Muscatine. Iowa, apparently operating at capacity on stock irom midwest temporary storages. Philadelphia plant is operating but at reduced volume and Maine starch plants are wonting at less man half ca pacity, as increased loadings for export are not yet reflected in factory receipts of low grade po tatoes. -Deals with Canada and Belgium ate progressing satis- iactoruy witn approximately 1100 carloads already shipped to anaaian outlets ana more tnan 1300 carloads either cleared or ready to clear Atlantic ports this week for Belgium. Frenr-h Hool for a considerable quantity of potatoes is not yet closed but Washington potato officials, rather gloomy six week's back, look pretty cheery now which means they expect further for eign deals to bite still deeper in to our harvest-time surplus. Lumber Production Takes Severe Drop WASHINGTON, Nov. 28 (ff) The civilian production admin istration reports September lum ber production totalled 2,196, 045,000 board feet, a decline of 17.6 per cent from August and the "most severe drop between successive months since the war began." Production the first nine months of the year was down almost 13 per cent from the same period of 1944. The August fig ure was 2,663,534,000 board feet.

Secretary of the Interior Ickes announced todny the sign ing of a contract between the bureau of reclamation nnd the national resources commission of China. It calls for bureau en. glneera to prepare the designs and specifications for what may oe me largest concrete clnm ever bum. The Chinese government will pay an estimated $800,000 to the bureau tor its technical assist' ance. The contract carries no com. mltment for actunl construction which Ickes said rests entirely with the Chinese government and might require 25 years or more. Kay Feature Key feature of the proposed development plan is a dam larg er than Grand Coulee to bo lo cated in the gorge of the Yang tze near Ichang in the heart of China. It would buck the river into a reservoir 250 miles long. The plan also calls for the construction of numerous other dams, hundreds of miles of Irri gation canals, the world's largest hydroelectric plant and other facilities. The design work will be done in the bureau's Denver office under the supervision of John Savage who drew up the plans for such great American dams as Grand Coulee, Boulder and Shasta.
