Sol;d Increase Seen In
Spud Shipments Last Week
Suppllet
Potuto ghlpplng areas report
no unusual change In the sup
ply situation although severe
cold weather In tho Hod River
Valley may have caught some
stock In temporary storage. If
so, any change in the statistical
position due to auch loss will not
be figured until tho January
stocks report. Disappointing
movement of recent weeka sccma
likely to leave a heavy carry
over on January 1, but export
shipments plus the possibility
of still heavier foreign business
improvo the outlook consider
ably. Movement
Shipment laat week took a
good aolid Increase with a total
of (1032 curs or a 0-day average
of 1005 compared wlUi S170 the
week before. Government cars
dropped from 487 to 344 for tho
week, so commercial movement
enjoyed tho whole boost. Ex
ports to Canada aro not shown
however, a government cars, so
the Increased movement does
iwit necessarily mean any im
provement In domestic demand.
A rough comparison of ship
ments this season and last, from
tho 18 late surplus states (ex
cluding Long Island and Wash
ington, which shipped very
heavily during tho summer)
show that this season still is
behind last by nearly 4800 car.
Remember also that this com-
farlson matches tho very heavy
05 crop against the average
production of 1044, and that up
on tho basis of crop size, we now
should be ahead of last season to
this time, rather than behind.
A chock of the individual
states shows several significant
changes since last week. North
ern California, Colorado, Ne
braska, Long Island, North Da
kota and Oregon shipments ore
up significantly. Maine is up
527 cara. Western states are not
yet affected liy the export deals,
so increases There arc going In
to consumption. Tho 1045 Ore
gon crop is not greatly above
last year, and much of Its in
crease was In early marketings.
Therefore, Klamath Bosin is esti
mated to have only slightly
above a normal supply, and cur.
ront shipping rate Is enough
above normal to Indicate an
early clean-up for Klamath pota
toes, if maintained.
For the country as a whole,
tho export movement is primor
lly responsible for the higher
shipment figures. Deliveries for
Belgium have picked up sharply
and we understand that tho 1350
car contract actually was com
pleted on time. Rumor has it
that tho quantity may have been
Increased a little to come out
even on the ships. Reports from
Michigan Indicate that practical
ly the entire cnrlot movement Is
heading for Canada. Apparent
ly tho domestic market for Mich
igan will not pay the support
price at this time.
Demand and Markets
Markets generally continue
dull, with demands mostly re
ported slow to very slow. Maine
is one exception, with moderate
demand and firm market report
ed "about steady" again this
week. New York state showed
up this week with moderate de
mand, slightly stronger market.
Idaho showed up weaker late
last week but held about steady
early this week. Oddly last
week s Idoho report snowing a
weaker market also slated that a
car shortage was curtailing ship
ments. Maybe the car snortage
la a blessing price-wise, although
the fact remains that Idaho's
production is 13.8 million bush
els over avcraiic: with very little
dehydration In prospect, there
fore needs to move ireely during
the cnllro marketing period.
Last available reports show
vory few domestic soles in North
Dakota, all 85 per cent or more
U. S. No. 1, at floor. Maine has
held about at floor, maybe a
nickel under floor depending on
how vou value size A compared
with regular U. S. No. 1. Idaho
reports very few soles ut 15 cents
over floor quite different from
the 15 to 25 cents over celling
that provuiled there only a few
weeks ago. Michigan Is export
ing at floor, with practically no
domestic sales. In Colorado,
prices are mostly 15 to 20 cents
below floor for unwashed stock.
Washed runs higher, with an oc
casional car at floor. Wisconsin
reports very few soles with one
car of commercials, 85 per cent
No. 1 or better, sold at 40 cents
below floor and most others
rolled unsold. Now York, re-
nortlng a slightly alrongcr mar
kct, sold at 8 cents above floor
for size A, -about equol to 5
cents below floor for straight
U. S. No. 1 grode.
Latest terminal reports show
the Chicago demand slow, mar
ket about steady. The New York
market held generally steady,
but stronger for best eastern
stock. Philadelphia was slightly
weaker on Maines and dull on
others but with signs of steady
ing. Detroit and Atlanta held
steady, Boston and Minneapolis
mostly dull, but Boston firmed
some during late trading.
