Priam Edward Island is the only province in the East that had a good crop of potatoes this year, although the Prairie Provinces all produced above the ayeeage for ten years, Sas- katchewan and Manitoba doing par- ticularly wela. Quebec's predaction was below the average. British Col- umbia's yield was below the average but exceeded that of last year. On- tario's .eop, both east and west, was not half crf hest year, but the northern districts showed up satisfactorily. Over the. wholeprovinceethe yield was 1031le bushels per acre against 152 la-st year„anct an average al 119te for the year 1911 to 1921. •T,hese bets aretaken from the Dominion Fruit Commissioner's report, dated Novem- ber, 1921.
