OREGON What’s next for potatoes depends largely upon grower re action to current high prices, points out Stephen C. Marks, Oregon State university extension agricultural economist. Hardly a year ago, the potato industry was in its third year of depressed market conditions. Then “mother nature” inter fered and prices soared during the current marketing season for last fall’s crop. What happens next depends mer and fall acreages. The guides upon the growers and the call for a two percent reduction weather, Marks emphasizes in in Malheur county’s fall acreage eight percent in other Ore- the new Oregon Farm and and yon counties. Market Outlook circular just pub lished by OSU. Copies are avail able from county extension offices and the OSU Bulletin Clerk, Cor vallis. Increased Acreage Expected Odds are that growers will re spond by increasing acreage for harvest this fall, Marks observes. Given normal growing conditions, the fall crop then will not only be larger than last fall’s short one, but it will also be larger than the winter market can ab sorb without a drastic reduction VISIT FRIENDS AT VALE from current price levels, he adds.

This is about the same as the low yield 1964 fall crop which en joyed unusually favorable prices. There is an off chance that plantings may be tempered, Marks notes, if the late spring crop turns out big enough to cause prices to fall well below February levels.
