Now with the crop turning out considerably larger than earlier esti mates, a figure of about IS to 20 million over normal storks is likely to be reported. However, in a "nor mal" year, without price support, stocks would Include much of what this season has been sold to depart ment of agriculture. Therefore, con jecture brings us back close to nor mal, say 105 to 112 million (normal Is around 106). Once the size of e malnlng stocks Is established month ly disappearance w ill be the key to the market situation for the re mainder of the arosou. The first complete report on the 1948 winter potato crop shows acre age at two-thirds of average and three-fourths of the 1947 harvested acreage.

However, in the past two weeks the government cars have amounted to over 10 per cent of total shipments and have accounted for more than 34 per cent of the total movement from Maine. Practically all late areas are moving more potatoes, showing that growers and shippers did hold off to take advantage of the Janu ary support level, the new tax year, or both. Note also that Florida.

M1SI KLLANV Department of agriculture has completed a deal for about 300.000 bags of certified seed for Austria. This Is good. We need the outlet and Austria needs the spuds. . . . Looks queer to us. Department of agri culture is .buying like crrrv in Maine, but grower prices are about at support. Looks as though we should about catch up to something sometime. . . . Government pur chases now total close to 31 million bushels. , . . Marketing agreement hearings are scheduled for January 1 to 21 In North and South Caro lina. Virginia and Maryland. Grow ers In- these states have not been much Interested In earlier efforts. . . . Prospects are favorable for an agreement program In South Da kota. . . . Department of agricul ture contracts with new potato flour producers, chiefly distillers who have converted pulp driers, will greatly expand output capacity. Now, If we can Just be assured of hikers for the flour, this will be a good forward step, . . . Some of the speculation on 1948 price support is getting out or nand. Conjecture on what Congress may do Is Idle. What ever congress does. If anything, will be too late for early and Intermedi ate crops. Consequently department of agriculture must Issue Its pro gram soon. This will not necessar ily set the pattern for the late crop, but support schedules would have to tie together somehow.
