National Potato Letter
Total Spud Shipments Last
Week Snowed Sharp Decline
December IB potato crop re
port will give a good Idea as to
how the crop actually turned
out. This means that murket
factors to watch now aro move
ment, which la sort of cumula
tive clue to spring supplies of
late stock and the January
merchantable stock! report,
which will show up the amount
of freezing loss suffered In Ida
ho and some other states, espe
cially In tho Red River valley
where some stock In temporary
storage may show loss. Impor
tant Item from a market stand
point Is that If those temporary
storages aro not emptied before
tha freeze-up, thoy cannot be
emptied until weather moder
ates. This would tend to dam
up supplier and Increase the
size of market supplies in the
spring. t
Movsmsnt
Total shipments last week
slipped off again after climbing
the weok before, Daily average
was 863 cars or a total of S178,
compared with 5547 curs last
week. Most significant change
was In Maine, where the de
cline was 4'i2 cars, or more
than the gains In other states.
Note, However, government
cars Increased from a total of
the previous week of 390 to
466 cars which means that do
mestic consumption actually
fell more than the shipment fig
ures Indicate.
Drop was partly due to the
holiday and Thanksglvlng-to-Christmas
doldrums, which Is
no cause for concern. But part
ly It was duo to lack of de
mand, which cannot be dis
counted, and to unwillingness
to sell before the 1945 tax year
runs out. This may mean that
some potatoes, not marketed
when they should have been,
still may be around when they
shouldn't be. Possibly the tax
savings by delayed marketing
will be offset by a wild scram
ble to unload after the year
ends. If this occurs, the Janu
ary 1 stocks could be exces
sive and we can't expect the
storage shrink we had In 1943
1944, because this year's crop
is generally of better than aver
age quality.
Demand, Markets, Prices
F.o.b information indicates
little need for a detailed report
on shipping point markets.
With one exception there is
practically no change in ship
ping points since last week's
letter, with all markets charac
terized by slow demand and
dull to fair trading. The excep
tion Is Idaho, which took a turn
for the worre with little de
mand and the market slightly
weaker this week. The same
f.o.b report states "car shortage
curtailing shipments," which
uhould mean that shipments
would be heavier if cars were
available. Obvtously this would
be bad for a weakening market
but good from the standpoint
of getting the crop moved. Goes
to prove what we said before,
that folks In the potato business
hang tight when the market is
stout but tend to sell all they
can move when the market declines.
Border states from North Da
kota on east are getting a nice
outlet in potatoes for exports,

They're special peas
that's why. A
Del Monte improve
ment in selecting
and blending that
adds up to the
flavor richness
you expect from
Del Monte I
-the quality peat with the flatXH, fiiSC blend
for which the demand continues
strong. Frankly, these export
deals h-ve been a life-saver.
Maine, uptnte New York, Mich
igun, and the Red River valley
almost certainly would be In
serious trouble without this out
let. In Michigan, the price Is
nominally at the floor, but
there are very few domestic
sales. In the Red River valley
and Wisconsin there are so few
domestic salts it is difficult to
establish the true market level,
and many of the valley offer
ings still are rolling unsold.
There has been little indication
that the Canadian - deal would
affect western stock, but re
ports of scarce supplies In west
ern provinces hint that Idaho
Oregon and Washington may
get some of the Canadian busi
ness which might help hold
prices in these areas although
there doesn't seem much possi
bility that cither the United
States or Canadian government
would subsidize shipments at
above-floor prices.
Terminal market Information
Is somewhat sketchy this week
because of last week's holiday.
Generally, the terminals show
little change from last week,
with a wide range of feeling
reported although last week's
Chicago telephone strike natur
ally interfered with the normal
conduct of business in that im
portant market.
Starch diversion continues at
about half of factory capacity
and is unlikely to rise much
until Maine shipments pick up.
The alcohol plant at Muscatine
now appears to have plenty of
supplies in sight, mostly under
special . emergency loans. Phila
delphia plant is slacking off
due to the cleanup of govern
ment holdings in New Jersey.
Future operations at this plant
are somewhat doubtful.
Exports are an Important fac
tor in the markets. It now seems
impossible that USDA will be
able to fulfill the Belgian con
tract during November, as
agreed. Maybe Belgium will
grant an extension, but we have
no word on this yet. Canadian
shipments reached the 1100-car
mark last week and may run
up to a total of 2000 cars in
terms of Canadian import per
mits this week, although ship
ments certainly are consider
ably behind this figure. Current
reports in Washington say that
Canada expects to take about
1000 cars more this year and
up to 5000 cars the first half of
1946. Many of the currently is
sued permits for Canada may
cover future deliveries, since
possession of a permit is a pre
requisite to making a purchase
contract. The French deal still
is warm and may yet develop
for a rumored OH million
bushels. If true, this would be
a splendid development, mar
ketwlse, as it .would take an
other 10 per cent of our initial
1945 surplus and make the
spring cleanup prospect much
less troublesome.

Would this be fair?
Can you imagine your milkman, grocer, bar
ber or tailor charging you extra just because
you were able to pay more than some people?
Of course you can't. And what a state of con
fusion everything would soon be in if people
tried to operate that way.
Suppose the people GM workers trade with
told them, "We know you make more than
most industrial workers, so we're going to
charge you more for everything!'
Yet this is exactly the principle VAW-CIO
leaders are trying to establish in their wage
demands on General Motors. : - '
To be logical, union leaders should also say
to a company that is losing money, "You're
having a hard time making both ends meet
. so we're suggesting a cut in wages."
Can you imagine any union leader ever making
such an offer? Of course, you can't.
