Total United Stjvtes Potato Crop Loxaie^. on Record

The Deceiuter 19214- estimate places the I92U potato crop at Î45U,7oU,000 bushels, which is over a million and a quarter bushels more than tho 1922 crop of ^53»396,000 bushels, and a ne^.7 record for potato production in this country* Other years of lr>xge crops and their total estimated production are; I9I7 with U42,l0u,000 bushels, 1Q12 ;ith U20,6U7|000 bushels and I923 \7ith UlS,105,000 bushels^ The average yield of pótateos for the entire United States in 192U ^jas I2U..2 bushels per acre. This is 2^ bushels per acre above the average yield during the past 10 years and lO. bushels above the formier high record of 113.^ bushels per acre secured in 1912* It is fortunate, under the circur^stances, that only 3-»062,000 acres were grorm, this acreage being U per cent less than the acreage grov/ last year and nearly I5 per cent less than the U,3O7,00O acres gromi iii 1922.. Although I9PU is the year of largest production, there have been 6 years in the past twenty when the production per capita rras greater. The average per capita production for the past twenty years is 3,77 bushels, while thç number of bushels produced per person in I92U was U.07* The percentage of the crop marl^etable was higher than in I923. In the 19 surplus late potato States 6S per cent of the crop was reported to be of such quality that it would bu gi^aded U.S. Ho, 1. Last year 6U per cent of the crop in these States was in that grade and in 1922, 60 per cent* The 16 de- ficient late potato States report 62 per cent to te of Ho, 1 grade in I92U, coEiprxod T'ith 55 per cent in I923 and 56 per cent in 1922 •

Cror> in Western States Lighter than in IQ?'^.

Practically every State west of the liississippi and Missouri Rivers that produces a s-'orplus, v;ith the exception of Missouri, Arkansas and Texas, had a lighter crop thjan in 1923^ Especially was this decrease noticeable in the Rocky Mountain and Pacific Coast States. This situation no doubt proved of some advantage to the States of California, Washington, Oregpn and Idaho, but the States between these mentioned and the Missouri River were doubly handi- capped by having a light yield and having to compete with a large total pro- ■ duction from, other more favored States.

The advantage derived by the States of Idaho and Oregon from the shorter crop in the T/estern Str.tes, however, v/as confined to the late crop* The early crop prod-uced in the territory around Cald^vell,. Idaho, and in eastern Oregon was marketed nainly in the State of Texas and surrounding territory and cane in direct conipetition with stock from niddlewestern States,

The Early Crop Territory

Generally speaking, the early crop, territory comprises the Caldi;7ell- Nampa, IdoJio, and the Hyssa-Vale,. Oregon, sections. The Caldwell-Nan'ipa section is the territory from Glenns Ferry, Idaho, west to the Oregon State line* It is only a narrow strip lying in the Snake River Valley and some of the tribu- taries. The Nyssa-Vale section is a part of this sanie producing area, but is across the State line in Oregon. The main shipping points in the Caldwell-^ Nainpa section are: Caldwell^ ÎTaqpa, Melba,. Wilder. Homedale, Pan:aa, Notus, Huston and other towns nearby» Kyssa, Vale and Ontario are the shipping points? m eastern Oregon. This section is much lorrer than other potato producing sections in Idaho and riatures the crop about six weeks earlier• The variety predominating in this district is the Rural, which is a favorite because it matures early and is a heavy producer. Some Irish Gobblers are grown, also a few Bliss Triumphs and Early Ohios. The chief objection to these latter varieties is that they fail to yield as heavily as the Rural. The point xn their favor is that they are ready for market a trifle earlier. Some Netted Gens are produced; these mature early enough to be shipped out ahead of the main crop in the late sections.

Crop Conditions

All of the land in this section is irrigated. In ordinary years yields are very good and the quality excellent. Last winter the snowfall in the mountains was very light and water for irrigation purposes was insufficient. Yields were materially reduced. Som.e growers allowed other crops to suffer fro. the drouth and watered their potatoes; other vice versa. Yields were spotted, one man having a high yield and his neighbor a low one. The crop was ready for çiovement to begin by July 21, but due to poor market conditions the shipments were very light during July and early Angust. Had plenty of water been available perhaps withholding the potatoes from the market would not have been so detrimental, but many fields were left without water for weeks and the potatoes being held in the hot dry ground showed con- siderable heat necrosis. It is difficult to estimate the amount of the crop that was lost in this manner, but no inconsiderable part of the decreased ship- ments from this section may be attributed to this factor.

