I EXCHANGE HELPS HOLDUP PRICES Independent Sputl Ituyrrn Are I'ot llAYlng n Walk-iiwny As In Former Yera The Nebraska potato growers' co cperatlve exchange Is Rlready having uiarked beneficial effect on potato prices, according to an artlclo ap pearing In the last Issue of the Scottsbluff Star-Herald, which anal yes the present situation as follows: "So far as the potato growers ol the North Platte valley are concern ed, the work of the new potato ex change Is starting off in splendid shape. This is deduced from the re ports received from those who are members of the exchange and who have started shipments under the direction of.that association. Settle ments were made with local shippers the first of this wek on a basis of $1.90 per hundred f.o.b. ear Scotts bluff for No. 1 white spuds, and from $1.50 to $1.60 for No. 2 red pota toes, shipment being made the same day. "One of the most valuable portions of the exchange system is the fact that the members are kept In ab solute touch with market conditions through a series of dully bulk tins sent out from the headquarters of the exchange. As an Illustration of this service, take the bulletin receiv ed by branch exchanges on lust Wed nesday for Instance, it 'reading as follows: "Alliance, Neb., Oct. 6, 1920. Un favorable weather conditions is thi developing cause for a possible slight decline temporarily. We advise holding shipments a few das. The next cool wave will cause additional demand. Nebraska Potato Growers' Co-operative Exchange." A year ago at this time pvlces in Colorado ruled very perceptibly higher than here. As a result of the establishment or the exchange It Is noted by a perusal of the report of the bureau of markets report for the same day as above noted, that the Nebraska condition is very much bet ter than in Colorado. The market at Greeley and nearby points was unset tled, with demand and inotremtvu limited and very few sales. No. 1 whites, grade were quoted at Gree ley at $1.10 to $1.14. At Alliance on the same data ' a betier wire Inquiry was repoitod. Vaiehouse cash to growers No. 1 $1 ?0 to $1.25. No. 1 sacked Early Ohio, $1.50, some consigned. In other vrnls. the wi'f,i!!?fcment of the etchange seems to have resulted In a general bidding upward for the Nebraska ppuds. When the farmers f the valley realize the benefits and become mdr generally in line with he movement the results will be even better. .Some of the local growers are in clined to store a goodly portion of their crop, remembering the condi tions which obtained last spring and hoping to get in on a like condition In 1921. These in close touch wlit. conditions, however, say that while it may be well to store a portion of the crop at this time, that the holding over of large quantities until spnnu will be rather risky, especially if the yield comes anywhere near the crop estimate. Independent buyers are reported in the Held, but they are not haviug the same walk-away that they had i.i years gone in the matter of secur ing potatoes at practically their otfTt price. One rather desperate and pe r sistent ugeiit told a local grower in? other day that the latter should t,0 the price offered because of the fact I hat the spud crop this year was es timated at "eight billion bushels." The farmer smiled and asked if that was the highest figure the buyer knew, because "trillions" came after billions, and a good lie was always better than a poor one when it came to figures. The easiest thing some coroners do is blame dead men for their own deaths. Prices are coming down, but no body is geting dizzy from the rapid ity of the descent. Well, anyhow, the workmen never quite got to the point of employing a caddy to carry tools. Europe has served notice that 11 wants American coal. And bo, ii may be observed, does America. With plucked cytbrowa, it's not the original cost, it's the additional time one must spend on tne Job. "Never put off until tomorrow what can be done today." It may cost you about a dollar more.
