Potato Shortage Not Understood— “The reasons for the current potato shortage are seemingly not too well understood by too manv people,” according to Har ry E. Ressel, chairman of the Holt PMA committee. Some people believe that the government, through the Com modity Credit corporation, was taking oart of the 1951 potato crop off the market. This is not the case. Ressel says. There was no potato price support program on the 1951 potato crop. The potato price support pro gram was dropped because the program was reportedly costing too much money. Actually, the cost of the potato price support program for the 17 years 1933 to ’950 was 14 cents per person per vear Basing the average potato consumption at 135 pounds per person per year, the increase in the price of potatoes bought by tKe consumer from the 1951 crop will cost 23 percent more than the entire potato price support program cost for 17 years.
