Maine Potato Farmers Unhappy Over Controls
Maine potato farmers and shippers condemn Office of Price Stabilization price ceilings as unnecessary and foolish, warning tighter controls may shorten future supplies by removing incentives to hold crops.

Housewives welcome the lower staple price, while industry leaders cite two lean years and reduced parity as reasons ceilings trim excess profits.
