The total production of Irish

sold on an advertised, competi
tive basis, it was announced this
week at forest headquarters
here.
Prior to this, sales have been
ftonducteci on a 1942 ceiling price
basis, under the price stabiliza
tion program, with the result
that the Forest service fre
quently had several bids at
the same figure, and had to
draw to determine the success
ful bidder. With price ceilings
being lifted, contracts will be
awarded to the highest bidders
in future.
Chestnut extract wood will be
the timber chiefly affected for
the present, it was said. For,
; while a small amount of green
timber will be sold, such as
; pine thinnings, the sale of
most green timber has been
suspended because of wartime
over-cutting. Deteriorating dead
chestnut stands, however, can
be salvaged as extract wood,
forest officials pointed out.
attention to the fact that prices
of the crop are relatively low
and quality high.
Total 1946 production has
been estimated at 471.146.000
| bushels, which is 46 million
bushels greater than the 1946
crop. This yield represents an
average production of 167 bush
els of potatoes per acre.
The early and intermediate
crops of Irish potatoes have
already moved to market, Mr.
Gardner said. It is the late
crop, produced largely in the
western part of North Carolina,
and of course, throughout many
of the northern states, which
is in such abundant supply now
There is not enough storage
space for keeping the entire
crop, and for that reason, an
increased consumption by the
i average family will be neces
' sary.
j The USDA, the producers,
distributors, and the State col
lege extension service have join
ed efforts In this drive to bring
the supply to the attention of
the buying public.
Mr. Gardner pointed out that
the housewife who buys and uses
these potatoes liberally is not
only preventing food waste at a
time when such loss would be
unfortunate, but she is also do
ing her family a favor by using
the potatoes In ? variety of
ways to pick up her dinner
