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.
