No Famine In Spuds This Year
Local farmers report the potato crop in Lawrence county will be better than last year. Uncle Sam says spuds for the year will meet demand, easing consumer fears. L. C. Corbett of the agriculture department notes total harvest down from last year due to holdovers, low prices, and demoralized trade, with Maine expected to lead production. Michigan and several northern states to have large crops. New York and Ohio pale in contrast. The average condition sits 10 percent below the 10 year average but 19 percent above 1911. The Buhl club of Sharon seeks 15,000 to raise in two days for the 30,000 project.
