This compares with a total yield

U course, Is th cause. Potato
acreage In the United Slates Is

The condltjon of the potato
crop on July 1. however. Is esti

now at the Klamath basin, which
produces normally about one
third of all the commercial pota

THIS Is what we find:
The Klamath basin Is facing
the largest production In Its his
tory. The acreage planted to po
tatoes Is about 10,000 this year,
which Is within 100 acres of the
largest planting on record.

WHAT should that mesn In the
way of price?
Well, let's see. In 1915. the
smallest previous crop In ths pail
II years, totsllng 113,000.000
bushels In the I'nlted States, the
price opened In the fell here at
II. 60 to tl.00, and In the follow
ing spring went all the way from
13.00 to 13.00.
Remember, that crop, taking
the country as a whole, was larg
er than the present crop promises
to be. It must be taken Into con
sideration, however, that condi
