POTATO PRIGES MAY GO HIGHER Government Forecasts Tell of Short Crop This Year Btorrs, Sept, 18 (P—That potato prices this winter are likely to be high as a result of the short crop, Which according to government tarecasts is the smallest, with one exception, in 24 years, was the state- ment here today by I'red V. Waugh, extenslon economist of the Connecti- eut Agricultural college, Mr. ‘Waugh's accurate predictions on po« tato prices in the past have attracted much attention, and his remarks are regarded as important by potato growers throughout the country. The Connecticut crop has this year been good, mostly because of the in- ‘ereased plantings of potatoes on to- bacco land in the Connecticut val-| ley. Mr. Waugh's statement follows: “The September forecasts of pota- to production made hy the U. 8. de partment of agriculture indicates a probable production of almost ex- actly three hushels per person in the United States. S8ince 1901 there has been only one vear with a lower per capita production, and that was 1916 when we had a production of 2.9 bushels per person. In 1911 we had another year of low production, there heingz 3.1 bushels per person of | potatoes produced in the country, Probably many farmers will remem- ber the remarkably high potato prices in 1916 and 1911, “The average per capita produc- tion in recent years has been about 8.7 bushels. The report for this year indicates that we will be short over one-half a bushel for each per- son In the country, A reduction of the supply to this extent is bound to have its effect on prices. At the present time prices are depressed, due to increased shipmnts from late production states as Maine and Min- nesota, which were cncouraged to dig early by the high prices at the beginning of the season, These low prices should be temporary, however and as soon as the digging season is over we should see an increase in prices.” Japanese Island Is Overrun With Bears Tokyo, Sept. 18 (A1t is reported from Nemuro, Hokkaldo, that bears are increasing so rapidly in Yetorop, the largest island 1in the Kurlle group, that the inhabitants are seri- ously considering appealing t¢ the Japanese government tor afd. It is varlously estimated that there are now between 8,000 and 10,000 bears on the island, Hundreds of horses and cattle are killed and eaten by the bears year- Iy, it {8 said, and unless something is done to exterminate the bruins, it is feared stock-farming on the island will have to be discontinued.