Outlet for Croo Marrow>

The principal competitor of the Idaho-Oregon early crop is the Kaw Valle' section m Kansas. This year the Kansas Crop was heavy and the period of ship-' ment was extended later in the season than usual. Idaho- Oregon stock was forced to meet this competition in the Texas markets and early in the deal was almost shut out of the southwestern territory. The Chicago, Kansas City, St* Louis and other middlewestem markets tooL very little of the early crop, mutch less than hormal. In St. Louis and Kansas City especially the homegrown crop supplied the mátket almost entirely. -"3- In other seasons - cort-in ^^vioiant of stock hao gene -s fax east as ritts'burgh and Clevel-ixnd, This ':^vJjc tha largo crops in ^ev Jersey vX'ä.

luB-oection Service a Benefit

The high reput-.tion of the lö-Jio tjctato is due largely to superior qu^aiitji "bv.t it Duut be rer-er-hored that proper gr-^ding has "been a factor in r:xi:'rin3 a naao for idrj-io products. The percentage of the crop shipped that graded U, S. Ih. 1 ras high. Freight rates are too high from Idaho to the consun-.ing centers for poor stock to bo shipped profitably* Federal inspection service iz available at shipping points and the shipping point inspector is a big factor in holding the product up to standard»

The inforrrxition contained ia this sur£;ary is for the main part tri^n f2?on the daily reports issued fron the Cald-^^ell, Idaho, office of the Bureau of Agricultural ïteononics* The follo-^;-ing pages contain in tabular form the ïTiain fvacts of the deal. These tables are prepared so that inforir.ation may be readily available for.conpcxison and study. It is suggested that this svir^zrxy be Icept for future referonco, especially rrlien marketing next year's crop«

The Soutb7estern Idij-ho - eastern Oregon potato deal opened around the 21st of July, a reel^ to ten days earlier than in 1923 and it is estimated thr.t there are in the neighborhood of 500 cars yet to r.iove. To September 15th . 1,^96 cars had been shipped from the Early Section as compared to 2,269 to the same date last year# The demand frori the beginning of the deal until September l¿it vyas very limited* Kansas and Missouri shipped longer than usual and in larger volume and the Idoho-Oregon Section v;as practically, without an outlet. The price to the grorrer opened at around $1*00 per crrt*, and r^teadily declined to bO cents• On September Ist, as the Jiovement from !iansas decreased, the demand bécarre active and by the loth the grov/er i7as receiving from 75 to SO cents« At this point there v/as a reaction and on the 15th buyers were offering around 60 cents for carloads cash to tho grower ojxd ttiking only limited quantities^ In 1923 the deal opened at $1.15-1*20 to tlae grower and shortly advanced to vl.35- In a f6^7 days the price ^as generally around $1*25 ^^à held at that figure for about ten days then started to decline and by Septembor 1st had rerched 9^ cents a*id by the middle of the month S5 cents» There vore several crj^s of Eussets moved during the doej.* These 'Tere usually resackod at the car door by the grorer and netted him from 90 cents to $1,00 for U.S* No, 1 stock* Eastern Idaho moved som.e Russets that :7ere too green and this tended to weaken thje California max-ket for the mjore mature ïïestern Idaho stock. Early in the deal several cars of Irish Cobblers \7ere shipped, these sold on a par mth the Eurals. There xiore also, a very few car. of Bliss Triumphs shipped at the beginning of the season. These brought a premium of 5 *o 10 cents over the Hux\als. su-

prior to September Ist, the "bulk of the stock -7.^8 shipped in iced O?TQ^ but fron thnt d^.te on the demand ^vag for ventilated cars ojad icing was almost entirely dispensed ;7ith. The first T-eek in Soptenbar \7as unseasonably hot and considerable decay enroute resultt:d. This tended to have a depressing effect on the m.-^jrkets, Shortp-ge of irrigation rater in part of the district m^.terially reduced the ar^ount of potatoes produced and due to unfavorable market conditions» many fields Trere not dug in time and as a result the percentage lost through decay Tvas considerably. It is estimated that tha total output ^TíII fall about 6C0 cars short of that of last season although the acreage r/as practically the s^me
