Worth Platte Is in tho potatoo area 'allowed by the Council unon tho
of western Nebraska, Llucoln County
nas, produced vast quantities of gooJ
potatoes and can do so again. During
tho year 1920 Lincoln County farmers
sold many thousand bushels of pota-'aI
toes on tho streets and in the mar-
kets of this city. Theso potatoes wero
mostly Bold nt about frost tlmo or
when the ' markets were glutted. At
thnt time the price is usually the
lowest Not many Lincoln County
growers aro In a position to storo
thoir potatoes and so they pass Into
tho hands of local dealers who havo
arranged to take caro" of a limited
part of tho crop. All potatoes sold in
the North Platto markets woro used
'n North Platto. Not ono car of pota
toes was shipped out of hero accord
ing to tho records In tho freight of
fice here. Then in addition to tho
entire homo output, North Pintle Im
ported sixteen cars of potatoes or
approximately 10,000 bushels. That
moans wo did not raise within ton
thousand bushels of onough potatoes
to supply tho North Platto markets
last year. It is estimated that tho
doflclency will bo still grcator this
year because of tho poor yield in sqmc
sections of tho country. As a result
of those conditions tho price paid' in
North Platte is a little bettor than In
most places. A week ago ono of our
local grocers paid $1.50 a bushel for
a small lot of unsorted potatoes and
three days lattor ho received a car
load of graded, government Inspected
potatoes which ho sold for $1.15 to
$1.35 a bUBhol.
