The Price of Potatoes
r
Who regulates the price o| potatoes? Just a year
ago potatoes were selling at $8 a barrel. I hey are
now selling at $2.75, only about one-third as much
as a year ago.
According to financial statements from the Federal
Reserve Banks, the general conditions in trade are
about the same as a year ago. llnterest, fertilizer,
freight, barrels, and most other things cost practically
the same as fhey did a year ago, yet potatoes are
down 66 per cent. Can it all be on account of a heavy
yield? Certainly not. Inhere are not three times af
many potatoes as there were last year. The fact is,
the yield in the eastern Carolina section will l»e no
larger per acre than last year. In the Aurora sec
tion, some of the !>est farmers are getting as low as
38 barrels per acre, and 60 barrels per acre is consid
ered high this year. There may be some increase in
acreage, but not heavy.
The market must be ruled on the stale of mind
rather than the supply and demand. - This year buy-

ere think they can get potatoes when they want them,
forcing the growers to hunt an outlet for their po
tatoes, with the buyer holding the whip, making it •
buyers' market. Last year it seemed that the buyer
was afraid he would not get potatoes, hence the
grower ran the market.
This condition proves the unsoundness of our mar
keting system. One year a crop sells at a price un
reasonably high, at a price the people generally could
not afford to pay for it. One year later, with very
little larger output, the producer gets a price below
the actual cost of production and finds no market at
all for anything except the very best of his potatoes,
and js forced to let all except his prime potatoes rot
on the ground.
We need a more sensible way to carry the food
from the producer to the consumer than through the
channel of speculators, who hath not mercy. Last
year the sjieculator starved the poor eater by putting
potatoes too high; this year the grower goes broke
because potatoes are too low; yet there are about the
same number of eaters and potatoes each year.
Of course, some people may say the speculator has
had nothing to do with the market, but since the grow
er and the consumer never have anything to do with
the prices, the speculator must be chargeable with
creating a state of mind that has- for two years badly
unbalanced a legitimate business.
Earlier Opening of Tobacco Markets
Eastern Carolina tobacco growers, in connection
with growers of other types of tobacco from the old
belt and also from Virginia are urging the tobacco com
panies to open the markets earlier than last year.
Thirty thousand farmers are insisting on August 21
as the opening date in this belt.
The august United States Tobacco Association
has granted a hearing to the warehousemen and farm
ers at Old Point Comfort, Va., June 27, at which
time the matter will likely be settled.
Tobacco growers lose hundreds of thousands of dol
lars by late market openings. They lose in time, in
nSKnaged tobacco, and in many other ways.
This is a matter of too much importance for the to
bacco buyer to exercise all the authority over. Of
course, the farmer does .not expect to have one word
to say about what he is to get for his tobacco, but
when it comes to having nothing tn say about when
-he is to have a chance to carry it to the buyers, he
feels he should be recognized. Every farmer that
wants an early opening should write Newell G. Bart
lett, secretary of the Eastern Carolina Chamber of
Commerce, urging him to help in fixing a suitable date.
