".-- .Special.)— i lie market news station of the t.’nlted State* Department of Agri culture and the Nebraska department of agriculture, which ha* been located iti Alliance since September 15, in charge of O. D. Miller, has been cl need for the season. Market reports on potatoes during the heavy potato shipping season were Issued daily. Mr. Miller's final ropn. t gi\.s the fol lowing information to potato growers: Total shipments from w< stern Ne bra ska to dnte total 1.S00 c.ns, repre senting about 10 i>er cent of the crop. The quantity which will actually move w ill depend to a consul, ralde ex unt on tirices during the u-muinder of the season. Sh pment tlgures for the last four seasons indicate that normally approximately 60 tier cent of the crop of the wc-.--.tcrn Nebraska district Is shipped by the end of No \ ember. This year's heavy crop do pressed prices and demand, and a shortage of railroad equipment re stricted the movement during October nd November from producing dis tricts all over the country.

This showi’<i an increase of only 15 t ^r cent over last year's 4. ’a■11 cars.' The acreage showed an increase of o\cr 45 per cent over J93K Hnt the unusually hot, dry season produced a poor yield in all parts of the district. This estimate was later further re duced because of freezing In the lat ter part of October, which eliminated nearly 5 per cent of the crop, Includ ing, besides the actual damage to potatoes in pits and those left In the ground, many fields which were not dug at all oh account of poor yield and freezing Injury. It now remains for market prices to decide whether western Nebraska shipments will ex ceed or fall short of the total reached last season. As usual, about 50 per cent of the shipments of the table stock from w estern Nebraska lias gone to < ities and towns in the eastern part of tho state, and the other important re < rivers have been Iowa, Missouri and Kansas. The growth of the potato industry in South Dakota has elimin ated several markets In that state w hich formerly used Nebraska table stock, while ill. demand for Nebraska potatoes in low i has been reduced because of a surplus production thera this year.
