European Spud Crop Smaller This Year Potato growers In this roan try put lea land In potatoes and got small er eropa this year than last, and In Europe, per acre yields were, lower duo to bad weather and acre age decrease. Naturally, we think of th Unit ed Bute as cult a potato country. Although potatoes originated in Latin America, our farmer grow about four times aa many potatoes as all South America. But all North America, Including the United State, raises only about a tenth as many potatoes as Europe, Little Britain grows almost a wany potatoes aa we da Western Germany alone raises about half again a many. Poland produces about three times as many. And the grow more than twice aa many petatoea as Poland, and ever a third of the world's total. Foreign relations officials of th D. S. department of agriculture re port that this year all the big and little potato countries together had a crop of eight billion bushels. That below last year and below prewar but about up to the world wide wartime average. With world population up 10 per cent during the past decade, that figures out aa fewer potatoes per person than before the war.
