Minnesota farmers poised for record potato yield
Minneapolis Aug 2 Minnesota farmers expect to harvest about 34 million bushels of potatoes this year about 15 bushels per person in the state with favorable weather potentially pushing the government estimate of 33 653 000 bushels higher. Experts note 1917 and 1915 crops and the trend toward larger yields, led by strong market outlets and new starch plants north of Minneapolis aiding rapid cash turning of crops. Rail services and car availability are being addressed by the U S Railroad Administration to improve shipment regularity and prevent bunching of shipments, according to officials including W L Barnes and O W Tong.
