wa THURSDAY, NUVEMBER 8, 1928 SLENDER WAIST | FAD CAUSES BIG SPUD SURPLUS Fewer Potatoes Per Capita Consumed Than in Previous Years, Figures Show Accomac, Va., Nov. 8.—(#)—The American woman's desire for a boy- ish figure is blamed by farmers on the Virginia peninsula for the pres- ent plight of the potato market. They know all about the argument of economists that poor prices are the result of a huge crop and in- w creased acreage, but they also know that fewer pounds of potatoes are consumed per capital than in the good old days. That, they say, is because women avoid starchy food. Whatever the cause, the decline in orice has been a blow to farmers on the narrow peninsula across Chesa- peake bay, known as the eastern shore of Virginia. Here the people grow potatoes as the principal,crop, smile when the price is good, and go fishing when the market is slow. Has Good Soil The “kingdom of the potato,” as ‘his section is sometimes called, long has been one of the best farming sections in America, the last federal census showing that Northampton ounty ranked first and Accomac second in the value per acre of crops oroduced. Only one county in the United States, Aroostock, Me., pro- juces more potatoes, and its area is much greater than either of the eastern shore counties, The farm ncome of the two counties last year was $26,173,600 and was approxi- mately 13.5 per cent of the gross i some of the 100 counties in Virginia. No spot in the country is feeling more keenly the effect of the queer »conomic paradox that brings low ovices with bumper crops. Yields seldom have been equaled, and those who watched the market barometer have done lots of fishing. Fish Important Item They could do worse than fish. No small income is derived from this pastime, as well as from the shrimp and oyster catches. Chesa- peake bay, with an average of 11 ‘ons of fish caught annually per square mile, is the richest fishing rround in America, government fig- ares indicate. While the potato is the big money ith shipments to more than vk-ts in the east, middle west, outh, and Cuba, eastern shore THRILLS SEE the Great $2,000,000 “UNCLE TOM’S CABIN” Greatect Human Drama Ever q Screened Great Cast—Big Production A Treat for the Whole Family LAST TIME TONIGHT Performances 7:15 & 9:00 p. m.
