Newspaper Page TextV' National Potato Letter New Potato Crop Shows Big Gain; Shipping Off Over Nation; Demand Slow Supply New polatoea will dominate the market completely noon. The early crop estimate lor May 1 puts the winter crop at only about 40 per cent of last year, and 64 per cent cil the 10-ycar average. The early prlnK group stands at 60 per cent of 1946, but Is almost squarely on the average. The late spring group Is put at 65 per cent of 1946. but still IS Jia per oeni. iu 1 this group accounts for 34 of the 38 million bushels estimated for the three groups, this excess over the average assumes considerably more Importance than the declines In the other areas. Acreage In the summer sections (production report due June 10) Is only 85 per cent of last year and 87 per cent of average. If yields come out In the same ratios as Indicated for the earlier sections, however, production would be about 88 per cent of last year and 120 per cent of average. Weather still is a doubtful factor, but our guess is that there will be plentv of early crop spuds from now on through August : probnblv no verv serious surplus In actual supplv, but enough overlap to be troublesome. Even the over lap will be moderated bv the uni formly bad weather and may not be a factor until July. Movement Shipments last week skidded off sharply to 4837 cars, with only 33 of these for the government. This leaves a daily average of 801 cars, which Is not too bad. California is way out ahead with 2057 cars for the week; Maine second with 73S cars but pushed hard by Florida with 622 and Idaho with 588. Ala bama moved 278 cars while Michi gan with 141 and North Dakota with 107 were the only other states to pass the 100 mark. Only five early states shipped last week, but these five accounted for nearlv 62 per cent of the total movement. Demand and Markets Maine reports mostly a slow de mand, the market about steady and prices down 5 to 10 cents at 60 to 65 cents over the floor. Hastings. Florida, demand has been mixed moderate to good to fair bv way of slow the market steady after dull ness and weakness and prices down 60 cents at 20 cents over the floor, washed basis. Southern Florida sup plies have been Insufficient to quote. Foley, Alabama demand has ruled slow to fair, the market about steady a tier weakening and prices down 65 cents from the May 7 opening at 60 cents over the floor on a washed basis. Wasco. Califor nia, has ruled slow Improving to good, the market weak but turning steady and slightly stronger and prices down 5 to 10 cents at floor for washed stock. Chicago reports demand mostly slow and the market dull and weak for old stock with demand mostly slow to fair and the market weak for new. New York has ruled dull and weaker for old: dull and unset tled with some weakness for new. Atlanta, held steady for old, weak for new; Boston, dull for old, mostly weaker for new: Detroit, about steady to firm after early weakness on old, generally weaker on new; Minneapolis, steady on old, weaker on new Califomias, steady on new Texas: Philadelphia, slightly weak er early but turning about steady for all stock. San Francisco held steady on old offerings, weak on new Long Whites but steady on new Reds. Trackholdings appear to be extremely high, although some un doubtedly are undelivered seed for areas now planting. Miscellany We hear that several areas are actively interested In activating or developing marketing agreement programs. Colorado will operate under its state program, but Idaho and the 4-state central area (Michi gan, Wisconsin, Minnesota and North Dakota) probably will acti vate the programs initiated In 1941 but dormant during the war. At least one other Important area and two smaller ones have Indicated a desire to explore the possibilities of similar programs of their own. Meanwhile, congratulations to all of them. Competition will be tough again, and the areas most willing to do their own "uplifting" will come out on top. Marketing agree ments give the Industry a chance to develop their own programs, and to operate them as welL An interest ing commentary, as we understand OUTSIDE PAINTING Guaranteed PRE-WAR QUALITY!

May 17 " You don't have to pay a city tax to live here and no resident has paid one since 1930. But the city Isn't in debt. It doesn't owe anybody a cent and has some 350.000 to 8400,000 In its treas ury. Chanute. a beacon of civic pros perity in an America of debt-ridden communities, is the only debt-free, tax-free municipality of its size 1 11.0001 In Kansas. It didn't get that way through siphoning off part of the take front gambling dens and racn tracks, as have some Florida and Nevada com munities. Gambling Is Ulcsol in Kansas. ' Chanute put Itself into the black ink side of the civic ledger by going Into business for itself. It took over the ownership of Its own public utilities water, gas, electricity and pays for the cost of all municipal government through .earnings from these services. "But our utility rates are well within the average, charged by other municipalities throughout the state." said Ross Cooper, 45, city clerk, "and most citizens approve of our way of paying city government costs." Part of Earnings These costs are about 1125.000 a year. Including police and fire de partment expenditures, but they measure only partly the earnings of the city-owned utilities. Chanute Issued 644,000 in bonds to 1 build a water plant in 1893. - It bought out a private gas company i in 1899 by threatening to build Its own municipal plant. - In 1903 the city took $32,000 from . Its municipal gas company earnings to buy out an unsuccessful private electric power company. "The owner was glad to sell for $32,000," said Cooper. "Now our elec tric power plant is worth at least $2,000,000." Klamath Business College 733 Pine St. Enroll now for Special Summer Study for a Complete Business Course.
