Potato Growers Advised
Not To Sell Too Cheaply
Growers would be well advised
refuse to accept less than $1.60
$2.75 per bag at the farm foi* good
quality potatoes says C. W. Bauer
Secretary of the Ontario Grower’s
Markets Council. Many growers who
are familiar with crop and market
conditions are refusng to accept less
than $2 per bag, realizing that with
the short crop this price will be eas
ily obtained -before the late crop is
ready to be harvested.
Even with the increase in price
the net returns per acre of potatoes
will be considerably below that of
a year ago.
From information obtainable from
other potato-producing districts in
the Dominion the 193i3 crop will be
considerably below that of the last
several years, while reports from
the United States indicate a drop of
over 60,000,000 bushels from last
year.
The unscrupulous trucker travels
miles daily from grower to grower
bearing down on the price, and us
ually is successful in finding some
grower who is not up to date with
market conditions and possibly
strikes a bargain away below mar
ket values. He then is in a position
to undersell his competitors, result
ing in a general market weakening
not at all in keeping with the law
of supply and demand. Naturally
the grower suffers.
Recent estimates received from
reliable sources place the early po
tato crop at no more than 150 per
cent, of the normal crop.
Prices to the trade on the whole
sale market recently were $1.75 to
$2.2'5' per bag, according to grade
and
