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.

i ■ . 1 as between 4.SU0 and .• cars.
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. The earlier shipments have
gone principally to Texas and bullish
ina. but later shipments will he made
to Oklahoma and Arkansas.
