J ??m? ...If "'J., .. r : New Potato Variety" 1 Gets Wide Acclaim 1 ; - ? ? The Sequoia Irish potato, one of N. C. State College's latest contribu tions to the field of horticulture, is r receiving abundant praise in many sections of the United States where it has been tried on an experimental basis. M. E. Gardner, head of the Col lege's horticulture department and co-developer of the potato with Rob ert Schmidt, said research men in a ^ large number of states as well as in Canada, Mexico, and Cuba have re- Jl ported excellent results with the ? Sequoia. A late potato, the new variety has ^ outyielded established varieties con sistently during a five-year test TC period in this State. During the past ^ half-decade, the Sequoia averaged 347.5 bushels to the acre. In the same test, Cobbler yielded- 224 bush- 111 els, Katahdin 218 and Chippewa 263. Gardner explained its high yield- s* ing ability is . attributed largely to its marked resistance to leaf hoppers, bl flea beetles, and . blight, all deadly enemies of the crop. It has been 11 estimated that'leaf hopper alone re duce yields in Western North Caro- ^ jlina each year from one-third to " one-half. v - a Approximately four acres of Se- e! quoia were grown in 1939 in an islo- b lated seed plot. Prom this, between P 80 and 100 seed samples were dis- b tributed to oooperators and growers tl in the United States, Canada, Mexico is and Cuba. 0 Practically all reports which have I come in on the performance of the c Sequoia have painted glowing pic- P tures of its possibilities.

Improvement in business conditions Meeting the domestic demand for ** irm products has continued into pi ily, tiie Bureau of Agricultural Kco- a >mic8 reports in its monthly analy s of the demand and price situa* ' on. ^ I Industrial employment and pay ills have risen along with.the aa* msion of industrial output since (] pril. Domestic consumer' demand for a eats, dairy and poultry products, ]j ?uits and vegetables has been ^ lengthened by this stimulation of omestic business and is expected to 0 9 better during the last half of 1940 b lan during either the final half of ti J89 or the ftret 6 months of 1940. ? The Bureau pointed out, however, lat the recent rate of improvement i demand conditions is slowing down j] nd that the greater part of the pres- t nt rise in industrial production may d e over. Whether the recent im- a rovement of demand conditions will a e followed later this year by fur- j her gains or by a temporary relapse j ? dependent in considerable degree " n condition of the war by Great i tritain ? most important overseas ustomer for both industrial and farm roducts. -? j ? ** ? The outlook for farm product ex- { torts both for the immediate and ( he longer-time future is highly un- t atisfactory?particularly for cotton. \ rhe loss of export outlets for farm ( troducts brought about by the clos- \ ng of additional continentiol Euro- j lean markets will continue without , tffective offsets for the duration of j he war, although the stoppage of ( lupplies of dried and canned fruits j ind vegetables from the Mediter ranean area may later result in larg ;r Uuited States exports of these \ iroducts than in recent months. Similarly, the shutting off of for- , ner European export supplies of pork < nay divert some business to the United States. Evaporated milk ex ports from the United States already lave been increased as a result of the stoppage of continental export supplies. Wholeseale commodity' prices re ceded further in June but at. a slower rate than in May. Agricultural prices were aghin tKe weakest group although" some improvepient, particu larly in livestock prices, appeared to ward the end of June. Though commodity prices . appear to be low relative to the expanded rate of industrial activity, there ia little reason to anticipate any early marked inflationary price advance. Two periods of inventory building within the past year have failed to bring about such a rise, the Bureau pointed out. Important export mar kets have recently been closed, and, except for some products needed in armaments, production capacities are not in immediate danger of being strained. Farm prices have shown mixed trends this month, with grains, fruit and vegetables lower, and meat ani mals and eggs higher than in mid June. Farm income, which was re duced in June by low. meat animal prices and by the failure of new wheat marketings to start as early as usual, probably will rise in July by at least the amount usual for this season.
