Money From Potato Crop Exceeds Early Estimates High Prices at End of Season Ground for Belief that Money Brought Into Section This Spring hy Lowly Tuber Wait More Than 8730,000 With 99 per cent of the early I Irish potato crop disposed of and. with shipments dwindling to 7 5 bar rels a day and less. tin* forecast of a 2rt0' ??nrri'! crop for this M?otion mat!*- at tli?' rjose of lh.- IVdi-r.il market news bureau here secius lo have been approximately correct. Shipments to date &re 191.400 bar rels, or &.H0O barrels short of tin* estimate. Estimate* that the growers thin year would receive approximate!} three quartern of a million dollars for their potatoes on the basis of a 200.000 barrel crop were if anything It now appears, rather conservative. This Is duo to the fart that the price of potatoes-was considerably higher toward the end of the season than at the time the foregoing estimates were made. On Northern markets till" week potatoes have been quoted at a barrel and farmers who have had any to ship have been able to sell them at the dock at Elizabeth City for $r? a barrel?an unusually high price for the end of the season. Sweet potato shipments from Lower Currituck and Camden should begin in about two weeks, according to N. Howard Smith, of the Carolina Potato Exchange. Mr. Smith believes that the prospect is good for sweet potuto gro""*rs to make good money this year if thev will use ordinary judgment In marketing their crop. It will not do to wait too late, he says, until the Carolina potatoes have to compete with the sweet potatoes ol more northerly states; but on the other hand Iho gro'wers should not get panicky and begin digging too, early or too hurriedly, as If tboy were bent on putting the whole crop on the market In one week. He urges that digging should Jiot begin before August l and that extensive digging should be delayed until about August* 10. Digging on a gen eral scale should he on not later than August 10, in his opinion, but even then ran' should taken nol to overload the market. Reports front Currituck are that prospect* for a good yield of sweet potatoes this year are bright.
