The Idaho and Eastern Ore
gon Potato Committee met this
month at McCall, Idaho. The
present officers were re-elec
ted for another term. Reports
on potato production for this
coming year were heard. AH
indications are for a general
increase in production. Mal
heur County’s potato acreage
summary indicates a slight de
crease in production from 15,-
525 acres in 1968 to 15,187
acres for 1969. Southwestern
Idaho’s potato acreage sum
mary consisting of 10 Southwest
Idaho Counties indicates an in
crease in production from 28,-
590 acres in 1968 to 30,124
acres In 1969.
The acreage
summary for both Southwes
tern Idaho and Malheur County,
Oregon shows a slight in
crease in potato production
from 44,115 acres in 1968 to
45,311 acres for 1969. The
state of Washington reports an
increase in production for 1969.
An increase of 2-3 percent Is
anticipated for Northern Cali

It was announced that fees for
the Committee to administer
Federal Marketing Order Num

at the rate of 2 mills per 100
pounds. These fees come from
the fresh pack that is shipped.
Last year the amount of fresh
pack shipped through this Po

lion bushels compared to 16
million bushels a year ago.
Due to the decrease in the ship

an assessment of 2.6 mills/
