Potatoes and gravy cost rise on weak 1964 crop
In 1964 the U S potato crop fell to its smallest in seven years with about 2.66 million 100 pound bags harvested nationwide. Prices rose in San Francisco to 79 cents for a five pound sack of Oregon Klamaths as Idaho russet bakers dropped to 20 cents a pound. Market observers predict prices may ease by spring but no major decline until mid May. In Maine's Aroostook County, a larger fall crop and weak competition buoy the potato market.
