Potatoes Plentiful and Cheap Amid Surplus Dumps
The region faces cheap potato prices despite major crop failures nationwide. Northern growers dumped surplus after holding back last year, driving retail prices down from $1.25 to $1.65 previously to about $1.15 to $1.35 now. Frost, late rains, and efforts by the food administration limited losses, while Waterloo markets report eight to ten sellers offering direct-from-producer spuds at $1.15 to $1.35 per bushel. Detroit's aircraft industry employs about 70,000 workers with plans for a large government band. Petitions circulate to reduce the county board from seven to three members, with signatures expected before a special meeting.
