Up to and including yesterday's shipments, there have been 248 carloads of pota toes shipped from Beaufort by rail, ten by trucks and twenty by water. It is expected that seventy-five more carloads will be shipped by rail during the rest of the season and per haps twenty or twenty five by water. This will bring the total for the season to approximately three hun dred and seventy-five carloads, com pared to about two hundred and twen ty five shipped last season. A county-wide yield of twenty to one or better yield is expect" 1 to be attained by the termination of this ri . ol d-breaking season. Yields of twenty-fie and thirty to one on whole fields are quite common throughout the county, and one farmer attained a field of fifty-five to one on about half-acre plot at Straits. The local market has hovered a round one-fifty, with today's market set at $1.45. It has b.en said that if the farmers had been able to get an increase in tne price ot potatoes in proportion with the increase in the retail prices of foodstuffs, that they would have "mopped up" this season. As it isfi practically all o the" ptf ta to growers have either met all ex penses or made some money, and in addition have their land fertilized sufficiently for a crop of sweet pota toes or other crops.
