National Potato Letter-
Grower's Reports To uve
Greater Effect On Market
In A Five And Dime Store
must-:
With a not too difficult Job ahead in
cleaning up the 1945 late crop, acreage
for the 1946 potato crop and month to
month growing reports will influence
potato markets more from now on. The
18 late surplus states ore now scheduled
to have 1.695.600 acres in 1946. according
to growers' intentions reports, a reduc
tion of about 8.5 per cent from last year.
The decline is heaviest in the west, 12
per cent below 1945, compared with a
7 per cent acreage reduction in central
area and 25 per cent reduction in the
eastern states.
The acreage pattern shows, however,
that in 1933-44 the eastern states, with
average yields 34.6 bushels above the
average for the group, had 29 per cent
of the total acreace. These states now
have more than 30 per cent. The west
ern area formerly had about 26 per cent
of the acreage in the group, with yields
44.1 bushels over the average. Now the
western states have 31 per cent. This
represents an acreage shift toward the
higher yielding areas, in which smaller
acreages, can produce the same or larger
crops as compared with the lower yield
areas. The twelve remaining late states
are down o.i per cent irom last year,
but they are down 23 per cent from the
average, which emphasizes the shift
toward the high yielding commercial
areas.
In the intermediate group, a 3 per cent
acreage reduction is indicated, zargeiy
reflecting the influence of New Jersey,
which is down 10 per cent from 1945.
Here again, the high yielding areas have
a significantly higher proportion of the
acreage in comparison with the 1933-44
period. In the early areas, acreage is
shown as 2 per cent over last year and
6 per cent over acreage. In this group,
the shift to high yield land is equally
remarkable. In that nearly 14 per cent
of the 1946 acreage is indicated for land
able to yield 215.4 bushels per acre more
than the group average, compared with
only 7.2 per cent in the average period.
The one area alone, in this group, has
the capacity to produce more by Itself
than all the early states together did 10
years ago.
For the United States as a whole, the
indicated acreage with yields equal to
the 1940-44 average would produce a
crop of 36,705.000 bushels. This is a
little more than the 378 million pro
posed by the Department of Agriculture
as 1946-47 requirements, but with heavier
demand this quantity should clean up
at support prices or better. If we get
a repeat of the record yield of 1945,
however, the croup would jump to about
412 million. Two factors still may
alter planted acres as compared with
currently announced intentions. It is
still early, and strong markets could
influence a change in intentions in both
the intermediate and the late states.
Also, the prospective acreage is the
smallest since 1893 and serious drought
or blight in anv imnortant section nnulri
change the prospect from one of reason
able plenty to winter-long shortage for
me auto iaie crap manteiing season.
Movement
Movement last week wa frratifvlntf
but below the previous week. Total for
the 7 days was 7126 cars, an average of
1188 cars dally. Maine jumped 762 cars,
but all other important areas were down.
Biggest drop was in the Red River valley
which was off 667 cars from the previous
week. Such areas as Colorado. Washing
ton. Oregon, Nebraska-Wvomine. show
stronger evidence of a prompt clean-up.
Maine seed now is a heavy percentage
of the total movement, and represents
possibly one-half to two-thirds of all
Maine shipments. Government cars now
are negligible, with only 14 cars dur
ing the past week although 54 cars of
manufacturers including starch, alcohol,
flour, dehydration, and glucose.
Demand and Markets
. Markets this week generally- are more
consistent, with a weaker tone in some
that were too strong before. Maine re
ports a light demand, market slightly
weaker with 5 out of the last 7 reports
showing prices 10 to 15 cents below the
previous week. Idaho, demand has been
slow, market about steady, prices un
changed from last week at 15 to 20
cents over ex-ceiling. North Dakota de
mand has consistently ruled very slow,
market dull and weaker, prices 10 to
20 cents under the floor for very few
sales. Colorado reports the demand
light, market steady, prices the some ns
last week at 5 cents over ex-ceiling. Wis
consin demand continues light, market
about steady, too few sales to establish
market, Michigan has ruled fair, market
about steady, prices 5 to 10 cents below
last week and about 10 to 15 cents under
ex-ceiling. Upstate New York reports
slow demand, market slightly weaker
after a sharp mid-week break nnd prices
35 to 40 cents under last week but still
15 to 20 cents over ex-celling. Dade
county, Florida, demand has ruled mod
erate with the mnrket about steady.
Dade county prices have shown con
tinued recovery from the low of two
weeks ago, now ruling $2.00 per 50-1 u.
bag.
Terminals generally reflect country
reports. New York reports old, dull and
weaker; new. dull. Chicago reports old
stock demand slow, market dull: new.
demand fair, market firm. Atlanta has
held steady for all stock. Boston ruled
dull and slightly weaker for old with
no late report on new offerings. In
Detroit, old stock has been dull with
new holdings firm. Minneapolis re
ports old stock dull with new offerings
slightly stronger for best. In Phila
delphia, old stock has been dull for
Idahos, weaker on others and dull on
new. San Francisco continues to dem
onstrate the strength of western stock
in coast markets, with Klamath Russets
quoted at $3.75 to $4.00 for U. S. No. 1,
size A in LCL lots at wholesale.
Late Crop Clean-up
Looks now as though there will be
an easy clean-up of 1945 late crop ex
cept possibly In the Red River vallcv,
which had 20 per cent of the total March
1 stocks almost double its stocks of last
year and about the same as were re
ported in the Red River valley at this
time in 1944. We see no difficulty any
where else, regardless nf the e.irlv prnn
. Canadian demand still is heavy, but
13 reponea as tailing on somewnat Be
cause of dissatisfaction with the com
mercials being offered. Other export
deals now are dead. Alcohol and glucose
plants are expected to take fairly heavy
shipments of deteriorated stock how
ever, beginning immediately. USDA is
inviting bids on the dehydration of
around 1,500.000 bushels, to be pro
cessed in potato-producing areas. The
Red River valley will continue to have
trouble with bad condition -due to field
frost and overloading of storages. This
condition probably means a headache In
winding up the loan program, as both
borrowers and USDA are likely to take
losses.