Price Supoort and Surplus
Removal
The Belgian export deal Is fin
ished for all practical purposes.
with the likelihood that the
quantity loaded exceeded the
1350 car order to finish out the
last shin. Deal with the French
now is a reality, with the con
tract calling for upward to 41
million bushels and 400 cars due
to load out of Baltimore by De
comber 10. That would be one
large boat, and doesn't amount
to much in terms of quantities
originally rumored. Our guess
is that the agreement is based
on prices and terms, with the
quantity open on account of car
and laoor snortages wmcn mignt
prevent delivery of a fixed quan
tity on a time schedule basis.
Terms probably are about the
same as for Belgium, but under
stand purchases are made basis
delivery to pier instead of l. o. b.
Stands to reason that most stock
for the French will come from
the mid-west because Maine is
furnishing most of Canadian de
mand. This should mean that
the U. S. will have to Include
commercials as this area gener
ally ships relotlvely few straight
u. s. no, is.

Only a year and a month af-
tcr o wild tomato wa crossed
with a commercial variety at
the Intcr-Amcrlcan Institute of
Agriculture Sciences at Turri
alba, Costa Rica, American
troop In the American tropic
wore eating quantities of fruit
from tho new hybrid tomato,
"Turrlalba" which, for want of
a name, la Ha designation. This
almost unprecedentedly quick
result followed a combination
of good luck, good management,
wartime pressure for food, and
the rapid growth of plants In
tropical areas. The new tomato
is one of the first fruits of Latin
American cooperation at the institute.
Joseph L. Fennell formerly
a U. S. department of uiirlcui
ture specialist in semi-tropical
plants at Coconut Grove, Fla.,
put now a mcmoer oi tne insti
tute staff reports thl tomato
breeding experience to the of
fice of foreign agricultural re
lations In the current (Decem
ber) Issue of Agriculture in the
Americas an official publica
tion of OFAR.
There was need for a tomato
variety that would thrive In the
lowlands ond islands of Latin
America. The tomato is a South
American plant, but the South
American tomatoes that have
proved valuable in breeding ef
forts by the U. S. department
of agriculture have come from
highland areas. At Turrlalba
the staff workers had tried out
28 tomato varieties that they
thought most likely to .succeed
In Costa Rica, and none had
done well.
In March 1B44, according to
Fennell. they brought to the sta
tion a wild tomato of the cherry
type which had the quality of
growing and producing in Costa
Rica. They crossed this with a
commercial tomato and got
firomlsing hybrid seed for plant
ng in November and December,
and in this crop there were
plants enough to leave abundant
seed stock and also to supply
400 crates of standard grade
tomatoes to sell to the troops
this spring.
Ordinarily it takes years to
develop any new hybrid plant
to the commercial stage. The
"Turrlalba" tomato has not yet
been fixed as to type end, there-
rore, tne Drecaers can not re
lease it for general commercial
planting. But each generation
of seed brings a plant closer to
"release" after the skilled
HERALD AND NEWS THIRTEEN Thurad.f. P. . Hit
plantsmen have "rogued" the
plantings to destroy plants not
up to standard. "Turrlalba" is
In Its third generation only 16
monins alter tne iirst cross, en
nell reports. Already more than
15 acres of the tomatoes have
been planted for sale as fruit
only but not for seed, as the
hybrid is not an established va
riety. The commercial parent of Tur
rlalba was "Cuban Marglobe,"
an offshoot of the widely popu
lar Marglobe tomato introduced
20 years ago by the U. S. de
partment of agriculture.
